But anyone who takes what I said at the time in the Vienna cycle in 1914, and considers it, will see that it points to stages in the development of humanity that make much of what has had to be experienced in the last three years understandable. Only, my dear friends, one could say that in many respects people have not yet really come to their senses. Experience and experience can be very different in the present. In this respect, it happens that people believe they are experiencing the present, but meanwhile they are oversleeping it. And today one can meet a great many people who, in the most important matters, always judge as they did in January 1914, although their hearts should be deeply moved by such terrible trials. But for the person who views the world from a certain spiritual-scientific point of view, what is now taking place within humanity must present not just one, but many, many riddles. The desire to solve these riddles with what are today superficial ideas, which pass through the general consciousness or general education in this way, should actually pass away. One should develop a longing, an urge to seek out the deeper forces that prevail in human development and that make it understandable why humanity has entered into such a crisis.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"26.

Aber wer dieses nimmt, was ich seinerzeit gesagt habe in dem Wiener Zyklus im Jahre 1914, wer das in Betracht zieht, der wird sehen, dass auf Menschheits-Entwicklungszustände hingewiesen ist, die vieles von dem begreiflich machen, was nun erlebt werden musste in den letzten drei Jahren. Nur, meine lieben Freunde, man könnte sagen: Die Menschen sind in vieler Beziehung ja noch gar nicht recht zur Besinnung gekommen. Erleben und Erleben kann in der Gegenwart etwas sehr Verschiedenes sein. In dieser Beziehung geschieht es, dass die Menschen zwar glauben, die Gegenwart zu erleben, indessen verschlafen sie sie. Und man kann heute Menschen in gar nicht geringer Zahl antreffen, welche in den wichtigsten Dingen heute immer so urteilen wie im Januar des Jahres 1914, trotzdem so arge Prüfungen durch ihre Herzen gezogen sein müssten. Aber gerade demjenigen, der die Welt von einem gewissen geisteswissenschaftlichen Standpunkte ansieht, dem muss dasjenige, was sich jetzt innerhalb der Menschheit abspielt, nicht nur eines, sondern viele, viele Rätsel aufgeben. Diese Rätsel lösen zu wollen mit demjenigen, was heute oberflächliche Vorstellungen sind, die so durch das allgemeine Bewusstsein oder die allgemeine Bildung gehen, das sollte einem eigentlich vergehen. Man sollte die Sehnsucht, den Trieb bekommen, die tieferen Kräfte aufzusuchen, die da in der Menschheitsentwicklung walten, und die es verständlich machen, warum die Menschheit in eine solche Krisis eingetreten ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/251/1917-06-12/p013"}],"english":["GA 251/1917-06-12/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":237,"en_words":233,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":14660,"original_word_count":14350,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The History of the Anthroposophical Society 1913–1922","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA251/English/SOL2024/19170612s01.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.
