All other Divinities, with the exception of Jahve or Jehovah, proclaimed themselves in the inmost depths of the human soul, and to acquire any knowledge of them man had to awaken in his soul the faculties of Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition. The men of ancient India gazed at the rising sun, at the different kingdoms of the earth, at the processes manifesting in air and ocean, but regarded all this as a great Illusion, as “Maya”, in which they would have found nothing of a divine nature, had they not first acquired knowledge of the divine through inner Imagination, and then, afterwards, had proceeded to relate this knowledge to the phenomena of the external world. It must be realised that even Zarathustra could not have taught as he did of the mighty Sun-Being had not Ahura Mazdao in his glory been *inwardly* revealed to him. This is especially apparent in the case of the Egyptian divinities, who were first experienced in the inmost depths of the soul and only afterwards related to the things of the external world. All that applies to the Divinities of pre-Hebraic times must be understood in this way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Hebrew People's Mission: Preparing the Body for Christ","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.

Im alten Indien sah man hinaus, sah die Sonne aufgehen, sah die verschiedenen Reiche der Erde, die Vorgänge des Luftkreises, des Meeres und so weiter, aber all das betrachtete man als eine große Täuschung, als Maja, worin der Inder nichts von einer Göttlichkeit gefunden hätte, wenn er sie nicht durch innere Imagination gewonnen und dann hinterher mit den Erscheinungen der Außenwelt in Beziehung gebracht hätte. Auch bei Zarathustra haben wir es uns so zu denken, daß er nicht hätte hinweisen können auf das große Sonnenwesen, wenn ihm nicht im Inneren aufgegangen wäre das große Wesen des Ahura Mazdao. Besonders aber sehen wir dies an den ägyptischen Gottheiten, die ganz aus inneren Seelenerlebnissen herausgeholt und nachher mit äußeren Dingen in Beziehung gebracht werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":177,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/117/1909-11-09/p010"}],"english":["GA 117/1909-11-09/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":177,"en_words":222,"ratio":1.25,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.13,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6798,"original_word_count":5994,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
