He had himself photographed with a number of comrades. The medium stated that it was said through her that this photograph was taken. The individual comrades were described in the seating arrangement, and it was said: several pictures were taken of this group. The seating arrangement was changed a little; but in one shot, it was said: the way the son places his hand on his neighbor's shoulder is different from the hand position in the other shot. Now the strange thing was that exactly this photograph was described by the medium. The other strange thing was that, scientifically speaking, no one – neither the medium nor any of the participants – could have known anything about this photograph, because it had not yet been sent from France to England and did not arrive in England until at least a fortnight later. No one could have known anything about it, yet it turned out that the medium's description was absolutely correct in the most remarkable way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Revelations of the Unconscious in the Life of the Soul from the Spiritual-scientific Point of View","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-02-18","location":null,"word_count":187,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-02-18/p034","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/SOL2024/19180218p01.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.

Es wurde beschrieben, wie die einzelnen Kameraden in der Sitzordnung angeordnet sind, es wurde gesagt: Von dieser Gruppe wurden mehrere Aufnahmen gemacht. Es wurde weniges an der Sitzordnung verändert; aber bei einer Aufnahme wurde gesagt: Die Art, wie der Sohn die Hand auf die Schulter des Nachbarn legt, ist eine andere als die Handlage bei der anderen Aufnahme. Nun war das Eigentümliche, dass genau diese Fotografie beschrieben war durch das Medium. Das andere Eigentümliche war, dass von dieser Fotografie naturwissenschaftlich nachweislich niemand, weder das Medium noch ein Teilnehmer, irgendetwas gewusst hat; denn die Fotografie war noch nicht nach England von Frankreich geschickt, sie kam erst mindestens vierzehn Tage später in England selber an. Niemand konnte etwas wissen von ihr; dennoch, in der frappierendsten Weise stellte sich heraus, dass die Beschreibung durch das Medium absolut stimmte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":187,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-02-18/p034"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-02-18/p034"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":187,"en_words":187,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11552,"original_word_count":11169,"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/SOL2024/19180218p01.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.
