One might assume that we would then see what our physical organization is. For there is no doubt that, for ordinary consciousness, we only penetrate to the memory mirror in our soul, and in doing so, the processes of the physical organization change the image from the outside, which we see in the soul mirror, into a distorted image. But if we create an ever more activated thinking, with which we live inwardly as with our blood and our breath, so that our whole being participates in this inwardly living thinking, we penetrate deeper into our human nature, then not a physical human being is revealed to us, but a spiritual-soul being, which can only be revealed to us through this strengthened thinking. Then that in man reveals itself to us which is entirely of a spiritual-soul nature, which remains unconscious to consciousness, but which, by its own nature, shows that it was present before man, through birth, even through conception, entered upon his earthly existence.","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":202,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/84/1923-04-30/p011","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.

Denn zweifellos: Für das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein dringen wir seelisch nur bis zum Erinnerungsspiegel vor, und dabei verändern die Vorgänge der physischen Organisation das Bild von außen, das wir im Seelenspiegel erblicken, zu einem Zerrbild. Schaffen wir uns aber ein immer mehr aktiviertes Denken, mit dem wir innerlich leben wie mit unserem Blute und unserem Atem, so daß sich unser ganzer Mensch beteiligt an diesem innerlich lebendigen Denken, dringen wir tiefer in unser Menschenwesen ein, dann enthüllt sich uns nicht ein physischer Mensch, dann enthüllt sich uns ein Geistig-Seelisches, das nur durch dieses erkraftete, erstarkte Denken offenbar werden kann. Dann enthüllt sich uns dasjenige am Menschen, was durchaus geistig-seelischer Natur ist, was dem Bewußtsein unbewußt bleibt, was aber durch sein eigenes Wesen zeigt, daß es vorhanden war, bevor der Mensch durch die Geburt, ja durch die Empfängnis, sein irdisches Dasein angetreten hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":193,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/84/1923-04-30/p011"}],"english":["GA 84/1923-04-30/p011"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":193,"en_words":202,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","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.
