This can only be grasped if we bear in mind the proverb: The steadily falling drop hollows out the stone. But the Rosicrucian pupil works towards this future goal. Even as the drop, small as it is, after a long time achieves hollow in the stone, so the progress of the human bodies is brought about by this regulation of the breathing process. The indications given to the Rosicrucian pupil enable him to prepare, even to-day, a condition in which the Ego acquires the faculty to contemplate the future state of being in the higher worlds. The Rosicrucian pupil therefore does two things: In the first place he helps to prepare the future of humanity, and secondly he himself acquires the power of looking into the spiritual worlds; he sees that which will later on come down into physical reality.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIV.

Das ist etwas, was man auch nur verstehen kann nach dem Grundsatze: Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein. Aber der Rosenkreuzerschüler arbeitet daran. So wie der Tropfen als ein Kleines, Winziges, nach langer Zeit erst die Höhlung im Stein bewirkt, so wird der Fortschritt der Menschenleiber bewirkt durch diesen Atmungsregulierungsprozeß. Diese Anweisungen, die der Rosenkreuzerschüler auszuüben hat, sind solche, daß sie ihn auf den Weg bringen, schon heute die Vorbereitung zu treffen, daß sein Ich die Fähigkeit erwirbt, sich die nächsten Leiber auf eine andere Weise aufzubauen. Damit ist allerdings verknüpft, daß Sie das, was Sie später in physischer Umgebung haben werden, schon jetzt in der geistigen Welt haben. Jene Rosenkreuzerberatung besteht darin, daß man im langsamen Prozeß einen Zukunftszustand vorbereitet und sich die Fähigkeit erwirbt, schon jetzt in den höheren Welten diesen Zustand zu schauen. Zweierlei tut also der Rosenkreuzerschüler: Erstens arbeitet er vor für die Zukunft der Menschheit, und zweitens erwirbt er sich selbst das Schauen in der geistigen Welt; er sieht das, was dann später heruntersteigt in die physische Wirklichkeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":197,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-29/p019"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-29/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":197,"en_words":173,"ratio":0.88,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5823,"original_word_count":5685,"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/ANS1942/19070629p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
