These people bring into theosophy the most intense egoism, a super-egoism; they do not certainly put it into words, but still they really think and feel: ‘If I can only redeem myself in my Karma, what does it matter to me about the world? Let it do what it will!’ These theosophists are quite satisfied if they can speak of karmic adjustment: but there is a great deal more to be done. Man would be purely a Luciferic being if he were to think only of himself. Man is a member of the whole world, and he must think about the whole world in a sense of sacrifice. He must think about it in the sense that he can indeed be egoistically redeemed through his Karma, but that he cannot at the same time, redeem the whole earth-existence. Christ enters into that. At the moment we decide not to think only of our Ego, we must think about something other than our Ego. Of what must we think? Of the ‘Christ in me’ as Paul says; then indeed we are united with Him in the whole earth-existence. We do not then think of our self-redemption, but we say: ‘Not I and my own redemption—not I, but the Christ in me, and the earth-redemption.’","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":233,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/155/1914-07-15_02/p025","unit_kind":{"kind":"second_translation","base_unit":"GA 155/1914-07-15","note":"A second English translation of the same lecture as 1914-07-15.

There is surely very little true Christian feeling here. The question may perhaps be permitted: ‘Is it really Christian to think that I may do anything, and that Christ only came into the world for the sake of taking it all away from me and to forgive my sins, so that I may have nothing more to do with my Karma, with my sins?’ I think there is another word more applicable to such a mode of thought than the word ‘Christian’; perhaps the word ‘convenient’ would be better. ‘Convenient’ it certainly would be, if a man had only to repent, and then all the sins that he had committed in the world were obliterated for the whole of his later Karma. The sin is not blotted out from Karma; but it can be blotted out from the earth-evolution, and this it is that man cannot do because of the human weakness that is the result of the Luciferic temptation. Christ accomplishes this. With the remission of sins we are saved from the pain of having added an objective debt to the Earth-evolution for all eternity. When we have this understanding of Christ a greater earnestness will manifest itself in many other things as well. Many elements will fall away from those conceptions of Christ which may well seem full of triviality and cynicism to the man whose soul has absorbed the Christ-conception in all seriousness. For all that has been said to-day, and that can be proved point by point from the most significant passages of the New Testament, tells us that all that Christ is to us comes from the fact that He is not a Being like other men, but a Being Who, from above, that is, ‘out of the cosmos,’ entered into the earth-evolution at the baptism by John in Jordan. Everything proves the cosmic nature of Christ. And he who deeply grasps Christ's attitude towards sin and debt, may speak thus: ‘Because man in the course of the earth's existence could not blot out his guilt for the whole earth—a cosmic Being had to descend in order that it might be made possible for the earth-debt to be discharged.’ True, Christianity must needs regard Christ as a cosmic Being. It cannot do otherwise. Our soul must be deeply permeated by what is meant in the words: ‘Not I, but Christ in me.’ For then from this knowledge there radiates into our soul something that I can only express in these words: ‘When I am able to say: “Not I, but Christ in me” in that moment I assert that I shall be removed from the earth-sphere, that in me there lives some thing that has significance for the cosmos, and that I am counted worthy, as man, to bear a super-earthly element in my soul just as I bear within me a super-earthly being in all that has entered me from Saturn, Sun and Moon.’","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":507,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/155/1914-07-15_02/p026","unit_kind":{"kind":"second_translation","base_unit":"GA 155/1914-07-15","note":"A second English translation of the same lecture as 1914-07-15.

He who would prove himself worthy of the Christ in his soul will first prove to himself whether he ought to say a thing about which he happens at the moment to be convinced. Many things will be changed when a true conception of Christ comes into the world. All those people who write to-day or disfigure paper with printers' ink because they promptly write down things, of which they have no knowledge, will come to realize that they are thereby putting the Christ in the human soul to shame. And then the excuse will cease: ‘Yes, I thought so; I said it in quite good faith.’ Christ wants more than ‘good faith,’ Christ would fain lead men to the Truth. He Himself has said, ‘The Truth will make you free.’ But where has Christ ever said that when people imagine that they are thinking as He would have them think, this, that, or the other may be shouted out or proclaimed in writing to the world, when they really know nothing about it? Much will be changed! A great deal of modern writing will be unable to exist any longer when men start from the principle of proving themselves worthy of the saying: ‘Not I, but the Christ in me.’ The canker of our decadent civilization will be rooted out when there is a cessation of those voices which, without real conviction, cry everything out into the world, or cover paper with printers' ink irresponsibly, without being first convinced that they are speaking the truth.

