But the occult teacher knows to what things and entities these pictures pertain in a still higher world. If the student has confidence in him, he can know that later connections will be revealed to him, which he cannot yet penetrate. In the physical world, the objects in space were themselves his guides. He was in a position to prove the accuracy of his inner picturings of them. The corporeal reality is the “rock” upon which all hallucinations and illusions must be shattered. This rock disappears into an abyss when the imaginative world is entered. Therefore the teacher must serve as another such rock. From what he is able to offer, the student must sense the reality of the new world. From this it can be judged what great confidence in the teacher must exist in any occult training worthy of the name. When he can no longer believe in the teacher, it is exactly the same in this higher world as if in the physical world everything on which his faith in the reality of his perceptions had been built were suddenly taken from him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Hat der Schüler zu ihm Vertrauen, so kann er wissen, daß sich ihm später Zusammenhänge offenbaren werden, welche er vorläufig noch nicht durchschaut. In der physischen Welt waren die Gegenstände im Räume selbst die Führer. Er war imstande, die Richtigkeit seiner Vorstellungen zu prüfen. Die körperliche Wirklichkeit ist der «Fels», an dem alle Halluzinationen und Illusionen zerschellen müssen. Dieser Fels verschwindet in einen Abgrund, wenn man in die imaginative Welt eintritt. Und deshalb muß als ein anderer solcher «Fels» der «Führer» eintreten. An dem, was er dem Schüler zu bieten vermag, muß dieser die Wirklichkeit der neuen Welt empfinden. Man kann daraus ermessen, wie groß das Vertrauen in den Führer sein muß in jeder Geheimschulung, welche dieses Namens wirklich wert ist. Sobald man an den Führer nicht mehr glauben kann, ist es ja in dieser höheren Welt so, wie wenn einem in der physischen plötzlich alles genommen würde, worauf man den Glauben an die Wirklichkeit seiner Wahrnehmungen gebaut hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":199,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/12/l02/p012"}],"english":["GA 12/l02/p012"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":199,"en_words":208,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 12/l02/p012"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3721,"original_word_count":3692,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
