We had to point to the tragic impression made on Egyptian souls when in the course of their Initiation they came face to face with the changes that had affected the Cosmic Power known as Isis in the Egyptian Mysteries. From the Osiris legend we learn that the spouse of Isis was overcome by the enemy and torn away from her. But we have also come to know the results in the higher worlds of this changed situation in the life of Isis. The soul which in later Egyptian times had raised itself into spiritual worlds became a participant in the fate of Osiris, the God who was dying to the higher worlds and descending into the earthly region. For that is how it was experienced.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"The Holy Grail and Modern Initiation's Dual Nature","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Damit sind wir gewissermaßen zum letzten Teile der Einweihungsschritte gekommen. Denn wir haben als charakteristisch für alles Mysterienwesen die vier Schritte angeführt: Herankommen bis an die Grenze des Todes, Bekanntschaft machen mit dem Leben in der elementarischen Welt, Schauen der Sonne um Mitternacht, und Stehen vor den oberen und unteren Göttern. Es ist ein Stehen vor unteren Göttern, wenn man, auf der einen Seite, diejenigen Kräfte wahrzunehmen hat, welche alles regieren, was sich auf die menschliche Leiblichkeit bezieht, die im Schlafe zurückbleibt als physischer Leib und Ätherleib. Da hat man es zu tun mit den unteren Göttern im weitesten Sinne des Wortes. Auf der anderen Seite hat man von den oberen Göttern bei all den Kräften zu sprechen, die zu tun haben mit der innersten Wesenheit des Menschen, mit dem also, was durch die verschiedenen Inkarnationen durchgeht: Ich und astralischer Leib. Schildern konnte ich vorgestern, wie die Erlebnisse eines heutigen Menschen sind, der mit dem Mysterienwesen bekannt wird, wenn er in der Akasha-Chronik zurückschaut in die Erlebnisse, welche Menschenseelen innerhalb der Mysterien in den alten Zeiten durchmachten. Und auf den tragischen Eindruck mußten wir hinweisen, welchen die ägyptischen einzuweihenden Seelen empfingen gegenüber den Veränderungen, die mit jener Weltenmacht vorgegangen waren, die innerhalb der ägyptischen Mysterien als die «Isis» bezeichnet worden ist. Genommen wurde der Isis — das ist ja bekannt aus der Osiris-Sage — der Gemahl, überwunden, von dem Feinde hinweggeführt, so daß wir der Isis dasjenige entrissen sehen, was wir als Osiris bezeichnet haben. Aber auch für das Leben in den höheren Welten haben wir kennengelernt die Folge dieser veränderten Lage im Leben der Isis. Die Seele, welche sich in den späteren ägyptischen Zeiten hinauferhoben hatte in die spirituellen Welten, sie wurde zur Teilnehmerin an dem allmählich für die höheren Welten sterbenden Gotte, der hinunterstieg in die irdische Region: an dem Schicksal des Osiris. Denn so wurde die Sache empfunden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":330,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/144/1913-02-07/p003"}],"english":["GA 144/1913-02-07/p003","GA 144/1913-02-07/p004","GA 144/1913-02-07/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":330,"en_words":351,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7273,"original_word_count":7147,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Charles Davy","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"The Mysteries of the East and of Christianity","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA144/English/RSP1972/19130207p01.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.
