People spoke of a threshold that must be crossed if one wants to penetrate into the real soul life, and they spoke of how one can speak of crossing this threshold through an intuitive consciousness. But there were also very characteristic ways of speaking about how this knowledge of the supersensible is a healing process. The human striving for health in intimate community was found to be connected with this permeation with supersensible knowledge. Now, in relation to the soul life and its riddles, one will learn again that a process of healing is indeed taking place through the fulfillment with supersensible knowledge. To understand this, one does not need to be a psychologist oneself, just as one does not need to be a painter oneself to appreciate a picture. Just as one will be able to appreciate a picture if one has been raised healthily, so will the one who has been educated correctly in terms of common sense be able to understand what the anthroposophist says and judge whether it is healthy or unhealthy for a person. One can verify through common sense what the anthroposophist claims, and one will feel nothing in it, by taking it in, other than something that connects with the whole soul of man in a healing way, which above all supplies man with the forces that give him moral and social support and lead him to what can give moral impulses from the spiritual world.","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":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-26/p047","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.

Man hat gesprochen von einer Schwelle, die zu überschreiten ist, wenn man in das wirkliche Seelenleben eindringen will, und hat davon gesprochen, wie man durch ein ahnendes Bewusstsein von dem Überschreiten dieser Schwelle reden kann. Aber man hat auch in sehr charakteristischer Weise davon gesprochen, wie diese Erkenntnis nach dem Übersinnlichen ein Heilungsprozess ist. Man hat menschliches Gesundheitsstreben in inniger Gemeinschaft gefunden mit diesem Durchdrungenwerden mit übersinnlichen Erkenntnissen. Nun, in Bezug auf das Seelenleben und seine Rätsel wird man wieder lernen, dass durch das Sich-Erfüllen mit übersinnlichen Erkenntnissen in der Tat ein Gesundungsprozess gegeben ist. Um dies einzusehen, braucht man nicht selber Seelenforscher zu sein, so wie man auch nicht selber Maler zu sein braucht, um ein Bild zu würdigen. Sondern wie man ein Bild wird würdigen können, wenn man nur gesund erzogen ist, so wird der, der in Bezug auf seinen gesunden Menschenverstand nur richtig erzogen worden ist, auch einsehen können, was der Anthroposoph sagt, und beurteilen, ob es für einen Menschen gesund oder ungesund ist. Man kann durch den gesunden Menschenverstand nachprüfen, was der Anthroposoph behauptet, und man wird darin, indem man es in sich aufnimmt, nichts anderes empfinden als etwas, was sich mit dem ganzen Seelensein des Menschen in gesundender Weise verbindet, was vor allem dem Menschen diejenigen Kräfte zuführt, die ihm in moralischer und sozialer Beziehung Halt geben und ihn hinführen zu dem, was aus der geistigen Welt heraus moralische Impulse geben kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":268,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-01-26/p047"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-01-26/p047"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":268,"en_words":274,"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":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.
