In everyday life, you perceive your surroundings as you know them. It may happen that through the change in the life of the senses, what is perceived in the environment is what otherwise eludes the senses. It will be what is not accessible to man through the higher spiritual life. But I will explain right away, perhaps better than by generalizing, what I mean by the example from before, by way of an example of what I mean by a somnambular life, by a refined sense life. What is otherwise understood as second sight falls under this category; I must say: it is remarkable, although Sir Oliver Lodge's book has a thoroughly scientific character, that a certain hidden dilettantism can generally be found in this book in particular. The phenomenon, which is presented as a cross experiment, is in fact nothing other than what anyone familiar with this field knows as a refinement of the sense life, so that this sense life is able to perceive things other than what is usually associated with it. If someone whose sensory life and sensory life interwoven with the intellectual life is such that the intellectual apparatus extends down into the senses, if someone has developed such a sensory life, it may happen that today he has the idea: I will ride in a fortnight and have an accident. That can happen. These things are known.","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":280,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-02-18/p069","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.

Im gewöhnlichen Leben nimmt man so die Umgebung wahr, wie Sie sie kennen. Es kann eintreten, dass durch Veränderung des Sinneslebens das in der Umgebung wahrgenommen wird, was sich sonst den Sinnen entzieht. Es wird das sein, was nicht durch das höhere geistige Leben dem Menschen zugänglich ist. Ich will aber gleich an dem Beispiel von vorhin, vielleicht besser als durch allgemeines Aussprechen, das erläutern, was ich meine als somnambules Leben, als verfeinertes Sinnesleben. Was sonst als zweites Gesicht aufgefasst wird, fällt unter diese Kategorie; ich muss sagen: Es ist doch erstaunlich, obwohl das Buch von Sir Oliver Lodge einen durchaus wissenschaftlichen Charakter trägt, dass ein gewisser verborgener Dilettantismus im Allgemeinen gerade in diesem Buche zu finden ist. Die Erscheinung, die wie ein Kreuzexperiment angeführt ist, ist nämlich doch nichts anderes als das, was der, der bekannt ist mit diesem Gebiet, kennt als eine Verfeinerung des Sinneslebens, sodass dieses Sinnesleben eben anderes wahrzunehmen vermag, als sonst mit ihm verknüpft ist. Wenn irgendjemand, dessen Sinnesleben und das von dem Verstandesleben durchzogene Sinnesleben dann so verläuft, dass der Verstandesapparat bis in die Sinne hinunterreicht, wer solch ein Sinnesleben ausgebildet hat, bei dem kann es vorkommen, dass er heute die Vorstellung hat: Ich werde in vierzehn Tagen reiten und ein Unglück haben.
