It seduces people into seeking out all kinds of mysteries in order to find answers to anything they want to know that does not present itself in normal life. We can see that even people who think well in terms of natural science, out of their natural scientific view of the world, repeatedly and again and again come to an inner dissatisfaction, that they come to a higher yearning for knowledge in relation to the spiritual and that they then somehow try to satisfy this yearning for knowledge precisely in the field that is now under discussion. It can be seen that great naturalists can be completely taken in by what appears to them as 'wonderful revelations' in this field. Many examples could be cited from history and from present-day life where natural scientists, who are extraordinarily important in their own field when they want to explore the spiritual, repeatedly fall back on the phenomena related to somnambulism in order to find out something about a spiritual realm.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Revelations of the Unconscious in the Life of the Soul from the Spiritual Scientific Point of View","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-02-12","location":null,"word_count":190,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-02-12/p025","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Being as a Spirit and Soul Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA071b/English/SOL2024/19180212p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Wir können sehen, dass selbst gut naturwissenschaftlich denkende Menschen aus der naturwissenschaftlichen Weltenbetrachtung heraus immer wieder und wiederum zu einer inneren Unbefriedigung kommen, dass sie zu einer höheren Erkenntnissehnsucht gegenüber dem Geistigen kommen und dass sie dann irgendwie versuchen, diese Erkenntnissehnsucht gerade auf dem Gebiet zu befriedigen, von dem jetzt die Rede ist. Man kann sehen, dass große Naturforscher ganz und gar eingenommen werden können von dem, was ihnen als «wunderbare Offenbarungen» auf diesem Gebiete entgegentritt. Viele Beispiele könnte man aus der Geschichte und aus dem gegenwärtigen Leben erwähnen, wo Naturforscher, die auf ihrem eigenen Gebiete außerordentlich bedeutend sind, wenn sie das Geistige erforschen wollen, immer wieder und wiederum darauf verfallen, die mit dem Somnambulismus verwandten Erscheinungen ins Auge zu fassen, um dadurch zu erfahren, es werde ihnen etwas kundgetan über ein geistiges Gebiet.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":180,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-02-12/p025"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-02-12/p025"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":180,"en_words":190,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11846,"original_word_count":11427,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Being as a Spirit and Soul Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA071b/English/SOL2024/19180212p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
