Consciousness (Latin: conscientia "co-knowledge"; Greek: συνείδησις syneidesis "co-appearance", "co-image", "co-knowledge", συναίσθησις synaisthesis "co-perception" and φρόνησις phronesis, from φρονεῖν phronein "to be in one's senses, to think"; Early NHG: bewisst „to know, to know exactly“; Sanskrit: चित् Chit) is based, according to Rudolf Steiner, „not on the fact that a being shows a certain counter-effect to an effect, but that the being experiences something within itself which is added to the mere counter-effect as a new thing.“ (GA 13, p. 59f) According to the anthroposophical view, consciousness unfolds and develops in a sequence of seven stages of consciousness, of which our present earthly waking consciousness represents the fourth and middle stage. If consciousness sinks below the level of dream consciousness, one commonly speaks of a state of unconsciousness. Nevertheless, dull degrees of consciousness are still present.
