They can also work on us in our later life—if we seek Christ in ourselves through contemplation. It was not always possible to find the Christ within; indeed, as clairvoyant perception reveals, prior to Christ's life on earth, there were times when no amount of contemplation would have helped people to find the Christ. Clairvoyant cognition teaches us that this is so. Between the time when Christ could not be found within and the present, when he can be found in this way, lies Christ's life on earth. It is because Christ lived on the earth that we can now find him within, in the way I have indicated. Thus, for clairvoyant perception, the fact that Christ lived on the earth is proven without recourse to any historical documentation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture One","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":146,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p032","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/p032"},{"lang":"en","edition":"AP1992","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p032","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/p032?edition=ASGB1921","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l01","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l01/p023","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p023"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":208,"en_words":217,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Es entsteht nun die Frage: Führt diese Erkenntnis auch zur Anerkennung der Tatsache, daß dieser Christus wirklich einmal in einem Menschenleibe auf Erden gewohnt hat? Ohne daß irgendwelche Dokumente herangezogen werden, kann diese Frage bejaht werden. Denn eine wirkliche seherische Selbsterkenntnis führt für den gegenwärtigen Menschen dahin, einzusehen, daß in der Menschenseele Kräfte gefunden werden können, welche von diesem Christus ausgehen. In den ersten drei Kindheitsjahren wirken diese Kräfte, ohne daß der Mensch etwas dazu tut. Im späteren Leben können sie wirken, wenn der Mensch durch innere Versenkung den Christus in sich sucht. So wie nun gegenwärtig der Mensch den Christus in sich findet, so konnte er dieses nicht immer. Es gab Zeiten, wo keine innere Versenkung den Menschen zum Christus führen konnte. Daß dies so ist, lehrt wieder die seherische Erkenntnis. In der Zwischenzeit zwischen jener Vergangenheit, da der Mensch den Christus in sich nicht finden konnte, und der Gegenwart, da er ihn finden kann, liegt das Erdenleben Christi. Und dieses Erdenleben selbst ist der Grund, warum in der angegebenen Art der Mensch den Christus in sich finden kann. So beweist sich für die seherische Erkenntnis das Erdenleben Christi ohne alle geschichtlichen Urkunden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":208,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p023"}],"english":["GA 15/l01/p031","GA 15/l01/p032"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":208,"en_words":217,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"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.
