It was precisely in Spain where the Mystery of the Grail could not be found outwardly anywhere among people. Only abstract intellectual wisdom prevailed. Among the Christians, there was only narration of bare, external facts; among the Arabs, the Moors, there existed a fantastic development of the intellect. Only in the heights, above this earth, hovered the Holy Grail. This spiritual temple, this Holy Grail, this temple that encompassed the mysteries of bread and wine, could be entered only by those who had been endowed by divine powers with the necessary faculties. It is not by chance that the temple of the Grail was supposed to be found in Spain, where one literally had to move miles away from what earthly actuality presented, where one had to break through brambles in order to penetrate to the spiritual temple that enshrined the Holy Grail.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"The Holy Grail Mystery and Europe's Materialistic Turn","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.

Die Menschen sind gewohnt, nicht hinzuschauen auf den Sinn der äußeren Tatsachen, sondern lediglich sich diese äußeren Tatsachen ihrer sinnenfälligen Wirklichkeit nach erzählen zu lassen. Durchdringen muß man zu demjenigen, was in dem Geheimnis des Brotes ist, das ja in derselben Schale gebrochen worden sein soll durch den Christus Jesus, in der dann das Blut durch Joseph von Arimathia aufgefangen worden ist, welche Schale dann entrückt worden ist nach Europa, aber, wie die Sage sagt, so von Engeln über der Erdoberfläche, hoch oben über der Erdoberfläche gehalten wurde, bis Titurel kam, der diesem Gral, dieser heiligen Schale, dieser das Mysterium des Brotes und Blutes umfassenden Schale den Tempel auf dem Montsalvatsch schuf. In heiliger spiritueller Tempelstätte wollten schauen diejenigen, die auf diese Weise europäische Mysterienweise geworden waren, durch die Nebel der Abstraktion hindurch und durch die Nebel der reinen Tatsachenerzählungen hindurch das Geheimnis vom Gral, das Geheimnis vom Kosmos, das verschwunden war mit der ätherischen Astronomie, das Geheimnis vom Blute, das verschwunden war mit der alten medizinischen Anschauung. Wie die alte medizinische Anschauung übergegangen ist in abstraktes Denken, so ist übergegangen die alte ätherische Astronomie in abstraktes Denken. Das hatte sich in der höchsten Blüte zu einer bestimmten Zeit gerade durch die Araber in Spanien abgelagert. In diesem Spanien war es, wo man äußerlich unter den Menschen nicht finden konnte das Geheimnis des Grales. Da war nur abstrakte Verstandesweisheit. Bei den Christen war nur äußere Tatsachenerzählung, bei den Arabern, bei den Mauren phantastische Verstandesentwickelung. Und in Höhen nur über dieser Erde schwebte der Heilige Gral, und nur von denjenigen, denen von göttlichen Mächten dazu die Fähigkeiten gegeben wurden, konnte betreten werden dieser spitituelle Tempel, dieser Heilige Gral, dieser die Geheimnisse des Brotes und Blutes umschließende Tempel. Es ist kein Zufall, daß er gefunden werden sollte in Spanien, wo wirklich meilenweit aus dem, was die irdische Tatsächlichkeit bot, herausgeschritten werden mußte, wo durchbrochen werden mußten dornige Hecken, um vorzudringen zu dem spirituellen Tempel, welcher den Heiligen Gral umschloß.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":345,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/204/1921-04-16/p014"}],"english":["GA 204/1921-04-16/p018","GA 204/1921-04-16/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":345,"en_words":379,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 204/1921-04-16/p014"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.11,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5250,"original_word_count":4746,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maria St. Goar","identified_edition":"AP1987","book_title":"Materialism and the Task of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA204/English/AP1987/19210416m01.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.
