Only when we have reached this level can we claim to have attained our goal. Thus, through successive earthly lives, we must gradually make our entire being, including our consciousness, an expression of the forces that work on us under the guidance of the spiritual world in early childhood.

Ist dieser selbst einmal von dem Menschenwesen abgefallen, so muß der Mensch , wenn er sein Ziel erreicht haben soll, so weit gekommen sein, daß er in der Tat sich mit seiner ganzen Wesenheit den Kräften hingeben kann, die gegenwärtig nur in der Kindheit tätig sind. Der Sinn der Entwickelung durch die aufeinanderfolgenden Erdenleben hindurch ist also, den ganzen Menschen, somit auch den bewußten Teil, allmählich zum Ausdruck der Kräfte zu machen, die in den ersten Lebensjahren unter Einwirkung der geistigen Welt an ihm - ihm unbewußt - walten. Der Gedanke, der aus solchen Betrachtungen heraus sich der Seele bemächtigt, muß mit Demut, aber auch mit richtigem Bewußtsein der Menschenwürde erfüllen. Es ist der Gedanke: Der Mensch ist nicht allein; in ihm lebt etwas, was ihm immerdar den Beweis liefern kann: Es kann der Mensch sich über sich selbst erheben, zu etwas, was gegenwärtig schon über ihn hinauswächst und was wachsen wird von Leben zu Leben. Immer bestimmtere und bestimmtere Gestalt kann dieser Gedanke annehmen; er liefert dann etwas ungeheuer Beruhigendes und Erhebendes; aber durchdringt auch die Seele mit entsprechender Demut und Bescheidenheit. - Was hat in diesem Sinne der Mensch in sich? Wahrhaftig einen höheren, einen göttlichen Menschen, von dem er sich lebendig durchdrungen fühlen kann, sich sagend: Er ist mein Führer in mir.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":238,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p014"}],"english":["GA 15/l01/p022","GA 15/l01/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":238,"en_words":253,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 15/l01/p014"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6215,"original_word_count":6235,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
