It is thus in reality. The books of ancient wisdom tell us this in their own language, and the saying of Christ-Jesus points to these things: *Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away*. All that constitutes the material world is dissolved, but that which issues from the spirit and soul and is expressed in words survives the destruction of the earth and lives on into the future. The causes of the future exist within us, and need not be investigated by geologists. We should seek them among the inner forces of our organism which pass over into our next earth-life first, but then continue into other metamorphoses. Hence when you search for the future of the world you must look within man. Everything external perishes utterly.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Und ich möchte heute diese Betrachtung damit abschließen, daß ich Sie auf eine Idee hinweise, die ich Sie bitte, ein bißchen durchzudenken, durchzumeditieren. Die heutige Wissenschaft stellt sich vor: Das ist das Weltgeschehen. In diesem Weltgeschehen ist einmal die Erde entstanden. Dann wird wiederum die Erde, wenn die Entropie erfüllt ist, in den Wärmetod aufgehen und so weiter. - Wenn man heute sich so eine Anschauung bildet wie die Kopernikanische oder irgendeinen modifizierten Kopernikanismus, dann nimmt man eigentlich nur Rücksicht auf die Kräfte, die den Urnebel gebildet haben und so weiter, und das Menschenleben ist dabei im Grunde genommen das fünfte Rad am Wagen. Denn der Geologe, der Astronom sieht ja gar nicht hin auf den Menschen. Es fällt ihm gar nicht ein, die Ursache für eine künftige Weltgestaltung im Menschen irgendwie zu suchen. Der Mensch ist überall dadrinnen in diesem Weltgeschehen, aber er ist das fünfte Rad am Wagen. Das Weltgeschehen läuft ab, er hat nichts damit zu tun. Stellen Sie sich aber das so vor: Dieses ganze Weltgeschehen nimmt ein Ende, hört da auf, verliert sich im Raume. Es hört auf, und für das, was dann da weiter draußen geschieht, liegen die Ursachen immer innerhalb der menschlichen Haut, im Menschen; die setzen sich fort. Und dasjenige, was hier Welt ist, das ist nur innerhalb des Menschen veranlagt in der Vorzeit. — So ist es nämlich in Wirklichkeit. Und wie uns Weisheitsbücher solche Dinge überhaupt in ihrer Sprache sagen, so weist auf diese Dinge hin das Wort des Christus Jesus: «Himmel und Erde werden vergehen, aber meine Worte werden nicht vergehen.» Alles, was materielle Welt ist, sinkt hin, aber dasjenige, was aus dem Geiste und der Seele kommt und in Worten sich ausspricht, das überlebt den Niedergang der Welt und lebt sich in die Zukunft hinein. Die Ursachen für die Zukunft liegen nicht außerhalb unserer Haut, die haben nicht die Geologen zu untersuchen, sondern die haben wir im Inneren zu suchen, in den nach inwärts liegenden Kräften unserer Organisation, die zunächst in unser nächstes Erdenleben hinübergehen, aber dann weitergehen in andere Metamorphosen. So daß, wenn Sie die Zukunft der Welt suchen, Sie in den Menschen hineinschauen müssen. Das was äußerlich ist, das vergeht ganz.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":377,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-02/p027"}],"english":["GA 205/1921-07-02/p042","GA 205/1921-07-02/p043"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":377,"en_words":374,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6018,"original_word_count":6058,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"AP1946","book_title":"Psychoanalysis in the Light of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/Psych/English/AP1946/19210702p02.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","note":"rsarchive's lecture list spells the credit 'Mary Laird-Brown'; the lecture pages of this edition print 'May Laird-Brown', which is served.","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
