He is simply following an inner necessity, an inner compulsion. Someone who lives in fantasy creates images from his soul. He is more or less aware of how he creates these images. And if he is a healthy person and not a lunatic, then he knows that he lives in an unreal fantasy world. What one produces in the imaginative consciousness, one knows – because the ordinary, normal consciousness, the consciousness that experiences itself in freedom, remains present – that in the imaginative consciousness one forms the images oneself, just as in mathematics one forms the formula oneself, through which one comprehends reality. But one also knows that when one enters into the spiritual world, one grasps a spiritual world through these images. So one can see that as human beings with ordinary external consciousness, we can grasp this process. In our ordinary lives and in ordinary science, we have the opportunity to gain freedom – and that is because, with mere pictorial imagining, which is not in reality, one must say: I think, therefore I am not – cogito ergo non sum. If one develops one's freedom with this thinking and then looks back into the spiritual world, one looks back into a world in which the same necessity reigns that one first encountered in the external world. In the external world, one starts from the necessity of facts. One advances into a thinking in which, so to speak, freedom repels the certainty of inner thinking.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Er folgt nur einer inneren Notwendigkeit, einer inneren Nötigung. Wer in der Phantasie lebt, erzeugt aus seiner Seele heraus Bilder. Er ist sich mehr oder weniger bewußt, wie er diese Bilder erzeugt. Und wenn er ein gesund veranlagter Mensch ist und kein Wahnsinniger, dann weiß er, daß er in einer unwirklichen Phantasiewelt lebt. Was man im imaginativen Bewußtsein erzeugt, von dem weiß man - weil das gewöhnliche, normale Bewußtsein, das Bewußtsein, das sich in Freiheit erlebt, vorhanden bleibt -, daß man im imaginativen Bewußtsein die Bilder selber gestaltet, wie man in der Mathematik die Formel selber gestaltet, durch die man die Wirklichkeit begreift. Aber man weiß auch, daß man, wenn man hineinkommt in die geistige Welt, durch diese Bilder eine geistige Welt ergreift. Man sieht also, daß man als Mensch mit dem gewöhnlichen äußeren Bewußtsein diesen Vorgang begreifen kann. Wir haben in dem gewöhnlichen Leben und in der gewöhnlichen Wissenschaft die Möglichkeit, uns die Freiheit zu erringen - und das, weil man sich ja mit dem bloß bildlichen Vorstellen, das nicht in der Realität ist, sagen muß: Ich denke, also bin ich nicht - cogito ergo non sum. Wenn man mit diesem Denken seine Freiheit ausbildet und wiederum zurückblickt in die geistige Welt, so blickt man zurück in eine Welt, in der jene Notwendigkeit herrscht, die man zuerst an der Außenwelt kennengelernt hat. In der Außenwelt geht man von der Notwendigkeit der Tatsachen aus. Man rückt auf in ein Denken, wo gewissermaßen die Freiheit zurückstößt die Sicherheit des inneren Denkens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":264,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1921-06-04_02/p035"}],"english":["GA 75/1921-06-04_02/p035"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":264,"en_words":260,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9053,"original_word_count":8874,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Relationship between Anthroposophy and the Natural Sciences","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA075/English/SOL2024/19210604a01.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.
