Let those who are absorbed in the petty material interests of the immediate present, who cannot find sufficient interest to follow the anthroposophist in looking out over world and planetary destinies, over the historical epochs and races of mankind—let them scoff if they will! One who would prepare himself for an occult development must lift up his eyes to the heights where the interests of mankind, of the earth, of the whole planetary system become his own. When a person's interests are gradually sharpened and widened through the study of anthroposophy, which leads even without occult training to an understanding of occult truths, then he is being rightly prepared for an occult path.","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.

Denn wer nicht erleben kann das Erschütternde des Zweifels an aller Wahrheit, an aller Erkenntnis und allem Wissen, und dieses Erschütternde nicht erleben kann mit jener Stärke, in der sonst von dem Menschen nur empfunden werden die Interessen des alltäglichen Lebens, wer nicht mitfühlen kann mit dem Schicksal der ganzen Menschheit und diesem Schicksale der ganzen Menschheit nicht ein solches Interesse entgegenbringt, wie es im alltäglichen Leben entgegengebracht wird dem Schicksale, das einen selbst unmittelbar berührt, das vielleicht noch die nächsten Stammes-, Familien- und Volkszusammenhänge berührt, der ist im Grunde noch nicht ganz geeignet für eine okkulte Entwickelung. Daher ist ja auch die moderne Geisteswissenschaft, wenn sie in Ernst und Würde getrieben wird, die richtige Vorbereitung in unserer Zeit für eine wahrhafte, okkulte Entwickelung. Mögen die Menschen, die kein Interesse gewinnen können für dasjenige, was des Anthroposophen Blick verfolgt über Welten hin, über planetarische Schicksale, über Menschenrassen und Menschenepochen hin, mögen die Menschen mit den kleinen materiellen Interessen des heutigen Tages auch darüber spötteln: für denjenigen, der sich vorbereiten will in würdiger Weise für eine okkulte Entwickelung, ist dies die Vorbereitung, dieses Heraufheben des Blickes zu jenen Gipfelpunkten, wo die Interessen der Menschheit, der Erde, des ganzen planetarischen Systems ihm zu eigenen Interessen erwachsen. Denn wo die Interessen allmählich geschärft, erweitert werden durch das Studium der Geisteswissenschaft, das dann zum Begreifen der okkulten Wahrheiten führt, auch ohne okkulte Schulung, da ist die richtige Vorbereitung für einen okkulten Weg. Gewiß, in unserer Zeit gibt es viele Menschen — diejenigen, die in den Reihen der Intellektuellen stehen, sind es oftmals gar nicht, diejenigen, die scheinbar in einem einfachen Leben an einem einfachen Orte stehen, sind es gerade oftmals —, gewiß, es gibt viele Menschen, die heute, auf einfacher Stelle stehend, wie durch einen natürlichen Instinkt diese Interessen für die Gesamtmenschheit haben: und weil dies so ist, deshalb ist die Anthroposophie etwas so Zeitgemäßes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":375,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/146/1913-05-29/p007"}],"english":["GA 146/1913-05-29/p009","GA 146/1913-05-29/p010","GA 146/1913-05-29/p011"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":375,"en_words":301,"ratio":0.8,"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.
