For obviously occult principles, occult means and occult impulses are not permissible as promoters, as driving forces, especially in the fifth post-Atlantean period, which ought to be a purely materialistic civilization. The moment occult impulses work behind the spread of this purely materialistic culture, things become questionable. Yet, as I have shown you, this is what is happening. There are those who want to foster world dominance not only with the forces available on the physical plane, but also with the impulses of occultism, the impulses which lie in the world of the invisible. But these occult means are not used to work for the good of mankind in general but only for the good of a group. If you see the connection between such encompassing viewpoints, given to you from deeper knowledge, and everyday events, you will thoroughly understand a great deal.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XX","site_heading":"Central Europe's Spiritual Opposition to Western Materialism","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.

Sie leben sich mit aller Sicherheit aus. Glauben Sie nicht, daß man darüber irgendwie moralisieren oder theoretisieren kann; sie leben sich aus, sie werden real. Daher glaube niemand, daß nicht aus notwendigen inneren Gründen heraus die Mission des britischen Volkes real:werde, die darin besteht, eine kommerziell-industriell-universale Monarchie über die Erde hin zu begründen. Die Prätentionen nämlich kommen als Realität heraus. Diese Dinge muß man einfach als im Weltenkarma liegend erkennen. Und was die Menschen aussprechen, was die Menschen denken, das ist nur eine Offenbarung der geistig dahinterstehenden Kräfte. Daher soll niemand glauben, daß sich die britische Politik jemals moralisch bekehren wird und aus besonderen Rücksichten für die Welt Abstand nehmen wird von ihrer Prätention, die Welt industriell-kommerziell ganz in ihre Hand zu bekommen. Daher brauchen wir uns auch nicht zu verwundern, daß diejenigen, die diese Dinge durchschauen, Gemeinschaften begründet haben, welche darauf ausgehen, einzig und allein so etwas zu verwirklichen, und es zu verwirklichen mit den Mitteln, die zu gleicher Zeit geistige Mittel sind. Und da haben wir nun den Beginn eines unerlaubten Zusammenspielens. Denn selbstverständlich dürfen nicht okkulte Grundsätze, okkulte Mittel, okkulte Impulse als Förderer, als Motoren verwendet werden gerade für die fünfte nachatlantische Kultur, die eine rein materielle Kultur sein muß. In dem Augenblicke beginnt das Anfechtbare, wo hinter der Ausbreitung dieser rein materiellen Kultur okkulte Impulse stehen. Das aber - ich habe es Ihnen ja ausgeführt - ist der Fall. Man will gewissermaßen nicht bloß mit dem, was sich auf dem physischen Plane als Kräfte darbietet, die Weltherrschaft begründen, sondern man will mit den Impulsen des Okkultismus, den Impulsen, die in der Welt des Unoffenbaren liegen, diese Kultur fördern. Da wird also mit okkulten Mitteln nicht mehr für das Heil der allgemeinen Menschheit gearbeitet, sondern nur für das Heil einer Gruppe. Verbinden Sie solche überschauende Gesichtspunkte, die sich Ihnen aus der tieferen Erkenntnis ergeben, mit den Ereignissen des Alltags, so werden Sie manches gründlich verstehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":331,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/173c/1917-01-15/p021"}],"english":["GA 173c/1917-01-15/p028","GA 173c/1917-01-15/p029"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":331,"en_words":323,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":12855,"original_word_count":12089,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSP1988","book_title":"The Karma of Untruthfulness II","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA173c/English/RSP1988/19170115p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
