And it is precisely for this reason that the process of which I am telling you now may not be repeated: it could only be enacted at that particular time. Strange to say, as the harmony within the boy's soul increased, his body became more delicate—more and more delicate, until at a certain age it was transparent in every limb. The boy ate less and less until he finally took no nourishment at all. Then he lay for days in a condition of complete torpor: the soul had left the body, and returned into it again after a few days. The youth was now inwardly quite changed. The twelve different rays of human outlook were united in one *single* radiance, and he gave utterance to the greatest, most wonderful secrets; he did not repeat what the first, or the second, or the third had said, but gave forth in a new and wonderful synthesis all that they would have said had they spoken in unison; all the knowledge they possessed was gathered into one whole, and when he uttered it, it was as though this new wisdom had just come to birth in him. It was as though a higher spirit were speaking in him. Something entirely and essentially new was thus imparted to the twelve wise men. Wisdom in abundance was imparted to them; and to each, individually, greater illumination concerning what had been known to him hitherto.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Intimate Workings of Karma","site_heading":null,"date":"1912-02-09","location":null,"word_count":264,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/130/1912-02-09/p015","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","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/RSP1984/19120209p02.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.

Und gerade aus dem Grunde, weil das, was ich jetzt erzähle, eingetreten ist, darf dies nicht wiederholt werden; es konnte sich nur in jenem Zeitpunkte abspielen. Und merkwürdigerweise, je größer, harmonischer der Seeleninhalt dieses Knaben wurde, desto zarter wurde sein Leib, immer zarter und zarter. Und in einem bestimmten Lebensalter stellte sich geradezu heraus, dass der Leib so zart geworden war, dass er förmlich durchsichtig wurde, dass man durchsehen konnte durch die einzelnen Glieder. Und immer weniger und weniger aß dieser Jüngling, bis er zuletzt ganz aufhörte zu essen. Dann verfiel er durch Tage in einen apathischen Zustand; die Seele war herausgegangen aus dem Leibe und ging nach einigen Tagen wiederum in den Leib zurück. Jetzt war der Jüngling innerlich ganz verändert. Die zwölf verschiedenen Strahlen der menschlichen Weltanschauungen waren wie in ein Licht vereinigt, und er sprach nun die wunderbarsten, gewaltigsten Geheimnisse. Er sagte nicht, was der Eine, der Zweite, der Dritte sagte, er sagte in ganz neuer Form und in einer wunderbaren Weise Dinge, die alle zusammen hätten sagen müssen, Dinge, in denen alles, was die anderen wussten, vereinigt war, und er sagte das so, als wenn diese neue Weisheit in ihm eben geboren worden wäre, als ob ein höherer Geist in ihm gesprochen hätte, sodass diese zwölf Männer jetzt alle etwas Neues lernen konnten. Und sie lernten alle von ihm, unendlich viel wurde ihnen geboten, einem jeden eine vollkommenere Erklärung dessen, was er von früher her wusste.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":267,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/130/1912-02-09/p015"}],"english":["GA 130/1912-02-09/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":267,"en_words":264,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5071,"original_word_count":5217,"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/RSP1984/19120209p02.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.
