Not upon what lives as a transitory ego between birth and death: the forces must penetrate deeper, must enter the ego that continues from one life to another. Again the Christ force has increased. Hitherto we have seen it influencing only what is directly before it; now it acts upon the principle that survives human life between birth and death, that continues from life to life. Christ feels Himself the representative of the I Am. As He pours His force into the I Am—as thus the exalted God of Christ communicates Himself to the God in man—the blind man receives the force enabling him to heal himself from within. Now Christ has penetrated to the innermost being of the soul. His force has acted upon the eternal individuality of the sick man and strengthened it by causing His own force to appear in this individuality, thereby influencing even the consequences of former incarnations.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Es ist etwas Göttliches. Wie oft haben wir es ausgesprochen, daß das vierte Glied der menschlichen Wesenheit die Anlage zu dem Göttlichen im Menschen ist. «Ihr seid Götter! », das heißt: ein Göttliches wohnt in euch! Dieses Göttliche ist etwas anderes als der Mensch, als die Person des Menschen, wie er hier zwischen Geburt und Tod lebt; das ist auch etwas anderes als das, was ein Mensch von seinen Eltern ererbt hat. Woher kommt dieses Göttliche, diese Individualität des Menschen? Sie geht von Verkörperung zu Verkörperung, durch wiederholte Erdenleben. Aus einem früheren Erdenleben herüber, aus einer früheren Inkarnation kommt diese Individualität. Also: nicht seine Eltern haben gesündigt, auch nicht seine Persönlichkeit, zu der man gewöhnlich «Ich» sagt. Aber in einem früheren Leben hat dieser Mensch die Ursache dazu gelegt, daß er blind geboren ist in diesem Leben. Blind ist er dadurch geworden, daß sich die Werke des Gottes in ihm von einem früheren Leben her in seiner Blindheit zeigen. Karma, das Gesetz von Ursache und Wirkung, wird hier klar und deutlich von dem Christus Jesus angedeutet. Auf was also muß jetzt gewirkt werden, wenn diese Krankheit geheilt werden sollte? Es muß auf das gewirkt werden, was nicht als ein vergängliches Ich zwischen Geburt und Tod lebt, sondern tiefer müssen sich die Kräfte hineinbohren, in das Ich, das von Leben zu Leben geht. Die Christus-Kraft hat sich abermals gesteigert. Bis jetzt haben wir gesehen, daß sie nur auf das gewirkt hat, was ihr gegenübersteht. Jetzt wirkt sie auf das, was das Menschenleben zwischen Geburt und Tod überlebt, was von Leben zu Leben geht. Der Christus fühlt sich selbst als der Repräsentant des Ich-bin. Indem er seine Kraft hineingießt in das Ich-bin, indem so der hohe Gott des Christus sich mitteilt dem Gotte im Menschen, bekommt der Mensch die Kraft, sich von innen heraus zu heilen. Jetzt ist der Christus hineingedrungen bis in das innerste Wesen der Seele. Seine Kraft hat hineingewirkt in die ewige Individualität des Kranken und hat diese dadurch stark gemacht, daß die eigene Kraft des Christus auftritt in der Individualität des Kranken und dadurch auch hineinwirkt bis in die Folgen der früheren Inkarnationen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":371,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-02/p053"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-07-02/p067","GA 112/1909-07-02/p068"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":371,"en_words":366,"ratio":0.99,"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.
