The epoch which came to an end in 1413, began in 747 B.C., in the eighth century B.C. This was the Graeco-Latin culture-epoch. As we know, it was approximately at the end of the first third of this epoch that the Mystery of Golgotha took place.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"How Do I Find the Christ?","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-10-16","location":null,"word_count":111,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/182/1918-10-16/p024","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"A.

Das Mysterium von Golgatha soll sich, ich möchte sagen, nach den Ratschlüssen der göttlichen Weisheit, nicht äußerlich-materialistisch beweisen lassen, aus dem einfachen Grunde, weil das Mysterium von Golgatha als die wichtigste Tatsache, die im Erdengeschehen sich ereignet hat, nur auf eine übersinnliche Weise erschaubar sein soll. Derjenige, der da will einen äußerlich-materialistischen Beweis finden, der findet ihn eben nicht, sondern er findet zuletzt durch seine Kritik heraus, daß es keinen solchen gibt. Es soll die Menschheit vor die Entscheidung gestellt werden, gerade dem Mysterium von Golgatha gegenüber sich zu gestehen: Ich muß zum Übersinnlichen meine Zuflucht nehmen, oder ich kann so etwas wie das Mysterium von Golgatha überhaupt nicht finden. - Das Mysterium von Golgatha soll gewissermaßen die Menschenseele zwingen, aus allen sinnlichen Beweisen heraus den Weg ins Übersinnliche zu finden. Es hat also seinen guten Grund, daß das Mysterium von Golgatha weder naturwissenschaftlich noch irgendwie sonst historisch zu beweisen ist. Das wird gerade das Bedeutungsvolle sein der neueren Geisteswissenschaft, daß, wenn alle äußere Wissenschaft, alle bloß auf das Sinnenfällige gestützte Wissenschaft sich wird gestehen müssen, daß sie zum Mysterium von Golgatha keinen Zugang mehr hat, wenn selbst die Theologie, insoferne sie kritisch ist, unchristlich sich gebärden wird, die Geisteswissenschaft es sein wird, welche die Menschen zum Mysterium von Golgatha hinzuführen hat, aber auf einem übersinnlichen Wege, den wir ja öfter beschrieben haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":230,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-10-16/p010"}],"english":["GA 182/1918-10-16/p024","GA 182/1918-10-16/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":230,"en_words":247,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.13,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10541,"original_word_count":9326,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"A.
