Und indem wir mittendrin stehen in der fünften nachatlantischen Periode, indem wir Geisteswissenschaft pflegen und immer mehr und mehr zum Verständnis des lebendigen Gedankens, des hellseherisch werdenden Denkens beizutragen haben, haben wir zugleich die sechste nachatlantische Periode vorzubereiten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":64,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p027"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p028","passage_number":28,"text":"Wie in die Gedanken das Leben hereinströmt durch den Christus-Impuls, so wird er noch in etwas hereinströmen, was zur menschlichen Seelenfähigkeit gehört und was nicht verwechselt werden darf mit dem bloßen Gedanken. Aus dem Unbewußten heraus entwickelt das Kind seine Fähigkeiten. Indem es zum Ich-Bewußtsein kommt, tritt es in die Sphäre ein, wo es sich aneignen kann, wo es entwickeln muß dasjenige, was von außen hereinkommen kann durch den Christus-Impuls. Wir können, wenn das Kind gehen gelernt hat, wenn es sprechen gelernt hat, und wenn es beginnt mit dem Denkenlernen sich durchzuarbeiten zu dem Ich, wir können es allmählich schon sehen, wie der bewußte Christus-Impuls, der durch das Mysterium von Golgatha hereingekommen ist, auf das Kind wirkt. Die Menschheit kann heute in etwas anderes, was in ihrem Seelenvermögen liegt, den Christus-Impuls noch nicht hineinnehmen. Hineinzuleiten diesen Christus-Impuls in das aufrechte Gehen, in Sprechen und Denken, das ist durch dasjenige möglich, was seit Jahrtausenden für die Menschen da ist mit der Menschheitskultur. In ein viertes Element hineinzuleiten den Christus-Impuls, vorzubereiten dieses Hineinleiten in ein viertes menschliches Vermögen, daran müssen wir auch denken, wenn wir uns im rechten Sinn auf den Boden der Geisteswissenschaft stellen. Daran müssen wir auch denken! Wo hinein der Christus-Impuls noch nicht geleitet werden kann, wo hineingeleitet zu werden er sich aber vorbereitet, das ist die menschliche Erinnerung, das Erinnern des Menschen. Denn außer dem Aufrechtgehen und -stehen, dem Reden oder Sprechen, dem Denken, tritt jetzt die Christus-Kraft in das Erinnern ein. Wir können verstehen den Christus, wenn er durch die Evangelien zu uns spricht. Aber wir werden als Menschen erst dazu vorbereitet, daß der Christus auch eintritt in die Gedanken, die dann als erinnerte Gedanken und Vorstellungen in uns leben und sind und so weiter in uns leben. Und eine Zeit wird herankommen für die Menschheit, die allerdings erst vollständig werden wird in der sechsten größeren Periode der Menschheitsentwickelung, aber jetzt sich vorbereitet, wo die Menschen hinsehen werden auf das, was sie erlebt und erfahren haben und was als Erinnerung in ihnen lebt, und werden sehen können, daß in der Kraft des Erinnerns der Christus mitlebt. Durch jede Vorstellung wird der Christus sprechen können. Und auch wenn wir unsere Vorstellungen in der Erinnerung wiederbeleben, so wird in der Erinnerung, in dem, was so eng, so intim mit uns verbunden ist wie unsere Erinnerung, der Christus mit verbunden sein. Zurückblicken wird der Mensch können auf sein Leben und sagen wird er sich: So wie ich mich erinnere, so wie die Kraft des Gedächtnisses in mir lebt, so lebt in diesem Gedächtnis der hineingegossene Christus-Impuls. Der Weg, der den Menschen geboten wird, immer mehr und mehr wahr zu machen die Worte: Nicht ich, der Christus in mir, — der Weg wird dadurch geebnet, daß in die Erinnerungskraft allmählich der Christus-Impuls einziehen wird. Er ist jetzt noch nicht darinnen. Wenn er darinnen sein wird, wenn nicht nur im Verständnis des Menschen der Christus-Impuls lebt, sondern wenn der Christus-Impuls sich über den ganzen Saum, über den ganzen Streifen von Erinnerungen ausgießen wird, dann wird der Mensch zum Beispiel nicht nur angewiesen sein darauf, aus äußeren Dokumenten Geschichte zu lernen, denn dann wird sich seine Erinnerungskraft erweitern. Der Christus wird in dieser Erinnerung leben. Und der Mensch wird dadurch, daß der Christus in seine Erinnerungskraft eingezogen ist, dadurch, daß