It makes all the difference whether each sentence is the outcome of intense struggle on the part of the personal Ego or has been ‘inspired’ in some way either from below, or from above, or from one side or another. The power of suggestion is actually the greater in what has been inspired in this way, because in reading what has been the outcome of struggle, we ourselves have to wrestle with it. The time is approaching when the primary importance must no longer be attached to the purely literal content of what is before us, but above all to *who* is saying this or that—I do not mean only the actual physical personality, but the whole human-spiritual setting.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"How Do I Find the Christ?","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-10-16","location":null,"word_count":128,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/182/1918-10-16/p090","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"A.

Und in einem solchen Falle müssen Sie auch der Sprache gegenüber die Ohnmacht fühlen, in die der Leib Sie versetzt hat dadurch, daß er der Träger der Sprache wird; und nachher die Auferstehung des Geistes in dem Worte. Das ist es. Nicht nur: «Der Buchstabe tötet, der Geist macht lebendig», welcher Ausspruch ja auch vielfach mißverstanden wird, sondern schon der Laut tötet, und der Geist muß erst wieder lebendig machen, indem man konkret im einzelnen Erleben an den Christus und an das Mysterium von Golgatha anknüpft. In diesem ersten Schritte findet man den Christus: Suchen, nicht bloß, wenn da oder dort schöne Worte stehen, auf ihren Inhalt schauen - heute sind die Menschen das gewöhnt -, sondern suchen nach den menschlichen Zusammenhängen, suchen, wie die Worte hervorkommen aus dem Orte, von dem her sie gesprochen sind. Immer wichtiger und wichtiger wird das. Wenn gerade manche unter uns dies bedenken würden, würden wir nicht so oft es erleben, daß Leute kommen und sagen: Der hat ja ganz anthroposophisch oder theosophisch gesprochen; man lese das nur einmal nach! - Darauf kommt es nicht an, was da für Worte stehen, sondern, aus welchem Geiste heraus sie sind. Nicht Worte wollen wir mit der Anthroposophie verbreiten, sondern einen neuen Geist, den Geist allerdings, der der Geist des Christentums vom 20. Jahrhundert ab sein muß.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":270,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-10-16/p061"}],"english":["GA 182/1918-10-16/p090","GA 182/1918-10-16/p091"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":270,"en_words":273,"ratio":1.01,"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.
