What really underlies such a picture? Let us take, not the deep esoteric fact, but the picture that is here presented to our soul. We see the righteous and the sinners. It is possible to present this picture differently from the way in which Michelangelo, as a Christian, has done. There is the possibility that at the end of the earth, men, seeing their Karma might say to themselves: ‘Yes, I have indeed wiped off my Karma, but everywhere in the spiritual there stand, written on tablets of brass, my guilt and sin, and these are of serious import for the earth; they must destroy the earth. As far as I am concerned, I have made compensation, but there the guilt stands, everywhere.’ That would not, however, be the truth; it might be there, but it would not be the truth. For through the fact of Christ's death upon Golgotha, man will not see the tables of his guilt and sin, but he will see Him Who has taken them upon Himself; he will see, atoned in the Being of Christ, all that would otherwise be spread out in the Akashic Record. In place of the Akashic Record, the Christ stands before him, having taken all upon himself.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Christ and the Human Soul III","site_heading":null,"date":"1914-07-15","location":null,"word_count":238,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/155/1914-07-15_02/p019","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Henry Collison","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"How the Spiritual World Interpenetrates the Physical","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/SpiritPhys/19140715p02.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/155/1914-07-15_02/p019"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/155/1914-07-15_02/p019","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.

Wem möchte nicht einen großen Eindruck machen der Christus als Richter des « Jüngsten Gerichtes» zum Beispiel auf einem solchen Bilde, wie das von Michelangelo in der Sixtinischen Kapelle ist? Was liegt denn eigentlich dem zugrunde? Nun, nehmen wir nicht die tiefe esoterische Tatsache, sondern das Bildliche, das sich da vor unsere Seele hinstellt. Da sehen wir die Gerechten und sehen die Sünder. Es gäbe eine Möglichkeit, dieses Bild noch anders darzustellen, als es Michelangelo tut als Christ, nämlich die Möglichkeit, daß die Menschen am Erdenende oder nach dem Erdenende sehen würden ihr Karma, daß sie sich sagen würden: Ja, mein Karma habe ich zwar ausgetilgt, aber da stehen überall im Geistigen geschrieben auf ehernen Tafeln meine Schulden, und die Schulden bedeuten Schwere für die Erde, sie müssen die Erde vernichten. Für mich habe ich es ausgeglichen, aber da steht es überall. — Es wäre aber keine Wahrheit; es könnte so dastehen, aber es wäre keine Wahrheit. Denn dadurch, daß der Christus auf Golgatha gestorben ist, wird der Mensch nicht sehen seine Schuldentafeln, sondern er wird den sehen, der sie übernommen hat; sehen wird er vereinigt in der Wesenheit des Christus alles dasjenige, was sonst ausgebreitet wäre in der Akasha-Chronik. Der Christus steht statt der Akasha-Chronik vor ihm, er hat das alles auf sich genommen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1914-07-15_02/p027"}],"english":["GA 155/1914-07-15_02/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":238,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6436,"original_word_count":6440,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Henry Collison","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"How the Spiritual World Interpenetrates the Physical","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/SpiritPhys/19140715p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 155/1914-07-15_02/p027"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
