Then the I-experience arises again. But it now appears in a completely transformed form, it now appears before the fully collected soul, before the soul that is as collected as one can only be in the solution of some mathematical problem. The experience of the I emerges from the world of ethereal images, but it emerges in such a way that we see it, so to speak, not as something that dwells in our physical corporeality, but as emerging from the cosmic etheric world, to the contemplation of which we have risen. One would like to say: While otherwise our ego, when it emerges, experiences and is viewed as if it came from the physical body, as if it came from a human center, we now experience it as if our ego radiates from the indeterminate periphery of the universe, as if it wants to converge in a center instead of diverging. And we notice: the world in which we are now placed with full inner reflection, with full inner power of knowledge, the world we actually only dream of in our ordinary life between birth and death when we apply a force that cannot initially be a force of knowledge, when we apply the power of feeling.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Aber es tritt auf jetzt in einer völlig verwandelten Gestalt, es tritt jetzt auf vor der vollbesonnenen Seele, vor der Seele, die so besonnen ist, wie man nur in der Lösung irgendeines mathematischen Problems besonnen sein kann. Es tritt das Ich-Erlebnis heraus aus der ätherischen Bilderwelt, aber es tritt so heraus, daß wir es gewissermaßen nicht erblicken als etwas, was unserer physischen Körperlichkeit innewohnt, sondern daß wir es erblicken als hervorgehend aus der kosmischen Ätherwelt, bis zu deren Anschauung wir uns aufgeschwungen haben. Man möchte sagen: Während sonst unser Ich, wenn es heraustritt, so erlebt, so angeschaut wird, wie wenn es aus dem physischen Leibe käme, wie wenn es also aus einem menschlichen Zentrum herauskäme, erleben wir es jetzt, wie, ich möchte sagen, aus der unbestimmten Peripherie des Weltenalls unser Ich herunterstrahlt, wie es in einem Zentrum zusammenlaufen will, statt auseinanderzulaufen. Und wir merken: Von der Welt, in die wir jetzt versetzt sind mit voller innerer Besonnenheit, mit voller innerer Erkenntniskraft, von der Welt träumen wir eigentlich im gewöhnlichen Leben zwischen Geburt und Tod nur dann, wenn wir eine Kraft anwenden, die zunächst keine Erkenntniskraft sein kann, wenn wir die Kraft des Fühlens anwenden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":294,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-24/p022"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-24/p022"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":294,"en_words":313,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6644,"original_word_count":6275,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Art and Anthroposophy The Goetheanum Impulse: Summer Art Course 1921","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA077b/English/SOL2024/19210824p01.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.
