Until now there have been only two—or later on today we may perhaps discover three—sources of knowledge concerning the Christian mysteries for persons who could not rise by training to clairvoyant observation. One source was the Gospels and all that comes from the communications in the Gospels, or in the traditions connected with them. The second source of knowledge arose because there have always been clairvoyant individuals who could see into the higher worlds, and through their own knowledge brought down the facts of the Christ-Event. Other persons followed these individuals, receiving from them a ‘never-ending Gospel’, which could continually come into the world through those who were clairvoyant. These two seem at first to be the only two sources in the evolution of Christian humanity up to the present time. And, now from the twentieth century onwards, a third begins. It arises because for more and more people an extension, an enhancement, of their cognitional powers, not brought about through meditation, concentration and other exercises will occur. As we have often said, more and more persons will be able to renew for themselves the experience of Paul on the road to Damascus. Hence we can say of the ensuing period that it will provide a direct means of perceiving the significance and the Being of Christ Jesus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":223,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/131/1911-10-07/p006","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1911-10-07","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 131/1911-10-07/p004","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/131/1911-10-07/p004"},{"locus":"GA 131/1911-10-07/p005","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/131/1911-10-07/p005"},{"locus":"GA 131/1911-10-07/p006","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/131/1911-10-07/p006"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 131/1911-10-07/p004","GA 131/1911-10-07/p005","GA 131/1911-10-07/p006"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":346,"en_words":349,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Wir wissen, daß das menschliche Durchschreiten durch die Pforte des Todes so geschieht, daß wir uns abtrennen von dem physischen Leibe.
