And so we see how spiritual science presents the loftiest ideals to us and tells us what we will become — Christ-like human beings — when the Earth will become a corpse and fall away from the soul-like in man, when man will be called upon to progress to other planetary conditions. Spiritual science can thus give us the greatest ideals and can flow into the smallest circumstances of life. In this way it becomes practical for everyday life, and it can and should become more and more so. When we become anthroposophists in the sense that all our actions, no matter how remote from what might be considered anthroposophical activity, are imbued with anthroposophical thinking and feeling, only then can we say that our beings have been imbued with anthroposophy. Anthroposophy must be regarded not as a theory but as a way of life, but as a way of life that needs to be learned. And basically we must realize that we have to encourage ourselves through the true, concrete content of anthroposophy if it is to be a way of life for us, not wanting to say: I understand this from anthroposophy and that is the right thing to do, but rather that we first have to familiarize ourselves deeply with what spiritual science has to say to us. Then it must become the strength of our lives. And it can only do so when we permeate ourselves with it. But then it will do so in the smallest and in the greatest, then the perspective for the connections of human progress and for the smallest facts of everyday life will open up for us.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VIII.

Und so sehen wir, wie Geisteswissenschaft im großen die hehrsten Ideale vor uns hinstellt und uns sagt, was aus uns werden wird — verchristete Menschen -—, wenn die Erde ein Leichnam werden wird und abfällt vom Seelenhaften des Menschen, wenn der Mensch berufen werden wird, fortzuschreiten zu anderen planetarischen Zuständen. Die größten Ideale kann uns die Geisteswissenschaft also geben und in die kleinsten Lebensverhältnisse kann sie hineinfließen. Dadurch wird sie Jebenspraktisch, und das kann und soll sie mehr und mehr werden. Wenn wir Anthroposophen in dem Sinn werden, daß all unser Gebaren - und wenn es auf diesem oder jenem Platze des Lebens steht, der von eigentlich anthroposophischer Betätigung scheinbar noch so sehr entfernt ist - in allen Einzelheiten von anthroposophischer Gesinnung, von anthroposophischem Sinnen und Denken durchdrungen wird, dann erst ist das gekommen, was man nennen kann Erfüllung unseres Wesens mit der Anthroposophie. Anthroposophie muß nicht als eine Theorie, sie muß zugleich als eine Lebenspraxis betrachtet werden, aber als eine Lebenspraxis, die eben gelernt sein will. Und im Grunde genommen müssen wir uns klar sein, daß wir uns aneifern müssen, durch den wahren konkreten Inhalt der Anthroposophie, wenn sie Lebenspraxis für uns sein soll, nicht sagen zu wollen: Ich verstehe das von der Anthroposophie, und das ist das Richtige -, sondern, daß wir uns erst tief, tief bekanntmachen mit dem, was uns Geisteswissenschaft zu sagen hat. Dann muß sie uns Kraft des Lebens werden. Und das kann sie erst, wenn wir uns mit ihr durchdringen. Dann wird sie es aber im Kleinsten und im Größten, dann eröffnet sich uns die Perspektive für die Zusammenhänge des Menschenfortschritts und für die kleinsten Tatsachen des Alltagslebens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":318,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/125/1910-12-11/p035"}],"english":["GA 125/1910-12-11/p035"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":318,"en_words":330,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8203,"original_word_count":8019,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Paths and Goals of Spiritual Man","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA125/English/SOL2024/19101211p01.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.
