In this connection we remarked, that in the season when the outer physical rays of the Sun have the least power, the spiritual power enveloping the Earth is greatest. Therefore the Christmas Festival is rightly placed in the season when the darkness is physically greatest. Then it is that illumination comes over the soul that is capable of illumination. Therefore, the legend tells, it was just in this season that Olaf Asteson attuned his inner life of soul, so that it was taken hold of by those forces which as spiritual light pass from the Sun into the aura of the Earth, at the time when the outer forces of the Sun are weakest. Until the 6th of January he really underwent an entry into the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Brunetto Latini","site_heading":null,"date":"1915-01-30","location":null,"word_count":166,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/161/1915-01-30/p047","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"George Adams","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"Brunetto Latini","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA161/English/Singles/19150130p01.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/161/1915-01-30/p047"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/161/1915-01-30/p047","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.

Januar. Wir haben daran gewisse Bemerkungen geknüpft: daß in der Jahreszeit, wo die äußeren physischen Sonnenstrahlen die geringste Kraft haben, die geistige Kraft, welche die Erde umhüllt, die größte ist. Deshalb ist das Weihnachtsfest mit großem Recht in die Zeit gelegt, in der physisch die größte Finsternis ist. In der Finsternis kommt die geistige Erleuchtung über die menschliche Seele, die der Erleuchtung fähig ist. Deshalb wird uns die Legende von Olaf Åsteson erzählt: wie er gerade in der Zeit sein Seelisch-Inneres stimmt so, daß die Kräfte, die als geistig-spirituelle Lichtkräfte von der Sonne hineingehen in die Erdenaura in der Zeit, wo die äußere Sonnenkraft am schwächsten ist, seine Seele ergreifen, und er wirklich bis in die Zeit des 6. Januar durchmacht dasjenige, was man nennen kann: ein Hereinschreiten in die geistige Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":170,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/161/1915-01-30/p043"}],"english":["GA 161/1915-01-30/p047"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":170,"en_words":166,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5367,"original_word_count":5385,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George Adams","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"Brunetto Latini","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA161/English/Singles/19150130p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"discrepancy","checked_against":["GA 161/1915-01-30/p043"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":["Christ"],"bead_confidence":"high","bead_length_ratio":0.98,"likely_cause":"unresolved","note":"NAME MISMATCH between this English passage and its German counterpart.
