It is the destiny of man to pass out of his etheric body and so, finally, to attain to knowledge of himself as a human being. But obviously there is a certain danger here. It is possible for man to lose connection with his etheric body. This danger was mitigated by the Mystery of Golgotha. Whereas before the Mystery of Golgotha man was able to look out and see the destinies of the Gods, after that Event it became possible for him to see his own world-destiny. In the course of his evolution, man’s tendency is more and more to ‘go out of himself ‘ in the sense described above. But if, as he does so, he understands the words of Paul: “Not I but Christ in me” in their true meaning, his connection with the Christ will bring him back again into the realm of the human. His link with the Christ sets up a counter¬balance to the process which gradually takes him ‘out of himself.’ This experience must deepen and intensify. In the course of world-destiny the outer Gods passed into twilight, but just because of this it was possible for a God to work out His destiny on the Earth itself and thus be wholly united with mankind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Christ and the Evolution of Consciousness","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-08-05","location":null,"word_count":244,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/214/1922-08-05/p013","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":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA214/English/Singles/19220805p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.

So daß also das allgemeine Menschenschicksal ist, aus dem Ätherleib immer mehr und mehr herauszukommen und den Menschen kennenzulernen. Aber das ist natürlich etwas, was mit einer gewissen Gefahr verbunden ist. Man verliert allmählich - oder wenigstens ist die Möglichkeit vorhanden, den Zusammenhang zu verlieren mit seinem ätherischen Leibe. Es ist eben im Weltenschicksal der Menschheit dem abgeholfen worden durch das Mysterium von Golgatha. Während der Mensch vorher die Götterschicksale außen gesehen hat, ist er seither dazu veranlagt, sein eigenes Welten-Menschenschicksal zu sehen. Aber indem er immer mehr und mehr aus sich herausgeht und das Mysterium von Golgatha so verstanden wird, wie es Paulus haben wollte: «Nicht ich, sondern der Christus in mir», kommt der Mensch durch seine Verbindung mit dem Christus wieder in das Menschliche hinein. Also gerade durch das Christus-Erlebnis kann er dieses allmähliche Herausgehen ertragen. Aber dieses Christus-Erlebnis muß eben immer intensiver und intensiver werden. Deshalb, als im Verlaufe des Weltenschicksals die äußere Götterwelt immer mehr und mehr abdämmerte, dämmerte im Menschen die Möglichkeit auf, nun ein Götterschicksal zu haben, das sich auf der Erde selbst abgespielt hat, das also mit dem Menschen ganz verbunden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":209,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/214/1922-08-05/p009"}],"english":["GA 214/1922-08-05/p013"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":209,"en_words":244,"ratio":1.17,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4535,"original_word_count":4489,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA214/English/Singles/19220805p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
