Thinking, feeling and willing were threatened with disorder through the entrance of selfishness. What would have been the result of this? Well, the human being would have intended this or that, and followed this or that impulse of will, while his thinking would have impelled him in quite a different direction, and his feeling in still another. It was necessary for human evolution that thinking, feeling and willing should become unselfish members of the united soul. Under the influence of Lucifer and Ahriman they could not have done this. Thought, feeling and will, becoming independently self-seeking, would have rent asunder the harmonious working of the Christ. In consequence, toward the end of the Atlantean evolution, the third Christ event occurred. Once more the Christ Being ensouled Himself in an archangel, and the power thus generated in the spiritual world made possible the harmonization of thinking, feeling and willing. Truly, as the rays of the physical sun must act upon earth to prevent the withering of plant life, so must the Sun Spirit be reflected upon earth from supramundane spheres as I have just explained.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Four Sacrifices of Christ","site_heading":null,"date":"1914-06-01","location":null,"word_count":197,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/152/1914-06-01/p016","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Four Sacrifices of Christ","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/Singles/19140601p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-06-01/p016"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/152/1914-06-01/p016","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Da sollte in Unordnung kommen Denken, Fühlen und Wollen. Die Selbstsucht sollte einziehen in Denken, Fühlen und Wollen. Was würde dadurch entstanden sein? Nun, der Mensch würde dieses oder jenes gewollt haben, würde diesen oder jenen Willensimpulsen nachgegangen sein, einem andern Impuls würde sein Denken, wieder einem andern sein Fühlen nachgegangen sein. Notwendig war es für die Menschheitsentwickelung, daß Denken, Fühlen und Wollen sich als selbstlose Dinge der Gesamtheit der Seele einfügten. Unter dem bloßen Einfluß von Luzifer und Ahriman würden sie das nicht gekonnt haben. Da würden Denken, Fühlen, Wollen selbstsüchtig geworden sein, sie hätten gleichsam das harmonische Wirken der Seele zerrissen. Da trat dann, gegen Ende der atlantischen Entwickelung, das dritte Christus-Ereignis ein. Wiederum verseelte sich die Christus-Wesenheit in einem Erzengelwesen, und die Kraft, die in der überirdischen Welt dadurch entstand, daß der Christus ein Erzengelwesen durchdrang, die ermöglichte die Harmonisierung von Denken, Fühlen und Wollen. Wahrhaftig, so wie die physischen Sonnenstrahlen auf die Erde wirken müssen, damit nicht alles Pflanzenleben verdorrt, so muß von überirdischen Welten der Sonnengeist spiegelnd auf die Erde herein wirken, wie ich es jetzt geschildert habe. Auf der dritten Stufe hat er harmonisiert Denken, Fühlen und Wollen, so wie sie für das normale Menschenleben harmonisiert werden mußten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":221,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-06-01/p013"}],"english":["GA 152/1914-06-01/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":221,"en_words":197,"ratio":0.89,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.87,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4842,"original_word_count":5593,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Four Sacrifices of Christ","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/Singles/19140601p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 152/1914-06-01/p013"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
