I would like to say: The soul being is inwardly illuminated in terms of knowledge when we can add to what we have in ordinary soul life only as a reflection of sensory knowledge, in this way, supersensible knowledge. In ordinary life we carry the immortal soul within us, but this immortal soul is only filled with what it receives from external impressions. Even our memories are ultimately only reminiscences of external impressions, even when these external impressions have been taken up and transformed by the will and the mind. And even what ordinary mysticism often mistakes for a revelation proves to be only a reflection of the external physical-sensual existence for an unbiased knowledge. Man bears within himself the immortal, but he must first become conscious of the deeper reasons for this nature of his own in supersensible beholding, by transforming his whole cognitive faculty.","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":207,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-26/p041","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.

Ich möchte sagen: Das Seelenwesen wird innerlich erkenntnismäßig durchleuchtet, wenn wir zu dem, was wir im gewöhnlichen Seelenleben nur als ein Spiegelbild der sinnlichen Erkenntnis haben, hinzufügen können in dieser Weise die übersinnliche Erkenntnis. Wir tragen zwar im gewöhnlichen Leben die unsterbliche Seele in uns, allein diese unsterbliche Seele ist ja nur ausgefüllt mit dem, was sie von den äußeren Eindrücken bekommt. Auch unsere Erinnerungen sind zuletzt nur Reminiszenzen an die äußeren Eindrücke, wenn auch diese äußeren Eindrücke in Willen und Gemüt aufgenommen und verwandelt worden sind. Und auch das, was eine gewöhnliche Mystik oft für eine Offenbarung hält, erweist sich für eine unbefangene Erkenntnis doch nur als Widerspiegelung des äußeren physisch-sinnlichen Daseins. Der Mensch trägt in sich das Unsterbliche, aber er muss sich erst der tieferen Gründe dieses seines eigenen Wesens im übersinnlichen Schauen bewusst werden, indem er sein ganzes Erkenntnisvermögen verwandelt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":196,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-01-26/p041"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-01-26/p041"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":196,"en_words":207,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9357,"original_word_count":8959,"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/SOL2024/19220126p01.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.
