Now men are moving towards the conscious experience of such things, as that these experiences can be undergone consciously when they meet the Guardian of the Threshold; and more or less instinctively they must be undergone by human beings in the course of time, during the Age of the Spiritual Soul. Men are being pressed and driven to this experience when they face the Guardian of the Threshold. It is this which works in a special, albeit external form, like an impulse, like an instinctive urge, in the men of modern time. And it is this from which they flee. They are afraid to come whither they really ought to come.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Das liegt zugrunde, daß wir eben in das Zeitalter der Bewußtseinsseele eingetreten sind, daß wir seit dem fünfzehnten Jahrhundert darinnen sind, und daß diese Entwickelung innerhalb des Zeitalters der Bewußtseinsseele, dieses Hindrängen des Menschen nach der Erweckung der Bewußtseinsseele notwendig macht, daß sich der Mensch immer mehr und mehr einem Punkt seiner Entwickelung nähert, wo er eigentlich — aus «Kontra-Instinkten » heraus - fliehen will. Ein Wesentliches wird darinnen bestehen, daß der moderne Mensch diesen Fluchtinstinkt überwindet; er will fliehen vor etwas, in das er doch hinein muß. Ich habe Ihnen neulich, als ich das letztemal hier gesprochen habe, gesagt: Über die verschiedenen nationalen Gebiete hin, den Westen, die mittleren Länder, den Osten, ist differenziert auch die Art, wie der Mensch an den Hüter der Schwelle herankommt, wenn er die geistige Welt betritt. Ein Sich-Hinbewegen zum Erleben solcher Erlebnisse, wie sie bewußt beim Hüter der Schwelle gemacht werden können, wie sie aber instinktiv mehr oder weniger von den Menschen nach und nach im Zeitalter der Bewußtseinsseele gemacht werden müssen - ein Hingedrängtwerden zu den Erfahrungen beim Hüter der Schwelle in einer bestimmten, wenn auch äußerlichen Form, das ist es, was wie ein Impuls, wie ein Instinkt, wie ein Trieb in den modernen Menschen wirkt, und was sie fliehen. Sie fürchten sich, dahin zu kommen, wohin sie eigentlich kommen sollten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":223,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/186/1918-12-13/p029"}],"english":["GA 186/1918-12-13/p035","GA 186/1918-12-13/p036"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":223,"en_words":265,"ratio":1.19,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.1,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8687,"original_word_count":7876,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"C52","book_title":"The Fundamental Social Demand of Our Times","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA186/English/C52/19181213p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
