For the thoughts that he forms in imaginative, inspired and intuitive life can be tested for accuracy by their very nature and essence when you hold them up to yourself. One must only not cling to the human prejudice, which in recent times has become all too strong, that a thought can only be verified if one can have an external sensual fact as proof. One must recognize that the thought itself, the same thought that is used in external science, has an inner life, that it can shape its inner organization. If one experiences only this inner self-fashioning of the power of thought, if one experiences it in a way that Hegel in his time could not yet experience — hence he only unravelled abstract thoughts in his philosophy — if one experiences this living movement of the thought, which I first tried to present in its form in my “Philosophy of Freedom”, then one can really examine every single thought that the spiritual researcher expresses. Those who do not undertake this examination will generally do so because they feel compelled to do so out of an inadequate will: 'I do not follow what you are thinking there, because what I know so far gives me no reason to do so.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Man muß nur nicht an dem menschlichen Vorurteil, das ja in der neueren Zeit nur allzustark heraufgezogen ist, kleben, daß ein geprüfter Gedanke nur derjenige ist, für den man eine äußere sinnliche Tatsache als Beweis haben kann. Man muß erkennen, daß der Gedanke selber, derselbe Gedanke, den man in der äußeren Wissenschaft braucht, ein inneres Leben hat, daß er seine innere Organisation gestalten kann. Erlebt man nur diese innere Selbstgestaltung der Gedankenkraft, erlebt man sie in einer Weise, wie sie Hegel zu seiner Zeit noch nicht erleben konnte — daher er nur abstrakte Gedanken in seiner Philosophie aufdröselte —, erlebt man dieses lebendige Bewegen des Gedankens, das ich zunächst in seiner Gestalt darzustellen versuchte in meiner «Philosophie der Freiheit», dann kann man jeden einzelnen Gedanken, den der Geistesforscher äußert, wirklich prüfen. Derjenige, der diese Prüfung nicht unternimmt, der wird das zumeist aus dem Grunde heraus tun, daß er sich aus einem mangelhaften Willen veranlaßt fühlt, zu sagen: Dasjenige, was du da denkst, dem folge ich nicht, denn dazu gibt mir dasjenige, was ich bisher weiß, keine Veranlassung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-24/p030"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-24/p030"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":224,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","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.
