They maintained that the human being was not yet mature enough to receive such truths, such mysteries (we will not look at the justification for this view today), and that becoming acquainted with them would result in great confusion. We will not say much today about the justification for keeping back from human beings these deeply incisive truths that are so significant for life, instead nurturing them only in the narrower circles of occult schools. It must be said, however, that the time has approached in which wider circles of humanity cannot and should not be without the communications of certain mysteries concerning the super-sensible world, of the kind that were mentioned yesterday. Indeed, more and more must be accomplished in communicating such matters to the public.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Mystery of the Double: Geographic Medicine","site_heading":"Geographic Medicine and the Ahrimanic Double in Human Nature","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.

Ich habe angedeutet, wie diejenigen Menschen, welche in der Gegenwart hier auf dem physischen Plane vorzugsweise nur aufnehmen Vorstellungen, die aus der Sinneswelt kommen, oder gewonnen sind mit dem Verstande, der sich an die Sinneswelt bindet, der von etwas anderem nichts wissen will als von der Sinnenwelt, wie solche Menschen nach ihrem Tode gewissermaßen gebunden sind an eine Umgebung, welche noch stark hereinfällt in die irdische, in die physische Region, in welcher der Mensch in der Zeit zwischen der Geburt und dem Tode ist. So daß durch solche Menschen, die also durch ihr Leben innerhalb des physischen Leibes sich nach dem Tode noch lange Zeit hereinbannen in die irdisch-physische Welt, zerstörende Kräfte innerhalb dieser physischen Welt geschaffen werden. Mit einer solchen Sache berührt man tiefe, bedeutungsvolle Geheimnisse des menschlichen Lebens, solche Geheimnisse, welche durch Jahrhunderte, Jahrtausende kann man sagen, gewisse okkulte Gesellschaften sorgfältig behütet haben, weil sie - wir wollen heute nicht untersuchen, mit welchem Rechte — behauptet haben, daß die Menschen nicht reif seien zum Empfange solcher Wahrheiten, solcher Geheimnisse, und daß durch das Bekanntwerden große Verwirrung gestiftet würde. Über das Recht, solche tief einschneidenden, für das Leben so bedeutungsvollen Wahrheiten zurückzuhalten vor den Menschen und sie nur im engeren Kreise von okkulten Schulen zu pflegen, über dieses Recht wollen wir uns heute weniger aussprechen. Aber gesagt werden muß, daß die Zeit herangerückt ist, in welcher die Menschheit im weiteren Kreise nicht sein kann und nicht sein darf ohne die Mitteilungen gewisser Geheimnisse über die übersinnliche Welt von der Art, wie das gestern erwähnt wurde. Ja, es wird immer weiter und weiter gegangen werden müssen in der öffentlichen Mitteilung solcher Dinge.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":297,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-16/p003"}],"english":["GA 178/1917-11-16/p003","GA 178/1917-11-16/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":297,"en_words":294,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10164,"original_word_count":10093,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Alice Wulsin","identified_edition":"MP1986","book_title":"Geographic Medicine","publisher":"Mercury Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA178/English/MP1986/19171116p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
