In the old way, to look into the spiritual world, one had to lift oneself to a higher level of one’s humanity. Of course, this ancient way of knowing was not the same as our present exact clairvoyance. Nevertheless, the human being did see into the spiritual world. The mystery rites were enacted, not to display something for the outer eye, but to awaken inner experience in the whole human being. Mighty destinies formed the subject of these mystery rites. Through them, human beings were brought to forget their ordinary selves. They were lifted out of ordinary life. Although in a dream and not as clearly as is required today, they entered the state of living outside their bodies. That was the purpose of the mysteries. By the witness of deeply-moving scenes and actions, the mysteries sought to bring the neophyte to the point of living and experiencing outside the physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":176,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/304/1922-04-23/p021","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1922-04-23","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p010"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p011","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p011"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p012","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p012"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p013","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p013"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 304/1922-04-23/p010","GA 304/1922-04-23/p011"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":1001,"en_words":1082,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

But when we are outside the body, our feeling encompasses everything that surrounds us. We experience in feeling all of the life around us. Imagine that a person is outside the physical body with his or her soul and spiritual life and experiences spiritually—not with the intellect’s ice-cold forces, but with the forces of the soul, with feeling and emotion. Imagine what it feels like to experience outside the body in this way. It is a great sympathy with all things—with thunder and lightning, with the rippling of the stream, the welling forth of the river spring, the sighing of the wind—and a feeling of togetherness also with other human beings, as well as with the spiritual entities of the world.

I refer to a certain sense of fear. These two feelings—the feeling of empathy with all the world, and the feeling of fear—played a great part in the ancient mysteries. When the pupils had strengthened themselves in their inner lives so that they were able, without turning away and without losing their inner control, to bear both the living empathy with the world and the fear, then they were ripe enough and sufficiently evolved really to see into the spiritual worlds. They were then ready to live and experience the spiritual world. And they were ready, too, to communicate to their fellow human beings knowledge drawn from spiritual worlds. With their feeling, they could work down from the spiritual worlds into this world, and a new poetic power was revealed in their speech. Their hands became skilled to work in colors; they were able to command the inner rhythm of their organism so that they could become musicians for the benefit of other human beings. In this way, they became artists. They could hand down from the mysteries what the primeval religions gave to humanity. Anyone who looks into the Catholic Mass with inner spiritual knowledge knows that it is the last shadow-like reflection of what was living in the mysteries.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/304/1922-04-23/p023","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1922-04-23","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p010"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p011","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p011"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p012","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p012"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p013","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p013"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 304/1922-04-23/p012"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":1001,"en_words":1082,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Afterward, these two separated. In Aeschylus and in Sophocles we already see the artistic element, as it were, lifted out of the mysteries. There is the divine hero, Prometheus. In Prometheus, the human being comes to know something of the deeply-moving, terrifying experiences, the inner fear of the mysteries. What was living in the mysteries, in which the neophytes were initiated into a higher stage of life, becomes in Prometheus a picture, though permeated with living dramatic power. Thus drama became an image of the deepest human experiences. Aristotle, who was already, in a sense, an intellectual, still lived in some of the old traditions. He knew and experienced how drama was a kind of echo of the ancient mysteries. For this reason, Aristotle said, putting into words what was an echo of the ancient mysteries living on in Aeschylus and Sophocles, what has been dismissed by learned men again and again in their books: “Drama is the representation of a scene calling forth sympathy and fear, in order that human beings may be purified of physical passions, that they may undergo catharsis.” We cannot understand what this catharsis, or purification, means unless we look back into the ancient mysteries and see how people were purified of what is physical and lived through mighty experiences in the supersensible, outside their physical bodies. Aristotle describes what had already become a picture in Greek drama. Afterward, this passed over to later dramatists, and we see in Corneille and Racine something that is a fulfillment of Aristotle’s words. We see characters clothed, as it were, in fear and compassion—compassion that is none other than the ancient sympathy and experience with all the world that the human being experienced outside the body. The fear is always there when the human being faces the unknown. The supersensible is always, in a sense, the unknown.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":324,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/304/1922-04-23/p024","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1922-04-23","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p010"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p011","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p011"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p012","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p012"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p013","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p013"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 304/1922-04-23/p012","GA 304/1922-04-23/p013"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":1001,"en_words":1082,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

So wie man heute an die Welt herangeht, um Erkenntnis zu gewinnen, war das in alter Zeit nicht der Fall. Der Mensch mußte erst zu einer höheren Stufe seiner Menschlichkeit hinaufsteigen, um dann in der alten Art - die nicht dieselbe ist wie die exakte Clairvoyance - hineinzuschauen in die geistige Welt.

