Spiritual research detracts not from that life by an iota, robs it of nothing; but the view commonly held regarding it—before penetrating it with the eye of the spirit—is erroneous, and this error must come to signify life's illusion. This we must let perish in us; then the seed we have acquired by means of an illusion will blossom into a higher life. But only if we receive into ourselves the living, spiritual point of view can this come about: Far from making us ascetic in our lives, it is precisely thereby that we learn to know life in its true form, to master it in the right way, and to endow it with genuine fruitfulness. In proportion as we experience spiritual science itself in a Christian way we christianize life, and we experience that image of life which we have learned to see in death. As we adopt spiritual science as our way of thinking, in the same measure will we—not become estranged from life, but rather, discover in what way our view of this life is faulty. Then, strengthened by a true conception of it, we shall enter it as active workers. There will be no withdrawing from life, for we shall have gained power and strength from studies that lead us into the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Die Menschen leben in ihm. Die Geistesforschung wird dieses Leben um kein Atom verkleinern, nichts nehmen von diesem Leben. Aber die Anschauung, die man gewöhnlich von die sein Leben hat, bevor man es mit dem Geiste durchschaut, ist eine unrichtige, und dieses Unrichtige muß uns als die Illusion des Lebens erscheinen. Diese Illusion des Lebens müssen wir in uns ersterben lassen; dann wird aus dem Samen, den wir uns durch eine Illusion erworben haben, in uns ein höheres Leben werden. Das aber kann nur dadurch werden, daß wir die lebendige geistige Anschauung in uns aufnehmen. Dadurch machen wir uns im Leben nicht asketisch, sondern gerade dadurch lernen wir das Leben in seiner wirklichen Gestalt erkennen und tragen in das Leben hinaus eine richtige Lebensbeherrschung, eine richtige Frucht. Dadurch aber verchristlichen wir das Leben in dem Maße, als wir die Geisteswissenschaft selber christlich erleben, und wir erleben ein Abbild dessen, wie der Tod ein Abbild des Lebens wird. In demselben Maße, als wir die Geisteswissenschaft zu unserer Gesinnung machen, entfremden wir uns nicht etwa dem Leben, sondern lernen erkennen, was an unseren Anschauungen von diesem Leben unrichtig ist. Und dann gehen wir gestärkt durch eine richtige Anschauung in dieses Leben hinaus, gehen als Arbeitsame in das Leben, dem wir uns nicht entziehen, nachdem wir Kraft und Stärke gewonnen haben innerhalb einer solchen Betrachtung, die uns in die geistige Welt einführt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":242,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-07/p076"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-07-07/p076"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":242,"en_words":237,"ratio":0.98,"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.
