This Building at Dornach ought to be regarded as being, without undue pretensions, the actual starting-point for a great world—movement, a world-movement which is altogether international, a world-movement which embraces every kind of branch of spiritual life. This Building at Dornach should be the starting-point from which to cast off all fondness for what is perishing and to receive the impulse of that force which is making for an actual renewal of man's consciousness. If we could establish something of this sort in the world, which should form a starting-point from whence to take up the spiritual essence out of the ruin of the physical earth,—if we could say: We put up the Building at Dornach to be the monument of this starting-point, to attract people's eyes to our purpose there,—if only *we* could create something of this kind, then we should be fulfilling what lies in the very impulse of the Spiritual Science of Anthroposophy. But we need to summon up our energies and create what shall speak to mankind in actual facts,—speak by facts in such a way as to make them see: “Look! We are aiming here at something that lies in the direction of actual progressive evolution in human consciousness, in science and art as well as in religion.” If we are in a position to speak from positive facts in this way, then we shall accomplish far more than by trying to throw ourselves into all sorts of things at which other people are aiming. We should realise that what we have to aim at is a *new* thing. If we are able to do this, then we shall be accomplishing a worthy task. But there we must commune with our souls, my dear friends, and try to set our hands in this way to the task of *Anthroposophy*.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Es müßte eigentlich dieser Dornacher Bau so angesehen werden, daß man ihn, ohne unbescheiden zu werden, wirklich als den Ausgangspunkt nimmt für eine große Weltbewegung, die völlig international ist, und die alle Gebiete des geistigen Lebens umfaßt. Es müßte dieser Dornacher Bau der Ausgangspunkt dafür sein, abzustreifen alle Vorliebe für das Untergehende und aufzunehmen den Impuls von etwas, das nach einer wirklichen Erneuerung des Menschheitsbewußtseins hinzielt. Könnten wir so etwas in die Welt setzen, was den Ausgangspunkt bilden würde für ein Auffangen des Geistigen aus dem Verfall der physischen Erde, und könnten wir sagen: Wir wollten das Monument für diesen Ausgangspunkt mit diesem Dornacher Bau hingestellt haben, wir wollten aufmerksam machen die Menschen, sie müssen sehen nach dem, was gewollt wird —, könnten wir so etwas schaffen, dann würden wir dasjenige erfüllen, was eigentlich in den Impulsen anthroposophisch orientierter Geisteswissenschaft liegt. Aber wir müssen uns aufraffen, etwas zu schaffen, was tatsächlich so zur Menschheit spricht, daß wir sie aufmerksam machen darauf: Seht, hier wird das gewollt, was im Sinne einer wirklichen Weiterentwickelung sowohl des wissenschaftlichen, wie des künstlerischen, wie des religiösen Bewußtseins liegt. Sind wir imstande, von diesem Positiven zu reden, werden wir viel mehr wirken, als wenn wir versuchen, uns in alles mögliche unterzuducken, was andere auch wollen. Wir sollten das Bewußtsein haben, daß etwas Neues zu wollen ist. Können wir das, dann werden wir eine würdige Aufgabe erfüllen. Aber wir sollten in dieser Beziehung einmal mit unseren Seelen sprechen, sollten versuchen, die Aufgabe der Anthroposophie in diesem Sinne gerade richtig in Angriff zu nehmen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":268,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/191/1919-10-12/p036"}],"english":["GA 191/1919-10-12/p039","GA 191/1919-10-12/p040"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":268,"en_words":324,"ratio":1.21,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.17,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7159,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LA1963","book_title":"Cosmogony, Freedom, Altruism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA191/English/LA1963/19191012p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
