This did not strike people as especially wonderful, nor did it seem especially miraculous in those days. A man might then have asked: What is wonderful in spiritual healing being performed by such people? It is quite comprehensible! What is wonderful is what the writer of the Gospel of Matthew says: ‘Here is One Who has brought a new and living force into human nature which enables Him to heal by the impulse of His own ego; by such means healings could not be performed formerly.’ So something quite different from what was usual is here described in the Gospels. The results of occult investigation here put forward by Spiritual Science may be verified in countless ways, and can indeed be proved by historical research.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Beatitudes","site_heading":"Ego-Consciousness and Cosmic Forces in Christ's Healing","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.

Nehmen wir an, ein solcher Mensch wäre Jünger des Christus Jesus geworden, so hätte er gesagt: Wir haben jetzt sehr Merkwürdiges erlebt. Während früher nur solche Menschen, die unter Herabdämpfung des Ich-Bewußtseins die geistigen Kräfte in den Mysterien aufgenommen haben, seelische Heiler werden konnten, haben wir jetzt einen erlebt, der es wurde ohne die Mysterienprozeduren, unter Aufrechterhaltung des Ich. - Nicht etwa das war das Auffällige, daß geistige Heilungen überhaupt vollzogen wurden. Daß in den Kapiteln des Matthäus-Evangeliums von einem geistigen Heiler erzählt wird, wäre einem solchen Menschen gar nicht besonders wunderbar vorgekommen. Er hätte gesagt: Was ist Wunderbares dabei, daß solche Leute geistig heilen? Das ist selbstverständlich! - Und die Aufzählung solcher Heilungen wäre für die damalige Zeit nicht ein besonderes Wunder gewesen. Das aber ist das Bedeutungsvolle, daß der Schreiber des Matthäus-Evangeliums erzählt: Da ist einer, der eine neue Wesenskraft in die Menschheit gebracht hat, der aus dem Impuls seines Ich, aus dem man früher nicht heilen konnte, Heilungen vollzog, indem er dieselbe Kraft dabei heranzog, mit Hilfe deren man früher nicht heilen konnte. - Also etwas ganz anderes wird in den Evangelien erzählt, als man gewöhnlich meint. Zahlreiche Beweise, auch historische, könnten dafür erbracht werden, daß es richtig ist, was die Geisteswissenschaft aus okkulten Quellen heraus feststellt. Wir wollen nur eines zum Beweise heranführen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-10/p008"}],"english":["GA 123/1910-09-10/p010","GA 123/1910-09-10/p011"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":274,"en_words":268,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.93,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6754,"original_word_count":7246,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSPC1946","book_title":"The Gospel of St. Matthew (1946)","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA123/English/RSPC1946/19100910p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
