What the wise had taught as cosmic knowledge formed the content of cosmic initiation. Looking into the souls of those who preceded man in the life of the soul leads to the second level of soul being. Man can begin with all this in his outer historicity. When we grasp with inner aliveness what still shines through from ancient times – let us say in the wonderful Vedanta wisdom and other wisdom of older times – then in turn our own inner aliveness is grasped, and we are brought close to the initiation of the cosmos. And when one delves into such things with heartfelt love, as I presented them in my book 'Christianity as Mystical Fact', where an attempt has been made to present the old mysteries in their content in connection with the mystery of Golgotha, then one comes close to initiation by the wise.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Hineinschauen in die Seelen derjenigen, die im Seelenleben den Menschen vorangegangen sind, das führt in die zweite Stufe des Seelenwesens hinein. Der Mensch kann schon in äußerer Geschichtlichkeit mit alldem beginnen. Wenn man das, was noch herüberglänzt aus alten Zeiten - sagen wir in der wunderbaren Vedantaweisheit und aus anderen Weisheitsinhalten älterer Zeiten —, mit innerer Lebendigkeit erfaßt, dann erfaßt einen dafür auch wiederum die eigene innere Lebendigkeit, und man wird nahegebracht an die Initiation des Kosmos. Und wenn man sich mit inniger Liebe in solche Dinge vertieft, wie ich sie in meinem Buche «Das Christentum als mystische Tatsache» darstellte, wo versucht worden ist, die alten Mysterien in ihren Inhalten hinzustellen im Zusammenhange mit dem Mysterium von Golgatha, dann kommt man nahe der Initiation durch die Weisen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":164,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/225/1923-07-21/p055"}],"english":["GA 225/1923-07-21/p055"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":164,"en_words":165,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6465,"original_word_count":6221,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA225/English/SOL2024/19230721p01.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.