der Christus in der Erinnerungskraft lebt, der Mensch wird dadurch wissen, wie bis zum Mysterium von Golgatha hin der Christus außerirdisch gewirkt hat, wie er es vorbereitet hat und durchgegangen ist durch dieses Mysterium von Golgatha, und wie er als Impuls weiterwirkt in der Geschichte. So wahr und wirklich wird der Mensch das überschauen, wie jetzt im gewöhnlichen Leben die Erinnerung da ist. Man wird die irdische Entwickelung der Menschheit nicht anders überschauen können innerlich als so, daß man dann den Christus-Impuls im Mittelpunkt erblickt. Alle Erinnerungskraft wird durchsetzt und zugleich verstärkt werden durch das Eindringen des Christus-Impulses in die Gedächtniskraft, in die Erinnerungskraft. In der Zukunft kann für uns, die wir das Christentum lebendig erfassen sollen, auch das noch Geltung haben:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":669,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p028"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p029","passage_number":29,"text":"> Im Urbeginne ist die Erinnerung,  \n> Und die Erinnerung lebt weiter,  \n> Und göttlich ist die Erinnerung.  \n> Und die Erinnerung ist Leben,  \n> Und dieses Leben ist das Ich des Menschen,  \n> Das im Menschen selber strömt.  \n> Nicht er allein, der Christus in ihm.  \n> Wenn er sich an das göttliche Leben erinnert,  \n> Ist in seiner Erinnerung der Christus,  \n> Und als strahlendes Erinnerungsleben  \n> Wird der Christus leuchten  \n> In jede unmittelbar gegenwärtige Finsternis.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":79,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p029"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p030","passage_number":30,"text":"Wir werden sagen können: Der Christus ist in unserem inneren Seelenleben. Das wird mancher von uns empfinden dadurch, daß wir lernen, uns mit dem Christus-Impuls zu verbinden durch die Erinnerung, wie der Mensch als Kind gelernt hat sich aufzurichten, zu sprechen, indem er sich mit dem Christus-Impuls verbunden hat. Mancher von uns empfindet auch dadurch, daß wir unser Erinnerungsvermögen in dem Zustand, wie wir es jetzt haben, wie eine Vorbereitung betrachten, etwas, das in Unordnung kommen würde in Zukunft, wenn es nicht den Willen hätte, sich von dem Christus-Impuls durchdringen zu lassen. Würde es einen Materialismus auf der Erde geben, der den Christus ableugnet, dann würde die Erinnerung in Unordnung kommen. Dann würden immer mehr und mehr Menschen auftreten, deren Erinnerung chaotisch würde, die dumpfer und dumpfer sein würden in ihrem finsteren Ich-Bewußtsein, wenn nicht Erinnerung in dieses finstere Ich-Bewußtsein hereinleuchten würde. Unser Erinnerungsvermögen kann nur dann sich richtig entwickeln, wenn der Christus-Impuls richtig geschaut wird. Dann wird Geschichte wie eine lebendige Erinnerung so leben, daß in die Erinnerung das Verständnis für die wahren Geschehnisse dringt. Dann wird die menschliche Erinnerung den Mittelpunkt des Weltgeschehens verstehen. Dann macht sich für den Menschen das Schauen geltend. Die gewöhnliche Erinnerung, die auf ein Leben sich nur richtet, die wird sich ausdehnen auf die vorhergehenden Inkarnationen. Erinnerung ist jetzt eine Vorbereitung, aber ausgestaltet wird sie durch den Christus. Ob wir nach außen blicken, wie wir uns als Kind heraufentwickelt haben noch unbewußt, ob wir dann nach innen blicken, ob wir durch weitergehende Vertiefung unseres Innern bis zu dem, was als unser Inneres in der Erinnerung bleibt, hineinblicken, überall sehen wir die lebendige Kraft und Wirksamkeit des Christus-Impulses.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-07/p030"},{"locus":"GA 152/1914-03-07/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"In dem neuen Christus-Ereignis, das jetzt nicht physisch, aber ätherisch herankommt, das zusammenhängt mit der ersten Entfachung der Erinnerungsfähigkeit, mit der ersten Entfachung des Durchchristetwerdens der Erinnerung, wird dieses Christus-Ereignis so sein, daß der Christus als engelartiges Wesen an den Menschen herantreten wird.
