Thus in cultural history we see numerous endeavours to retain the unconscious realisation of the Event of Golgotha, while applying to it as little as possible the development of consciousness that mankind is going through. Quite recently, in the sphere of a religious community, we have witnessed a struggle between the endeavour to maintain as far as possible only the traditional and unconscious relation to the Mystery of Golgotha, while Roman Catholic modernism has tried—though certainly with inadequate means—to claim equal validity for its endeavour to press on to a more conscious understanding of the Mystery of Golgotha. Opposition to the spiritual-scientific approach to the Mystery of Golgotha represents simply the striving of those who wish to keep the Mystery of Golgotha as much as possible in the unconscious regions of man's soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Four","site_heading":"Christ's Intervention: Preventing Ahrimanic Knowledge Premature Flooding","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wir wissen ja, daß unter den vielen, mehr oder weniger wichtigen Dingen, die von dem eben Angeführten betroffen werden, auch das wichtigste Ereignis, welches im Erdenleben sich abgespielt hat, mit betroffen wird: das Ereignis von Golgatha. Denn wir haben es öfter betont: das Ereignis von Golgatha ist so in die Menschheitsentwickelung eingetreten, daß es zunächst nicht vollbewußt von den Menschenseelen in seiner Bedeutung erfaßt werden konnte, sondern daß dieses vollbewußte Erfassen nach und nach nur eintreten kann. Und wir haben ja auch öfter betont, daß immer durch die uns bekannten Kräfte die Neigung der Menschheit entsteht, auf der einen Seite in ihrer Entwickelung zurückzubleiben, auf der andern Seite über das Ziel hinauszuschießen. So finden wir in der menschlichen Geisteskultur zahlreiche Bestrebungen, die unbewußte Art des Erfassens des Ereignisses von Golgatha beizubehalten und möglichst wenig die bewußte Entwickelung, welche die Menschheit durchmacht, anzuwenden auf dieses Ereignis von Golgatha. Wir haben ja in jüngster Zeit erst sich abspielen sehen auf dem Gebiete einer religiösen Gemeinschaft den Kampf zwischen der Bestrebung, möglichst nur das Althergebrachte, Unbewußte über das Mysterium von Golgatha gelten zu lassen, während sich mit allerdings unzulänglichen Mitteln, aber immerhin doch eben geltend gemacht hat in dem, was man modernistische katholische Bestrebungen nannte, das Streben, bewußter, als es bisher geschehen ist, zu einem Begreifen auch des Mysteriums von Golgatha vorzudringen. Das Sträuben gegen das geisteswissenschaftliche Vordringen zum Mysterium von Golgatha ist ja kein anderes als das Streben derjenigen, die dieses Mysterium von Golgatha möglichst in der unbewußten Sphäre in bezug auf die Menschenseelen erhalten wollen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":288,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/184/1918-10-11/p004"}],"english":["GA 184/1918-10-11/p004","GA 184/1918-10-11/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":288,"en_words":276,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6209,"original_word_count":6364,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Charles Davy","identified_edition":"RSP1985","book_title":"Three Streams in Human Evolution","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA184/English/RSP1985/19181011p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
