Another strange thing is present, an unconscious inspiration, I said, on the one hand, which brings itself into the human organization in that this organization is in regression in relation to the human head. The reverse is the case with the human organization in relation to the human limb structure. Again, a very careful study of the purely scientific facts would confirm what I am about to say. Just as the head is in a state of regression, the organization of the extremities in humans is in a state of overdevelopment, goes further than normal development, exceeds the point of normal development, goes beyond it. The person who is only able to properly and physiologically observe arms, hands, legs, feet with their appendages anatomically-plastically towards the inside of the organism knows that the human organization goes beyond itself, that the is not just a regression, not even just normal, but leaps beyond the point of normality, so that more comes to light in this development than what is included in the trunk organization within the limits of normal development. Seen spiritually, this presents itself in such a way that for this observation, which I have just characterized, what is connected with the limb organization presents itself as recognizable and accessible only to the imaginative life. Imaginative life and imaginative knowledge are confronted with something when we look into the human organization of the extremities with a truly clear and insightful consciousness. We encounter something that the human being has within them that can fall between birth and death. They can have more within them because their extremities are, in a sense, super-organized.","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":284,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-01/p058","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.

Ein anderes Merkwürdiges liegt vor, eine unbewusste Inspiration, sagte ich, auf der einen Seite, die sich hereinbringt in die menschliche Organisation dadurch, dass diese Organisation in Bezug auf das menschliche Haupt in Rückentwicklung begriffen ist. Umgekehrt ist es mit der menschlichen Organisation in Bezug auf den menschlichen Extremitätenbau. Wiederum würde eine ganz innerliche Verfolgung der rein naturwissenschaftlichen Tatsachen das erhärten, was ich jetzt zu sagen habe. So, wie das Haupt in Rückbildung begriffen ist, so ist die Extremitätenorganisation beim Menschen in Überentwicklung begriffen, geht weiter als die normale Entwicklung ist, überschreitet den Punkt der normalen Entwicklung, geht darüber hinaus. Derjenige, der nur anatomisch-plastisch Arme, Hände, Beine, Füße mit ihren Fortsätzen nach dem Innern des Organismus richtig physiologisch zu betrachten vermag, der weiß, dass die menschliche Organisation über sich hinausschreitet, dass da das Organische nicht rückgebildet, nicht einmal nur normal ist, sondern den Punkt des Normalen überspringt, sodass mehr in dieser Entwicklung zutage tritt als dasjenige, was in der Rumpforganisation in den Grenzen der normalen Entwicklung eingeschlossen ist. Das stellt sich dar, geistig betrachtet, so, dass für diese Betrachtung, die ich eben charakterisiert habe, dasjenige, was mit der Extremitätenorganisation verknüpft ist, sich zeigt als nur dem imaginativen Leben erkennbar, erreichbar. Imaginatives Leben, imaginatives Erkennen bekommt etwas vor die Seele - indem hineingeschaut wird sinnig in schauendem, in wirklich hellsichtigem Bewusstsein auf dasjenige, was die menschliche Organisation in den Extremitäten darbietet —, bekommt etwas, was der Mensch mehr in sich hat, als was zwischen Geburt und Tod hineinfallen kann. Mehr kann er in sich haben, weil seine Extremitäten in gewisser Weise überorganisiert sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-05-01/p058"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-05-01/p058"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":274,"en_words":284,"ratio":1.04,"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.
