But the people came together there all the same,—those that had these impulses in them. However, it is a movement which set out from the first to be a common human one; and so the satisfaction was just as great when the simplest minds turned up in places such as I have just described. Rut still, it was not felt to be all too disagreeable,—for, after all, that too was part of human nature!—when people turned up, more of the kind—as I might say—that then stood sponsors to the anthroposophic movement in an aristocratic style, as was the case in Munich. The door was not closed to any kind of human forms and fashions. But always the thing, my dear friends, which had to be regarded was this: that the souls who thus came together were of the kind that were constituted as I have described: so that, in reality, the people who came together in associations like these were people marked out by fate,—and are so still to-day: marked out by fate.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Blavatsky's Legacy and the Christian Path Forward","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.

Und als einmal diese nicht brauchbar war, wies man uns in etwas, was eine Art Stall war. Da kamen die Leute hin, die so beschaffen waren, so beschaffen sind, wie ich es Ihnen eben jetzt erzählt habe. In einer deutschen Stadt habe ich in einem Saal vorgetragen, in dem stückweise überhaupt kein Fußboden war, wo man immer achtgeben mußte, daß man nicht in ein Loch hineinplumpste und sich das Bein brach. Aber es versammelten sich da eben diejenigen Menschen, die diese Impulse hatten. Allerdings, diese Bewegung war von vornherein darauf angelegt, allgemein menschlich zu sein. Und so war die Befriedigung ebenso groß, wenn das einfachste Gemüt sich einfand in solchen Lokalitäten, wie ich sie eben beschrieben habe. Aber man fand das nicht zu unbehaglich, weil das eben auch zur Menschlichkeit gehörte, wenn sich, ich möchte sagen, die Menschen mehr so einfanden, daß sie dann die anthroposophische Bewegung auf aristokratische Art, wie es zum Beispiel in München war, aus der Taufe hoben.
