Imagine I have some water here and I apply a particular procedure to cool it down so that it turns to ice. If we heat some of the ice so that it turns to water again, we have three things—the original water all around, the ice, and something that is turning to water again. You may look at the human brain like this. The spirit which fills the whole world has condensed into the brain as water does to ice. Thoughts are brought forth from the brain just as water is from ice when this is heated. Essentially, therefore, you may take all matter to be condensed spirit, contracted spirit and you can see the things of the mind and spirit that show themselves in the world to have come from the physical. Materialistic thinking considers only the condensed matter and has forgotten that the spirit is behind the world of matter, that a spiritual world exists beyond the physical that creates matter. The theosophical movement should take people back again to the spirit that is behind the material world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Wir haben den Geist, der uns zunächst an der Oberfläche in den Naturerscheinungen, in Kunst und Wissenschaft und in den ökonomischen Erzeugnissen der Technik und der Industrie erscheint. Dieser Geist ist ein Erzeugnis des physischen Lebens. Aber hinter diesem steht sein Schöpfer, und der ist wieder Geist. Durch ein Bild machen Sie sich das klar. Sie denken sich, ich hätte hier Wasser, das ich durch eine bestimmte Prozedur so abkühle, daß es Eis wird. Wenn wir einen Teil des Eises so erwärmen, daß es wieder zu Wasser wird, dann haben wir ein dreifach Verschiedenes: das ursprüngliche Wasser ringsherum, das Eis und das, was wiederum zu Wasser wird. So betrachten Sie das menschliche Gehirn. Der Geist, der die ganze Welt ausfüllt, hat sich zum Gehirn verdichtet wie das Wasser zum Eis, und vom Gehirn werden wieder die Gedanken abgeschieden wie das Wasser von dem erwärmten Eis. So können Sie alles Materielle im Grunde genommen wie eine Verdichtung des Geistes auffassen, wie eine Zusammenziehung des Geistes, und das Geistige, das in der Welt erscheint, können Sie betrachten als hervorgegangen aus dem Physischen. Der Materialismus sieht nur die verdichtete Materie und hat vergessen, daß hinter der materiellen Welt das Geistige steht, daß über den Dingen ein Geistiges existiert, das die Materie hervorbringt. Die theosophische Bewegung soll wieder zu dem Geiste hinführen, der hinter dem Materiellen steht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":234,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/96/1906-10-08/p019"}],"english":["GA 96/1906-10-08/p023","GA 96/1906-10-08/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":234,"en_words":240,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.15,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6420,"original_word_count":5599,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Anna Meuss","identified_edition":"CMP2001","book_title":"Original Impulses fo the Science of the Spirit","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA096/English/CMP2001/19061008p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 96/1906-10-08/p019"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
