However, in our ordinary consciousness we are given the opportunity to have such intuitions in our moral life. They are contained in what our conscience offers us. With regard to the knowledge of the supersensible world, to which the human soul with its supersensible part belongs, intuitive knowledge must first be sought after one has gone through imaginative and inspired knowledge. Inspired knowledge first offers the objective, the entry into an alien world. Intuitive knowledge is the complete surrender to the objective spiritual world. One only gets to know the latter objectivity sufficiently when one first admits that imaginative knowledge only leads into one's own subjective world. And when one gets to know a spiritual world in this way, then everything that is there as a sensual world is also revealed in the form of the spiritual. That is to say, one remains completely on the ground of natural science for the field of nature. One does not speak or fantasize about all kinds of spiritual, nebulous entities in nature. One ascends through real knowledge to that which is seen as spiritual entities when the objectively observed sensual things and entities metamorphose before the spiritual gaze in the way that I can only hint at for you today in a few cases.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-01-23","location":null,"word_count":232,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-23/p031","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.

Allerdings, für das moralische Leben ist es uns im gewöhnlichen Bewusstsein gegeben, solche Intuitionen zu haben. Sie sind geborgen in dem, was unser Gewissen uns darbietet. In Bezug auf die Erkenntnis der übersinnlichen Welt, der die Menschenseele mit ihrem übersinnlichen Teil angehört, muss die intuitive Erkenntnis erst gesucht werden, nachdem man durchgegangen [ist] durch imaginative, durch inspirierte Erkenntnis. Die inspirierte Erkenntnis bietet erst das Objektive, das Eintreten in eine fremde Welt. Die intuitive Erkenntnis ist die völlige Hingabe an die objektive geistige Welt. Man lernt die letztere Objektivität nur genügend kennen, wenn man erst zugibt, dass die imaginative Erkenntnis einen nur in das eigene Subjektive des Menschen hineinführt. Und lernt man auf diese Weise eine geistige Welt kennen, dann enthüllt sich auch alles dasjenige, was als sinnliche Welt da ist, in der Form des Geistigen. Das heißt, man bleibt für das Gebiet der Natur vollständig auf dem Boden der Naturwissenschaft stehen. Man redet und phantasiert nicht von allerlei Geistigem, von allerlei nebulosen Wesenhaftigkeiten in der Natur. Man steigt auf durch eine wirkliche Erkenntnis zu demjenigen, was als geistige Wesenheiten erschaut wird, wenn sich die objektiv angesehenen sinnlichen Dinge und Wesenhaftigkeiten vor dem geistigen Blick metamorphosieren in der Art und Weise, wie ich es nur in ein paar Fällen Ihnen heute andeuten kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-01-23/p031"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-01-23/p031"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":232,"ratio":1.02,"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.
