It acquires the same inner satiety that one otherwise has only when perceiving a sensual object. Thinking acquires pictorial quality. Thinking remains in the sphere of composure, just like any other thinking that is bound to the body, but in the body-free state it now acquires pictorial quality. One thinks in images. And this thinking in images was also present in its beginning in what Goethe had developed in his morphology. That is why he claims that he can see his ideas with his eyes. Of course, he did not mean the physical eyes, but what arose in him, so to speak, from an elementary natural process, but which can also be developed through meditation. By this he meant that he saw with the “spiritual” eye what was just as pictorial as otherwise only the physical perceptions, but which was thoroughly mental in its inner quality. I say “thought-like,” not thought, because it is a thought that has been further developed, a metamorphosed thought - it is thought-like.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Das Denken bleibt ebenso in der Sphäre der Besonnenheit wie nur irgendein Denken, das an den Leib gebunden ist, aber es erlangt im leibfreien Zustande jetzt Bildhaftigkeit. Man denkt in Gebilden. Und dieses Denken in Gebilden, das war auch in seinem Anfang vorhanden in dem, was Goethe in seiner Morphologie ausgebildet hatte. Deshalb behauptet er, er könne seine Ideen mit Augen sehen. Er meinte natürlich nicht die sinnlichen Augen, sondern das, was bei ihm sozusagen aus einem elementar-natürlichen Prozeß entstand, was aber eben auch ausgebildet werden kann auf dem meditativen Wege. Er meinte damit, daß er mit dem «geistigen» Auge das schaut, was ebenso bildhaft ist wie sonst nur die sinnlichen Anschauungen, was aber durchaus seiner inneren Qualität nach gedankenhaft ist.
