This is also a prerequisite for history to provide a real basis for life. It must become so, because only in this way does history flow into our lives, the historical view flows into us. We see what really was through a real historical perspective, even if it is initially as inadequate as I have described it. One can grasp the spirit only by plunging into its depths, by seizing with clear light that which otherwise remains in the subconscious; otherwise one does not touch anything with the theory, as it is imitated by the natural-historical approach; with theory one does not penetrate into real life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The History of Mankind in the Light of Supersensible Reality Research","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-05-29","location":null,"word_count":157,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-29/p040","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/SOL2024/19180529p01.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.

Das ist auch als Voraussetzung gegeben, damit die Geschichte eine wirkliche Grundlage für das Leben abgibt. Das muss so werden, denn nur so fließt die Geschichte in unser Leben hinein, es fließt die geschichtliche Anschauung in uns hinein. Wir sehen dasjenige, was wirklich war, durch eine wirkliche geschichtliche Betrachtungsweise, wenn sie auch zunächst so mangelhaft ist, wie ich es geschildert habe. Man kann nur so den Geist erfassen, indem man in seine Tiefen untertaucht, wenn man dasjenige, was sonst im Unterbewusstsein bleibt, im hellen Lichte ergreift, sonst trifft man nichts mit der Theorie, wie sie der naturgeschichtlichen Betrachtungsweise nachgeahmt ist; mit der Theorie dringt man nicht hinein in das wirkliche Leben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":152,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-05-29/p040"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-05-29/p040"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":152,"en_words":157,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8851,"original_word_count":8620,"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/SOL2024/19180529p01.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.
