Just as higher forces work on the brain in the first three years of childhood, so the spiritual worlds imbued the writers of the gospels with the forces out of which they wrote their gospels. These facts reveal the spiritual guidance of humanity. After all, if there are people in the human race who write documents out of the same forces that wisely shape human beings, then humanity as a whole is truly being *guided*. And just as individuals say or do things they understand only at a later age, so humanity as a whole produced evangelists as mediators who provided revelations that can be understood only gradually. These scriptures will be understood more and more as humanity progresses. As individuals, we can feel a spiritual guidance within us; humanity as a whole can feel it in persons who work as the gospel writers did.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture One","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":160,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p041","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["AP1992","ASGB1921"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"en","edition":"AP1992","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p041","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/p041?edition=ASGB1921"}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l01","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l01/p030","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p030"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":167,"en_words":160,"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.

Wie in das Gehirn in den ersten drei Jahren der Kindheit höhere Kräfte hineinarbeiten, so wurden hineingeprägt in die Seelen der Evangelienschreiber aus den geistigen Welten Kräfte, aus welchen heraus die Evangelien geschrieben wurden. - In einer solchen Tatsache spricht sich die geistige Führung der Menschheit aus. Eine Menschheit muß wahrhaftig geführt werden, wenn innerhalb ihrer Personen wirken, welche Urkunden aus denselben Kräften heraus schreiben, aus welchen der Mensch selbst weisheitsvoll gestaltet wird. - Und wie der einzelne Mensch Dinge sagt oder tut, die er erst in einem späteren Lebensalter versteht, so hat die Gesamtmenschheit in den Evangelienschreibern sich die Mittler hervorgebracht, die in ihren Schriften Offenbarungen lieferten, die erst nach und nach begriffen werden können. Es wird, je weiter die Menschheit vorrückt, immer mehr und mehr das Verständnis dieser Urkunden gefunden werden.
