This Persian-Germanic initiation is still effective in our time, but it has, as it were, something enclosed within it, the medieval initiation mentioned earlier, that is, the one characterized in the first figure. The medieval initiation is, as it were, shorter, and this one encompasses the whole long period. What matters in it is that the duality in the world - the bright, Luciferic, the dark, Ahrimanic - be seen through in its entire effect on the world. Here you have on the one hand the dark, Ahrimanic: the small head is in fact Ahriman, the other is his shadow, which he carries with him. On the other side: the Lucifer figure. You can see how this is developed in the sculptural group – you have all seen the group. So you can see how the contrast between the head of Ahriman and the head of Lucifer confronts you. And in the painting, one could also clearly express this mutual relationship between Ahriman and Lucifer.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Es ist so, dass diese persisch-germanische Initiation noch in unserer Zeit wirkt, aber dass sie gewissermaßen wie etwas von ihr Umschlossenes die vorhin genannte, also in der ersten Figur charakterisierte mittelalterliche Initiation hat. Die mittelalterliche Initiation ist gewissermaßen kürzer dauernd, und diese hier umfasst den ganzen langen Zeitraum. Bei ihr kommt es namentlich darauf an, dass die Dualität in der Welt - das Helle, Luziferische, das Finstere, Ahrimanische - in der ganzen Wirkung auf die Welt durchschaut werde. Hier haben Sie auf der einen Seite das Finstere, Ahrimanische: Der kleine Kopf ist in Wahrheit der Ahriman, das andere ist sein Schatten, den er mit sich führt. Auf der anderen Seite: die Luziferfigur. Sie sehen sie dann in der plastischen Gruppe ja ausgebildet - Sie haben ja alle die Gruppe gesehen. Sie sehen also, wie der Gegensatz eines Ahrimanhauptes und eines Luziferhauptes einem da entgegentritt. Und im Malerischen konnte man auch dieses gegenseitige Verhältnis von Ahriman und Luzifer deutlich zum Ausdruck bringen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":169,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/288/1920-04-05/p029"}],"english":["GA 288/1920-04-05/p029"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":169,"en_words":174,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6652,"original_word_count":6409,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Architecture, Sculpture and Painting of the First Goetheanum","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA288/English/SOL2024/19200405p01.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.
