We cannot speak to a newborn infant about Christ Jesus; there are no means whereby we can make him understand what He is. We may show him a picture such as the Sistine Madonna with the Jesus Child, or a representation of the Crucifixion, but could we look into his soul we should know that he cannot possibly be approached in these first stages of his life by means of our external methods of education on the physical plane. We may indeed, when he first begins to lisp, accustom him to pronounce the name of Christ, and we can surround him with ideas about Christ, but we find that the deeper understanding of the heart is not yet ready. One thing is clear to everyone able by means of Spiritual Science to look into the child's mind: only when he has reached an age when he can look back in memory, and his Ego-consciousness has awakened, is it at all possible for us to convey to him by our external education even the faintest glimmerings of a feeling for Christ. Nor during the first few years after the awakening of the Ego-consciousness will there be any great understanding. Nevertheless all that we can give him in the way of ideas about Christ without dogma, and all we can convey by means of words and ideas containing something of the Christ-Impulse, will be of advantage throughout the whole of his later life. After the awakening of the Ego-consciousness, though it be only a glimmer, and when we are still unable to work on the child by physical means, he will look upon a picture of the Madonna and Child or at the Cross on which hangs the Christ in quite a different way from before. For just as the Mystery of Golgotha has entered the earthly evolution of man, so is it also destined to work in the advancement of spiritual life on the physical plane. Man, in fact, only enters the physical plane consciously when his Ego awakens. What occurs before this? Three things, which I have pointed out in former lectures, precede the awakening of the Ego in the child—three things of immense importance.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":394,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/152/1914-03-07/p007","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1914-03-07","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p006","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p006"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p007","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p007"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p008","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p008"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 152/1914-03-07/p006","GA 152/1914-03-07/p007"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":1246,"en_words":1213,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

But like so many of the comparisons which are made this one is incomplete. Man, in the early stages of his life and before his Ego-consciousness has awakened, is destined by means of the rudiments of this Ego to bring himself to a vertical position, to raise himself out of the condition he still occupied during the old Moon period when the line of direction of his spine was practically horizontal, parallel with the Moon's surface. During the old Lemurian time he learnt to alter the Moon direction to that of the Earth. This came about because, during the Earth development, the Spirits of Form poured the Ego into man out of their own substance. And the first manifestation of this in-flowing of the “I” was that inner force by means of which man raised himself into an upright position. Thus, through this position, he is wrested from the Earth. The Earth contains within itself spiritual forces capable of streaming through the spine as in the case of the animal body where in its natural growth it remains horizontal. But the Earth has no forces enabling it directly to serve the human being who, through his Ego after it awakens later to consciousness, can raise himself upright.

Ist es denn nicht so? Zu dem Kinde, das eben geboren worden ist, können wir noch nicht sprechen von dem Christus Jesus. Es gibt keinen Weg, wie wir dem Kinde verständlich machen können, was der Christus Jesus ist. Und wenn wir die Augen des Kindes verweilen lassen würden auf irgendeinem Bildnis, sei es ein Bildnis wie die Sixtinische Madonna mit dem Jesusknaben oder sei es der Kruzifixus, wir würden bemerken, wenn wir hineinsehen könnten in die Seele des Kindes, daß wir in den allerersten Zeiten des kindlichen Lebens noch nicht an sie herankommen können mit unseren äußeren Erziehungsmitteln des physischen Planes. Wir können zwar schon von der Zeit an, wo das Kind gewissermaßen zu lallen beginnt, es gewöhnen, den Christus-Namen auszusprechen, wir können ihm Vorstellungen beibringen, die auf den Christus hinweisen. Aber das tiefere Herzensverständnis werden wir in den ersten Zeiten des menschlichen Kindeslebens sich noch nicht bereiten fühlen.

Es wird gewiß auch in den ersten Jahren, nachdem das Ich-Bewußtsein erwacht ist, kein großes Verständnis da sein. Aber alles, was wir da übermitteln an Christus-Vorstellungen, ohne daß wir es in die Dogmatik hineinführen, was wir so vermitteln, daß in den Worten und Vorstellungen etwas von dem Leben des Christus-Impulses ist, das kommt dem Menschen, der aus diesem Kinde wird, in dem ganzen späteren Leben zugute. Nach dem Erwachen des Ich-Bewußtseins können wir schon einzelnes tun, wenn auch nur ein dämmerndes Bewußtsein vorhanden ist. Nach dem Erwachen des Ich-Bewußtseins sieht zum Beispiel das Kind, wenn wir auch noch nicht beginnen können mit physischen Mitteln auf es einzuwirken, zu der Sixtinischen Madonna und zu dem Kreuze mit dem Christus daran ganz anders auf als vorher. Denn so, wie das Mysterium von Golgatha hereingetretem ist in die irdische Menschheitsentwickelung, so ist es dazu bestimmt, in den Fortschritt des Geisteslebens auf dem physischen Plane zu wirken.

