And what was actually happening in Palestine was revealed in Hibernia in pictures that were not memories of anything in the past. On the island of Hibernia men experienced the Mystery of Golgotha in pictures, simultaneously with the historical occurrence in Palestine. And when, later on, the Mystery of Golgotha was presented in pictures in the various temples and churches and was experienced in this way by the people, the pictures were reminders of something that already belonged to the past and was therefore an historical fact which ordinary consciousness could recollect. But these pictures were seen on the island of Hibernia at a time when they could not have been memories of past history but were a direct revelation from the spiritual world. The events that took place in Palestine at the beginning of our era and were visible there to physical eyes, were beheld spiritually in Hibernia. Men experienced the Mystery of Golgotha in the spirit.

If external history is presented honestly, accounts of the period during which the downfall of Rome took place are very meagre, and the same applies to the migrations of the peoples— which as a matter of fact were outwardly not nearly so striking as people today suppose but were striking only because of their contrast with the previous and subsequent periods of tranquillity. If you were to calculate quite simply today—or rather, if you had calculated in the pre-War period—how many people let us say, leave Russia for Switzerland every year, you would find that the numbers would be greater than they were during the time of the migrations over the same area of Europe. All these things are relative. So that if one were to continue talking in the style adopted when trying to describe the migrations of the people, one would have to say that up to the beginning of the War, migrations were taking place all over Europe and also across to America.

And gradually, because of an inevitable necessity of which we have spoken in other connections, the impulse connected exclusively with physical existence gained the upper hand over the impulse connected with purely spiritual vision. The tidings of the Redeemer who had been present in a physical body on the Earth obscured the wonderful Imaginations that came over from Hibernia and could be presented in cult and ritual—these tidings gained the upper hand over the majestic Imaginations which portrayed the Redeemer as a spiritual Being and took no account, either in the corresponding rituals or descriptions, of the fact that what had come to pass was also an historical event. Still less could this aspect have been taken into account before the actual event, for the cults had been instituted in the pre-Christian era.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":161,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/232/1923-12-09/p035","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1923-12-09","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 232/1923-12-09/p031","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/232/1923-12-09/p031"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":163,"en_words":161,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Aber das ist ja alles Unsinn. Stellt man äußerlich histotisch ehrlich dar, so wird es ziemlich dünn in der historischen Darstellung für diejenige Zeit, als das alte Rom zugrunde geht, dann die verheerenden Züge der Völkerwanderung kommen, die übrigens nicht einmal so furchtbar äußerlich auffällig waren, wie sich die heutigen Menschen das vorstellen, die nur auffällig waren gegenüber der sonstigen vorherigen und nachherigen Ruhe. Aber wenn Sie einfach heute berechnen, oder meinetwillen in der Vorkriegszeit berechnet hätten, wie viele Menschen, sagen wir von Rußland nach der Schweiz ziehen in jedem Jahre, so würden Sie mehr Menschen herausbekommen, als während der Zeit der Völkerwanderung dieselbe Strecke in Europa durchmessen haben. Alle diese Dinge sind relativ. So daß man eigentlich, wenn man in dem Stile fortreden wollte, den man auf die Darstellung der Völkerwanderung anwendet, man hätte sagen müssen: Bis in die Vorkriegszeit war überhaupt alles in Europa in einer fortwährenden Völkerwanderung, auch nach Amerika hinüber.

Man weiß nicht viel von ihr. Man wird wenig beschreiben von demjenigen, was zum Beispiel hier in dieser Gegend vorgegangen ist, was in Frankreich, in Deutschland vorgegangen ist und so weiter, man wird wenig davon beschreiben. Aber gerade da war es, wo noch die Nachklänge dessen, was erschaut worden war in den hybernischen Mysterien, dennoch über Europa, wenn auch nur in einem schwachen Nachklang, herüberströmten, wo überall die Wirkungen, die Impulse der großen Mysterien von Hybernia schon in die Zivilisation einströmten. ‚Aber nun begegneten sich zwei große Strömungen. Sehen Sie, alles, was ich jetzt sage, ist eigentlich nur als Terminologie gesagt, nicht um auf irgend etwas auch nur einen Schatten von Sympathie oder Antipathie fallen zu lassen, sondern um zu schildern die geschichtliche Notwendigkeit. Zwei Strömungen begegnetensich. Die eine, welcheauf dem Umwege durch Griechenland und Rom aus dem Oriente herüberkam, die da rechnete mit der immer mehr und mehr über die Menschheit hereinbrechenden, bloß auf den Verstand und die Sinne hinzielenden Begabung, wo da gewirkt wurde mit dem, was als historische Erinnerung vorhanden war von äußerlich sichtbaren, äußerlich erlebten Ereignissen. Von Palästina herüber durch Griechenland und Rom verbreitete sich die Nachricht, die dann von den Menschen in ihrem religiösen Leben aufgenommen wurde, die Nachricht über etwas, was sich in der sinnlich-physischen Welt durch den Gott Christus in Palästina abgespielt hatte. Das war berechnet auf das Verständnis der Menschen, das nur mehr angewiesen war auf dasjenige, was wir heute das gewöhnliche, auf den Verstand und die Sinne angewiesene Bewußtsein nennen. Und das breitete sich ja auch in der großartigsten Weise aus. Aber das verdrängte schließlich dasjenige, was vom Westen, von Hybernia herüberkam, und was als ein letzter Ausklang alter instinktiver Erdenweisheit rechnete mit den alten, nur in die neue Bewußtheit hereinleuchtenden spirituellen Weistümern der Menschheit. Etwas breitete sich von Hybernia über Europa aus, was nicht rechnete in bezug auf die Erleuchtung mit Weisheit auf sinnliche Anschauung, auf den Beweis für etwas dadurch, daß man zeigen konnte, das hat sich histotisch abgespielt. Sondern da breiteten sich aus Kulte, Weisheitslchren als hybernische Kulte, als hybernische Weisheitslehren, die da rechneten mit etwas, das den Menschen erleuchtet von der geistigen Welt aus, selbst dann noch, wenn es sich, wie das Mysterium von Golgatha, auf einem anderen Erdenfleck gleichzeitig in physischer Wirklichkeit abspielt. In Hybernia wurde auf die physische Wirklichkeit von Palästina auf geistige Art geschaut.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":417,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/232/1923-12-09/p030"},{"locus":"GA 232/1923-12-09/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"Aber dasjenige, was nur anknüpfen konnte an physische Wirklichkeit, das überschattete jenes andere, das da rechnete auf spirituelle Erhebung des Menschen, auf spirituelle Verinnerlichung des Menschen, auf spirituelle Durchseelung des Menschen.
