It will have to happen that outer events follow not on the external contents of spiritual science as it is presented, but out of inner impulses. Fighters like the Jesuits know very well what many followers of anthroposophy still fail to realize: that spiritual science working towards anthroposophy is a reality. Since they have come to realize this—they have done so for some time now, from about 1906 or 1907—since they have come to realize it they are opposing this spiritual science with increasing vigour. Many anthroposophists have no idea of the methods that are used, the sheer ingenuity, because there is a refusal to be really sure in one's mind of the seriousness of the situation. Words will only evoke a little bit of the things one really wishes people to take to heart; I have tried, however, to present just a little of it to you on these two occasions. If we reflect on what has been said, if we progress from reflection to feeling, to letting it become part of the whole of our being, there will be an end to abstract mysticism and to modern science. It will become the essential inner nature of the human being, it will be the power that releases spirit and soul again from physical matter, it will overcome a materialism that unfortunately is not wrong but is indeed true.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Spirit and Matter: Reversing Materialist Consciousness","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.

Und es wird schon dahin kommen müssen, daß die äußeren Geschehnisse dem nachfolgen, was in der verkündeten Geisteswissenschaft jetzt nicht an äußerem Inhalte liegt, sondern an inneren Impulsen. Diejenigen, die so kämpfen wie zum Beispiel die Jesuiten, die wissen eben sehr gut, was viele Anhänger der Anthroposophie noch nicht wissen: daß in der anthroposophisch orientierten Geisteswissenschaft eine Realität vorliegt, und erst seit sie das merkten - es ist allerdings schon lange her, ungefähr seit 1906, 1907 —, seit sie das wissen, bekämpfen sie immer stärker und stärker diese Geisteswissenschaft. Und die Art, wie sie sie bekämpfen, ihre besondere Raffiniertheit, ahnt eine große Anzahl von unseren Anthroposophen noch gar nicht, weil man sich nicht will des Ernstes der Lage wirklich innerlich versichern. Man kann ja immer nur mit Worten ein klein wenig von dem hervorrufen, was man eigentlich an die Herzen der Menschen heranbringen möchte; aber ein klein wenig von dem wollte ich auch in diesen zwei Betrachtungen an Sie heranbringen. Überlegen wir uns das, was gesagt worden ist, bringen wir es aus der Überlegung zum Fühlen, zur Durchdringung unseres ganzen Menschenwesens, dann wird es nicht abstrakte Mystik und Naturwissenschaft, dann wird es innerliches Wesen des Menschen, dann wird es die Kraft, welche das Geistig-Seelische wiederum loslöst von dem Materiellen, dann wird es zum Überwinder nicht des falschen, sondern des leider richtigen Materialismus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":236,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/197/1920-07-30/p023"}],"english":["GA 197/1920-07-30/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":236,"en_words":243,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6265,"original_word_count":6008,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSP1987","book_title":"Polarities in the Evolution of Mankind","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA197/English/RSP1987/19200730p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
