It is developing in humanity. There really are people who experience what lives and works in the streams which are carrying mankind along. Thanks to what could be called their natural gifts they feel it surge up during especially privileged moments. This is manifested in the most various ways. There are men who feel the depths of humanity in a higher sense than is often the case with external, philistine notions of religion. People often speak of guilt, and there are some pastors who try to deepen their flock's sense of things by leading them to experience guilt. But that is a superficial way of looking at things. This superficiality also has its justification, but one can go deeper. And those who have a deeper experience feel how morality connects with that glowing, resounding force that is streaming up from the powers that rule in the human depths. Self-knowledge would be much more common if people were not so timid and so afraid of getting to know themselves. But the awareness of what rules in the depths is already suppressed in the unconscious levels of the soul because people have such unconscious fear and inhibition and anxiety about confronting themselves in all their manifoldness and complexity. And when it does surge up, what comes glowing and gleaming from out of the depths really does make a sphinx-like impression. The experiences of others who have really felt such things in their own soul can be deeply moving.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Moral, Aesthetic, and Wisdom Streams in Human Evolution","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.

Es gibt ja doch wirklich Menschen, die, man möchte sagen, durch eine natürliche Begabung zuweilen heraufstrahlen fühlen in besonders begnadeten Momenten, was da unten wirkt und lebt in den Strömungen, in die der Mensch hineinversetzt ist. In der mannigfaltigsten Weise kommt das zum Vorschein. Einzelne Menschen gibt es, welche in einem höheren Sinne, als das bei der äußeren philiströsen Religionsauffassung oftmals der Fall ist, dieses Tiefere im Menschen erfühlen. Man redet oftmals von Schuld, und gewisse Pastoren suchen gerade den Menschen dadurch zu vertiefen, daß sie ihm so recht ein Schuldbewußtsein beibringen. Aber das ist nur ein oberflächliches Erfassen. Es ist ja das Oberflächliche auch berechtigt, aber man kann tiefer gehen. Und tiefere Menschen fühlen auch mit dem, was sonst bloß das Schuldbewußtsein ist, verknüpft dieses Herauftönen und Heraufleuchten eines Waltens aus den Untergründen des menschlichen Seins. Hätten die Menschen nicht solche Scheu und solche Furcht, sich selbst kennenzulernen, so würden sie viel häufiger sich selber kennenlernen. Aber schon die unterbewußte Seele drängt zurück, was da in den Untergründen waltet, weil der Mensch unbewußt Furcht und Scheu und Angst vor sich selbst, vor seinen Weiten und vor seinen Tiefen hat. Wenn es aber einmal heraufleuchtet und heraufstrahlt, dann ist es wirklich so, als ob alles sphinzartig wäre an dem, was da heraufleuchtet und heraufstrahlt. Und man empfindet tief mit Menschen, welche aus wirklicher innerer Seelenerfahrung solches haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":246,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/170/1916-08-06/p081"}],"english":["GA 170/1916-08-06/p038"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":246,"en_words":258,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5114,"original_word_count":4774,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"John F.
