It seeks to recognize the extent to which this demand of the soul is somehow justified. Many people today see what science has achieved on the one hand, and on the other hand they feel that science cannot get to the actual soul-spiritual. And so many of those who do not want to stop at the confession of the limits of human knowledge turn to one or other kind of mysticism, that mystical way of looking at things that attempts to reach that which relates to the eternal in the human being by immersing oneself in one's own inner self. And through such mystical contemplation many beautiful things have been brought up from the depths of the human soul, from the depths of life that otherwise remain in the subconscious or unconscious. Through such mystical contemplation many people have come to believe that what is brought up from the depths of the soul, what is present in man, is directly rooted in the divine-spiritual existence, so that by brings the divine-spiritual to revelation in the recognition of the human being himself, and thereby advances to the exploration of the eternal character of man and to the connection of man with the divine.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Development and Education of the Human Being in the Light of Anthroposophy","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-04-30","location":null,"word_count":225,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/84/1923-04-30/p006","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"What is the Purpose of Anthroposophy and the Goetheanum?","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA084/English/SOL2024/19230430p01.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.

Viele Menschen der Gegenwart sehen auf dasjenige, was die Naturwissenschaft auf der einen Seite Großartiges leistete, und sie fühlen andererseits: an das eigentliche Seelisch-Geistige kann Naturwissenschaft nicht heran. Und so wenden sich viele von denen, die beim Bekenntnis von den Grenzen des menschlichen Wissens nicht stehen bleiben wollen, zu der oder jener Art von Mystik, jener mystischen Anschauungsweise, welche versucht, dasjenige, was sich auf das Ewige des menschlichen Wesens bezieht, durch Versenkung in das eigene Innere zu erreichen. Und durch solche mystische Versenkung ist ja manches Schöne aus den Tiefen der Menschenseele, aus den Tiefen des sonst im Unterbewußten oder Unbewußten bleibenden Lebens heraufgeholt worden. Durch solche mystische Versenkung sind so manche Menschen dazu gekommen zu glauben, daß das, was da aus den Tiefen der Seele heraufgeholt wird, was im Menschen so vorhanden ist, unmittelbar im göttlich-geistigen Dasein wurzelt, so daß, indem man es heraufholt, man das Göttlich-Geistige im Erkennen des Menschen selbst zur Offenbarung brächte, und dadurch zur Erforschung des Ewigkeitscharakters des Menschen und zum Zusammenhange des Menschen mit dem Göttlichen vordringe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":201,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/84/1923-04-30/p006"}],"english":["GA 84/1923-04-30/p006"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":201,"en_words":225,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8408,"original_word_count":7960,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"What is the Purpose of Anthroposophy and the Goetheanum?","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA084/English/SOL2024/19230430p01.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.
