In the first four discourses we observe three successive stages, each higher than the last, each one introducing something new. Here in these very first discourses we find an accent that is wonderful in its dramatic art, apart from the fact that it corresponds to a deep occult truth. The first stage is a teaching that might appear even trivial to many Westerners in its given form. Let us admit that at once. (Here I should like to remark, especially for the benefit of my dear friends here in Finland, that I mean by “Western” all that lies to the west of the Ural Mountains, the Volga, the Caspian Sea and Asia Minor—in fact the whole of Europe. What is to be called Eastern land belongs essentially in Asia. Of course, America too forms part of the West.)","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.

Und nun merken wir in den vier ersten Gesängen drei Etappen, drei Stufen, jede folgende höher als die vorhergehende, jede folgende etwas Neues.

Das erste ist eine Lehre, die im Grunde genommen, so wie sie gegeben wird, manchem abendländischen Menschen sogar trivial vorkommen könnte. Das sei ohne weiteres zugegeben. Ich bemerke in Parenthese, daß ich mit abendländisch oder westländisch — und gerade mit Rücksicht auf meine hiesigen lieben Freunde möchte ich dies sagen —, daß ich mit westländisch alles verstehe, was westlich von Ural, Wolga, Kaspischem Meer sogar und Kleinasien liegt, also ganz Europa selbstverständlich.
