It was therefore far more possible in those early times for healing to be brought about by forces of the soul. With its far greater power, the soul was able to permeate a disordered body with the forces of healing drawn from the spiritual world, so that harmony might again be established. In the course of advancing evolution this power of the soul over the body had been gradually diminishing. Processes of healing in olden times were therefore *spiritual* processes to a far greater extent than was the case later on. Those who were regarded as doctors were not doctors in the modern, physical sense, but most of them were healers who worked upon the body by way of the soul. They purified the soul,instilled healthy feelings, impulses and will-forces into it through the spiritual influences they were able to bring to bear. This might have taken place either in the condition of ordinary waking life, in the so-called ‘temple sleep’, or in something akin to it—which at that time simply meant inducing a state in which a man became clairvoyant. In studying conditions of civilization at that time, therefore, it must be realised that those who were strong enough in soul to draw upon forces they had themselves acquired, were able to make a very real effect upon the souls of other men and therewith upon their bodies. So too, those who were in some way permeated with spirit and from whom forces of healing were known to radiate into their surroundings, were also called ‘healers’. As a matter of fact, not only the Therapeutae but the Essenes too, in a certain sense, would have to be called healers. Moreover in a certain dialect current in Asia Minor among those associated with the birth of Christianity, the word ‘Jesus’ was the translation of the expression ‘spiritual healer’. ‘Jesus’ expresses ‘spiritual physician’ and it is a fairly correct interpretation.[^1] This is an indication of what was associated with names and designations in an age when men still felt that they pointed to certain realities.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture X","site_heading":"Christ's Ego-Consciousness and Cosmic Healing 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.

Daher war es damals in viel größerem Maße möglich, zu heilen von der Seele aus. Die Seele hatte viel mehr Macht, so daß sie den Leib durchsetzen konnte mit den aus der geistigen Welt geholten gesund wirkenden Kräften, wenn der Leib in Unordnung gekommen war, um ihn wieder von sich aus in Harmonie, in Ordnung zu bringen. Diese Macht der Seele über den Leib hat allmählich abgenommen. Das ist der Gang der fortgehenden Entwickelung. Daher waren die Heilprozesse in alten Zeiten in weit gröBerem Maße als später geistige Heilprozesse. Und diejenigen, die als Ärzte galten, waren nicht im heutigen Sinne physische Ärzte, sondern zum großen Teil Heiler in dem Sinne, daß sie auf den Leib auf dem Umwege durch die Seele wirkten. Sie reinigten die Seele und durchsetzten sie mit gesunden Empfindungen, Impulsen und Willenskräften durch die geistig-seelischen Einflüsse, die sie ausüben konnten, sei es im gewöhnlichen Zustande der physischen Wahrnehmung, sei es in dem sogenannten Tempelschlaf oder dergleichen, was ja auch für die damalige Zeit nichts anderes war als eine Art Versetzen des Menschen in einen hellseherischen Zustand.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":219,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-10_02/p006"},{"locus":"GA 123/1910-09-10_02/p007","passage_number":7,"text":"Wenn man also die damaligen Kulturverhältnisse berücksichtigt, muß man durchaus darauf hinweisen, daß diejenigen, die stark an Seele waren und appellieren konnten an das, was sie selbst aufgenommen hatten, damals in beträchtlichem Maße auf die Seelen wirken konnten und damit auch auf die Leiber. Daher kam es auch, daß solche Menschen, die irgendwie geistdurchdrungen waren, und von denen man wußte, daß sie heilende Kräfte ausströmten in die Umgebung, auch mit dem Ausdruck «Heiler» bezeichnet wurden. Und im Grunde genommen müßte man nicht nur die Therapeuten, sondern auch die Essäer in einer gewissen Weise als Heiler bezeichnen. Ja, wir müssen weitergehen: In einer gewissen Mundart Vorderasiens, in welcher sich besonders diejenigen ausgedrückt haben, aus welchen das Christentum hervorgewachsen ist, ist die Übersetzung dessen, was wir bezeichnen würden als «geistigen Heiler», das Wort Jesus. Jesus bedeutet im Grunde genommen «geistiger Arzt». Das ist eine ziemlich richtige Übersetzung, namentlich wenn man auf die Gefühlswerte geht. Und damit könnten Sie zu gleicher Zeit auch ein Licht werfen auf alles, was man bei solchem Namen empfand in einer Zeit, wo man bei Namen noch etwas fühlte.
