At the wedding at Cana, he gave proof for the first time of this willpower, which was so strong and so pure that it could, as it were, pass into other people and determine the impressions [of those] who received it. How should we understand this? Let us assume that two people are standing next to each other and one of them drinks a glass of water. If the other person is capable of a strong volitional impulse, he can influence the taste organ of the other person in such a way that the water in his mouth tastes like something completely different, like wine, for example. For our experiences do not depend so much on the material that conveys the impressions, but rather on our way of reacting to the impressions we receive. Thus, wine or water becomes something completely different for us, depending on whether we look at it from a materialistic or a spiritual point of view.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Sixth Lecture","site_heading":"Astral Encounters and Christ's Transformative Spiritual Power","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.

Bei der Hochzeit zu Kana gab er zum ersten Mal einen Beweis dieser Willenskraft, die so stark und so rein war, dass sie gleichsam in andere Menschen übergehen und die Eindrücke bestimmen konnte [von denen], die sie empfingen. Wie sollen wir das verstehen? Lassen Sie uns annehmen, dass zwei Personen nebeneinander stehen, und der eine trinkt ein Glas Wasser. Wenn jetzt der eine eines kräftigen Willensimpulses fähig ist, so kann er auf das Geschmacksorgan des andern Menschen so einwirken, dass das Wasser in seinem Munde nach etwas ganz anderem, zum Beispiel nach Wein, schmeckt. Denn unsere Erlebnisse beruhen nicht, so sehr auf dem Materiellen, das die Eindrücke vermittelt, sondern vielmehr auf unserer Art, auf die Eindrücke zu reagieren, die wir bekommen. So wird Wein oder Wasser etwas ganz anderes für uns, je nachdem wir es von einem materialistischen oder einem geistigen Gesichtspunkt betrachten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":166,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/117a/1910-01-10/p024"}],"english":["GA 117a/1910-01-10/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":166,"en_words":185,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3323,"original_word_count":3119,"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/SOL2024/19100110p01.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.
