It was necessary then because of profound laws of cosmic-earthly evolution; otherwise, people would not have been able to recognize Him. Now, however, human beings have evolved further and have become capable of penetrating into etheric vision through their soul forces. Christ will thus become visible to human beings in an etheric and not in a physical body. From the middle of the twentieth century on, and continuing for the next 2,500 years, this will happen more and more often. Enough people will by then have experienced the event at Damascus that it will be taken as a common occurrence on the earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Das war aus tiefen Gesetzmäßigkeiten der kosmisch-irdischen Entwickelung damals nötig, weil ihn die Menschen sonst nicht hätten erkennen können. Jetzt aber sind die Menschen weiterentwickelt: sie sind nunmehr fähig geworden, durch ihre Seelenkräfte bis zum äthetischen Sehen hindurchzudringen. Daher wird Christus dem Menschen im ätherischen und nicht im physischen Leibe sichtbar werden. Das alles wird immerhin während der nächsten 2500 Jahre von der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts ab mehr und mehr auftreten. Genügend viele Menschen werden das Ereignis von Damaskus dann selbst erlebt haben, so daß man es als bekanntes Ereignis auf der Erde zuletzt von allen Seiten anerkennen wird. Wir treiben Geisteswissenschaft, damit diese erst schwach auftretenden Fähigkeiten nicht unbemerkt, spurlos an den Menschen vorübergehen, damit die begnadeten Menschen nicht als Träumer und Narren angesehen, sondern von einer kleinen Gruppe Menschen verstanden und gestützt werden, die in ihrem Zusammenhang verhindern, daß der menschliche Unverstand diese zarten Keime und Anlagen brutal zu Tode tritt. Die Geisteswissenschaft soll vielmehr die Möglichkeit vorbereiten, daß sie zur Entwickelung gelangen. Auf diese Fähigkeiten wurde im vorigen Vortrage hingedeutet als auf den Einblick in das Land Schamballa, damit der Mensch die Bedeutung und das Wesen des Christus erkennen könne, dessen Wiedererscheinen nichts anderes ist als ein Hinaufwachsen des Menschen in seiner Erkenntnis.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":229,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/118/1910-03-15/p012"}],"english":["GA 118/1910-03-15/p019","GA 118/1910-03-15/p020"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":229,"en_words":259,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4313,"original_word_count":3954,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Gilbert Church and Alice Wulsin","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/ReapChrist/19100315p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 118/1910-03-15/p012"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
