The higher soul is closely linked with the animal soul. By their fusion the passions are tempered, spiritualised and dominated according to the strength of man's intelligence and will. This fusion is of benefit to man but he pays for it by the loss of clairvoyance. Imagine to yourself a green liquid, produced by a combination of blue and yellow elements. If you succeed in separating them, the yellow will descend and the blue will rise to the surface. Something analogous happens when, through Yoga, the animal-soul is separated from the higher soul. The latter acquires clairvoyant vision; the former is left to its own devices if it has not been purified by the *self* and it is then given over to its passions and desires. This often happens in the case of mediums. The ‘Guardian of the Threshold’ protects man from this danger.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Die höhere Seele ist eng gebunden an die tierische Seele. Ihre Verbindung untereinander ist es, die die Leidenschaften mäßigt, sie vergeistigt und beherrscht nach dem Grade der Vernunft und des Willens. Diese Verbindung hat einen Vorteil für den Menschen. Aber er bezahlt diesen Vorteil mit dem Verlust seiner Hellsichtigkeit. Stellen wir uns eine Flüssigkeit von grüner Farbe vor, die chemisch aus Blau und Gelb zusammengesetzt ist. Wenn es Ihnen gelingt, sie chemisch zu trennen, werden Sie zum Beispiel sehen, daß die gelbe Flüssigkeit sich auf dem Grund absetzt, während die blaue an die Oberfläche aufsteigt. Ebenso verhält es sich beim Menschen, wenn der Einweihungsweg die tierische Seele von der geistigen Seele trennt. Für die höhere Seele erfolgt daraus die Hellsichtigkeit, aber die allein gelassene tierische Seele überliefert sich nun, sofern sie noch nicht durch das Ich gereinigt ist, ohne Kontrolle dem Exzeß der Leidenschaften. Man kann diese Tatsache häufig bei Medien konstatieren. Das Wachsein gegenüber dieser Gefahr wird manchmal in der Einweihung bezeichnet durch das Wort: der Hüter der Schwelle.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":176,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-05-30/p006"}],"english":["GA 94/1906-05-30/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":176,"en_words":149,"ratio":0.85,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.94,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1509,"original_word_count":1602,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"René Queirdo","identified_edition":"SGP1978","book_title":"An Esoteric Cosmology","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA094/English/SGP1978/19060530p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 94/1906-05-30/p006"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
