In order to trace this back to an exact thinking, you would first have to undertake an analysis of the concept of time. Just consider: as the usually meant reality stands before us, space and time are interwoven. One can only think such things when one distinguishes between space and time. In ordinary objective knowledge, you have not given time at all. You measure time with nothing but spatial quantities, and changes in spatial quantities are the means of recognizing what then counts as time. Just imagine a different way of measuring time. Otherwise, you always measure time according to space. This is not the case in the moment when you move on to the real experience of time. People usually do this unconsciously. Actually, thinking is elevated into consciousness through imaginative knowledge. But you have a truly temporal experience when, for example, let us say, on April 12, 1922 at 4:4 minutes and so many seconds, you take your soul life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Um dieses auf ein genaues Denken zurückzuführen, müßten Sie erst eine Analyse des Zeitbegriffes einmal vornehmen. Bedenken Sie nur: Wie die gewöhnlich gemeinte Wirklichkeit vor uns steht, ist ja Raum und Zeit ineinander verwoben. Man kann solche Dinge erst dann denken, wenn man auseinanderhält Raum und Zeit. Im gewöhnlichen gegenständlichen Erkennen haben Sie ja die Zeit überhaupt nicht gegeben. Sie messen ja die Zeit durch lauter Raumgrößen, und Veränderungen in den Raumgrößen sind die Erkennungsmittel für dasjenige, was dann als Zeit gilt. Denken Sie sich doch nur eine andere Zeitmessung. Sie messen sonst immer die Zeit nach dem Raum. Das ist nicht der Fall in dem Augenblick, wo Sie zum wirklichen Erleben der Zeit übergehen. Das tun die Menschen zumeist unbewußt. Eigentlich wird das Denken durch die imaginative Erkenntnis ins Bewußtsein heraufgehoben. Ein wirklich zeitliches Erleben aber haben Sie, wenn Sie zum Beispiel, sagen wir, am 12.
