Because the soul also worked, what was closed to the intellect could be felt by the heart, and there arose that feeling understanding, which can also be called faith, for the Mystery of Golgotha; that is to say, the human soul inwardly felt the Christ Impulse. People felt the Christ impulse within them; they felt inwardly, spiritually connected to the Christ impulse, even if they could not understand its meaning, its essence. For them, Christ was there. But this presence had to fade away even more in the age of the “I-culture” in which we now find ourselves, because the “I” must, in order to fully grasp itself in its isolation, close itself off from all spiritual impulses that directly reach the soul. So we see a very strange spectacle. With the advent of the new period, we see quite clearly, even as it announces itself, how a new lack of understanding is added to the old lack of understanding, indeed, a lack of understanding that goes even further than the old one. Anyone who examines the facts of spiritual life must find it understandable that the fourth post-Atlantic cultural period could only receive the Christ impulse with the mind, but could not really grasp it spiritually. But from what could be received, it was known that the Christ is there, that He is effective in the evolution of humanity. It was felt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"First Berlin Lecture","site_heading":null,"date":"1913-10-21","location":null,"word_count":276,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/148/1913-10-21/p023","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Fifth Gospel III","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA148/English/SOL2024/19131021p01.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.

Wir nennen die Verstandesseele ja auch Gemütsseele, weil diese Seele wirklich eine Zweiheit ist, weil in der menschlichen Natur in dem Zeitraume, den wir den vierten nachatlantischen nennen, ebenso wie der Verstand auch das Gemüt, das Gefühl, die Empfindung wirkte. Weil auch das Gemüt wirkte, so konnte, was dem Verstande verschlossen war, das Herz fühlen, und es entstand jenes Gefühlsverständnis, das man auch nennen kann den Glauben, für das Mysterium von Golgatha, das heißt, die Menschenseele hatte innerlich ein Gefühl für den Christus-Impuls. Die Menschen fühlten den Christus-Impuls sich einwohnend; sie fühlten sich innerlich, seelisch mit dem Christus-Impuls verbunden, auch wenn sie seine Bedeutung, sein Wesen nicht verstehen konnten. Es war der Christus für sie da. Dieses Da-Sein mußte aber im Zeitalter der Ich-Kultur, in der wir jetzt stehen, noch weiter dahinschwinden; denn das Ich muß gerade, damit es sich in seiner Vereinzelung voll erfassen kann, sich abschließen von allem, was an spirituellen Impulsen unmittelbar zur Seele dringt. So sehen wir denn ein sehr merkwürdiges Schauspiel. Wir sehen mit dem Heraufkommen des neuen Zeitraumes, schon als er sich ankündigt, so recht klar, wie zu dem alten Nichtverstehen ein neues Nichtverstehen kommt, ja, ein Nichtverstehen, das noch weiter geht als das alte. Wer die Tatsachen des spirituellen Lebens prüft, muß es begreiflich finden, daß der vierte nachatlantische Kulturzeitraum nur mit dem Gemüt den Christus-Impuls aufnehmen konnte, ihn aber nicht geistig wirklich erfassen konnte. Aber man wußte durch das, was man aufnehmen konnte, daß der Christus da ist, daß er wirksam ist in der Menschheitsentwickelung.