Das Kind lernt gehen, das heißt, es lernt sich erheben aus der Lage, in der es noch unfähig ist, seine Leibesrichtung von der Erde ab in die Himmelshöhen des Kosmos hinauf zu richten. Es lernt aus der einen Lage in jene andere sich bringen, durch die sich der Mensch in erster Linie vom Tier unterscheidet. Es lernt durch eigene innere Kraft sich die aufrechte Stellung zu geben, den Blick abzuwenden vom Irdischen, zu dem ihn das Tier durch seine ganze Bestimmung und Gestalt dennoch gerichtet haben muß, denn die Ausnahmen sind nur scheinbar. Die aufrechte Stellung ist es, die das Kind lernt, bevor das Ich-Bewußtsein erwacht. Wir wiederholen wirklich in unserem jetzigen nachatlantischen Leben die Dinge, die wir als Mensch überhaupt uns erst angeeignet haben im Laufe der Zeit. Was wir uns während der alten lemurischen Zeit erst nach und nach angeeignet haben, das Aufrechtgehen-Lernen, das Aufrechtstehen-Lernen, das wiederholen wir, bevor unser Ich bewußt erwacht, jetzt im kindlichen Alter. Das ist hineingedrängt in die Zeit, wo es noch nicht von unserem Bewußtsein abhängt, wo es noch als unbewußte Aufrichtekraft wirkt. Jene Tiere, welche einen annähernd vertikalen, annähernd nach oben gerichteten Gang haben, haben den ganzen Organismus so eingerichtet, daß sie von Natur in diese doch im Grunde nicht ganz aufrechte Lage kommen. Wie so mancher Vergleich, würde aber auch dieser irren. Der Mensch ist dazu berufen, in der ersten Zeit seines Lebens, bevor sein Ich-Bewußtsein erwacht, aus der Veranlagung dieses Ich heraus sich in die aufrechte, die vertikale Stellung zu bringen, sich herauszuheben aus der Lage, in der er noch in der alten Mondenzeit war. Da war die Richtungslinie seines Rückgrates parallel der Oberfläche des Mondes gerichtet, war in der Hauptlinie horizontal. In der alten lemurischen Zeit lernte der Mensch die Mondrichtung in die Erdrichtung verwandeln. Das kam davon, weil während der Erdenentwickelung erst die Geister der Form dem Menschen aus eigener Substanz heraus sein Ich einflößten. Und die erste Manifestation dieser Ich-Einflößung ist jene innere Kraft, durch welche der Mensch sich aufrichtet. So ist der Mensch durch seine Lage der Erde entrissen. Die Erde selber hat in sich geistige Kräfte, welche durchströmen können das Rückgrat, wenn es im natürlichen Wachstum, wie beim Tierleib, horizontal bleibt. Aber die Erde hat keine Kräfte, um von sich aus unmittelbar zu dienen dem Menschenwesen, das durch sein Ich, dessen Bewußtsein später erwacht, vertikal gerichtet sein kann. Damit der Mensch sich harmonisch entwickeln kann bei aufrechtem, vertikalem Gang, müssen Kräfte aus dem Kosmos, aus dem Außerirdischen hereinströmen. Luzifer und Ahriman hätten alle menschliche Entwickelung in Unordnung bringen können dadurch, daß der Mensch durch seine aufrechte Stellung von den geistigen Kräften des Irdischen herausgerissen ist, wenn nicht in der alten lemurischen Zeit das erste Christus-Ereignis eingetreten wäre.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":479,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p007"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p008","passage_number":8,"text":"In dieser alten Jemurischen Zeit hat stattgefunden in demjenigen Reiche, das als geistiges Reich das nächste ist unserem Erdenreiche, die Durchdringung jenes Wesens, aber als einer Art von Engelwesen, das später der nathanische Jesus geworden ist, mit dem Christus-Wesen.
