But it must happen, a new content must [be]come content which can give us entirely new feelings that stir us powerfully, just as those people were stirred who were true Christians in the first Christian centuries, and who felt the Mystery of Golgotha and the appearance of Christ as the highest which humankind could experience upon the earth. Our souls must again acquire something of this spirit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Search for the New Isis, the Divine Sophia: The Quest for the Isis-Sophia","site_heading":null,"date":"1920-12-24","location":null,"word_count":150,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/202/1920-12-24/p025","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Search for the New Isis, Divine Sophia","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA202/English/Singles/19201224p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
