Here they are not said from such a source. Here they are derived from the knowledge of the nature of human nature. And here it can be shown that the spiritual life of human beings, of which memory, intelligence and sensory activity are the bearers, cannot continue to exist without being fertilized from the spiritual world. This is not admitted today. But why is it not admitted? It is not admitted for a historical reason. Since the middle of the 15th century, more and more of those entities have emerged that are today perceived as the actual bearers of civilization, the modern states. But these modern states can only be in the future that which - I have explained this in another context here - relates to the life of the human being between birth and death. They must not interfere in anything that relates to the spiritual world between people. In the future, people must be able to let the spiritual world into their memory, their intelligence and their sensory activity as individuals. They can only do this as individuals, only as individuals. In the future, individuals must become mediators between heaven and earth, between the spiritual and physical worlds. And people today rightly feel this, although they have almost the wrong feelings in the way they feel it, but they still feel it as something improper when currents that should only flow into individual human beings flow into so-called public state affairs. When the Russian Czar and the Russian Czarina availed themselves of the inner experiences of a Rasputin for their governmental acts, people were right to fear it, because revelations from the spiritual world may only play into the spiritual life, they may not play into the life of the state. Only that which has become our healthy reason through spiritual revelations may play a part in it. Now, Rasputin did not go as far as healthy reason, even if he did go as far as revelation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourteenth Lecture","site_heading":"The Soul's Six Faculties and Future Evolution","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.

Hier werden sie nicht aus einer solchen Quelle heraus gesagt. Hier werden sie aus der Erkenntnis des Wesens der Menschennatur abgeleitet. Und hier kann gezeigt werden, daß das geistige Leben der Menschen, dessen Träger Gedächtnis, Intelligenz und Sinnestätigkeit sind, fernerhin nicht bestehen kann, ohne daß es befruchtet wird von der geistigen Welt aus. Das gibt man heute nicht zu. Aber warum gibt man es nicht zu? Man gibt es nicht zu aus einem historischen Grund heraus. Seit der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts sind immer mehr und mehr herausgebildet worden diejenigen Gebilde, die man heute als die eigentlichen Träger der Zivilisation empfindet, die modernen Staaten. Diese modernen Staaten, sie können aber in der Zukunft nur dasjenige sein, was sich - ich habe das in anderem Zusammenhange hier ausgeführt — bezieht auf das Leben des Menschen zwischen der Geburt und dem Tode. Sie dürfen sich in nichts hineinmischen, was Beziehung gibt zwischen dem Menschen und den geistigen Welten. Der Mensch muß in der Zukunft fähig werden, als individueller Mensch in sein Gedächtnis, in seine Intelligenz, in seine Sinnestätigkeit die geistige Welt hereinzubekommen. Das kann er nur als individueller Mensch, das kann nur der einzelne. Der einzelne muß in der Zukunft der Vermittler werden zwischen dem Himmel und der Erde, zwischen der geistigen Welt und der physischen Welt. Und mit Recht empfinden es die Menschen heute, obwohl sie geradezu verkehrte Empfindungen haben in der Art, wie sie es empfinden, aber sie empfinden es doch als etwas Ungehöriges, wenn in sogenannte öffentliche Staatsangelegenbeiten hereinspielen diejenigen Strömungen, die nur in den individuellen Menschen hineinspielen sollen. Wenn sich der russische Zar und die russische Zarin zu ihren Regierungshandlungen der inneren Erlebnisse eines Rasputin bedient haben, so fürchteten sich davor die Menschen mit Recht, denn Offenbarungen aus der geistigen Welt dürfen nur in das geistige Leben hineinspielen, dürfen nicht in das Staatsleben hineinspielen. Da darf nur dasjenige hineinspielen, was unsere gesunde Vernunft geworden ist durch die geistigen Offenbarungen. Nun, bis zur gesunden Vernunft hat es Rasputin nicht gebracht, wenn auch bis zur Offenbarung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":352,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/196/1920-02-14/p023"}],"english":["GA 196/1920-02-14/p023"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":352,"en_words":347,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5464,"original_word_count":5254,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Spiritual and Social Changes in the Development of Humanity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA196/English/SOL2024/19200214p01.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.
