You are destined to transform all the forces at your disposal into powers of the soul, into weapons forged for your use. All the weapons you saw in the palace signify the spiritual weapons of mercy, compassion and love. The shields signify the reasoning powers which you have to exercise to stand firmly in the trials of a life spent in deeds of mercy, compassion and love.” Then followed a short though dangerous illness, from which, however, he recovered. After that he passed through something like a retrospection of the whole of his life and in this he lived, for several days. The young knight who in his boldest dreams had only longed to become a great warrior was transformed into a man who now most earnestly sought all the impulses of mercy, compassion and love. All the forces he had thought of using in the service of the physical world were transformed into moral impulses of the inner life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Moral Impulses and Spiritual Sources of Ethics","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Du bist bestimmt, alle Kräfte, welche du anwenden kannst, umzugestalten zu Kräften des Seelischen, umzugestalten als Waffen, die du seelisch gebrauchen sollst. Alle Waffen, die dir erschienen sind im Palaste, bedeuten dir seelisch-geistige Waffen des Erbarmens, des Mitleids und der Liebe. Alle Schilder bedeuten dir die Vernunft, die du anzuwenden hast, um festzustehen gegenüber den Mühsalen eines in Erbarmen, Mitleid und Liebe zugebrachten Lebens. — Nachher folgte eine kurze, wenn auch nicht ungefährliche Krankheit, von der er aber genas. Danach ergab sich für ihn etwas wie eine Rückschau auf das ganze frühere Leben, in der er mehrere Tage lebte. Wie umgeschmiedet war der ganze Rittersmann, der in seinen kühnsten Träumen sich nur danach gesehnt hatte, ein Kriegsheld zu werden, zu einem Manne, der nun alle moralischen Impulse des Erbarmens, des Mitleids und der Liebe bis in das letzte hinein suchte. Alle Kräfte, die er im Dienste des physischen Planes verwenden wollte, waren umgewandelt zu moralischen Impulsen des inneren Lebens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1912-05-28/p037"}],"english":["GA 155/1912-05-28/p040"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":198,"en_words":197,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.93,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6345,"original_word_count":6820,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Henry Collison","identified_edition":"APC1928","book_title":"Anthroposophical Ethics","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA155/English/APC1928/19120528p02.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","note":"rsarchive's lecture list spells the credit 'Harry Collison'; the lecture pages of this edition print 'Henry Collison', which is served.","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
