Wir finden dieses Schauen in seinem letzten Ausbildungsstadium wie durch ein Weltsymbolum ausgedrückt bei demjenigen, was die drei Weisen aus dem Morgenlande, die Magier aus dem Morgenlande zu dem Christus Jesus hin getragen haben. Was sie zu dem Christus Jesus führte, ist urälteste und damals höchste Menschenweisheit. Und wir finden zu gleicher Zeit durch einen andern Evangelisten ausgedrückt die Art, wie der einzelne Mensch einfach aus den innersten Kräften seiner Seele heraus, wie im 'Traume, wo der einzelne auch mit sich allein ist- auch wenn er in Gesellschaft ist, allein ist -, wir finden, wie aus der Einsamkeit ihrer Seele träumend die Hirten auf dem Felde nun auch zu dem Christus Jesus hingeführt werden: der erste Aufgang eines neuen Zeitalters. Die Menschheit hatte schon vom 4. nachchristlichen Jahrhundert ab nicht mehr die Weisheit der Magier aus dem Morgenlande. Und in dem Zeitpunkte des Mysteriums von Golgatha haben wir Urweltweisheit in ihrer höchsten Ausbildung, die dann verglimmt, sich begegnend, verschlungen mit demjenigen, was zunächst in höchster Weisheitsarmut auftritt, was aber immer weitere Ausbildung erfahren muß, so daß es zuletzt in jedem einzelnen Menschen wurzeln kann, aber auch alle Menschen miteinander verbindet. Diejenige Weisheit, welche die Magier aus dem Morgenlande hingeführt hat zu dem Christus Jesus, sie hat in seiner Jugend Augustinus noch versucht, aus ihren letzten Resten zu erhalten. Aber Augustinus hat sie bereits in einer Form empfangen, in der er sich auf die Dauer nicht zu ihr bekennen konnte. Sie war eben in den vollständigen Niedergang gekommen. Und Augustinus mußte sich wenden zu dem, was im Anfange der Entwickelung da war, was immer weiter und weiter gehen muß, was gesucht werden muß, damit die Menschheit wiederum zur Vereinigung über den ganzen Erdkreis kommen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":312,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/210/1922-01-07/p024"}],"english":["GA 210/1922-01-07/p022","GA 210/1922-01-07/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":312,"en_words":305,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3836,"original_word_count":3780,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Johanna Collis","identified_edition":"RSP1991","book_title":"Old and New Methods of Initiation","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA210/English/RSP1991/19220107p01.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
