The first step is to exclude everything that could come from, let us say, the barrel organ that one heard decades ago. Everything that may arise in our consciousness in this way, through reminiscences, through memory reflexes, however hidden, must be excluded if one wants to enter the path into the spiritual world. Therefore, it is necessary to place something in the consciousness that does not come through the free play of ideas, but that comes into consciousness in the way it otherwise enters consciousness when we say: some idea, which also flows from our organization, is wrong or right. Just as thinking that is truly self-reliant and concerned with right or wrong enters into the life of the soul with its own content, so anyone who wants to become a spiritual researcher must attune their consciousness to such content that cannot deceive because it is comprehensible.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Supernatural Man and the Questions of Free Will and Immortality Based on the Results of Spiritual Science","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-05-01","location":null,"word_count":164,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-01/p030","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/SOL2024/19180501p01.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.

Da handelt es sich zunächst darum, dass man wirklich ausschließt alles das, was kommen kann, nun, sagen wir — Sie werden schon verstehen, was ich meine -, von der Drehorgel, die man vor Jahrzehnten gehört hat. Alles, was in dieser Weise durch Reminiszenzen, durch vielleicht noch so verborgene Erinnerungsreflexe in unserem Bewusstsein auftauchen kann, das muss ausgeschlossen sein, wenn man den Weg in die geistige Welt hineingehen will. Daher hat man notwendig, etwas in das Bewusstsein hineinzustellen, das nicht durch das freie Spiel der Vorstellungen kommt, sondern das so kommt in das Bewusstsein, wie es sich sonst hereinstellt in das Bewusstsein, wenn wir sagen: Irgendeine Vorstellung, die auch aus unserer Organisation fließt, ist falsch oder richtig. Wie das wirklich auf sich gestellte, nach Richtigkeit oder Unrichtigkeit gehende Denken hereinstellt in das Seelenleben seine Inhalte, so muss derjenige, der Geistesforscher werden will, sein Bewusstsein einstellen mit solchen Inhalten, die nicht trügen können, weil sie überschaubar sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":173,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-05-01/p030"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-05-01/p030"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":173,"en_words":164,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8631,"original_word_count":8382,"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/SOL2024/19180501p01.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.
