To really know Christ we need the inspiring forces that are now imparted through the ancient Egyptian and Chaldean superhuman beings who were themselves guided by Christ. We need this new inspiration, which has been prepared by the great esotericists of the Middle Ages since the thirteenth century. This new inspiration must now be brought more and more to the attention of the general public. If we prepare the soul properly for the perception of the spiritual world according to the teachings of spiritual science, we will be able to hear clairaudiently and to see clairvoyantly what is revealed by these ancient Chaldean and Egyptian powers, who have now become spiritual guides under the leadership of the Christ-being. The first Christian centuries up to our own time were only the preparation for what humanity will receive and understand one day.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Three","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":164,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l03/p053","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/p053","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l03","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l03/p037","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p037"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":271,"en_words":265,"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.

Es bedarf wahrhaftig, um den Christus wirklich kennenzulernen, derjenigen inspirierenden Kräfte, die jetzt auftreten durch die selber von dem Christus geführten alten ägyptischen und chaldäischen übermenschlichen Wesenheiten. Es bedarf einer solchen neuen Inspiration, der Inspiration, welche vorbereitet haben die großen Esoteriker des Mittelalters vom dreizehnten Jahrhundert an und die immer mehr und mehr von jetzt ab in die Öffentlichkeit dringen muß. Wenn sich im Sinne dieser Wissenschaft der Mensch in seiner Seele in richtiger Weise vorbereitet zur Erkenntnis der Geisteswelt, dann kann er hören hellhörend, sehen hellsichtig, was offenbaren die alten chaldäischen und ägyptischen Mächte, die jetzt geistige Leiter geworden sind unter der Anführung der Christus-Wesenheit. Was da der Menschheit einmal erstehen wird, das konnte in den ersten christlichen Jahrhunderten bis zu unserer Zeit nur vorbereitet werden. Daher dürfen wir sagen: Es wird künftig eine Christus-Idee leben in den Herzen der Menschen, an Größe mit nichts zu vergleichen, was bisher die Menschheit zu erkennen glaubte. Was entstanden ist als erster Impuls durch Christus und gelebt hat als Vorstellung von ihm bis heute - selbst bei den besten Vertretern des Christus-Prinzipes -, das ist nur eine Vorbereitung zu der wirklichen Erkenntnis des Christus. Es wäre recht sonderbar, könnte aber geschehen, daß denen, welche im Abendlande die Christus-Idee in solchem Sinne zum Ausdruck bringen, vorgeworfen würde, sie stünden nicht auf dem Boden der christlichen Tradition des Abendlandes. Denn diese christliche Tradition des Abendlandes reicht durchaus nicht aus, um den Christus für eine nächste Zukunft zu begreifen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":271,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l03/p037"}],"english":["GA 15/l03/p053","GA 15/l03/p054"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":271,"en_words":265,"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.
