Of course you must never lose sight of our essential preoccupation as Anthroposophists, which is with the facts of spiritual life. All our lectures are concerned first and foremost with the circumstances of spiritual life, of spiritual evolution. So too what is of primary importance as regards the Genesis story is to ascertain what were the supersensible events, the supersensible facts, which preceded the visible course of our earth's evolution. Only after that do we think it specially important to fmd confirmed in ancient documents of various ages and various peoples what we have first established independently of any documents, out of spiritual investigation itself. It helps us to acquire the proper feeling, the right attitude of reverence for what resounds in our hearts from far-off ages. We are able to come to an understanding with those times, which we ourselves have lived through in other bodies; we are able to form a link with what must have affected us in past epochs. This is how we have to understand the underlying purpose of this course of lectures.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6. Elementary Existence and the Spiritual Beings behind it.

Ich bitte Sie allerdings, bei allen solchen Auseinandersetzungen niemals den eigentlichen anthroposophischen Gesichtspunkt aus den Augen zu verlieren. Dieser anthroposophische Gesichtspunkt ist ja zunächst der, auf die Tatsachen des geistigen Lebens selber zu gehen. In erster Linie also interessiert uns bei allem, was wir besprechen, die Frage: Wie verhalten sich die Dinge im geistigen Leben, in der geistigen Entwickelung? — Also auch für das, was sich für uns mit den Berichten der Genesis deckt, ist die Hauptsache, was dem sichtbaren Entwickelungsgang unseres Erdenwerdens an übersinnlichen Ereignissen und Tatsachen vorangegangen ist. Und dann erst ist es für uns von besonderer Wichtigkeit, das, was wir zunächst unabhängig von allen Urkunden aus der geistigen Forschung selbst heraus festgestellt haben, wiederzufinden in den Urkunden der verschiedenen Zeiten, der verschiedenen Völker. Dadurch gewinnen wir die Möglichkeit, uns in das richtige Gefühlsverhältnis, in das richtige Achtungsverhältnis zu dem zu setzen, was aus fernen Zeiten und Völkern her in unser Gemüt hineintönt. Wir gewinnen dadurch die Möglichkeit, gleichsam uns zu verständigen mit denjenigen Zeiten, die wir ja in anderen Verkörperungen selber durchlebt haben, die Möglichkeit, wieder anzuknüpfen an das, was uns berührt haben muß in vergangenen Zeiträumen. So haben wir den Gesichtspunkt, der dieser Vortragsreihe zugrunde liegt, aufzufassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/122/1910-08-22/p003"}],"english":["GA 122/1910-08-22/p002","GA 122/1910-08-22/p003"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":231,"en_words":208,"ratio":0.9,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5876,"original_word_count":6153,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy Lenn and Owen Barfield","identified_edition":"RSP1982","book_title":"Genesis","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA122/English/RSP1982/19100822p01.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.
