It will, therefore, sometimes appear as if statements are not always in accord; light must be thrown upon a certain fact sometimes from one side and sometimes from another. Just as it is correct to describe a leaf first from the upper side and then from the lower, while it is one and the same leaf, in the same way do we describe the Luciferic principle correctly when as in previous chapters we speak of it by pursuing the path which the soul has to take to encounter this Luciferic principle. But naturally one may also consider the evolution of our earth and of the world in general more from a super-terrestrial standpoint, and characterise the position of Luciferic beings in the progress of the world from another point of view. We will devote a few words to this subject.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Wir haben also zum Beispiel hervorgehoben, wie der Weg des Menschen zu jenen kosmischen Wesenheiten, in deren Mitte der Christus in der vorchristlichen Zeit war, von dem Menschen aus erkennend nach außen ging, wie aber der Weg in Luzifers Reich nach der anderen Seite in die Seele hineinging, um den Schleier, der die eigene Seele verhüllt, selbst zu durchdringen. Und wir haben hervorgehoben, wie sich das durch die Erscheinung des Christus auf der Erde so geändert hat, daß die beiden Reiche übereinander getreten sind und die Menschheit einer Zeit zueilt, in der der Christus im Innern, Luzifer außen zu suchen sein wird. Wir müssen heute, um mit mancherlei von demjenigen, was ja die meisten von Ihnen schon gehört haben über die luziferischen Wesenheiten, einen Einklang zu schaffen, noch einmal mit ein paar Worten auf das Wesen des luziferischen Prinzips zurückkommen. Die Dinge der Welt sind ja kompliziert, und man kann alles von den verschiedensten Gesichtspunkten aus betrachten. Dadurch wird es manchmal scheinen, weil man eine Sache einmal von der einen, das andere Mal von der anderen Seite beleuchten muß, daß die Dinge nicht ganz im Einklang stehen. Sie stehen aber doch miteinander im Einklang. Wie derjenige ein Blatt richtig beschreibt, der es einmal von der vorderen und einmal von der hinteren Seite beschreibt, und es ist doch ganz dasselbe Blatt, so beschreibt derjenige das luziferische Prinzip richtig, der, wie wir es in den verflossenen Stunden getan haben, es beschreibt, indem er die Wege verfolgt, welche die Seele einzuschlagen hat zu diesem luziferischen Prinzip. Aber man kann natürlich.auch sozusagen mehr von einem außerirdischen Standpunkt aus die Entwickelung unserer Erde und der Welt überhaupt betrachten und dann die Stellung der luziferischen Wesenheiten im Weltfortgang von einem anderen Gesichtspunkt aus charakterisieren. Das wollen wir mit ein paar Worten tun.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":341,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/113/1909-08-30/p003"}],"english":["GA 113/1909-08-30/p002","GA 113/1909-08-30/p003","GA 113/1909-08-30/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":341,"en_words":338,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8854,"original_word_count":8751,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"RSPC1940","book_title":"The East in the Light of the West","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA113/English/RSPC1940/19090830p01.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.
