Anthroposophy must point out that, as a result of its research, human consciousness can be opened to an understanding of what lives in the human being, which — I would like to say — only appears to be so diluted that it emerges as our ordinary life of imagination, but which, in truth, is the inner sphere of growth of our existence. And on the other hand, when a person loses their center of gravity in their mental life and gets caught up in a fearful undercurrent of their soul life, they can absorb the results of spiritual science anthroposophy about the mental life and can maintain this mental life through the path of knowledge. Anthroposophy does not offer a solution to this soul riddle by putting forward a theory, but by putting forward a result that the human being can fully grasp with his or her common sense and that then — by lending heaviness — occurs in the life of ideas for his consciousness, for his soul life, so that into the soul mood, into the soul condition, solving riddles can flow that which Anthroposophy seemingly asserts as mere knowledge of the life of ideas. On the one hand, we recognize how the human being is a formed being, how he appears as a whole in a certain form, how his individual organs are formed out of the spirit and how we, in order to be free beings, can act not only through these inner forces but can also surrender to free mirror images, how we can develop our mere pictorial representations into a plastic form.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Anthroposophy and the Riddle of the Soul","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-01-17","location":null,"word_count":332,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-17/p028","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080a/English/SOL2024/19220117p01.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.

Indem Anthroposophie hinweisen muss darauf, dass aus ihrer Forschung heraus dasjenige in das menschliche Bewusstsein hereinkommen kann, durch das menschliches Bewusstsein begriffen werden kann, was im Menschen lebt, was — ich möchte sagen - nur zum Schein sich so weit verdünnt, dass es als unser gewöhnliches Vorstellungsleben herauskommt, was aber seiner Wahrheit nach die innere Wachstumssphäre unseres Daseins ist. Und indem der Mensch auf der anderen Seite im Vorstellungsleben — ich möchte sagen — das Schwergewicht verliert und in eine ängstliche Unterströmung dieses Seelenlebens hineingerät, kann er aufnehmen die Ergebnisse der geisteswissenschaftlichen Anthroposophie über das Vorstellungsleben und kann dieses Vorstellungsleben auf dem Erkenntniswege befestigt erhalten. Die Lösung dieses Seelenrätsels bietet Anthroposophie nicht, indem sie eine Theorie hinstellt, sondern indem sie dem Menschen ein Ergebnis hinstellt, das er mit seinem gesunden Menschenverstand durchaus begreifen kann und das dann — wie Schwere verleihend — im Vorstellungsleben für sein Bewusstsein, für sein Seelenleben auftritt, sodass in die Seelenstimmung, in die Seelenverfassung hinein Rätsel lösend strömen kann dasjenige, was Anthroposophie scheinbar als bloße Erkenntnis über das Vorstellungsleben geltend zu machen vermag. Man erkennt eben durchaus da auf der einen Seite, wie der Mensch ein gestaltetes Wesen ist, wie er als Ganzes in einer bestimmten Gestalt auftritt, wie seine einzelnen Organe gestaltet sind aus dem Geiste heraus und wie wir, damit wir ein freies Wesen sein können, damit wir nicht gezwungen durch diese innerlichen Kräfte nur handeln können, sondern uns freien Spiegelbildern hingeben können, wie wir bis zu einem plastisch Gestalteten unsere bloß bildhaften Vorstellungen hin entwickeln.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":314,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-01-17/p028"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-01-17/p028"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":314,"en_words":332,"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":10325,"original_word_count":9735,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080a/English/SOL2024/19220117p01.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.
