But far too little attention is paid to such things. An experience of this kind may pass by without leaving a trace—then the impression fades away and no importance is attached to the experience. But suppose a man has been attentive and realises that it was not without significance. The thought may then occur to him: At that point in your life you were facing a crisis, a karmic crisis; your life should really have ended at that moment, for you had forfeited it. You were saved by something akin to chance, and since then a second life has as it were been grafted onto the first; this second life is to be regarded as a gift bestowed upon you and you must act accordingly. When such an experience makes a man feel that his life from that time onwards has been bestowed upon him as a gift, this means that he can be accounted a follower of Christian Rosenkreutz. For this is how Christian Rosenkreutz calls the souls whom he has chosen. A man who can recall such an occurrence—and everyone sitting here can discover something of the kind in their lives if they observe closely enough—has the right to say to himself: Christian Rosenkreutz has given me a sign from the spiritual world that I belong to his stream. Christian Rosenkreutz has added such an experience to my karma. This is the way in which Christian Rosenkreutz chooses his pupils; this is how he gathers his community. A man who is conscious of this experience knows with certainty that a path has been pointed out to him which he must follow, trying to discover how he can dedicate himself to the service of rosicrucianism. If there are some people who have not yet recognised the sign, they will do so later on; for he to whom the sign has once been given will never again be free from it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Man beachtet solche Dinge heute nur zu wenig. Entweder wird nun ein solches Erlebnis spurlos an dem betreffenden Menschen vorübergehen, dann verwischt sich der Eindruck, er hält dieses Erlebnis nicht für wichtig. Aber nehmen wir an, der Mensch wird aufmerksam, er hält dieses Erlebnis nicht für bedeutungslos. Dann kommt er vielleicht zu dem Gedanken: Eigentlich standest du da vor einer Krisis, einer karmischen Krisis, eigentlich sollte dein Leben enden in diesem Augenblick, du hattest dein Leben verwirkt. Nur durch etwas Zufallähnliches bist du gerettet, und es ist seit jener Stunde gleichsam ein zweites Leben auf das erste draufgepflanzt. Dieses zweite Leben musst du als dir geschenkt betrachten, und demgemäß hast du dich auch zu benehmen. - Wenn ein solches Erlebnis in einem Menschen diese innere Stimmung auslöst, dass er sein Leben von jener Stunde an als Geschenk betrachtet, so macht dies heute diesen Menschen zu einem Bekenner des Christian Rosenkreutz. Denn so ist seine Art, die Seelen zu sich zu rufen. Und derjenige, der sich zurückerinnern kann an ein solches Erlebnis - und alle, die hier sitzen, können etwas derartiges in ihrem Leben finden bei genügend intimer Betrachtung -, ein solcher kann sich sagen: Christian Rosenkreutz hat mir einen Wink gegeben aus der spirituellen Welt, dass ich seiner Strömung angehöre. Christian Rosenkreutz hat zu meinem Karma hinzugefügt die Möglichkeit eines solchen Erlebnisses. Das ist die Art, wie Christian Rosenkreutz die Wahl seiner Schüler trifft. So wählt er seine Gemeinde. Wer solches bewusst erlebt, der sagt sich: Da ist mir ein Weg gewiesen; ich muss dem nachgehen und sehen, inwiefern ich meine Kräfte in den Dienst des Rosenkreuzertums stellen kann. Die aber, die den Wink nicht verstanden haben, werden später dazu kommen, denn an wen der Wink einmal ergangen ist, der wird auch nicht wieder davon loskommen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":311,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/130/1912-01-29/p011"}],"english":["GA 130/1912-01-29/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":311,"en_words":343,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2876,"original_word_count":2649,"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/RSP1984/19120129p02.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.
