It is truly not the result of arbitrary assertions or vague beliefs when the spiritual researcher says: That which is spiritual-soul in man is not bound to the physical organization, but to the physical disorganization, thus to that which must give way so that the spiritual-soul can arise. It is therefore no wonder that one can follow the spiritual-mental processes in the nervous organs, for to the same extent that any spiritual-mental process occurs, it must displace the corresponding physical organization, which even manifests itself as a physical breakdown. And we will only then arrive at a real connection between the spiritual-soul and physical-bodily processes when we no longer seek the physical-bodily processes as corresponding to the soul processes, but understand them as processes of disorganization, of dissolution, of secretion. If we follow these traces of the physical-bodily excretory processes, we have the true correlate of the mental-spiritual processes; and it is precisely this that guarantees their special individuality and independence in a truly scientific way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Es geschieht wirklich nicht aus willkürlichen Behauptungen oder vagem Glauben heraus, wenn der Geistesforscher sagt: Dasjenige, was geistig-seelisch ist im Menschen, das ist nicht gebunden an die physische Organisation, sondern an die physische Desorganisation, also an das, was Platz machen muß, damit das Geistig-Seelische auftreten kann. Kein Wunder ist es daher, daß man in den nervösen Organen die geistigseelischen Prozesse verfolgen kann, denn in demselben Maße, in dem irgendein geistig-seelischer Prozeß auftritt, muß er die entsprechende physische Organisation verdrängen, was sich sogar als ein physischer Abbau geltend macht. Und man wird erst dann zu einem wirklichen Zusammenhang zwischen den geistig-seelischen und den physisch-leiblichen Prozessen gelangen, wenn man nicht mehr sucht die physisch-leiblichen Prozesse als den seelischen Prozessen entsprechend, sondern sie versteht als Prozesse der Desorganisation, der Auflösung, der Aussonderung. Wenn man diese Spuren der physisch-leiblichen Aussonderungsprozesse verfolgt, dann hat man das wahre Korrelat für die geistig-seelischen Prozesse; und gerade damit wird ihre besondere Eigentümlichkeit und Selbständigkeit in wirklich wissenschaftlicher Art garantiert.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":205,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/73a/1921-01-14/p021"}],"english":["GA 73a/1921-01-14/p021"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":205,"en_words":212,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7905,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Scientific Disciplines and Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA073a/English/SOL2024/19210114p01.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.
