A person who wants to judge a painted picture in terms of beauty and artistic value does not need to be a painter himself. Man's organization is directed towards truth and beauty. Even someone who is not a spiritual researcher and whose mind is not oriented towards illusions and error can test what the spiritual researcher says with his common sense. And even the spiritual researcher must first test what is revealed to him through his own common sense, just as the other person must do, because the higher vision provides him with a higher world, but not its reality. Just as we first test the dream through common sense, so we must first test the reality of what we see in higher worlds through our common sense. The one who acquires exact clairvoyance — not the old mystical clairvoyance — the one who acquires this modern clairvoyance, finds his way into the spiritual world by means of paths that are entirely appropriate for today's human being, and what he explores there can be thoroughly examined with common sense in the manner indicated.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Anthroposophy and Knowledge of the Spirit","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-05-16","location":null,"word_count":200,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-05-16/p043","alignment_confidence":"medium","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/SOL2024/19220516p01.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.

Derjenige, der ein Bild, das gemalt ist, beurteilen will nach Schönheit, nach künstlerischem Wert, er braucht nicht selber ein Maler zu sein. Des Menschen Organisation ist auf Wahrheit und Schönheit hin gerichtet. Auch derjenige, der kein Geistesforscher ist, und dessen Verstand nicht auf Illusionen und Irrtum hinorientiert ist, er kann durch seinen gesunden Menschenverstand dasjenige, was der Geistesforscher sagt, prüfen. Und auch der Geistesforscher, er muss dasjenige, was sich ihm offenbart, er muss das erst durch seinen gesunden Menschenverstand prüfen, er muss ihn ebenso anwenden wie der andere, denn das höhere Schauen liefert ihm eine höhere Welt, aber nicht deren Wirklichkeit. Wie wir den Traum erst durch den gesunden Menschenverstand prüfen, so müssen wir erst den Wirklichkeitsgehalt dessen, was wir anschauen in höheren Welten, durch den Menschenverstand prüfen. Derjenige, der sich das exakte Hellsehen aneignet — nicht das alte mystische Hellsehen —, derjenige, der sich aneignet dieses moderne Hellsehen, der findet sich hinein in die geistige Welt auf denjenigen Wegen, die dem heutigen Menschen durchaus angemessen sind, und dasjenige, was er da erkundet, das kann mit dem gesunden Menschenverstande in der angedeuteten Weise durchaus geprüft werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":204,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-05-16/p043"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-05-16/p043"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":204,"en_words":200,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9395,"original_word_count":9183,"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/SOL2024/19220516p01.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.
