Of this too we have tried to be mindful. Those of us who were together when the Foundation Stone of our Building was laid, tried to envisage the urgent need for spiritual teachings to be proclaimed with faithful observance of truth. We tried to picture what a wide distance separates the culture of our times from this search for the truth. It can verily be said that the cry for the Spirit rings through the age but that men are either too arrogant or too limited to be willing to know the actual truths of the Spirit. The sense of truth in the degree essential for understanding the proclamation of the Spirit, has yet to grow. For in spiritual culture as it is to-day, this sense of truth is not present in the requisite degree and—what is worse—its absence is not noticed. Treat what has been given here in connection with the Fifth Gospel in such a way that it is treated reverently in the groups. This we must ask, not out of egoism but for quite other reasons. For the Spirit of Truth must abide in us and the Spirit must stand before us in Truth. People to-day talk of the Spirit but even when they do so, they have no inkling whatever of the realities of the Spirit. There is a man—and why should names not be given—who has won great respect simply because he is forever talking about the Spirit. I refer to Rudolf Eucken. He talks the whole time of Spirit, but when one reads through all his books (just try it sometime) one finds *ad infinitum*: The Spirit exists, we must experience the Spirit, commune with the Spirit, be mindful of the Spirit ... and so on, in endless phrases running through every one of these books. Spirit, Spirit, Spirit! This is how men speak of the Spirit to-day because they are too lazy or too arrogant to go to the very wellsprings of the Spirit. And such men are greatly respected nowadays. For all that, it will be difficult in the modern age to make headway with anything drawn from the Spirit in such a concrete form as was necessary in describing the contents of the Fifth Gospel. Earnestness and an inner sense of truth are required for this. One of Eucken's most recent publications is a volume entitled: *Können wir noch Christen sein*? [Leipzig, 1911. An English translation, *Can we still be Christians*? was published in 1914.] Pages and pages follow one another merely reiterating Soul and Spirit, Spirit and Soul, and so it goes on through many volumes. For one gains immense repute and authority if one declares to the people that one knows something about the Spirit. In their reading, however, people do not perceive the inner untruthfulness of it all ... One would like to think that ultimately people really will learn how to read ... On one of the pages we find the sentence: Humanity to-day has passed beyond the stage of believing in daemons; one cannot any longer expect people to believe in daemons! But at another place in the same book there is this remarkable sentence: The daemonic arises when Spirit touches Soul. Here the man is speaking seriously of daemons, after having spoken, on another page of the same book, the words I quoted. Is not this the very deepest inner untruth? The time must come at last when such inwardly untruthful teachings about the Spirit are refuted. But I have never noticed that many of our contemporaries are alive to this inner untruthfulness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Jesus's Inner Crisis and the Birth of the Lord's Prayer","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 in dem, was heute Geistesbildung ist, ist dieser Grad von Wahrhaftigkeit nicht vorhanden und, was schlimmer ist, man merkt es nicht, daß er nicht vorhanden ist.

Da gibt es einen Mann — und warum soll man nicht Namen nennen -, der zu einem großen Ansehen gekommen ist, gerade weil er immer und immer vom Geiste spricht, Rudolf Eucken. Er redet immer vom Geiste, aber wenn man alle seine Bücher durchliest — versuchen Sie es nur einmal -, wird immer gesagt: Den Geist gibt es, man muß ihn erleben, man muß mit ihm zusammensein, man muß ihn empfinden - und so weiter. In unendlichen Phrasen geht es durch alle diese Bücher, wo man immer wieder schreibt: Geist, Geist, Geist! So redet man heute vom Geiste, weil man zu bequem oder zu hochmütig ist, zu den Quellen des Geistes selbst zu gehen. Und diese Menschen haben heute großes Ansehen. Dennoch wird es schwierig sein in der heutigen Zeit, mit dem, was so konkret aus dem Geiste geholt ist, wie es bei der Schilderung des Fünften Evangeliums geschehen mußte, durchzudringen. Dazu gehören Ernst und innere Wahrhaftigkeit. Eine der neuesten Schriften Euckens ist diese: «Können wir noch Christen sein?» Da lesen wir auf einer der Seiten, die nichts anderes sind als einzelne Glieder, die sich bandwurmartig aneinanderstücken aus Seele und Geist, und Geist und Seele, und durch viele Bände hindurch geschieht das, denn damit erwirbt man ungeheures Ansehen, Ruhm und Ruf, wenn man den Leuten erklärt, vom Geiste etwas zu wissen, denn die Leute merken heute nicht beim Lesen, was alles an innerer Unwahrhaftigkeit geleistet wird, und man möchte glauben, die Menschen müßten doch endlich lesen lernen — da lesen wir auf einer Seite den Satz: Die Menschheit ist heute darüber hinaus, an Dämonen zu glauben; an Dämonen zu glauben kann man den Menschen nicht mehr zumuten! — Aber an einer anderen Stelle liest man in demselben Buche den merkwürdigen Satz: «Die Berührung von Göttlichem und Menschlichem erzeugt dämonische Mächte.» Da spricht doch der Mann ernsthaft jetzt von Dämonen, der so, wie ich vorher gesagt habe, auf einer anderen Seite desselben Buches spricht. Ist das nicht tiefste innere Unwahrheit? Es müßte die Zeit endlich kommen, wo zurückgewiesen werden solche Lehren vom Geiste, die voll innerster Unwahrheit sind. Aber ich merke nichts davon, daß viele unserer Zeitgenossen diese innere Unwahrheit bemerken.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":377,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/148/1913-10-06/p076"}],"english":["GA 148/1913-10-06/p042"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":595,"en_words":638,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 148/1913-10-06/p075","GA 148/1913-10-06/p076"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.89,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9161,"original_word_count":10297,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
