It is not necessary to ascend to imagination, inspiration, and intuition oneself; it is only necessary to bring the thought life, which one already develops in ordinary science, vividly into the whole inner soul life, and from this living grasp of the thought, to follow what the spiritual researcher brings out of imagination, inspiration, and intuition. But, ladies and gentlemen, one must be determined to break away from dead thinking, which only arranges concepts in a linear fashion, just as the external sense world unfolds. This dead thinking proceeds in such a way that I form this concept from one piece of the external sense world, then I stick it to the concept that I gain from the other piece of the sense world, and so on. Only those who adhere to this method of gluing for a system of concepts will say that, from the point of view of ordinary thinking, they cannot verify what is given in anthroposophy. But anyone who grasps that the human being really carries within himself, within himself experiences thinking as a living organism — it is only overshadowed, it is only overshadowed by an illusion —, anyone who grasps this thinking that is alive in life, can verify from this thinking everything that the spiritual researcher presents about man and the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Es ist nicht nötig, daß man selber zur Imagination, zur Inspiration, zur Intuition aufsteigt, es ist nur nötig, daß man das Gedankenleben, das man schon in der gewöhnlichen Wissenschaft entwickelt, lebendig hineinträgt in das ganze innere Seelenleben, und von diesem lebendigen Erfassen des Gedankens aus dasjenige verfolgt, was der Geistesforscher aus Imagination, Inspiration und Intuition heraus bringt. Aber das, meine sehr verehrten Anwesenden, muß man als einen Entschluß fassen, von dem toten Denken abzukommen, das nur Glied an Glied als Begriffe anordnet, so wie die äußere Sinneswelt verläuft. Dieses tote Denken verläuft so, daß ich an dem einen Stück äußerer Sinnenwelt bilde diesen Begriff, dann klebe ich ihn an an denjenigen Begriff, den ich an dem anderen Stück Sinneswelt gewinne und so weiter. Nur wer festhält an dieser Klebemethode für ein Begriffssystem, der wird sagen, er könne vom Standpunkte des gewöhnlichen Denkens aus nicht nachprüfen, was in der Anthroposophie gegeben ist. Wer aber erfaßt, daß der Mensch in sich wirklich trägt, in sich erlebt das Denken als einen lebendigen Organismus — es ist nur überschattet, es ist nur durch eine Illusion überschattet —, wer erfaßt dieses im lebendigen Leben stehende Denken, der kann aus diesem Denken heraus alles nachprüfen, was der Geistesforscher über Mensch und Welt hinstellt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-24/p031"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-24/p031"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":242,"ratio":1.07,"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.
