This is in harmony with the fact that what the Buddha experienced is something that the gods had experienced in those spiritual spheres, and that men also had experienced when they were still in those spheres. As the teaching of Wotan thus appeared again, it was a doctrine that paid little attention to the physical plane, emphasizing that the physical plane is a place of woe, and that redemption from it is important. Much of the Wotan-being spoke in the Buddha. Hence it is that stragglers from Atlantis have shown the deepest understanding for the Buddha-teaching. Among the Asiatic population there are races that have remained at the Atlantean level, although externally they must, of course, move ahead with the earth evolution. Among the Mongolian peoples much of Atlantis has remained. They are stragglers from the old population of Atlantis. The stationary character in the Mongolian population is a heritage from Atlantis. Therefore the teachings of the Buddha are especially serviceable to such peoples, and Buddhism has made great strides among them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Tenth Lecture","site_heading":"Initiation, Christ, and Humanity's Spiritual Redemption","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Es kann durchaus einen Menschen geben, der die Wiederverkörperung eines früheren Menschen ist, der sich hoch entwickelt hat, der seine drei Leiber soweit geläutert hat, daß er nun ein Gefäß ist einer höheren Wesenheit. Und so wurde Buddha ein Gefäß für Wotan. Dieselbe Wesenheit, die Wotan genannt wurde in den germanischen Mythen, die trat als Buddha wieder auf. Buddha und Wotan sind sogar sprachlich verwandt. Wir können sagen, daß vieles von demjenigen, was die Geheimnisse der atlantischen Zeit waren, damit überging auf das, was der Buddha verkündigen konnte. Und damit steht es im Einklange, daß dasjenige, was der Buddha erlebte, etwas ist, was die Götter erlebt hatten in jenen geistigen Sphären, was auch die Menschen erlebt hatten, als sie noch selbst in jenen Sphären waren. Als so die Lehre des Wotan wieder auftrat, da war sie eine Lehre, die wenig Rücksicht nahm auf den physischen Plan, die nur betonen mußte, daß der physische Plan eine Stätte des Schmerzes ist und daß die Erlösung davon viel bedeute — denn es sprach viel von der Wotanwesenheit im Buddha. Deshalb haben das tiefste Verständnis für die Buddhalehren diejenigen gezeigt, die Nachzügler waren aus der Atlantis. Es sind unter der asiatischen Bevölkerung solche zurückgeblieben, die als Rassen durchaus stehengeblieben sind auf der atlantischen Stufe. Natürlich mußten sie äußerlich mit der Erdenentwickelung fortschreiten. In den mongolischen Völkern ist viel von der Atlantis zurückgeblieben; sie sind Nachzügler der alten Bevölkerung der Atlantis. Der stationäre Zug in der mongolischen Bevölkerung ist eine solche Erbschaft aus der Atlantis. Daher dienen die Lehren des Buddha vorzugsweise solchen Völkerschaften, und der Buddhismus hat große Fortschritte bei diesen Völkern gemacht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":285,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/106/1908-09-12/p019"}],"english":["GA 106/1908-09-12/p019","GA 106/1908-09-12/p020"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":285,"en_words":283,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5907,"original_word_count":5918,"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/AP1971/19080912p01.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.
