This volition in the spiritual world becomes transparent, and we then look at the thinking of ordinary consciousness by learning to recognize the invigorating thinking that builds up the human being and works in from a spiritual world, by taking over what the human being receives through birth from the forces of heredity. What the human being receives in this way as growth forces can be applied as observing forces in observation and in experiment, while the physical experiment must turn to the dying forces. Thus we see birth and death continually at work in human nature. And by seeing death not only in that one moment of human life, but by seeing it spread in its individual [basic elements] over the whole of earthly existence, we confront it with what constantly fights this death and what, when we see through it, shows how the human being lives in an eternal existence that passes through birth and death unchanging, imperishable, one might say.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Anthroposophy and the Riddles of the Soul","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-01-26","location":null,"word_count":221,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-26/p040","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/SOL2024/19220126p01.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.

Dieses Wollen in der geistigen Welt wird durchsichtig, und wir schauen dann auf das Denken des gewöhnlichen Bewusstseins, indem wir erkennen lernen das erkraftende Denken, das den Menschen aufbaut und hereinwirkt aus einer geistigen Welt, indem es übernimmt, was der Mensch durch die Vererbungskräfte durch die Geburt erhält. Was der Mensch auf diese Weise als Wachstumskräfte erhält, das kann angewendet werden als anschauende Kräfte in der Beobachtung und im Experiment, während sich das physische Experiment an die Sterbekräfte wenden muss. So sehen wir Geborenwerden und Sterben fortwährend wirksam in der menschlichen Natur.
