This is really written in the Gospel of John. In contrast to this, that which is symbolized by the poodle rears up in Faust and does not want to let him come to the deeper meaning of the Gospel of John. Why did the writer of the Gospel of John choose the word, the Logos? Because the writer of the Gospel of John wants to emphasize that what is most important in human development on earth, what really makes man outwardly human in his development on earth, did not develop gradually, but was there in the very beginning. What distinguishes man from all other beings? Because he can speak, all other creatures, animals, plants, minerals cannot. The materialist believes that man has only come to the word, that is, to language, to the Logos, which is permeated by thinking, after he has gone through the animal development. The Gospel of John takes the matter deeper and says: No, in the beginning was the word. That means: Man's evolution is originally predisposed; man is not merely the highest peak of the animal world in the materialistic-Darwinian sense, but in the very first intentions of the earth's evolution, in the very beginning, in the beginning was the word. And only through this can man develop an ego on earth, which animals do not achieve, that the word is interwoven with human evolution. The word stands for the human ego. But the spirit that is given to Faust, the spirit of untruth, rebels against this truth, and it must go deeper down; it cannot yet understand the profound wisdom that lies in the words of John.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":281,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/171/1916-09-30/p044","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1916-09-30","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 171/1916-09-30/p043","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/171/1916-09-30/p043"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":260,"en_words":281,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Das steht wirklich im Johannes-Evangelium. Dagegen bäumt sich dasjenige, was durch den Pudel symbolisiert wird, in Faust auf, will ihn nicht zu dem tieferen Sinn des Johannes-Evangeliums kommen lassen. Warum ist gerade das Wort, der Logos gewählt von dem Schreiber des Johannes-Evangeliums? Weil der Schreiber des Johannes-Evangeliums kennzeichnen will, daß dasjenige, was das Wichtigste ist in der menschlichen Erdenentwickelung, was den Menschen in der Erdenentwickelung äußerlich wirklich zum Menschen macht, nicht sich nach und nach entwickelt hat, sondern in den Urbeginnen da war. Wodurch unterscheidet sich der Mensch von allen übrigen Wesen? Dadurch, daß er sprechen kann, alle übrigen Wesen, Tiere, Pflanzen, Mineralien nicht. Der Materialist glaubt, daß der Mensch zum Wort, das heißt zur Sprache, zum Logos, der vom Denken durchzittert ist, erst gekommen sei, nachdem er die tierische Entwickelung durchgemacht hat. Das Johannes-Evangelium nimmt die Sache tiefer und sagt: Nein, im Urbeginne war das Wort. Das heißt: Des Menschen Entwickelung ist ursprünglich veranlagt; der Mensch ist nicht bloß im materialistisch-darwinistischen Sinne höchste Spitze der Tierwelt, sondern in den allerersten Absichten der Erdenentwickelung, in den Urbeginnen, im Anfange war das Wort. Und nur dadurch kann der Mensch auf Erden ein Ich entwickeln, wozu die Tiere nicht kommen, daß einverwoben ist das Wort der menschlichen Entwickelung. Das Wort steht geradezu für das Ich des Menschen. Aber gegen diese Wahrheit bäumt sich der Geist, der dem Faust beigegeben ist, der Geist der Unwahrheit, auf, und er muß tiefer herunter; er kann sie noch nicht verstehen, die ganze tiefe Weisheit, die in dem Johannes-Worte liegt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":260,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/171/1916-09-30/p043"}],"beads":[{"from":[43],"to":[42],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[44],"to":[43],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
