From the occult point of view, we are clear that those who wrote the Gospels wrote them according to the inspirations of ancient mysteries, from an atavistic clairvoyance. I have pointed this out in my book “Christianity as a Mystical Fact”. The first person to have an impression of the cosmic significance of the Christ was Paul; Paul, who was able to perceive how the power of the Christ-Being had flowed into the earth aura. What had emerged for Paul at a certain point in his knowledge of the Christ can, if we deepen our knowledge of occultism today, emerge for people in further fields of knowledge of the Christ. For by extending Paul's vision from the Mystery of Golgotha to its three preliminary stages, by extending it from what for Paul is almost exclusively the perception of Jesus of Nazareth to the life of Christ Jesus, then, in a sense, Paul's method is spread from a single center over the whole great phenomenon of the Christ Jesus life. In that today, through dedicated occult research, we are able to generalize the Pauline method for the realization of the Christ, real progress in the realization of the Christ has been made.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Im okkulten Standpunkt sind wir uns klar darüber, daß diejenigen, die die Evangelien geschrieben haben, sie nach den Inspirationen alter Mysterien, aus einem atavistischen Hellsehen heraus geschrieben haben. Ich habe darauf hingewiesen in meinem Buche «Das Christentum als mystische Tatsache». Der erste, welcher eine Impression hatte von der kosmischen Bedeutung des Christus, war Paulus; Paulus, der wahrnehmen konnte, wie hereingeströmt war die Kraft der Christus-Wesenheit in die Erdenaura. Dasjenige, was dem Paulus für einen bestimmten Punkt der Christus-Erkenntnis aufgegangen war, das kann, wenn wir den Okkultismus unserer Tage vertiefen, für weitere Felder der Christus-Erkenntnis dem Menschen aufgehen. Denn indem das Schauen des Paulus ausgedehnt wird von dem Mysterium von Golgatha auf seine drei Vorstufen, indem es ausgedehnt wird von dem, was bei Paulus fast nur die Wahrnehmung ist des Jesus von Nazareth, auf das Leben des Christus Jesus, dann wird gewissermaßen die Paulinische Methode von einem einzigen Zentrum aus über die ganze große Erscheinung des Christus Jesus-Lebens verbreitet. Indem wir auf diese Weise heute dutch eine hingebungsvolle okkulte Forschung in die Lage kommen können, die Paulinische Methode gleichsam allgemein zu machen für die Christus-Erkenntnis, hat sich ein wirklicher Fortschritt in der Erkenntnis des Christus vollzogen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":216,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-05-27/p034"}],"english":["GA 152/1914-05-27/p034"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":216,"en_words":223,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5623,"original_word_count":5431,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Prelude to the Mystery of Golgotha","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/SOL2024/19140527.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
