On the other hand, the evil would not cease of itself if the new wisdom were ignored; that is, if people clung rigidly to the old principle and remained insensible to the manner in which the Christ impulse acts.

Wenn aber im neuen Sinne, wie das gezeigt wird durch die Hochzeit zu Kana, die Vereinigung mit der Mutter gesucht wird, wenn der Mensch sich so mit dem in ihm lebenden astralischen Leib und Ätherleib vereinigt, dann kommt Heil und Frieden und Brüderlichkeit im Laufe der Zeit immer mehr und mehr unter die Menschen, und bekämpft wird dadurch das alte Prinzip des Tötens des Vaters und des Sich-Vereinigens mit der Mutter. — Was also war eigentlich das feindliche Element, das der Christus hinwegzubringen hatte? Nicht die alte Weisheit war es, sie brauchte nicht bekämpft zu werden. Sie verlor ihre Kraft, sie versiegte nach und nach von selber. Und wir sehen, wie diejenigen, die sich ihr anvertrauen, wie Oedipus, gerade durch sie in die Disharmonie verfallen. Aber das Unheil würde nicht von selber versiegen, wenn man sich abwenden wollte von der neuen Weisheit, das heißt von der Art und Weise, wie der Christus-Impuls wirkt, wenn man starr bleiben würde bei dem alten Prinzip. Das wurde empfunden als der größte Fortschritt, daß man nicht bei dem alten Prinzip bleibt, daß man nicht starr festhält an der alten Linie, sondern daß man erkennt, was durch den Christus in die Welt gekommen ist. Ist uns auch das angedeutet? Ja! Sagen und Mythen enthalten die tiefste Weisheit. Es gibt eine Sage - sie steht zwar nicht im Evangelium, aber sie ist darum nicht minder eine christliche Sage und auch eine christliche Wahrheit -, und sie lautet also:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":281,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-04/p036"}],"beads":[{"from":[32,33,34,35,36,37],"to":[34,35],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[38],"to":[36],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
