It is not enough to lecture about anthroposophical principles; what matters is to transform them into *feeling*; nor should we talk of tolerance and at the same time be intolerant because of predilection for some particular religion. We are truly tolerant only when we measure each religion by its own standard and understand the fundamental character of each.—Naturally, when we speak of the different systems of religion having worked together to bring Christianity into existence, this is not due to our own particular viewpoint. The truth is that in those lofty heights where the great spiritual Beings are at work, events have been different from those caused by the actions of adherents of particular religions on the Earth. For example a Council was summoned in Tibet to establish an orthodox doctrine connected with the name of the Buddha at the very time when the real Buddha had descended from higher spheres in order to let his inspiration flow into the astral body of the Jesus of the Luke Gospel. What happens again and again is that adherents of a religion on the Earth cling to what has continued as an aftermath on Earth. The work of the Gods has, however, been carried meanwhile to further stages in order that progress may be possible for humanity. Progress is best achieved when men endeavor to understand their Gods, to keep pace with the progress made by the Gods who are looking upon them. From this realisation there should grow in us a living understanding of the Gospels.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XII","site_heading":"Divine Beings Descending: Christ as the Greatest Avatar","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.

Es handelt sich nicht darum, daß wir bloß anthroposophische Grundsätze predigen, sondern daß wir sie in lebendiges Gefühl umsetzen, daß wir nicht bloß von Toleranz sprechen und intolerant sind, weil wir Vorliebe haben für irgendein besonderes Religionssystem der Erde. Tolerant sind wir nur, wenn wir ein jegliches mit seinem eigenen Maß messen und jedes aus sich selbst heraus verstehen. - Es ist gewiß nicht unsere Schuld und keine Schuld unserer besonderen Vorliebe, daß die verschiedenen Religionssysteme sichtlich zusammengewirkt haben, um das Christentum zustande zu bringen. Wahrhaftig, in den geistigen Höhen, wo die großen geistigen Wesenheiten gewirkt haben, ist es anders zugegangen als da, wo ihre Bekenner auf der Erde gewirkt haben. Diese Bekenner auf der Erde haben zum Beispiel ein Konzil in Tibet berufen, um eine orthodoxe Lehre an den Namen des Buddha anzuknüpfen in der Zeit, als der wirkliche Buddha herabgestiegen ist, um den astralischen Leib des Lukas-Jesus zu inspirieren. So ist es immer: Die Bekenner auf Erden schwören auf das, was nachwirkt auf der Erde; die Götterwesen aber wirken mittlerweile weiter, damit die Menschheit vorwärtskommen kann. Aber am besten kommt die Menschheit vorwärts, wenn die Menschen versuchen, ihre Götter zu verstehen, wenn sie versuchen, einen ähnlichen Fortschritt zu gehen wie die Götter, indem diese auf die Menschen herunterblicken.
