Even before these past three years there were numerous such associations in which people worked toward gradually transforming Europe into a social paradise!

Also es kann so sein, daß der Tote in der geistigen Welt zwischen dem Tod und einer neuen Geburt vielen Menschenseelen begegnet, durch die er durchgeht - denn dort herrscht Durchgänglichkeit, nicht Undurchdtinglichkeit -, an denen er sich vorbeibewegt, wenn ich den Ausdruck gebrauchen darf; sie sind für ihn nicht da. Da sind diejenigen, zu denen er irgendwelche karmische Verbindung hat. Daß wir immer mehr und mehr hineinwachsen in einen allgemeinen Weltenzusammenhang, auch nach dem Tode, das müssen wir uns erwerben durch das Leben hier auf der Erde. Und die Begründung von rein auf das Geistige gebauten Gesellschaften ist schon eine Aufgabe der Gegenwart und der Zukunft. Warum sucht man solche Gesellschaften, wie die anthroposophische ist, zu begründen? Warum sucht man Menschen gewissermaßen unter solchen Ideen zu vereinen? Weil dadurch ein karmisches Band geschaffen wird zwischen Menschen, die sich finden sollen in der geistigen Welt, die auch in der geistigen Welt zusammengehören sollen, was sie nicht könnten, wenn sie vereinsamt hier herumlaufen würden. Gerade durch die Möglichkeit, geistige Erkenntnisse und geistige Weistümer untereinander auszubreiten, schafft man ungeheuer viel für das Leben in der geistigen Welt, das aber zurückwirkt auf die physisch-sinnliche Welt, denn die steht fortwährend unter dem Einfluß der geistigen Welt. Hier geschehen ja überhaupt nur die Wirkungen; drüben in der geistigen Welt, auch indem wir hier auf dem physischen Plane leben, geschehen die Ursachen. Und wir können sagen, wenn wir uns rein befassen mit dem, was heute so vielfach propagandistisch betrieben wird: Vereinigungen werden ja für alles mögliche gestiftet, aber wenn sie auch aus noch so großem Enthusiasmus hervorgehen, geistigen Angelegenheiten sind sie oftmals wirklich sehr wenig gewidmet. Man denkt durch manche Vereinigungen die Erde allmählich in ein irdisches Paradies zu verwandeln, na, vor diesen drei Kriegsjahren waren auch schon zahlreiche solche Vereinigungen auf der Erde begründet, in denen die Menschen daran gearbeitet haben, Europa allmählich in ein soziales Paradies zu verwandeln! Das, was jetzt da ist, spricht nicht sonderlich dafür, daß die Dinge so gehen, wie man sie meint dirigieren zu können.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":357,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-16/p008"}],"english":["GA 178/1917-11-16/p010","GA 178/1917-11-16/p011","GA 178/1917-11-16/p012"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":357,"en_words":358,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"evidence":["length"]},"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.
