Das ist wiederum nicht damit verknüpft, daß wir nicht forschen sollten, inwiefern wir selber die Wiederverkörperung von irgend jemand sind. Aber nun handelt es sich nicht darum, von einer Person aus die andere Persönlichkeit zu suchen. Das wäre ein bequemer Weg. Sondern es ist in einer solchen Weise zu suchen, wie ich es selber in einem Vortrage angedeutet habe. Es ist so zu suchen, daß wir zuerst darauf kommen, ich möchte sagen, gewisse Geheimnisse unseres Lebens zu durchschauen. Dann werden wir schon weiterkommen. Wir stehen in dieser Beziehung wirklich an einem unendlich bedeutungsvollen Punkte: daß wir wissen und beachten müssen das triviale Sprichwort: Man soll das Kind nicht mit dem Bade ausgießen. Aber auf der anderen Seite muß man mit aller Strenge zu Werke gehen, damit nicht das eintritt, was einer okkultistischen Bewegung im eminentesten Sinne schädlich wäre, nämlich das allmähliche Sich-Hineinleben in eine Dunstsphäre, in eine Sphäre der Unklarheit. Und was ist das für eine unglaubliche Unklarheit, wenn man sagen kann: Nicht die Lehre und nicht der Lehrer, sondern der Mensch wird gesucht — und dann wieder: Ach, der Mensch ist vom Bösen, die Lehre ist aber gut -, die Lehre, die man zuerst eben abgelehnt hat. Das ist ein Hineinleben in eine nebulose Sphäre; aber um Klarheit, Genauigkeit handelt es sich. Von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus müssen wir im Dienste unserer Bewegung die Sache betrachten. Es kann praktische Gesichtspunkte geben, die eine gewisse Härtigkeit in der Behandlungsweise notwendig machen. Das ist eine andere Sache. Aber wir müssen in unserem Inneren immer im Auge behalten, auf welchem Boden wir stehen, wir müssen im Auge behalten, daß wir auf dem Boden einer ernsten, würdigen Geistesbewegung stehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":303,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/254/1915-10-19/p060"}],"english":["GA 254/1915-10-19/p057","GA 254/1915-10-19/p058","GA 254/1915-10-19/p059"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":303,"en_words":253,"ratio":0.83,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.96,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6730,"original_word_count":7013,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
