Friends, who are in our circles, will often have asked themselves, why I have spoken in our circle during the last years now and again of the fact that in decades of the 20th century times come for which we must look ahead with a particular attention because children and grandchildren of those who live now will have to experience important and immense, but also tragic and painful events. Those upon whom it is incumbent today to give something to keep the souls of the children and grandchildren upright towards that what the humankind of the 20th century experiences must be aware that this gift must be a strong internal spiritual force. Even more than we can imagine already today in our everyday life, our offsprings of the 20th century will need strong internal forces keeping up the soul to pass on the achievements of humankind, which were accumulated in the human development throughout centuries. To quite other storms of life the offsprings of humankind now living on earth will be exposed. I said that someone could be surprised when that was said within our circles that way. Now, however, a sensation of that may arise if we consider that we are in the most dreadful war events which concerned human beings, since humankind experiences history consciously on this earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Oftmals werden sich Freunde, die in unseren Reihen sind, gefragt haben, warum in den letzten Jahren in unserem Kreise zuweilen davon gesprochen worden ist, daß in den Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts Zeiten kommen werden, auf die wir mit einer besonderen Aufmerksamkeit vorausblicken müssen, weil die Kinder und Kindeskinder derer, die jetzt leben, wichtige und gewaltige,aber auch tragische und schmerzende Ereignisse werden zu durchleben haben. Denen, welchen es heute obliegt, etwas mitzugeben, um die Seelen der Kinder und Kindeskinder aufrechtzuerhalten gegenüber dem, was über die Menschheit des 20. Jahrhunderts kommen wird, muß bewußt sein, daß dieses Mitzugebende eine starke innere geistige Kraft sein muß. Viel, viel mehr als wir uns heute schon im gewöhnlichen Leben vorstellen können, werden unsere Nachkommen des 20. Jahrhunderts starke innere, die Seele haltende Kräfte brauchen, um fortzutragen die Güter der Menschheit, die in der Menschheitsentwickelung durch Jahrhunderte und Jahrhunderte angesammelt worden sind. Und noch ganz andern Stürmen des Lebens werden die Nachkommen der jetzt lebenden Erdenmenschheit ausgesetzt sein. Ich sagte, man hat sich manchmal wundern können, wenn das in unseren Reihen so gesagt worden ist. Vielleicht kann aber jetzt eine Empfindung davon entstehen, wenn wir bedenken, daß wir in den größten kriegerischen Ereignissen, den furchtbarsten kriegerischen Ereignissen darinstehen, die jemals die Menschen betroffen haben, seitdem die Menschheit eine bewußte Geschichte auf dieser Erde durchlebt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":242,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p004"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-03-13/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":242,"en_words":245,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9256,"original_word_count":9181,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"UNK2013","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/UNK2013/19150313p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
