{"corpus":"steiner","locus":"GA 15/l03/p019","lang":"en","edition":"ASGB1921","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":false,"text":"Thus in Palestine during the time that Jesus of Nazareth walked on earth as Christ-Jesus—during the three last years of his life, from his thirtieth to his thirty-third year, the entire Being of the cosmic Christ was acting uninterruptedly upon Him, and was working into Him. The Christ stood always under the influence of the entire cosmos—He made no step without this working of the cosmic forces into and in Him. That which here took place in Jesus of Nazareth was a continual realization of the horoscope, for at every moment there occurred that which otherwise happens only at a person's birth. This could be so only because the whole body of Jesus descended from Nathan had remained open to the influence of the sum total of the forces of the cosmic spiritual hierarchies which direct our earth. If thus the whole spirit of the cosmos worked into the Christ Jesus, who was it that went, for example, to Capernaum? He who went about as a being upon the earth appeared quite like any other man. The forces active within Him, however, were the cosmic forces, coming from the sun and stars; and these directed His Body. And it was always in accordance with the collective Being of the whole Universe with whom the earth is in harmony, that all which the Christ Jesus did took place. It is because of this that in the case of the acts of the Christ-Jesus there is so often some slight hint given in the Gospels about the relative grouping of the stars at the time. We read in St. John's Gospel how the Christ finds His first disciples. There we are told: “It was about the tenth hour,” because in this fact the spirit of the whole cosmos found expression in conformity with the appointed moment of time. Such intimations are less clear in the other Gospel passages, but he who can truly read the Gospels finds them everywhere. From this point of view also the miracles are to be judged. Let us take one passage—the one that runs thus: “When the sun was set, they brought the sick unto Him, and He healed them.” What does that mean? The evangelist is drawing attention to the fact that this healing was connected with the whole position of the constellations and that, at the time in question, the constellations throughout the heavens stood as they only could have when the sun had set The meaning is that, at the time, the requisite healing forces could make themselves felt after sun-set, and the Christ Jesus is represented as the intermediary Who brought the sick into connection with the forces of the cosmos which, just at that time, could work curatively. These forces were the same as those which worked as Christ in Jesus. It was through the presence of Christ that the healing took place. Only thus could the sick person be exposed to the healing forces of the cosmos which could only work as they did when they were in the right relationship to time and space. Thus these forces worked on the sick person through their representative, the Christ. But it was only just during the time of Christ on earth that they could so work. It was only then that such a connection existed between the cosmic constellations and the powers of the human organism that for certain illnesses, healing could intervene when through the instrumentality of the Christ Jesus the cosmic grouping of the same forces was able to work on men. A repetition of this relationship in the evolution of the cosmos and the earth is as little possible as is a second incarnation of the Christ in a human body. Regarded in this way, the life of the Christ Jesus appears as the earthly expression of a definite connection between the cosmos and the forces of man. The tarrying of a sick person by the side of Christ means that through the proximity of Christ this sick person found himself in such a relation with the macrocosm that the latter could work upon him curatively.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":687,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p019?edition=ASGB1921","alignment_confidence":"high","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/l03/p019"},{"lang":"en","edition":"AP1992","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p019","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/l03/p019?edition=ASGB1921","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l03","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p024","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p024"},{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p025","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p025"},{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p026","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p026"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":557,"en_words":687,"ratio":1.23,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Immer stand der Christus unter dem Einfluß des ganzen Kosmos, er machte keinen Schritt, ohne daß die kosmischen Kräfte in ihn hereinwirkten. Was hier bei dem Jesus von Nazareth sich abspielte, war ein fortwährendes Verwirklichen des Horoskopes; denn in jedem Moment geschah das, was sonst nur bei der Geburt des Menschen geschieht. Das konnte nur dadurch so sein, daß der ganze Leib des nathanischen Jesus beeinflußbar geblieben war gegenüber der Gesamtheit der unsere Erde lenkenden Kräfte der kosmisch-geistigen Hierarchien. Wenn so der ganze Geist des Kosmos in den Christus Jesus hereinwinkte, wer ging dann zum Beispiel nach Kapernaum oder sonstwo hin? Was da als ein Wesen auf der Erde wandelte, das sah allerdings wie ein anderer Mensch aus. Die wirksamen Kräfte darin aber waren die kosmischen Kräfte, die von Sonne und Sternen kamen; sie dirigierten den Leib. Und je nach der Gesamtwesenheit der Welt, mit welcher die Erde zusammenhängt, geschah das, was der Christus Jesus tat. Daher ist so oft die Sternkonstellation für die Taten des Christus Jesus in den Evangelien leise angedeutet. Man lese im Johannes-Evangelium, wie der Christus seine ersten Jünger findet. Da wird angegeben: «Es war aber um die zehnte Stunde» ; weil der Geist des ganzen Kosmos in Gemäßheit der Zeitverhältnisse sich in dieser Tatsache zum Ausdruck brachte. Solche Andeutungen sind an andern Evangelien-Stellen weniger deutlich; wer aber die Evangelien lesen kann, der findet sie überall.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":265,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p024"},{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p025","passage_number":25,"text":"Von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus sind zum Beispiel die Wunder der Krankenheilungen zu beurteilen. Man fasse nur eine Stelle ins Auge, diejenige, wo es heißt: «Als die Sonne untergegangen war, da brachten sie zu ihm die Kranken, und er heilte sie.» Was heißt das? Da macht der Evangelist darauf aufmerksam, daß diese Heilung mit der ganzen Sternkonstellation zusammenhing, daß eine solche Weltenkonstellation vorhanden war in der entsprechenden Zeit, die nur hat herbeigeführt werden können, als die Sonne untergegangen war. Gemeint ist, daß in dieser Zeit die entsprechenden Heilkräfte sich offenbaren konnten nach Sonnenuntergang. Der Christus Jesus wird als der Mittler dargestellt, welcher den Kranken mit den Kräften des Kosmos zusammenbringt, die gerade zu jener Zeit heilend wirken konnten. Diese Kräfte waren dieselben, die als Christus in Jesus wirkten. Durch Christi Gegenwart geschah die Heilung, weil infolge derselben der Kranke den ihn heilenden Kräften des Kosmos ausgesetzt wurde, die nur unter den betreffenden Raumes- und Zeitverhältnissen so wirken konnten, wie sie wirkten.

Eine Wiederholung dieser Verhältnisse im kosmischen und Erdenwerden ist ebensowenig möglich wie eine zweite Verkörperung des Christus in einem menschlichen Leibe. So angesehen, erscheint der Wandel des Christus Jesus als der irdische Ausdruck eines bestimmten Verhältnisses des Kosmos zu den Kräften des Menschen.
