It must be emphasized that this first stage allows one to experience one's own inner being more intensely, but that one must realize that one is not yet experiencing an external world, but only this human inner being. But we do achieve a first result when we explore the inner being through such a more intensive, pictorial, imaginative process of imagining. For we gradually learn to have before our soul, as in a comprehensive tableau of life, everything that has formed us, that has affected us inwardly, spiritually, from birth to the present moment. We normally carry what we have in our soul only in the form of ordinary memory. The stream from which memories of this or that experience arise, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, essentially runs subconsciously. We know how abstract it is, how shadowy it is compared to the real experiences when we are immersed in these memory images. These memory images should not be confused with what now occurs before imaginative knowledge. It is not mere memories that arise, but rather something that suggests how one has become. Yes, right back to the first years of childhood, one sees the inner forces that have developed the ordinary abilities of life in one. One sees how the moral and intellectual faculties have developed, how they have been integrated into the forces of growth and nutrition. One really looks into the human interior.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-01-23","location":null,"word_count":246,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-23/p017","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/SOL2024/19220123p01.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.

Man muss darauf aufmerksam machen, wie diese erste Stufe zwar erleben lässt ein intensiveres, eigenes Inneres des Menschen, wie aber der Mensch sich klar werden muss, dass er noch keine Außenwelt zunächst erlebt, sondern nur dieses menschliche Innere. Aber man erlangt schon ein erstes Ergebnis, wenn man das Innere erkraftet an einem solchen intensiveren, bildhaften, an einem solchen imaginativen Vorstellen. Denn man gelangt nach und nach dazu, wie in einem umfassenden Lebenstableau alles dasjenige vor der Seele stehen zu haben, was an einem gebildet hat, was an einem geschafft hat innerlich seelisch seit der Geburt bis zu dem gegenwärtigen Augenblick. Wir tragen das, was wir in der Seele innerlich haben, ja sonst nur in uns in der Form der gewöhnlichen Erinnerung. Die Strömung, aus der willkürlich oder unwillkürlich die Erinnerungen an dieses oder jenes Erlebnis auftauchen, diese Strömung verläuft im Wesentlichen unterbewusst. Wir wissen ja, wie abstrakt sie verläuft, wie abgeschattet gegenüber den wirklichen Erlebnissen, wenn wir drinnenstehen, diese Erinnerungsbilder sind. Mit diesen Erinnerungsbildern darf dasjenige nicht verwechselt werden, was jetzt vor der imaginativen Erkenntnis auftritt. Nicht etwa bloße Erinnerungen treten auf, sondern es tritt dasjenige auf, was einem andeutet, wie man geworden ist. Ja, bis in die ersten Jahre der Kindheit hinein sieht man innerliche Kräfte, die die gewöhnlichen Fähigkeiten des Lebens in einem entwickelt haben. Man sieht, wie sich die moralischen, die intellektuellen Fähigkeiten entwickelt haben, wie sie sich hineingegliedert haben in die Wachstums-, in die Ernährungskräfte. Man schaut wirklich in das menschliche Innere hinein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":257,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-01-23/p017"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-01-23/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":257,"en_words":246,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10817,"original_word_count":10371,"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/SOL2024/19220123p01.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.
