But long, long ages will have to pass before all men are mature enough to produce *out of their own souls* what Buddha was the first to bring to expression in the form of pure knowledge. For to develop certain faculties in later ages is not the same as to bring them forth for the first time from the depths of the human soul. Let us take another example. To-day, even the young are able to assimiliate the principles of logic and unfold logical thinking. Logical thinking is now one of the general faculties possessed by man and developed from his own inner nature. But it was in Aristotle, the great Greek thinker, that this faculty first arose from a human soul. There is a difference between bringing forth something for the first time from the soul and bringing it forth after it has already been developing for a period in humanity.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Buddhistic Conceptions in St. Luke","site_heading":"Buddha's Compassion Reborn in Luke's Healing Love","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wenn wir dies nachempfinden, bekommen wir eine Ahnung davon, welche Bedeutung und welche Größe jene bedeutsame Individualität hatte, die sich in dem Königssohne aus dem Sakya-Geschlecht damals verkörpert hatte. Was der Buddha auf diese Weise wiedererkennen konnte, und wohinein er schauen konnte, von dem wußte er aber auch: Das ist eine Welt, welche die Menschen mit ihrem gewöhnlichen Anschauen der unmittelbaren Gegenwart und nächsten Zukunft wieder verlassen mußten. Nur Eingeweihte, zu denen ja der Buddha selber gehörte, können hinein- schauen in die geistige Welt; aber für die normale Menschheit war dazu die Möglichkeit verlorengegangen. Die Erbstücke alter hellseherischer Anschauung waren immer geringer geworden. Da Buddha nicht bloß von dem zu sprechen hatte, was der Eingeweihte zu sagen hat, sondern da er vor allem die Mission hatte, den Menschen zu erzählen von den Kräften, die aus der eigenen menschlichen Seele herausfließen sollen, so konnte er nicht nur hinweisen auf die Ergebnisse seiner Erleuchtung, sondern er sagte sich: Ich muß sprechen von dem, wozu die Menschen kommen können, zwar durch eine höhere, aber doch durch eine Entwickelung ihrer eigenen inneren Wesenheit, durch Entwickelung dessen, was in dieser Zeitepoche ist. Nach und nach werden die Menschen im Laufe der Erdenentwickelung aus ihrer Seele, aus ihrem Herzen heraus den Inhalt der Lehre des Buddha erkennen als etwas, was ihnen ihre eigene Vernunft, ihr eigenes Gemüt sagt. Aber es wird noch viel, viel Zeit hin fließen müssen, bevor alle Menschen reif werden, um sozusagen aus der eigenen Seele das hervorzuholen, was der Buddha zuerst wie eine rein menschliche Erkenntnis ausgesprochen hat. Denn es ist etwas anderes, in späteren Zeiten gewisse Fähigkeiten zu entwickeln, und etwas anderes, sie zuerst hervorzuholen aus den tiefen Schächten des menschlichen Gemüts.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":339,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/114/1909-09-17/p011"},{"locus":"GA 114/1909-09-17/p012","passage_number":12,"text":"Nehmen Sie dazu ein anderes Beispiel.