Außerhalb seines Leibes lernt man auch das wirklich miterleben. Damit aber wird verbunden ein anderes Gefühl, das den Menschen überkommt, wenn er dem zunächst Unbekannten gegenübersteht. Es ist ein gewisses Gefühl der Furcht, der Angst. Beide Gefühle spielten die größte Rolle in den alten Mysterien: dieses Gefühl des Miterlebens der Welt und dieses Gefühl der Furcht. Und wenn der Mensch sich so stark gemacht hatte in seinem Inneren, daß er nun ertragen konnte dieses Miterleben der Welt, daß er ertragen konnte auch die Furcht, ohne sich dabei innerlich zu ergeben oder abzuwenden, dann war er geeignet, dann war er so weit entwickelt, daß er nun in die geistige Welt wirklich hineinschauen konnte, daß er die geistige Welt miterleben konnte, daß er seinen Mitmenschen Erkenntnisse überliefern konnte von geistigen Welten, aber auch mit diesem Gefühl wiederum in diese geistige Welt wirkte; daß seine Sprache eine neue poetische Kraft offenbarte, daß seine Hand geeignet wurde, die Farben zu beherrschen, daß er seine innere Rhythmik so handhaben konnte, daß er zum Musiker der Menschen wurde. Er wurde zum Künstler. Er konnte das den Menschen überliefern, was die Urreligionen dem Menschen gaben, durchaus aus dem Mysterium heraus. -— Wer heute das katholische Meßopfer mit innerer menschlicher Erkenntnis durchschaut, der weiß: es ist dieses das letzte schattenhafte Bild desjenigen, was in den Mysterien lebend war. - Das, was so in den Mysterien lebte, es hatte seine künstlerische, seine religiöse Seite. Die trennten sich später. Indem wir auf Äschylos hinschauen, auf Sophokles hinschauen, haben wir schon den Teil herausgehoben aus den Mysterien, der der künstlerische Einschlag war. Wir haben den göttlichen Helden Prometheus; er soll erleben, wie der Mensch Erschütterndes durchmachen kann, wie der Mensch innerliche Schreckens- und Furchtzustände durchmachen kann. Zum Bilde war dasjenige geworden — das aber im Menschen wie dramatisches Darstellen wurde -, was in den alten Mysterien lebendig war, um im Menschen zu einer höheren Stufe hinaufzuheben, was in Mysterien initiiert werden sollte. So war dies ein Nachbild geworden der tiefsten menschlichen Erlebnisse. - Aristoteles hatte doch noch einige Traditionen von der Art, wie das alte Drama hervorgegangen ist aus den Mysterien. Aristoteles hat jenen Satz geprägt, den die Gelehrten überall in Büchern behandelt haben, die überall in Bibliotheken zu finden sind; er hat etwas hingeschrieben, was noch ein Nachklang der alten Mysterien war, was in Äschylos und Sophokles weiterlebte: daß das Drama die Darstellung einer Handlung ist, die Mitleid und Furcht erregt, damit der Mensch gereinigt werden könne von physischen Leidenschaften, damit er die Katharsis durchmache. - Man versteht nicht, was diese Katharsis, diese Reinigung bedeutet, wenn man nicht zurückschauen kann in die alten Mysterien und sehen kann, wie die Menschen vom Physischen gereinigt wurden, außerhalb ihres Leibes erleben konnten das Übersinnliche in mächtigen Erlebnissen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":542,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p012"},{"locus":"GA 304/1922-04-23/p013","passage_number":13,"text":"Aristoteles hat schon das geschildert, was zum Bilde geworden war in dem Drama.

Aber die Furcht ist immer da, wenn der Mensch vor dem Unbekannten steht, und das Übersinnliche ist immer gewissermaßen etwas Unbekanntes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":88,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/304/1922-04-23/p013"}],"beads":[{"from":[20,21,22,23,24],"to":[10,11,12,13],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
