And when one describes the spiritual world, what one expresses it with is a translation into ordinary language. When you read my book 'Occult Science', you must not believe that the way in which things are expressed is an immediate reproduction of the vision itself, but it is translated into ordinary language and must be translated into ordinary language. For that which presents itself directly to the spiritual researcher is the same as what he puts into words, into concepts, into ideas, but it appears in a pictorial way. Hence one can also say: Consciousness is not the ordinary logical, rational consciousness, but an imaginative one that arises first. I could still bring out many more characteristics of the seeing consciousness. Above all, however, I must discuss the other phenomena, which I have listed in groups, precisely from the standpoint of this seeing consciousness.","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":180,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-02-12/p047","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.

Und wenn man beschreibt die geistige Welt, so ist das, wodurch man sie ausdrückt, ein Umsetzen in die gewöhnliche Sprache. Wenn Sie mein Buch «Die Geheimwissenschaft» lesen, so müssen Sie nicht glauben, dass die Art und Weise, wie die Dinge ausgesprochen sind, unmittelbar eine Wiedergabe ist des Schauens selber, sondern es ist umgesetzt in die gewöhnliche Sprache und muss umgesetzt werden in die gewöhnliche Sprache. Denn dasjenige, was unmittelbar dem Geistesforscher sich darbietet, ist zwar dasselbe, was er in Worte, in Begriffe, in Vorstellungen fasst, aber es tritt in bildhafter Weise auf. Daher kann man auch sagen: Das Bewusstsein ist nicht das gewöhnliche logische, das rationelle, sondern es ist ein imaginatives, das da zunächst auftritt. — Viele Eigenschaften des schauenden Bewusstseins könnte ich noch hervorholen.
