First, the belief in the divine at the bottom of every human soul, and secondly, the boundless love of man which springs from this belief. For if was only this measureless love which could bring Francis of Assisi to the sick, the crippled and those stricken with leprosy. A third thing which may be added and is necessarily built upon these two foundations, is that a person who has a firm belief in the goodness of the human soul, and who loves human nature, cannot do otherwise than admit that what we see proceeding from the co-operation of the originally good foundation of the human soul with practical love, justifies a perspective for the future which may be expressed in the fact that every single soul, even though it may have descended far from the height of spiritual life, can be led back again to this spiritual life. This third impulse implies the hope for each human soul that it can find the way back again to the Divine-Spiritual.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Moral Impulses: From Atlantean Fall to Francis of Assisi","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.

Denn nur diese maßlose Liebe war es, die Franz von Assisi hinführen konnte zu den Siechen, den Gebrechlichen, den Seuchenbehafteten. Ein Drittes, das noch dazukommt, das notwendig sich auf diesen zwei Grundlagen aufbaut, ist, daß ein solcher Mensch, der die Grundlagen des Glaubens an das Gute der menschlichen Seele und die Liebe zu der menschlichen Natur hat, nicht anders kann als sich sagen: Dasjenige, was wir aus dem Zusammenwirken des ursprünglich guten Grundes der menschlichen Seele und der werktätigen Liebe hervorgehen sehen, das berechtigt zu einer Perspektive für die Zukunft, die sich dahin aussprechen kann, daß eine jegliche Seele, auch wenn sie noch so weit herabgestiegen ist aus der Höhe des geistigen Lebens, für dieses geistige Leben wiedergefunden werden kann. Das ist der dritte Impuls, das ist die Hoffnung für jede Menschenseele, daß sie den Weg wieder zurückfinden kann zu dem Göttlich-Geistigen. Diese drei Impulse, wir können sagen, daß sie Franz von Assisi unendlich oft hat aussprechen hören, daß sie ihm unendlich oft vor Augen getreten sind während seiner Einweihung in die kolchischen Mysterien. Wir können aber auch sagen, daß er in dem Leben, das er als Franz von Assisi zu führen hatte, wenig predigte von Glauben, von Liebe, daß er aber selber die Verkörperung war dieses Glaubens und dieser Liebe. In ihm waren sie gleichsam verleiblicht. In ihm traten sie wie ein lebendiges Sinnbild vor die damalige Welt. In der Mitte von allem steht natürlich doch dasjenige, was wirkte. Es wirkte nicht der Glaube, es wirkte nicht die Hoffnung. Die muß man zwar haben, aber wirksam ist nur die Liebe, Sie steht mitten darinnen, sie ist dasjenige, was die wirkliche Weiterentwickelung der Menschheit zum Göttlichen im Sinne des Moralischen eigentlich getragen hat in der einzelnen Inkarnation bei Franz von Assisi.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":326,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1912-05-29/p036"}],"english":["GA 155/1912-05-29/p039","GA 155/1912-05-29/p040"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":326,"en_words":299,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7065,"original_word_count":7143,"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/APC1928/19120529p02.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.
