Then too he learns to know himself in his own archetypal form as a soul-and-spirit being in the world of soul and spirit. He has wrestled his way through to a perception of his Higher Self, and now sees clearly what he has still to achieve in order to gain control over his Double, the “Guardian of the Threshold” who stands there before him, continually calling upon him to work on further at his development. This “Greater Guardian of the Threshold” now becomes for him the Ideal, the Example that he will do his utmost to follow. Having once come to this resolve, the pupil will be enabled to recognize who it is that is there before him as the “Greater Guardian of the Threshold.” For now this Greater Guardian changes for the eyes of the pupil into the figure of Christ, whose nature and whose part in the evolution of Earth have been explained in the earlier chapters of this book. Through this experience the pupil is initiated into the sublime Mystery that is connected with the name of Christ. Christ shows himself to him as the great human Prototype and Example, united with the Earth's true evolution.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":266,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/13/l05/p129","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.

Er wird dann erkennen, wie das Verständnis des in diesem Buche geschilderten Weltprozesses notwendig ist, um den Menschen und dessen Leben selbst zu verstehen. Man versteht ja den physischen Leib nur, wenn man erkennt, wie er sich aufgebaut hat durch die Saturn-, Sonnen-, Mondenund Erdenentwicklung. Man versteht den Ätherleib; wenn man seine Bildung durch Sonnen-, Mondenund Erdenentwicklung verfolgt usw. Man versteht aber auch dasjenige, was gegenwärtig mit der Erdenentwicklung zusammenhängt, wenn man erkennt, wie sich alles nach und nach entfaltet hat. Man wird durch die Geistesschulung in den Stand gesetzt, das Verhältnis von allem, was am Menschen ist, zu entsprechenden Tatsachen und Wesenheiten der außer dem Menschen befindlichen Welt zu erkennen. Denn so ist es: jedes Glied am Menschen steht in einem Verhältnis zu der ganzen übrigen Welt. In diesem Buche konnten darüber ja nur die Andeutungen im skizzenhaften Umriss gemacht werden. Man muss aber bedenken, dass zum Beispiel der physische Menschenleib während der Saturnentwicklung nur in der ersten Anlage vorhanden war. Seine Organe: das Herz, die Lunge, das Gehirn haben sich später, während der Sonnen-, Mondenund Erdenzeit, aus den ersten Anlagen herausgebildet. So also stehen Herz, Lunge, usw. in Beziehungen zu Sonnen-, Mondenentwicklung, Erdenentwicklung. Ganz entsprechend ist es mit den Gliedern des Ätherleibes, des Empfindungsleibes, der Empfindungsseele usw. Es ist der Mensch aus der ganzen, ihm zunächst liegenden Welt herausgestaltet; und jede Einzelheit, die an ihm ist, entspricht einem Vorgange, einem Wesen der Außenwelt. Der Geistesschüler kommt auf der entsprechenden Stufe seiner Entwicklung dazu, dieses Verhältnis seines eigenen Wesens zur großen Welt zu erkennen. Und man kann diese Erkenntnisstufe das Gewahrwerden nennen des Entsprechens der «kleinen Welt», des Mikrokosmos, das ist des Menschen selbst, und der «großen Welt», des Makrokosmos. Wenn der Geistesschüler bis zu solcher Erkenntnis sich durchgerungen hat, dann kann für ihn ein neues Erlebnis eintreten. Er fängt an, sich wie mit dem ganzen Weltenbau verwachsen zu fühlen, trotzdem er sich in seiner vollen Selbständigkeit empfindet. Es ist diese Empfindung ein Aufgehen in die ganze Welt, ein Einswerden mit derselben, aber ohne die eigene Wesenheit zu verlieren. Man kann diese Entwicklungsstufe als «Einswerden mit dem Makrokosmos» bezeichnen. Es ist bedeutsam, dass man dieses Einswerden nicht so zu denken hat, als wenn durch dasselbe das Sonderbewusstsein aufhören und die menschliche Wesenheit in das All ausfließen würde. Es wäre ein solcher Gedanke nur der Ausdruck einer aus ungeschulter Urteilskraft fließenden Meinung. Die einzelnen Stufen der höheren Erkenntnis im Sinne jenes Einweihungsvorganges, der hier beschrieben worden ist, können nun in der folgenden Art bezeichnet werden:\n1. Das Studium der Geisteswissenschaft, wobei man sich zunächst der Urteilskraft bedient, welche man in der physisch-sinnlichen Welt gewonnen hat.\n2. Die Erwerbung der imaginativen Erkenntnis.\n3. Das Lesen der verborgenen Schrift (entsprechend der Inspiration).\n4. Das Sicheinleben in die geistige Umgebung (entsprechend der Intuition).\n5. Die Erkenntnis der Verhältnisse von Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos.\n6. Das Einswerden mit dem Makrokosmos.\n7. Das Gesamterleben der vorherigen Erfahrungen als eine Grund-Seelenstimmung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":513,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/13/l05/p061"},{"locus":"GA 13/l05/p062","passage_number":62,"text":"Diese Stufen brauchen aber nicht etwa so gedacht zu werden, dass sie nacheinander durchgemacht werden. Die Schulung kann vielmehr so verlaufen, dass je nach der Individualität des Geistesschülers eine vorhergehende Stufe nur bis zu einem gewissen Grade durchschritten ist, wenn er beginnt, Übungen zu machen, welche der folgenden Stufe entsprechen. Es kann zum Beispiel ganz gut sein, dass man erst einige Imaginationen in sicherer Art gewonnen hat und doch schon Übungen macht, welche die Inspiration, die Intuition oder die Erkenntnis vom Zusammenhange des Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos in den Bereich des eigenen Erlebens ziehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":93,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/13/l05/p062"}],"beads":[{"from":[127],"to":[61],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[128],"to":[62],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
