It makes us realize how we can always find artistic beauty at the foundation of these occult records. I could show the same for the structure of St. Mark's Gospel. When we regard such records in their beauty of form and their dramatic power, we can indeed conclude that just because they are *true* such records cannot be other than artistically, beautifully composed, in the deepest sense of the word. For the moment we will only indicate this fact, as we may come back to it in the course of these lectures.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Soul Upheaval and the Birth of Abstract Thought","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.

Das ist etwas, worauf ich schon hinweisen konnte bei der Besprechung des Johannes-Evangeliums, worauf ich später hinweisen konnte bei der Besprechung des Markus-Evangeliums. Es ist die Tatsache, daß, wenn man tiefer in diese okkulten Urkunden eindringt, man immer mehr und mehr sich klar wird darüber, daß eigentlich diese okkulten Urkunden in einer wunderbaren, künstlerischen Komposiition abgefaßt sind. Ich könnte nachweisen — und Sie können das nachlesen in dem Zyklus, den ich einstmals in Kassel gehalten habe, der ja auch gedruckt ist, über «Das Johannes-Evangelium im Verhältnis zu den drei anderen Evangelien, besonders zu dem Lukas-Evangelium» -, ich könnte zeigen, wie dieses Johannes-Evangelium, wenn man in die Tiefen dringt, eine wunderbare Komposition darstellt, eine wunderbare, künstlerisch dramatische Steigerung des Dargestellten zunächst bis zu einem Punkte herauf, dann wiederum von diesem Punkte aus wie eine Erneuerung der dramatischen Kraft bis zum Schlusse hin. Wunderbarste Steigerung dieser inneren, künstlerisch-dramatischen Komposition, die in dem Johannes-Evangelium dadurch zutage tritt, daß von sogenannten wunderbaren Taten oder von sogenannten Zeichen das Übersinnliche von Zeichen zu Zeichen dargestellt wird und von Zeichen zu Zeichen eine fortwährende Steigerung stattfindet bis zu jenem Zeichen, das uns entgegentritt in der Initiation des Lazarus. Die Art, wie uns dies entgegentritt, läßt uns ersehen, daß auf dem Grunde dieser okkulten Urkunden immer eine wunderbare künstlerische Schönheitskomposition überall zu finden ist. Ich konnte auch dasselbe nachweisen für die Gliederung und Komposition des Markus-Evangeliums. Wenn dann solche Urkunden auf ihre Schönheitskomposition hin, auf ihre dramatische Kraft hin angesehen werden, dann kann man wohl zu der Anschauung kommen, daß diese großen, okkulten Urkunden gar nicht anders sein können, als, indem sie wahr sind, zugleich im tiefsten Sinne künstlerisch schön komponiert. Zunächst sei auf diesen Umstand als auf eine Tatsache nur hingewiesen. Wir werden vielleicht im Verlaufe dieser Vorträge noch einmal auf diese Bemerkung zurückkommen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":329,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/146/1913-05-29/p003"}],"english":["GA 146/1913-05-29/p003","GA 146/1913-05-29/p004"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":329,"en_words":312,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5876,"original_word_count":6059,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams with emendations by Doris M.
