It was the first sign, and the Christ force is shown at its minimum: it still needed the intensification resulting from contact with the mother's psychic forces, as well as the additional strength residing in certain forces of nature that remained intact in the freshly drawn water. The active force of the Christ Being is here shown at its least; but what is stressed as especially important is its influence upon the other soul and its calling forth from it an activity which the latter is fitted to perform. The essential point is that the Christ force had the power to render the other soul capable of exerting influences: it engendered in the wedding guests as well the ability to taste the water as wine.—But every real force increases through its own exercise, and the second time it is called upon it is already greater. Just as any ordinary force increases with exercise, so is especially a spiritual force strengthened when it has once been successfully applied.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Es war das erste Zeichen, das geschehen ist und wo die Kraft des Christus im Mindestmaße gezeigt wird. Sie brauchte noch die Verstärkung durch den Zusammenhalt mit den seelischen Kräften der Mutter, und sie brauchte die Verstärkung durch die im Wasser mit der Natur noch vereinigten Kräfte, die noch darinnen sind, wenn man das Wasser frisch geschöpft hat. Im Mindestmaße tritt uns hier die wirkende Kraft der Christus-Wesenheit entgegen. Aber besonders wird Wert darauf gelegt, daß die Christus-Kraft hinüberwirkt auf die andere Seele und aus dieser anderen Seele, die dazu geeignet ist, Wirkungen herausruft. Das ist das Wesentliche, daß die Christus-Kraft gerade die Macht hat, die andere Seele geeignet zu machen, so daß die Wirkungen eintreten. Sie hatte die Hochzeitsgäste dazu geeignet gemacht, daß sie auch das Wasser als Wein empfanden. Ein jegliches aber, was eine wirkliche Kraft ist, verstärkt sich in seiner Wirkung selber. Indem der Christus das zweite Mal diese Kraft auszuüben hat, ist sie schon stärker. Wie sich die einfachste Kraft durch Übung verstärkt, so verstärkt sich besonders eine geistige Kraft, wenn sie einmal mit Erfolg angewendet wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-02/p026"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-07-02/p038"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":217,"en_words":199,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7221,"original_word_count":7410,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Samuel and Loni Lockwood","identified_edition":"AP1948","book_title":"The Gospel of St. John","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA112/English/AP1948/19090702p02.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.
