Diese werden eine spirituelle Klientel für diese Loge (siehe Zeichnung, orange); das heißt, man hat sich dadurch Tote geschaffen, die nicht aus der Erdensphäre hinausgehen, sondern bei der Erde bleiben.

Jahrhunderts war, von denen ich öfter gesprochen habe. Dann kann es vorkommen - ich bitte Sie, das zu berücksichtigen -, daß dasjenige, was hier in diesen Sitzungen geschieht, dirigiert wird von der Loge aus mit Hilfe der Toten. Aber nach den eigentlichen Intentionen der Meister, die in jenen Logen sind, sollen die Menschen nicht wissen, daß sie es mit Toten zu tun haben, sondern glauben, daß sie es einfach mit höheren Naturkräften zu tun haben. Man will den Leuten beibringen, das seien höhere Naturkräfte: Psychismus und dergleichen, bloß höhere Naturkräfte. Man will ihnen den eigentlichen Seelenbegriff nehmen und sagen: Wie es Elektrizität, wie es Magnetismus gibt, so gibt es auch solche höhere Kräfte. Daß das von Seelen kommt, das kaschieren gerade diejenigen, die in der Loge führend sind. Dadurch aber werden die andern, die harmlosen Seelen, ganz abhängig nach und nach, seelisch abhängig von der Loge, ohne daß sie wissen, wovon sie abhängig sind, woher sie eigentlich dirigiert werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":190,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-18/p020"}],"english":["GA 178/1917-11-18/p018","GA 178/1917-11-18/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":304,"en_words":251,"ratio":0.83,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7784,"original_word_count":7738,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Gilbert Church and Alice Wulsin","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/ReapChrist/19171118p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 178/1917-11-18/p019","GA 178/1917-11-18/p020"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
