Firstly, we must say to ourselves: ‘I will strive for *self-knowledge* as far as in me lies, as far as my whole human personality makes this possible.’ Now nobody who strives honestly for self-knowledge today can fail to come to the conclusion that he is incapable of laying hold of that for which he is striving; that his power of comprehension lags behind his striving. He feels the ineffectiveness of his efforts. This is a very real experience. A certain feeling of ineffectiveness is experienced by everyone who in the quest for self-knowledge takes honest counsel with himself. It is a wholesome feeling, for it is nothing else than awareness of the sickness in us, and when we have an illness without being aware of it, then we are all the more ill. In feeling at some point in our life the powerlessness to lift ourselves to the Divine, we become aware of that sickness of which I have spoken, the sickness that has been implanted into us.

It can be said alike of the God of the Hebrews, of the God of the Mohammedans, of all the other Gods.

Johannes Muller is an example of this. But none of these men have found Christ, for the Christ-experience does not consist of the unitary realisation of the Divine, but of the *twofold* experience of the death in the soul wrought by the body and the resurrection of the soul wrought by the spirit. A man who can say that he feels not only the Divine within him—as mystical theosophists eloquently assert—but can speak of the two experiences—of powerlessness and the resurrection from it—such a man is speaking of the true Christ-experience.

Man findet den Christus, wenn man folgende Erlebnisse hat. Erstens das Erlebnis, daß man sich sagt: Ich will so weit Selbsterkenntnis anstreben, als es mir möglich ist, nach meiner ganz individuellen menschlichen Persönlichkeit möglich ist. - Keiner, der ehrlich diese Selbsterkenntnis anstrebt, wird sich anderes heute als Mensch sagen können als: Ich kann das nicht fassen, was ich eigentlich anstrebe. Ich bleibe mit meiner Fassungskraft hinter dem, was ich anstrebe, zurück; ich empfinde meine Ohnmacht gegenüber meinem Streben. - Es ist dieses Erleben ein sehr wichtiges. Dieses Erleben müßte jeder haben, der ehrlich mit sich selbst, in Selbsterkenntnis zu Rate geht: ein gewisses Ohnmachtsgefühl. Dieses Ohnmachtsgefühl ist gesund, denn dieses Ohnmachtsgefühl ist nichts anderes, als das Empfinden der Krankheit, und man ist ja erst recht krank, wenn man eine Krankheit hat und sie nicht fühlt. Indem man die Ohnmacht empfindet, sich zum Göttlichen zu erheben in irgendeinem Zeitpunkte seines Lebens, fühlt man in sich jene Krankheit, von der ich gesprochen habe, die uns eingepflanzt ist. Und indem man diese Krankheit empfindet, empfindet man, daß die Seele durch unseren Leib eigentlich, so wie der Leib heute ist, verurteilt wäre mitzusterben. Dann, wenn man genügend kräftig diese Ohnmacht empfindet, dann kommt der Umschlag. Dann kommt das andere Erlebnis, das uns sagt: Aber wir können, wenn wir uns nicht an dasjenige hingeben, was zu erreichen wir durch unsere Leibeskräfte allein imstande sind, wir können, wenn wir uns hingeben an dasjenige, was uns der Geist gibt, überwinden diesen innerlichen Seelentod. Wir können die Möglichkeit haben, unsere Seele wiederzufinden und an den Geist anzuknüpfen. Wir können erleben die Nichtigkeit des Daseins auf der einen Seite und die Verherrlichung des Daseins aus uns selber, wenn wir hinüberkommen über das Spüren der Ohnmacht. Wir können die Krankheit spüren in unserer Ohnmacht, wir können [aber auch] den Heiland, die heilende Kraft spüren, wenn wir die Ohnmacht [erlebt haben], dem Tode verwandt geworden sind in unserer Seele. Indem wir den Heiland spüren, fühlen wir, daß wir etwas in unserer Seele tragen, das aus dem Tode jederzeit auferstehen kann im eigenen inneren Erleben. - Wenn wir diese zwei Erlebnisse suchen, finden wir in unserer eigenen Seele den Christus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":363,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-10-16/p047"},{"locus":"GA 182/1918-10-16/p048","passage_number":48,"text":"Das ist ein Erlebnis, dem die Menschheit entgegengeht.

Das ist ein Ereignis, dem gegenüber man sich nicht ausreden kann dadurch, daß man sagt, man habe keine übersinnlich entwickelten Fähigkeiten. Die braucht man dazu nicht. Man braucht nur wirklich Selbstbesinnung zu üben und den Willen zu dieser Selbstbesinnung, den Willen auch zur Bekämpfung jenes Hochmuts, der heute so gang und gäbe ist, welcher den Menschen nicht bemerken läßt, daß, wenn er sich auf seine eigenen Kräfte verläßt, er hochmütig wird gegenüber seinen eigenen Kräften.

So müssen wir es in seinem Spiegelbild hier in der Seele auf dem physischen Plane suchen. Suchen Sie in sich, und Sie werden finden die Ohnmacht.

Wenn Harnack zum Beispiel vom Christus spricht, so ist das nicht wahr, was er sagt, aus dem einfachen Grunde, weil dasjenige, was er vom Christus sagt - lesen Sie es durch -, man von dem Gott überhaupt sagen kann. Das kann man ebensogut vom Judengott sagen, das kann man ebensogut vom Gott der Mohammedaner sagen, von allen. Und viele, die heute sogenannte «Erweckte» sein wollen, die sagen: Ich erlebe den Gott in mir -, aber sie erleben eben nur den Vatergott, und den auch nur in einer abgeschwächten Gestalt, weil sie eigentlich nicht bemerken, daß sie krank sind und nur traditionell nachreden. So etwas macht zum Beispiel Johannes Müller. Aber alle diese haben keinen Christus, denn das Christus-Erlebnis besteht nicht aus einem Erleben des Gottes in der Menschenseele, sondern aus den zweien: aus dem Erleben des Todes in der Seele durch den Leib, und der Wiederauferstehung der Seele durch den Geist. Und derjenige, der der Menschheit sagt, daß er nicht bloß den Gott in sich fühlt - wie es auch die bloß rhetorischen Theosophen behaupten -, sondern der reden kann von den zwei Ereignissen, von der Ohnmacht und von der Auferstehung aus der Ohnmacht, der redet von dem wirklichen Christus-Erlebnis. Der aber findet sich auf einem übersinnlichen Wege hin zu dem Mysterium von Golgatha; er findet selbst die Kräfte, die gewisse übersinnliche Kräfte anregen und die ihn hinführen zu dem Mysterium von Golgatha.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":257,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-10-16/p053"},{"locus":"GA 182/1918-10-16/p054","passage_number":54,"text":"Man braucht heute wahrhaftig nicht zu verzweifeln daran, in unmittelbarem eigenem Erleben den Christus zu finden, denn man hat ihn gefunden, wenn man sich wiedergefunden hat, aber aus der Ohnmacht heraus.
