He experienced all this in an astral prevision. He experienced the marriage of humanity with the Spirit. That is an important experience which mankind can only impress upon the outer world through Christ having entered into time, into history. Previously mankind had not lived in this kind of brotherliness, brought about by means of the spirit unfolding within the inner being, in which peace exists between man and man. Prior to this, there was only the love prepared physically through the tie of blood. This love develops gradually into a spiritual love which then descends upon earth. As final result of this third chapter of initiation, we may say that humanity celebrates its marriage with Spirit-Self or Manas. This can only happen when the time for it has arrived, when the time has matured for the full realization of the Christ Impulse. So long as the time has not yet come, so long will the relationship which is based upon the kinship of blood obtain, and so long will love be an un-spiritual form of love.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":256,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p021","unit_kind":{"kind":"second_lecture_same_day","base_unit":"GA 103/1908-05-30","note":"Another lecture given on the same date as 1908-05-30; the suffix only separates two lectures of one day."},"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-05-30_02","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p028","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p028"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":112,"en_words":387,"ratio":3.46,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

When we read, “On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee,” every initiate knows that with this “third day,” something very special is meant. What is meant? The writer of the Gospel of St. John points out that it is not alone a matter of an actual experience, but that it is, at the same time, a great, an overpowering prophecy. This marriage expresses the great marriage of humanity which occurred on the third day of initiation. On the first day there occurred what took place in the transition from the third to the fourth cultural epoch; on the second day, what took place in the transition from the fourth to the fifth epoch and on the third day what will occur when mankind passes over from the fifth to the sixth epoch. These are the three days of initiation. The Christ Impulse has been compelled to wait until the third epoch. Before that, the time had not come when it could operate. The Gospel of St. John points to a special relationship between “me and thee,” between “us two.” That is what is really said, not the absurd “Woman, what have I to do with thee.” When the Mother asks the Christ to make a sign, He answered: “My time is not yet come” to be active at marriages, that is, to bring people together. That time is yet to come. What is based upon the blood-bond still works on and will continue to be active; hence the reference to the relationship between mother and son at the Marriage of Cana.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":280,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p022","unit_kind":{"kind":"second_lecture_same_day","base_unit":"GA 103/1908-05-30","note":"Another lecture given on the same date as 1908-05-30; the suffix only separates two lectures of one day."},"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-05-30_02","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p029","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p029"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p030","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p030"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p031","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p031"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":513,"en_words":280,"ratio":0.55,"partial":true},"correspondence":"partial","note":"PARTIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Er erlebte die geistige Bedeutung des ersten der geschilderten Kapitel, von da an, wo der Ruf ertönt: «Sage deinem Volk: Ich bin der «Ich-bin»», bis zur Herabkunft des Messias. Als zweites Kapitel erlebte er den Herunterstieg des Christus in die Materie. Und als drittes Kapitel erlebte er, wie allmählich die Menschheit vorbereitet wird, zu empfangen den Geist oder das Geistselbst, Manas, im sechsten Zeitraum. Und er erlebte das in einem astralen Vorgesicht. Er erlebte die Hochzeit zwischen der Menschheit und dem Geist. Das ist ein wichtiges Erlebnis, das aber die Menschheit nur dadurch äußerlich zur Ausprägung bringen kann, daß der Christus in die Zeit, in die Geschichte eingetreten ist. Vorher hat die Menschheit nicht gelebt in einer solchen Brüderlichkeit, die durch den im Innern aufgegangenen Geist herbeigeführt wird, wo Friede ist zwischen Mensch und Mensch. Vorher gab es nur die Liebe, die materiell vorbereitet war durch die Blutsverwandtschaft. Diese Liebe entwickelt sich nach und nach zur geistigen Liebe, und diese geistige Liebe senkt sich herunter. Als Schlußerfolg des dritten Kapitels der Einweihung sagen wir daher: Die Menschheit feiert ihre Ehe mit dem Geistselbst oder Manas. Das kann erst eintreten, wenn die Zeit dafür gekommen ist, wenn die Zeit reif geworden ist für das volle Verwirklichen des Impulses des Christus. Solange sie nicht gekommen ist, so lange gilt noch das Verhältnis, das sich auf die Blutsverwandtschaft begründet, so lange ist die Liebe nicht geistig. Überall, wo in den alten Urkunden von Zahlen gesprochen wird, ist von dem Geheimnis der Zahl die Rede. Und wenn wir lesen: «Am dritten Tage war eine Hochzeit zu Kana in Galiläa» (2, 1), so weiß jeder Eingeweihte, daß mit diesem «dritten Tage» etwas Besonderes gemeint ist. Was liegt da vor? Der Schreiber des Johannes-Evangeliums weist hier darauf hin, daß es sich nicht nur um ein wirkliches Erlebnis handelt, sondern zu gleicher Zeit noch um eine große, gewaltige Prophetie. Diese Hochzeit drückt aus die große Menschheitshochzeit, die sich in der Einweihung zeigte am dritten Tage. Am ersten Tage zeigte sich, was sich in der ersten Epoche abspielt beim Herübergehen von der dritten in die vierte Kulturepoche, am zweiten Tage, was sich abspielt beim Herübergehen von der vierten zur fünften Kulturepoche, und am dritten Tage das, was geschieht, wenn die Menschheit von der fünften zur sechsten Kulturepoche hinübergehen wird. Das sind die drei Tage der Einweihung. Und es mußte der Christus-Impuls warten bis zum dritten Zeitpunkt. Vorher ist der Zeitpunkt nicht da, wo er wirken kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":416,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p029"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p030","passage_number":30,"text":"![103-10-01](images/103-10-01.gif)","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":0,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p030"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"Im Johannes-Evangelium wird hingedeutet auf eine besondere Beziehung von «mir und dir», von «uns beiden».
