It is of importance that a certain number of people should realise how necessary it is to give the Mystery of Golgotha its cosmological significance. This significance must be recognised by a number of people, who must on their part, undertake a certain responsibility that the fact should not remain hidden from earthly humanity—the fact that humanity is connected with the non-earthly Spirit, who lived in Palestine in the Man Jesus, at the beginning of our era. It is necessary that the knowledge of the entrance of Christ from the non-earthly world into the Man Jesus of Nazareth, should not be withheld. To such penetration belongs the overcoming of that dishonesty which is so general today in questions of cosmic conceptions and of faith. For what is done today? We are told on the one hand that the Earth moves in an ellipse round the Sun and has evolved in the sense of the Kant-Laplace theory, and we subscribe to this; and on the other hand we are told that at the beginning of our era such and such events took place in Palestine. These two things are accepted, without being connected; people accept them and think it of no consequence. It is not without consequence however, for it is much less evil when a lie is consciously accepted, than when it takes shape unconsciously, and degrades Man and drags him down. For if we consider a lie as it appears in a man's consciousness, every time he falls asleep it leaves his physical and etheric bodies with his consciousness, and lives on in spaceless, timeless being, in the eternal being, while Man is in dreamless sleep. There is prepared all which can result from the lie in the future; that is, everything is made ready to correct it, if it is in the consciousness. But if it is in the unconscious, it remains with the physical and etheric bodies lying in bed. When Man is not occupying these bodies, it then belongs to the Cosmos, and not to the earthly Cosmos alone, but to the whole Cosmos; there it works for the destruction of the Cosmos; above all, for the destruction of the whole of humanity, for this destruction *begins* in humanity itself.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Thirteen","site_heading":"Humanity's Cosmic Organization and the Sun-Spirit Mystery","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.

Es handelt sich heute schon darum, meine lieben Freunde, daß eine Anzahl von Menschen erfahre, daß es nötig ist, dem Mysterium von Golgatha seine kosmologische Bedeutung zu geben. Diese kosmologische Bedeutung muß von einer Anzahl von Menschen eingesehen werden, die dann ihrerseits eine gewisse Verantwortung dafür übernehmen, daß der Menschheit der Erde nicht verborgen bleibt die Tatsache, daß sie zusammenhängt mit einem außerirdischen Geist, der in dem Menschen Jesus im Beginn unserer Zeitrechnung in Palästina gewandelt hat. Es ist notwendig, daß diese Erkenntnis von dem Hereindringen des Christus aus außerirdischen Welten in den Menschen Jesus von Nazareth von einer Anzahl von Menschen durchschaut werde. Es gehört heute zu einem solchen Durchschauen ja tatsächlich ein Überwinden jener Unehrlichkeit, die heute in Weltanschauungs- und Bekenntnisfragen eigentlich gang und gäbe ist. Denn was tut man heute? Man läßt sich auf der einen Seite erzählen, die Erde bewegt sich in einer Ellipse um die Sonne und hat sich entwickelt im Sinne der Kant-Laplaceschen Theorie, und unterschreibt dieses; und dann läßt man sich erzählen, im Beginne unserer Zeitrechnung habe in Palästina das und das stattgefunden. Man nimmt diese beiden Dinge, ohne sie miteinander in Beziehung zu bringen, man nimmt sie hin, und man denkt, das sei ohne Folge. Es ist nicht ohne Folge, denn wenn die Lüge bewußt aufgefaßt wird, dann ist es weniger schlimm, als wenn die Lüge unbewußt figuriert und den Menschen herunterbringt, ihn barbarisiert. Denn wenn Sie die Lüge betrachten, wie sie im Bewußtsein ist, so geht sie mit dem Bewußtsein jedesmal beim Einschlafen aus dem physischen und Ätherleib heraus, ist vorhanden im raumlosen, zeitlosen Sein, in dem ewigen Sein, wenn der Mensch im traumlosen Schlafe ist. Da wird vorbereitet alles dasjenige, was aus der Lüge werden kann in der Zukunft, das heißt, es wird vorbereitet alles dasjenige, was die Lüge wieder verbessern kann, wenn die Lüge im Bewußtsein sitzt. Wenn die Lüge aber im Unbewußten ist, dann bleibt sie im Bette liegen mit dem physischen und dem Ätherleib. Da gehört sie, während der Mensch nicht seinen physischen und seinen Ätherleib ausfüllt, dem Kosmos, nicht bloß dem irdischen Kosmos, sondern dem ganzen Kosmos an. Da arbeitet sie an der Zerstörung des Kosmos, vor allen Dingen an der Zerstörung der ganzen Menschheit, denn da beginnt die Zerstörung in der Menschheit selber.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":406,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-05-09/p012"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-05-09/p013"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":406,"en_words":402,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3560,"original_word_count":3870,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA201/English/RSP1972/19200509p01.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.
