But through this one attains living knowledge, living insight, which, as I have already indicated, is spiritual nourishment. Thus knowledge, as it is presented by anthroposophy, becomes a real inner support for the soul in the element where life is faltering. Security, sustenance and orientation in life can be found by seeking the spiritual nourishment that comes from anthroposophy. It is something that secretly makes us rejoice, that we could lose ourselves in, and it brings us back to ourselves, transforming it into inner support, giving our inner balance an inner center of gravity. And in the difficult moments of life, too, when we are often in danger of sinking in misfortune; we can find support in a mood of the soul that is inwardly sustained by the full awareness of the spirituality that fills the human being, where we become fully aware of that the life of thought is not in vain, that it can find reality in the power of the soul and the world, which gives plastic form. This gives support in the difficult moments of life, it places life on a firm foundation and leads in the right way to the end of life.","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":227,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-17/p062","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.

Dasjenige, was uns heimlich jauchzen machen will, in dem wir uns verlieren könnten, da bringt uns Anthroposophie zu uns selbst zurück, indem sie das verwandelt in inneren Halt, indem sie unserem innerlichen Gleichgewicht einen inneren Schwerpunkt verleiht. Und ebenso in den schweren Augenblicken des Lebens, wo wir im Unglücke zu versinken oftmals drohen; wir können uns einen Halt verschaffen durch eine Seelenstimmung, die innerlich getragen wird von dem Vollbewusstsein der den Menschen erfüllenden Geistigkeit, wo wir vollbewusst werden von dem, dass das Gedankenleben kein nichtiges ist, dass es die Realität finden kann in der plastisch gestaltenden Welt- und Seelenkraft, dass der Wille dasjenige ist, was diese plastische Ausgestaltung der Seelenkraft immer wiederum zum Geiste zurückbringt.
