Consequently something of the idea of guilt always adheres to everything connected with the word Karma. “Creare” therefore means to produce something brought about karmically by earlier connections and conditions, whereas the root “bar” does not contain anything of this karmic relationship. How does this come about? Undoubtedly through the fact that the ancient Hebrew was still connected far more intimately with the spiritual world and still realised quite clearly that at a time when “the Elohim were meditating creatively” it was not yet possible to speak of Karma in the meaning in which we generally speak of it. But in the Latin epoch of human evolution man was already completely severed from the spiritual world, as we shall see upon some other occasion, and therefore he could imagine even the Elohim's “creative meditation” only within a karmic connection.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VII.

Creare also heißt: etwas hervorbringen, was durch frühere Zustände karmisch verschuldet ist, während noch in dem Stamme «bar» nichts von dieser karmischen Bedingtheit liegt. Wie kommt das? Das kommt zweifellos daher, daß der alte Hebräer noch viel inniger mit der geistigen Welt im Zusammenhang stand und sich noch vollkommen klar war, daß damals, als die Elohim die Welt schöpferisch ersannen, noch von keinem Karma die Rede sein konnte in dem Sinne, wie wir gewöhnlich von Karma sprechen. In der lateinischen Epoche der Menschheitsentwickelung war aber der Mensch, wie wir ein anderes Mal sehen werden, schon vollkommen von der geistigen Welt abgeschnürt, und er konnte sich deshalb sogar das schöpferische Ersinnen der Elohim gar nicht anders denken, als in dem karmischen Zusammenhang darinnenstehend.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":171,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-22/p010"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-22/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":171,"en_words":176,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4787,"original_word_count":4729,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070622p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
