Those who raised this call for the Holy Grail meant to let it resound in the spirit of freedom dawning in the dull souls. They did not wish to deprive the human being of his freedom; they did not mean to push anything on him; he was to be the questioning one. Out of the depths of his own soul he was to ask about the miracles of the 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.

Jahrhundert herein, weil von den zahlreichen, ich möchte sagen, mit heiliger Süße und Überreifheit durch die europäische Zivilisation, die im übrigen barbarisch war, hindurchklingenden Stimmen nur die etwas ungelenke eines Menschen zurückgeblieben ist, der nicht schreiben konnte, die des Wolfram von Eschenbach. Ex ist noch groß genug; ihn hat dasjenige übriggelassen, was als Dogmatik sich in Europa festgesetzt hat und was im Grunde genommen dasjenige ausgerottet hat, was an mächtigen Stimmen, aber eben unter Kampf und Bitterkeit den Ruf nach dem Heiligen Gral ertönen ließ. Und diejenigen, die ertönen ließen den Ruf nach dem Heiligen Gral, sie wollten ihn schon als in der dumpfen Seele heraufdämmernde Freiheit ertönen lassen. Sie wollten dem Menschen nicht seine Freiheit nehmen, sie wollten ihm nichts aufdrängen, er sollte ein Fragender sein. Er sollte aus den Tiefen seines Seelenwesens heraus nach den Wundern des Grals fragen. Was da an geistigem Leben untergegangen ist, war wahrhaftig noch größer als sein Gegenspiel, wenn dieses auch nicht einer gewissen Größe entbehrt. Und als dann dasjenige, was als einen geistigen Weg bezeichnet hatten die Diener des Heiligen Grals, abgelöst wurde von dem physischen Weg nach dem physischen Jerusalem im Orient drüben, abgelöst wurde der Kreuzweg nach dem Gral durch die Kreuzzüge nach dem physischen Jerusalem, und als dann Gottfried von Bouillon im Gegensatz zu Rom ein äußerliches Reich in Jerusalem aufrichten wollte, aus seinem Empfinden heraus seinen Ruf «Los von Rom» ertönen ließ, da war dieser allerdings weniger suggestiv als derjenige des Peter vor Amiens, der wie eine gewaltige Suggestion wirkte, um dasjenige, was die Diener des Heiligen Grals spirituell gemeint hatten, in das Materialistische zu übersetzen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":284,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/204/1921-04-16/p016"}],"english":["GA 204/1921-04-16/p023","GA 204/1921-04-16/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":284,"en_words":310,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"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.
