Nor can we escape from this perception from within by looking at what physiology and anatomy tell us about man. All the magnificent results that ordinary science has achieved present us with a solid shape of complex structure; yet it is one quite different in kind from what we observe within us when we visualize our thinking, feeling and volition, and we cannot find a bridge from one to the other. We can watch the struggles of psychologists to establish a relationship between what they comprehend in its abstractness and semblance nature—the only way that is open to their inward perception—and what exists outside. The two things are so far apart that we cannot establish a connection between them directly, through ordinary consciousness. But if we proceed without prejudice and fix our eyes, not upon an illusion of the solid man, but upon man as a being of liquid, a being of air and heat, then by a process of empathy with ourselves we shall become aware of the flow of heat and cold in the currents of our respiratory circulation, if we provide a basis on which we can do so.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Und wir müssen bei dieser inneren Anschauung stehenbleiben, wenn wir das betrachten, was Physiologie und Anatomie uns vom Menschen geben. Wenn wir alle die großartigen Resultate der gewöhnlichen Wissenschaft auf uns wirken lassen, dann haben wir etwas vor uns wie ein festes Gebilde in einer mannigfaltigen Struktur, aber etwas, was seinem Wesen nach grundverschieden ist von dem, was wir im Innern beobachten, wenn wir uns das Denken, Fühlen, Wollen in ihrer Gestaltung vor die Seele rufen, und wir finden nicht die Brücke vom einen zum andern. Wir sehen, wie die Seelenkundigen sich damit abplagen, ein Wechselverhältnis zu suchen zwischen dem, was sie auf der einen Seite auffassen in seiner Abstraktheit, Bildhaftigkeit, in der Art und Weise, die man eben nur innerlich anschauen kann, und dem, was äußerlich da ist. Das steht so weit voneinander ab, daß man eine Verbindungsbrücke mit dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein nicht ohne weiteres schlagen kann. Gehen wir aber unbefangen vor, fassen wir nicht die Illusion des festen Menschen ins Auge, sondern fassen wir ins Auge, wie der Mensch ein Flüssigkeitswesen, ein Luft-, ein Wärmewesen ist, dann kommen wir durch Einfühlen in uns selber dazu, das Wogen von Wärme und Kälte in den Strömungen unseres Luftkreislaufes wahrzunehmen, wenn wir uns eine innere Anlage dafür anschaffen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":249,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/83/1922-06-05/p032"}],"english":["GA 83/1922-06-05/p033"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":249,"en_words":227,"ratio":0.91,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 83/1922-06-05/p032"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7124,"original_word_count":7286,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"B.
