We can learn, without any doubt, that we can take something different with us into our following incarnations, in our deepest soul, in our deepest feeling, if we imbue ourselves with Spiritual Science, than we could if we kept aloof from it. Nowadays we are certainly not expected to take in as an abstract theory what Spiritual Science can give us. What your souls receive, what enters into you like a theory, is there so that it can come alive in you. And this happens with some people in this incarnation and with others in the next. It will become real, immediate life, the life we cannot conceive of unless we devote ourselves to that prophetic vision which prompts us to ask: where does this development lead? With all its fruits it leads straight into outer life. And what we can only express in the form of words today, will become vision, vision in the young, vision in the old, vision that brings blessing.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Da können wir ganz besonders lernen, dass wir in unserer tiefsten Seele, in unserem tiefsten Fühlen etwas anderes mitnehmen können in die folgenden Inkarnationen, wenn wir uns durchdringen mit der geistigen Wissenschaft, als wenn wir uns ihr fernhalten. Wir sind ja heute fürwahr nicht darauf angewiesen, dass wir wie eine abstrakte Lehre, wie eine Theorie aufnehmen das, was uns Geisteswissenschaft geben kann. Das, was Ihre Seelen aufnehmen, was sich in sie senkt wie eine Theorie, es ist dazu da, dass alles Leben wird. Und das, was so Leben wird, wirkt bei manchen Menschen schon heute, schon in dieser Inkarnation, sonst in der nächsten. Es wird wirkliches, unmittelbares Leben, ein Leben, von dem wir nur eine Vorstellung haben können, wenn wir uns jenem prophetischen Blick hingeben, der ja sagt: Wohin geht denn diese Entwicklung? Sie geht mit all den Früchten in das unmittelbare äußere Dasein über. Und dasjenige, was wir heute nur sagen können, heute nur aussprechen können, nur unseren Worten einverleiben können, wird Blick, Blick bei den Jüngeren, Blick bei den Älteren, Blick, der beseligend wirkt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":208,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/130/1911-09-19/p008"}],"english":["GA 130/1911-09-19/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":208,"en_words":196,"ratio":0.94,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5674,"original_word_count":5196,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Pauline Wehrle","identified_edition":"RSP1984","book_title":"Esoteric Christianity and the Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA130/English/RSP1984/19110919p01.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.
