Man can have this experience if he becomes conscious of this inner life of thought. When he becomes so vividly conscious of this that he can live in this activity of thinking even when it is free from impressions arising out of external sense-perceptions and is not engaged in co-ordinating those perceptions but is free from all outside influences—when he rises by sheer inner strength to full awareness of a weaving, surging life of thought in himself, then this body of formative forces can be experienced.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":139,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/84/1923-04-21/p003","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1923-04-21","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 84/1923-04-21/p003","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/84/1923-04-21/p003"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 84/1923-04-21/p003"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":255,"en_words":262,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

In this imaginative weaving and quickened life of the soul, which becomes experience of the etheric, one does not feel that shadowy, inner dimness which characterises the ordinary, dreamlike consciousness of the soul. Nor does one feel so separated from the world as one does in the physical body, isolated within the skin. One feels the outer world streaming into one, and one's own being streaming out into the world. One feels a member of the whole etheric universe, caught up in a world of movement. At the same time, however, all this is a rather disquieting experience, as of something unreal. Whereas in his physical body man is accustomed to feel himself standing firmly on the earth, in this etheric experience he feels a certain insecurity in regard to his own existence. He has the feeling of being lifted out of the physical world while riot yet firmly established in the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":182,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/84/1923-04-21/p005","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1923-04-21","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 84/1923-04-21/p004","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/84/1923-04-21/p004"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":186,"en_words":182,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.
