It is expressed in the New Testament in the words, ‘Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.’ What then becomes manifest as man's highest ideal, if what has just been said be rightly received? Surely this—the drawing ever nearer and nearer to what we may call a conscious relation to the forces which work in man unknown to him during early childhood, 0niy it must be borne in mind that man would collapse under the power of those forces, if they were at once to operate in his conscious life. For this reason, careful preparation is necessary for the attainment of those faculties which induce the perception of supersensible worlds. The object of such preparation is to qualify man to bear what he is unable to bear in ordinary life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":153,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p018?edition=ASGB1921","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["AP1992","ASGB1921"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p018"},{"lang":"en","edition":"AP1992","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p018","paragraph_aligned":true},{"lang":"en","edition":"ASGB1921","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":false,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p018?edition=ASGB1921","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l01","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l01/p012","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p012"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":160,"en_words":153,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Er ist im Neuen Testament mit den Worten ausgesprochen: «So ihr nicht werdet wie die Kindlein, könnt ihr nicht in die Reiche der Himmel kommen!» Denn was erscheint als das höchste Ideal für den Menschen, wenn das als richtig angenommen wird, was in dem Vorhergehenden gesagt ist? Doch wohl dieses: sich immer mehr und mehr dem zu nähern, was man ein bewußtes Verhältnis zu den Kräften nennen kann, die in den ersten Kindheitsjahren unbewußt am Menschen wirken. - Nur muß in Betracht gezogen werden, daß der Mensch unter der Gewalt dieser Kräfte zusammenbrechen müßte, wenn sie ohne weiteres in sein bewußtes Leben hereinwirken würden. Deshalb ist für die Erlangung jener Fähigkeiten, die ein Wahrnehmen der übersinnlichen Welten herbeiführen, eine sorgsame Vorbereitung notwendig. Diese Vorbereitung hat das Ziel, den Menschen geeignet zu machen zum Ertragen dessen, was er im gewöhnlichen Leben eben nicht ertragen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":160,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p012"}],"english":["GA 15/l01/p018"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":160,"en_words":153,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6442,"original_word_count":6235,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
