It is a real struggle, not just something that I know of as abstract concepts or whatever but a real struggle. It is a real struggle that concerns itself with placing another being in place of the Christ being in the course of human evolution for the rest of the fifth post-Atlantean period and for the sixth and seventh. It will be the task of a healthy, honest spiritual development to eradicate such strivings, which are in the true sense of the word anti-Christian, to remove them, to annihilate them. This can be achieved, however, only through clear insight. This other being whom the brotherhood wishes to substitute as ruler they will call “Christ”; they will actually designate him as the “Christ.” What will be important will be to distinguish between the true Christ, Who, when He appears, will not be an individuality incarnated in the flesh, and the being that is distinguished from the true Christ by having never yet incarnated during earthly evolution. This other being is one who has only reached etheric embodiment, and he will be put by the brotherhoods in the place of Christ, Who is to pass by unobserved.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Das ist ein ganz realer Kampf und nicht irgend etwas, was etwa nur abstrakte Begriffe oder was weiß ich sein soll, sondern das ist ein ganz realer Kampf; ein Kampf, der sich eigentlich darauf bezieht, eine andere Wesenheit an die Stelle der Christus-Wesenheit im Verlaufe der Menschheitsentwickelung für den Rest der fünften nachatlantischen Zeit, für die sechste und für die siebente zu setzen. Es wird zu den Aufgaben einer gesunden, einer ehrlichen spirituellen Entwickelung gehören, solche Bestrebungen, die im eminentesten Sinne antichristlich sind, solche Bestrebungen zu vertilgen, wegzuschaffen. Aber nur klare Einsicht kann da etwas erreichen. Denn das andere Wesen, das diese Brüderschaften zum Herrscher machen wollen, dieses andere Wesen, das werden die ja als den «Christus» benennen, richtig als den «Christus» benennen! Und worauf es ankommen wird, das wird sein, daß man wirklich unterscheiden lernt zwischen dem wahren Christus, der ja auch jetzt, wie er erscheinen wird, nicht eine im Fleische verkörperte Individualität ist, und zwischen diesem Wesen, das sich von dem wahren Christus dadurch unterscheidet, daß es eben nie während der Erdenentwickelung verkörpert war, das ein Wesen ist, welches nur bis zu der ätherischen Verkörperung geht, und das von diesen Brüderschaften eingesetzt werden soll anstelle des Christus, der unvermerkt vorübergehen soll.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":250,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-18/p026"}],"english":["GA 178/1917-11-18/p026"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":250,"en_words":241,"ratio":0.96,"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/p026"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
