The images of all that had gone before, all that had been experienced, stood before him. Thus the Jesus of Nazareth experienced what was in him, what had gradually moved into him. He saw all this in himself. That was the greatest moment on earth that has ever been experienced. In the etheric body, what would have become of humanity if it had not descended to the luciferic influences was revealed: the image of the perfectly pure human being. And what was revealed in his astral body? What Gautama Buddha had experienced was revealed to his soul. Gautama Buddha had seen as an enlightened being back into the entire development of the earth. He had seen how man had become more and more material with each incarnation. Therefore, Buddha could only reflect on what could help people to rise above physical incarnation. A doctrine of pain: everything is suffering. The doctrine of liberation from the earthly body. Therefore, he gave instructions in the doctrine of compassion and love: to attain what could free people. Salvation would have been achieved from suffering. But then the earthly existence would have been lost for people. Buddhism is a religion of salvation. Christianity is a religion of resurrection. Nothing should be lost. Everything should be led over into the spirit. You should consider yourselves as disciples, bringing everything into the spiritual worlds in order to resurrect it in the higher sense. Christianity is a religion of resurrection and revival. The Buddha's ultimate purpose is to free us from pain. The ultimate purpose of Christianity is to transform pain into bliss.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"The Baptism: Ego-Consciousness and Christ's Cosmic Redemption","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.

Die Bilder all des Vorangegangenen, Erlebten standen vor ihm. So erlebte der Jesus von Nazareth, was in ihm war, was nach und nach eingezogen war in ihn. Er sah alles das in sich selber. Das war der größte Erdenaugenblick, der überhaupt je erlebt worden ist. Am Ätherleib stellte sich dar, was aus der Menschheit geworden wäre, wenn sie nicht hinuntergestiegen wäre zu den luziferischen Einflüssen: das Bild des vollkommenen reinen Menschen. Und was stellte sich dar in seinem Astralleibe? Das stand vor seiner Seele, was der Gautama Buddha erlebt hatte. Der Gautama Buddha hatte geschaut als ein Erleuchteter zurück in die ganze Erdentwicklung. Er hatte gesehen, wie der Mensch mit jeder Inkarnation immer materieller geworden war. Daher konnte Buddha nur nachsinnen über das, was den Menschen hinausbringen kann über die physische Inkarnation. Eine Lehre des Schmerzes: Alles ist Leiden. Die Lehre von der Befreiung vom Erdenleibe. Daher gab er eine Anleitung in der Lehre von Mitleid und Liebe: das zu erlangen, was die Menschen befreien konnte. Erlösung wäre erreicht worden vom Leide. Aber es wäre das Erdendasein verloren gegangen für die Menschen. Eine Erlösungsreligion ist der Buddhismus. Eine Auferstehungsreligion ist das Christentum. Nichts soll verloren gehen. Alles soll hinübergeführt werden in den Geist. Ihr sollt euch als Schüler betrachten, alles hereinbringen in die geistigen Welten, um es im höheren Sinne auferstehen zu lassen. - Eine Auferweckungs- und Auferstehungsreligion ist das Christentum. Befreiung von den Schmerzen ist der letzte Sinn des Buddha. Verwandlung des Schmerzes in Seligkeit ist letzter Sinn des Christentums.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":273,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/117a/1910-01-07/p021"}],"english":["GA 117a/1910-01-07/p021"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":273,"en_words":286,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2505,"original_word_count":2341,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Gospel of John and the Three Other Gospels","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA117a/English/SOL2024/19100107p01.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.