Und diese Theosophen sind zufrieden, wenn sie nur von dem karmischen Ausgleich sprechen können. Aber damit ist es nicht getan. Der Mensch wäre ein rein luziferisches Wesen, wenn er nur an sich denken würde. Der Mensch ist ein Glied der ganzen Welt, und der Mensch muß hingebungsvoll gegenüber der ganzen Welt denken. So muß er darüber denken, daß er zwar sich selbst für sich egoistisch erlösen kann durch das Karma, daß er aber nicht das ganze Erdensein miterlösen könnte. Da tritt der Christus ein. Und in dem Augenblick, wo wir uns entschließen, nicht nur an unser Ich zu denken, müssen wir an etwas anderes noch denken als an unser Ich. Aber an was müssen wir denken?

Man muß wahrhaftig eigentlich recht wenig christlichen Sinn haben, wenn man das Christentum so interpretiert, wie es viele machen, die da glauben, sich echte Christen nennen zu dürfen, und die andere, zum Beispiel anthroposophische Christen, verketzern. Man muß dazu wenig christlichen Sinn haben. Es darf ja vielleicht die Frage erlaubt sein: Ist es denn wirklich christlich, zu denken, daß ich alles tun darf und der Christus eigentlich nur in die Welt gekommen ist, um mir das alles abzunehmen, um mir meine Sünde zu vergeben, so daß ich mit meinem Karma, mit meiner Sünde nichts mehr zu tun habe? Ich glaube, es ist ein anderes Wort anwendbar auf eine solche Denkweise als das Wort «christlich»; vielleicht wäre das Wort «bequem» besser als das Wort «christlich». Bequem wäre es ja allerdings, wenn man bloß zu bereuen hätte, und ausgelöscht wäre dadurch für sein ganzes späteres Karma alles das, was man in der Welt verbrochen hat. Nein, aus dem Karma ist es nicht ausgelöscht, aber davon kann es ausgelöscht werden, wohin wir wegen der menschlichen Schwäche, durch die luziferische Verführung, nicht selbst dringen können: von der Erdenentwickelung. Und das tut der Christus. Dieses Leid wird uns genommen mit der Sündenerlösung: daß wir für ewige Zeiten der ganzen Erdenentwickelung eine objektive Schuld zugefügt haben. Dafür müssen wir natürlich ein ernstes Interesse haben. Dann aber, wenn wir die Sache so auffassen, dann wird sich wahrhaftig auch in vielen anderen Dingen ein kräftiger Ernst verbinden mit einer echten, wahren Christus-Auffassung. Ein tiefer Ernst wird sich mit ihr verbinden, und manches wird abfallen von mancher Christus-Auffassung, das demjenigen, der den ganzen Ernst der Christus-Auffassung in seine Seele nimmt, geradezu als eine Art Frivolität und Zynismus erscheinen könnte. Denn alles, alles, was heute gesprochen worden ist und was Punkt für Punkt gerade mit wichtigsten Stellen aus dem Neuen Testament belegt werden kann, das spricht uns ja dafür: Alles das, was uns der Christus ist, ist er uns dadurch, daß er nicht ein Wesen ist wie andere Menschen, sondern ein Wesen, das von oben, das heißt aus dem Kosmos, bei der Johannestaufe im Jordan in die menschliche Erdenentwickelung eingeflossen ist. Alles spricht für die kosmische Natur des Christus, Und wer im tiefen Sinne auffaßt, wie der Christus sich stellt zu Sünde und Schuld, der möchte so sagen: Es mußte, eben weil der Mensch im Laufe des Erdendaseins seine Schuld nicht tilgen konnte für die ganze Erde, ein kosmisches Wesen heruntersteigen, daß es doch möglich gemacht werde, daß die Erdenschuld getilgt werde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":415,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1914-07-15_02/p033"},{"locus":"GA 155/1914-07-15_02/p034","passage_number":34,"text":"Wahres Christentum kann gar nicht anders, als den Christus als ein kosmisches Wesen ansehen.
