Sie sagten: Wenn der Schüler das betrachtet, was in der großen Welt ausgebreitet ist als Mensch, dann hat er den Herakles vor sich. Der Inder nannte das, was als Kräfte des Weltalls lebt, Väc. - Im Menschen aber fühlten sie gewissermaßen als den Extrakt des Ganzen das Brahman. — So verdeutlichten sich die Griechen das, was Nachklänge sind von demjenigen, was in der Seele des Schülers vor sich ging in der uralt heiligen indischen Kultur. Das war die Frucht eines Zuges der Griechen unter Alexander dem Großen nach Indien. Gerade aus dieser Grundempfindung heraus entwickelte sich die uralt heilige indische Eingeweihtenlehre, die wie ein geistiges Abbild erscheint jenes Urzustandes der Erde, wo die Erde noch die Sonnenkräfte und hohen Wesenheiten in sich hatte, nach deren Erhabenheit man sich später sehnte. Deshalb war es ein hohes Gefühl geistigen Lebens, wenn der Schüler eingeweiht wurde, wenn er das in sich erstehen lassen konnte, was man als Brahman erfaßt. Es war ein ungeheurer Vorgang in der Menschenseele. Das war eine Erhebung in hohe Welten. Nicht anders konnte man eingeweiht werden und zum wirklichen Schauen gelangen, als wenn man sich erhob zu höchsten Welten. Diejenige Welt, die um uns ist, ist die physische Welt. Um sie und in ihr wogt die Astralwelt. Höher steht das Devachan, die Götterwelt, und in die höchsten Regionen des Devachan mußte entrückt werden der Schüler, wenn er in dem Makrokosmos das Brahman, das Urselbst fühlen sollte. Im obersten Devachan war dann der Schüler, in der Götterwelt, aus der herausstammt das Edelste, was der Mensch in sich hat. Es war ein Reich höchster, vollkommenster Ordnung, in das der Schüler entrückt wurde, ein Reich, das noch vieles andere bot an Erkenntnis; denn das, was hier geschildert wurde, war nicht das einzige.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":316,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/106/1908-09-05/p009"}],"english":["GA 106/1908-09-05/p011","GA 106/1908-09-05/p012","GA 106/1908-09-05/p013"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":316,"en_words":314,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4393,"original_word_count":4251,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Norman MacBeth","identified_edition":"AP1971","book_title":"Egyptian Myths and Mysteries","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA106/English/AP1971/19080905p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
