Nothing happens in the physical world that has not been prepared for spiritually, in the spiritual world. And this is the significant thing: What is coming to pass here on the Earth in the twentieth century as the gathering together of a number of human beings in the Anthroposophical Society, was prepared for during the first half of the nineteenth century when the souls of those human beings who are now in incarnation and are coming together in large numbers, were united in the spiritual realms before they descended into the physical world. In the spiritual worlds at that time a kind of cult or ritual was lived through by a number of souls who were working together—a cult which instigated those longings that have arisen in the souls of those who now, in their present incarnations, come to the Anthroposophical Society. And whoever has a gift for recognising such souls in their bodies, does indeed recognise them as having worked together with him in the first half of the nineteenth century, when, in the spiritual world, mighty, cosmic Imaginations were presented of what I will call the *new Christianity*. Up there—as in their bodies now—the souls were united in order to gather into themselves out of what I will call the Cosmic Substantiality and the Cosmic Forces, that which, in mighty pictures, was of cosmic significance. It was the prelude of what was to become anthroposophical teaching and practice here on the Earth. By far the majority of the Anthroposophists who now sit together with one another would be able, if they perceived this, to say: Yes, we know one another, we were together in spiritual worlds, and in a super-sensible cult we experienced mighty, cosmic Imaginations together!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Chartres School Platonists and Dominican Aristotelians","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Jahrhundert hier auf der Erde sich vollzieht als das Zusammenströmen einer Anzahl von Persönlichkeiten zu der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft, das hat sich in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts dadurch vorbereitet, daß die Seelen dieser heute verkörperten Menschen, die da in großer Anzahl zusammenströmen, im Geistigen vereinigt waren, als sie noch nicht in die physisch-sinnliche Welt herabgestiegen waren. Und es ist dazumal in den geistigen Welten von einer Anzahl von Seelen, zusammen wirkend, eine Art von Kultus gepflegt worden, ein Kultus, der die Vorbereitung für diejenigen Sehnsuchten war, die in den Seelen aufgetreten sind, welche in Leibern jetzt zur Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft zusammenströmen. Und wer die Gabe hat, die Seelen in ihren Leibern wiederzuerkennen, der erkennt sie, wie sie in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts mit ihm zusammen gewirkt haben, als in der übersinnlichen Welt hingestellt worden sind mächtige kosmische Imaginationen, welche dasjenige darstellen, was ich nennen könnte: das neue Christentum. Da waren - wie jetzt hier in Leibern auf Erden — die Seelen vereinigt, um sich aus dem, was ich die kosmische Substantialität und die kosmischen Kräfte nennen möchte, in Realität dasjenige zusammenzufügen, was in mächtigen Bildern kosmische Bedeutung hatte und was der Vorklang desjenigen war, das sich hier als Lehre, als anthroposophisches Tun auf der Erde vollziehen soll. Ich möchte sagen: die weitaus meisten der Anthroposophen, die beisammensitzen, könnten, wenn sie diesen Tatbestand durchschauen würden, einander sagen: Ja, wir kennen uns, wir waren in geistigen Welten zusammen und haben in einem übersinnlichen Kultus mächtige kosmische Imaginationen zusammen gehabt!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":294,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/240/1924-07-18/p013"}],"english":["GA 240/1924-07-18/p012"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":294,"en_words":303,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7420,"original_word_count":7161,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"D.
