It denotes the founding of the humanity of the future—a humanity based upon the Ego-nature in man. What takes place in this intimate conversation between Christ and those who were closest to Him is that Christ transmits the power He Himself has brought from the Macrocosm to what the disciples are to establish. And from this point onwards the Gospel of St. Matthew recounts how the disciples are led upwards, step by step, to the stage where the powers of the Sun and of the Cosmos gathered together in the Christ Being can flow into them. We know that one form of Initiation is an expansion into the Macrocosm. And because Christ Himself is the impulse in this Initiation, He leads His disciples out into the Cosmos. While an individual aspirant is undergoing the process of this Initiation he passes consciously into the Macrocosm, gathering knowledge of it by degrees. Christ descends as it were from the Macrocosm, makes manifest its instreaming forces and conveys them to the disciples.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XI","site_heading":"Peter's Recognition and the Foundation of Ego-Consciousness","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.

So spinnt sich dadurch, daß die Fäden der einzelnen verwoben werden in das Karma der ganzen Gesellschaft, ein Netz. Und dieses Netz soll durch das, was der Christus heruntergebracht hat aus geistigen Höhen, in seiner Charakteristik ein Abbild sein der Ordnung am Himmel, das heißt, nach der Ordnung der geistigen Welt soll das Karma des einzelnen mit dem Gesamtkarma verbunden sein, nicht in beliebiger Weise, sondern so, daß der Gemeindeorganismus ein Abbild der Ordnung im Himmel werde. Damit beginnt diese Szene des sogenannten Petrus-Bekenntnisses für die, welche anfangen sie zu verstehen, einen unendlichen tiefen Sinn zu haben. Es ist sozusagen die Stiftung der auf die Ich-Natur gebauten Menschheit der Zukunft. Das ist es, was in diesem vertraulichen Gespräch zwischen dem Christus und seinen nächsten Schülern sich abspielt, daß der Christus überträgt die Kraft, die er aus dem Makrokosmos herunterbringt, auf das, was die Jünger stiften sollen. Und von jetzt ab ist es im Matthäus-Evangelium Schritt für Schritt ein Hinaufführen der Jünger zu dem, was in sie einfließen kann von der Sonnenkraft und Kosmoskraft, welche die Christus-Wesenheit sammelt, um sie auf die Jünger zu übertragen. Wir wissen ja, daß die eine Seite der Initiation ein Hinausgehen in den Makrokosmos ist. Und weil der Christus der Impuls zu einer solchen Initiation ist, deshalb führt er seine Jünger, indem er sie führt, hinaus in den Kosmos. Wie der einzelne zu Initiierende, wenn er diese Initiation durchmacht, bewußt hineinwächst in den Makrokosmos und Stück für Stück von ihm kennenlernt, so schreitet der Christus gleichsam den Makrokosmos ab, zeigt überall die Kräfte, die da spielen und hereinströmen, und überträgt sie auf die Jünger.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":301,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-11_02/p026"}],"english":["GA 123/1910-09-11_02/p031","GA 123/1910-09-11_02/p032"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":301,"en_words":302,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7050,"original_word_count":7447,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
