Endless abundance would be disclosed could we extend the time indefinitely; and it would be borne in upon us that with the future development of mankind, still new and ever new depths in these documents will be fathomed. Truly, men will never exhaust their contents. There is nothing one has to read into them; we must merely prepare ourselves, by means of occult truths, to find out what they really contain. Then the whole universal complex of mankind, as well as the relation of this complex to the cosmos, will reveal itself to us; and we shall come to see ever deeper into the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Damals, sechs Jahrhunderte vor Christus, hat die Buddha-Wesenheit gelebt und hat zusammengefaßt, was an uralter Weisheit vorhanden war in der Welt, was der Menschheit verlorengegangen war, und wofür der Buddha ein Verkünder wurde. Daher wird uns erzählt, daß, als der Buddha zur Welt kommt, seine Geburt vorherverkündigt wird seiner Mutter Maya. Es wird weiter erzählt, daß uns entgegentritt einer, der da ankündigt über das Kind: Dieses ist das Kind, das Buddha werden wird, der Erlöser, der Führer zu Unsterblichkeit, Freiheit und Licht! - Dann wird uns in mancher Buddha-Legende berichtet, daß der Buddha als zwölfjähriger Knabe verlorengegangen sei, und daß er wiedergefunden wird unter einem Baume, umgeben von den Sängern und Weisen der Vorzeit, die er lehrte. In meiner Schrift «Das Christentum als mystische Tatsache » werden Sie sehen können, wie sechs Jahrhunderte nach Buddha im Lukas-Evangelium wiederum auftauchen die gleichen Legenden, die über den Buddha erzählt werden, wie durch das Lukas-Evangelium wiederum in einer neuen Form auftritt, was durch den Buddha offenbart worden ist. Daher tritt im Lukas-Evangelium auf, was in den Buddha-Legenden bereits enthalten war. Bis zu diesem Grade stimmen die Dinge zusammen, wenn wir sie im Lichte der geistigen Forschung betrachten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":240,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-07/p073"},{"locus":"GA 112/1909-07-07/p074","passage_number":74,"text":"So bekommen wir wohl die Anschauung, daß eine solche Urkunde wie das Johannes-Evangelium und die sich daran anschließenden Evangelien eine unendliche Tiefe enthalten.

Und könnten wir die doppelt so lange Zeit noch einmal verdoppeln, und die zweimal verdoppelte Zeit noch einmal verdoppeln: wir würden neue Tiefen erschließen können! Und wir würden eine Ahnung davon bekommen, daß in die Menschenzukunft hinein immer neue und neue Tiefen aus den Untergründen dieser Dokumente heraus gefunden werden können. Die Menschen lernen wahrhaftig niemals aus in dem Interpretieren dieser Urkunden. Nichts brauchen wir in sie hineinzutragen, nur vorbereiten müssen wir uns dazu, durch die okkulten Wahrheiten, herauszufinden, was wirklich in den Evangelien liegt. Dann enthüllt sich uns in den Evangelien der ganze universelle Menschheitszusammenhang, und wiederum der Zusammenhang dieses Menschheitszusammenhanges mit dem Kosmos, und wir lernen immer tiefer und tiefer hineinschauen in die geistige Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":175,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-07/p074"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-07-07/p072","GA 112/1909-07-07/p073"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":415,"en_words":437,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9237,"original_word_count":9192,"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/AP1948/19090707p02.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.
