Occult science can show that these truths are able to permeate every sphere of human life and to fructify it. And when spiritual science will have exercised this healing, fructifying influence it will have justified its existence in the best possible way. This, is the proof which spiritual science seeks. Theosophists therefore do not grow alarmed when people come and say: “This is pure fantasy!” Everything which has become a blessing in human civilisation has at first been regarded as pure fantasy. In the history of the last forties of the 19th century; we could cite many examples in support of this statement.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIV.

Und auch wir hätten, wenn wir Zeit dazu gehabt hätten, einige solcher Gegengründe anführen können. Aber es war wichtig, wegen der Kürze der Zeit, daß wir das mitgeteilt erhielten, was die Geistesforschung schon heute zu verkünden vermag über die Tatsachen der höheren Welt. Worauf es ankommt, ist, daß die Sachen heilsam auf den Menschen wirken können, und daß die Geisteswissenschaft zu zeigen vermag, wie sie sich immer mehr und mehr in alle Zweige des menschlichen Lebens eingliedern und sie befruchten kann. Und wenn sie befruchtend und gesundend wirken wird, dann wird sie durch eine solche Tatsache den besten Beweis für ihre Berechtigung gebracht haben. Dies soll auch der Beweis sein, den die Geisteswissenschaft sucht. Deshalb bleibt der Theosoph ziemlich unerschrokken, wenn die Leute heute noch sagen: Alles das ist nur Phantastik! — Es ist ja immer alles das, was zum Segen der Menschheit geworden ist, einst als Phantastik angesehen worden. Ein Beispiel dafür aus den letzten vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts: Da gab es noch nicht unsere gewöhnliche Postmarke. Die Postmarke ist ja erst Ende der vierziger Jahre von einem gewissen Hill - eigentlich von einem Dilettanten — erfunden worden. Derjenige nun, der sie im Parlament zu vertreten hatte, hat eine merkwürdige Rede gehalten. Erstens, sagte er, kann das gar nicht sein, daß der Verkehr in einer solchen Weise zunimmt, wie dieser Mensch das ausrechnet, und wenn das der Fall wäre, dann würde man ja das Gebäude größer machen müssen! — Was heute als ganz selbstverständlich erscheint: daß man auch das Gebäude vergrößert, wenn der Verkehr zunimmt, ist so abgespeist worden. Ein anderes: Als die erste Eisenbahn gebaut werden sollte, hat man in Bayern das Medizinalkollegium darüber befragt. Da haben die Herren gesagt, man sollte keine Eisenbahn bauen, denn das würde für die Menschen, die da fahren, die furchtbarsten Folgen für ihr Nervensystem haben. Wenn man aber schon eine Eisenbahn baue, dann müsse man hohe Bretterwände herumbauen, damit die andern keine Gehirnerschütterung davon bekämen!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":346,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-29/p036"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-29/p048","GA 100/1907-06-29/p049"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"partial","length_check":{"de_words":346,"en_words":188,"ratio":0.54,"partial":true},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 100/1907-06-29/p036"],"reader_part":true},"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.
