What only arose as a dream[^11] of the great martyr *Socrates* in the fourth epoch, will become reality. What was this mighty impulse of *Socrates*? He wanted it to come about that whoever experiences a moral precept and understands it so thoroughly that it becomes one with his feeling, should also be a moral person, carrying his morality into his actions. Consider what a long way from this we still are, what a lot of people can say: such and such must happen—but how few have the inner power, the moral strength to do it! Moral principles will have to be so clearly understood and moral feelings so positively developed that we cannot inwardly know something without having the impulse to carry it out with enthusiasm. For this really to mature in the human soul, so that a moral impulse does not stop at the stage of understanding, but has inevitably to become a deed, men will have to live their way into these two particular streams. Then, under the influence of the two streams, human beings will develop in increasing numbers who are capable of carrying the feeling for the acknowledgment of morality, through into action.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Was in der vierten nur wie ein Traum des großen Märtyrers Sokrates erstand, das wird als Wirklichkeit dastehen. Was war denn dieser groRe Impuls des Sokrates? Er wollte, dass der, welcher ein moralisches Gesetz erlebt und es so durchschaut, dass er davon ergriffen wird, auch in entsprechender Weise als moralischer Mensch handeln solle. Bedenken wir, wie weit wir davon noch entfernt sind, wie viele sagen können: das muss geschehen -, aber wie wenige die innere Kraft, die Stärke der Moral dazu haben! Dass die moralischen Lehren so klar durchschaut und die moralischen Gefühle so sicher entwickelt werden, dass es gar nichts geben kann, was wir erkennen, ohne den Impuls zu haben, es mit Feuer auszuführen, dass dies wirklich in den menschlichen Seelen heranreifen kann, nicht nur eingesehen wird, dass es gar nicht anders sein kann, als dass ein moralischer Impuls auch zur Tat wird: das hängt davon ab, dass sich die Menschen in die zwei gekennzeichneten Geistesströmungen einleben. Dann werden unter dem Einflusse der beiden Strömungen immer mehr und mehr jene Menschen heranreifen, welche vermögen, vom Empfinden, vom moralischen Erkennen, vom moralischen Impuls zur Tat vorzuschreiten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":194,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/130/1911-09-19/p028"}],"english":["GA 130/1911-09-19/p028"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":194,"en_words":207,"ratio":1.07,"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.
