What is revealed in the individual on a limited scale can be seen on a much larger scale in the representative of the cosmic spirit, in Christ Jesus. The impulse Christ gave to evolution could be given only *once*. Only once could the entire cosmos be reflected as it was in Christ; the constellation that existed then will not appear again. This constellation had to work through a human body in order to be able to impart its impulse to the earth. Just as this particular constellation will not occur a second time, so Christ will not incarnate again. People claim that Christ will appear again on earth only because they do not know that Christ is the representative of the entire universe and because they cannot find the way to the Christ-idea presented in all its elements by spiritual science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Three","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":189,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p052","alignment_confidence":"high","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/l03/p052","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l03","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p036","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p036"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":296,"en_words":290,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Und im wahren Sinne des Wortes ging das, was für den Raum als Überwindung des Sinnenscheins durch Kopernikus und Giordano Bruno ausgeführt worden ist, schon hervor aus den Inspirationen derjenigen geistigen Strömung, welcher auch die neuere Geisteswissenschaft oder Theosophie folgt. Was man die neuere Esoterik nennen kann, das wirkte in geheimnisvoller Art auf Kopernikus, Bruno, Kepler und andere. Und die, welche heute auf dem Boden des Giordano Bruno und des Kopernikus stehen und nicht die Theosophie annehmen wollen, sie werden ihren eigenen Traditionen untreu, indem sie an dem Sinnenschein festhalten wollen. Die Geisteswissenschaft aber zeigt: Wie Giordano Bruno das blaue Himmelsgewölbe durchbrach, so durchbricht diese Wissenschaft die Grenzen von Geburt und Tod für den Menschen, indem sie zeigt, wie der aus dem Makrokosmos stammende Mensch im physischen Dasein lebt, und durch den Tod hindurch wieder in ein Makrokosmische Dasein eintritt. Und was wir in jedem einzelnen Menschen im beschränkten Maße sehen, das tritt uns im großen entgegen in dem Repräsentanten des Kosmos-Geistes, in dem Christus Jesus. Und nur einmal konnte dieser Impuls gegeben werden, den der Christus gab. Nur einmal konnte sich so der ganze Kosmos spiegeln; denn diese Konstellation, wie sie damals vorhanden war, sie kommt nicht wieder. Diese Konstellation mußte durch einen Menschenkörper wirken, damit sie auf der Erde den Impuls geben konnte. So wahr, wie diese selbe Konstellation nicht ein zweites Mal eintritt, so wahr ist der Christus nur einmal zur Verkörperung gekommen. Nur wenn man nicht weiß, daß der Christus der Repräsentant des ganzen Weltalls ist, und man sich nicht durchringen kann zu dieser Christus-Idee, zu der durch die Geisteswissenschaft die Elemente gegeben werden, nur dann kann man behaupten, daß der Christus mehrmals auf Erden erscheinen könne.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":296,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p036"}],"english":["GA 15/l03/p051","GA 15/l03/p052"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":296,"en_words":290,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7401,"original_word_count":6840,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
