Just as in physical matters one must have the ability to look at a thing and then look away, otherwise one would not have a healthy soul life, so one must develop the ability, when one has inner vision, to have the images and then not to have them. One must become completely inwardly master of having these images. And by being able to alternate between the things that live in the soul and the completely empty state of the soul, by learning this alternation in the soul, one also learns to have an image and then to let the image disappear in the soul. Then one lives on. The image is gone, but one has the experience of the inner reality of things. One experiences the spiritual. You experience it through the power you have acquired, through the development of love. Just as you learn the spiritual anew through the development of your ability to love, so you learn to experience the spiritual through the increase, through the ever-increasing increase of the power of love.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Geradeso wie man in den physischen Angelegenheiten die Fähigkeit haben muss, wenn man ein Ding anschaut, wieder wegzuschauen, sonst würde man in keinem gesunden Seelenleben sein, so muss man die Fähigkeit entwickeln, wenn man das innere Schauen hat, die Bilder zu haben, und sie wiederum nicht zu haben. Man muss völlig innerlich Herr werden über dieses Haben der Bilder. Und indem man abwechseln kann zwischen den Dingen, die in der Seele leben, und dem völlig leeren Zustande der Seele, indem man dieses Abwechseln in der Seele erlernt, lernt man auch ein Bild zu haben, dann das Bild in der Seele verschwinden zu lassen. Dann lebt man fort. Das Bild ist weg, aber man hat das Erleben im Innern der Dinge. Man erlebt das Geistige. Man erlebt es durch die Kraft, die man sich erworben hat, durch die Ausbildung der Liebe. So, wie man das Geistige neu lernt durch die Ausbildung des Liebevermögens, so lernt man das Geistige erleben durch die Steigerung, durch die immer weiter gehende Steigerung der Kraft der Liebe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":214,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80b/1921-01-28/p044"}],"english":["GA 80b/1921-01-28/p044"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":214,"en_words":213,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":17469,"original_word_count":17257,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Inner Nature and Essence of the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080b/English/SOL2024/19210128p01.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.
