And what one has to accomplish within the soul is truly no easier than what one accomplishes in the laboratory, in the physics room, or at the observatory. Outward research is no more difficult to acquire than that which is carefully and conscientiously cultivated in the soul over many years. But then certain inner soul powers, which we otherwise only know as powers of remembrance, become stronger, and thus something arises in us as soul power that we have not known at all before. This enables us to clearly recognize what materialism says about the power of memory and remembrance. Materialism tells us that the human being's power of remembrance is bound to the material body; if something in the nervous system is not properly constituted, then the power of remembrance also declines, and it declines with age. In any case, mental powers depend on physical development. Spiritual science does not deny this for the life between birth and death. For someone who is developing his memory as I have just described it knows from direct experience how the ordinary memory, which conjures up images of our experiences before our soul, is dependent on the human body. But what he is now developing becomes completely independent of the human body. And the human being experiences how one can live in a soul realm, so that one has supersensible experiences in this soul realm, just as one has sensory experiences in the physical body. I would like to explain to you how these supersensible experiences are in the following way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Und was man da verrichten muss im Inneren der Seele, es ist wahrhaftig nicht leichter als dasjenige, was man im Laboratorium, im Physiksaal, auf der Sternwarte vollbringt. Äußerliche Forschungen eignet man sich nicht etwa schwerer an als dasjenige, was so in der Seele sorgsam und gewissenhaft durch lange Jahre heranerzogen wird. Dann aber erstarken gewisse innere Seelenkräfte, die wir sonst nur als Erinnerungskräfte kennen, und dadurch ersteht in uns etwas als Seelenkraft, was wir vorher überhaupt nicht gekannt haben. Dadurch gelangen wir dazu, nun deutlich zu erkennen gerade dasjenige, was sonst über die Gedächtniskraft, die Erinnerungskraft der Materialismus sagt. Der Materialismus sagt uns: Diese Erinnerungskraft des Menschen ist ja an den materiellen Leib gebunden; ist irgendetwas im Nervensystem nicht in der richtigen Weise konstituiert, so geht auch die Erinnerungskraft zurück, auch mit dem Alter geht sie zurück. Überhaupt, die Geisteskräfte hängen von der leiblichen Entwicklung ab. Das leugnet für das Leben zwischen Geburt und Tod Geisteswissenschaft nicht. Denn derjenige, der gerade seine Erinnerungskraft so entwickelt erhält, wie ich es eben geschildert habe, der weiß durch unmittelbare Anschauung, wie die gewöhnliche Erinnerungskraft, die uns die Bilder unserer Erlebnisse vor die Seele zaubert, allerdings abhängig ist von dem menschlichen Leibe. Aber dasjenige, was er jetzt entwickelt, das wird ganz unabhängig von dem menschlichen Leibe. Und der Mensch erfährt, wie man kann in einem Seelischen leben, sodass man in diesem Seelischen übersinnliche Erfahrungen hat, wie man in dem physischen Leibe sinnliche Erfahrungen hat.
