We must become as pious with regard to nature as the shepherds were in their hearts; we must in our inward vision become as wise as were the Magi in their observation of planets and stars in space. We must develop inwardly what the Magi developed outwardly. We must in our intercourse with the outer world develop what the simple shepherds of the field developed in their hearts; then we shall find the way, the right way, to a deepened experience of Christ, to a loving comprehension of Christ; and then we shall find the way to the Christmas Mystery. Then we shall be able with right thoughts and with right feelings to place the crib beside the original tree of paradise which does not only speak to us of how man enters the world through nature-forces but of how he can only become conscious of his full humanity by re-birth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Dann werden wir dürfen mit rechten Gedanken und rechten Gefühlen neben den Ursprungsbaum aus dem Paradiese hinstellen die Krippe, welche uns nicht nur spricht von dem, wie der Mensch durch Naturkräfte in die Welt hereingekommen ist, sondern wie er durch Wiedergeburt erst sich seines vollen Menschseins bewußt werden kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":165,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/202/1920-12-23/p028"}],"english":["GA 202/1920-12-23/p028"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":165,"en_words":161,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5418,"original_word_count":5132,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"MP1983","book_title":"The Search for the New Isis, Divine Sophia","publisher":"Mercury Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA202/English/MP1983/19201223p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
