Wir stellen uns vor das, was ich hier als Gelbes einzeichne, als eben der gehaltene Atem in unserer Gegend. Die Erde hat vollständig eingeatmet; sie hält die Kräfte, von denen ich eben gesprochen habe, in sich zusammen. In diesem Augenblicke des Jahres ist die Erde so, daß man sagen kann, sie hält ihr Seelisches in sich. Sie hat ihr Seelisches ganz in sich gesogen, denn die Kräfte, von denen ich gesprochen habe, die sind das Seelische der Erde. Die Erde also hält mit Ende Dezember ihr Seelisches ganz in sich. Sie hat es ganz aufgesogen, so wie der Mensch, wenn er eingeatmet hat, die Luft ganz in sich hält. Das ist die Zeit, in welche mit Recht die Geburt Jesu gesetzt wird, weil da die Erde gewissermaßen im inneren Besitz ihrer gesamten Seelenkraft ist. Und indem Jesus geboren wird in diesem Zeitpunkte, wird er herausgeboren aus einer Erdenkraft, die alles Erdenseelische in sich trägt. Und einen tiefen Sinn haben in der Zeit des Mysteriums von Golgatha die Eingeweihten, die, ich möchte sagen, der alten Einweihung noch würdig waren, einen tiefen Sinn haben diese Eingeweihten verbunden mit der Anschauung, die sie ausgebildet haben von dem Fallen der Geburt Jesu in diesen Zeitpunkt der irdischen Einatmung, des irdischen Atemhaltens. Diese Eingeweihten haben etwa das Folgende gesagt. Wenn man in alten Tagen, da unsere Einweihungsstätten gestanden haben innerhalb der chaldäischen, innerhalb der ägyptischen Kultur, von jener Wesenheit, die das Hohe Sonnenwesen darstellt, sprach und man wissen wollte, was dieses Hohe Sonnenwesen zu sagen hatte den irdischen Menschen, dann bildete man sich über diese Sprache des Hohen Sonnenwesens auf die folgende Weise eine Ansicht. Man beobachtete das Sonnenlicht in seiner Geistigkeit nicht direkt; man beobachtete das Sonnenlicht in der Art, wie es vom Monde zurückgestrahlt wird. Indem man den Blick hinaufwendete zum Monde, sah man mit Hilfe des alten hellseherischen Seelenblickes mit dem Heranfluten des Mondenlichtes die Offenbarung des Geistes des Weltenalls. Und in einer mehr äußerlichen Weise ergab sich der Sinn dieser Offenbarung, indem man die Konstellation des Mondes in bezug auf die Fixsternbilder und in bezug auf die Planeten beobachtete.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":354,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/223/1923-03-31/p008"}],"english":["GA 223/1923-03-31/p009","GA 223/1923-03-31/p010","GA 223/1923-03-31/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":354,"en_words":307,"ratio":0.87,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4277,"original_word_count":3925,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Barbara Betteridge and Frances E.
