You see, what is at issue here is not to set up some abstract program in which a great many people see salvation, but rather to bring people into such a context in social life that they can find what is right from within the social community. My appeal and my book are addressed to people. I have said repeatedly over the past few years: I do not imagine that I am smarter than others who also have experience, but it seems to me that my proposals are close to reality, to practical life. At any moment, the things we are talking about here can be realized from any starting point, here and there. It is only a matter of having the courage to do so. I have often said that perhaps no stone will be left unturned by my individual proposals, but that people will find the right way to live together if they are given the opportunity to do so. And people will find the right way if they are grounded in the threefold social organism. My appeal is to people themselves. If people want to establish the institution in question, they will enter into relationships with each other in which they can really organize their social life in such a way that the conditions of a healthy social organism are fulfilled. It is a practical matter, a practical grouping of people according to the threefold organism. Then, in the spiritual, legal and economic spheres, people will find what is right when they are in these three spheres. It is about people, and basically, to understand this call, nothing more is needed than real faith in people. I have often been told that the call is difficult to understand. I must confess that I was surprised that people who have understood so much that I have not understood in the last four to five years said that. There was so much that people understood or thought they understood when it came from the Great Headquarters or from some other source. Then everyone understood and even framed the sayings in golden frames. But now it is important that people understand something of their own accord, out of their own free decision. Man must rely on himself; that is the first requirement. This is the keynote of this appeal and of everything that is wanted here. You will be able to deduce the actual keynote of the appeal from what I have just said, and I hope that what is wanted will be understood better and better.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Sehen Sie, um was es sich hier handelt, ist nicht, irgendein abstraktes Programm aufzustellen, in dem sehr viele Menschen das Heil sehen, sondern es handelt sich hier darum, die Menschen im sozialen Leben in einen solchen Zusammenhang zu bringen, daß sie das Richtige finden können aus der sozialen Gemeinschaft heraus. Mein Aufruf und mein Buch wenden sich an die Menschen. Ich habe in den verflossenen Jahren wiederholt gesagt: Ich bilde mir nicht ein, gescheiter zu sein als andere, die auch Erfahrungen haben, aber das scheint mir doch in meinen Vorschlägen zu liegen, daß sie an die Wirklichkeit herantreten, an das praktische Leben. In jedem Augenblick können die Dinge, um die es sich hier handelt, da und dort von jedem Ausgangspunkt aus verwirklicht werden. Es handelt sich nur darum, daß man den Mut dazu hat. Ich sagte oftmals, vielleicht bleibt von meinen einzelnen Vorschlägen kein Stein auf dem anderen, aber man wird durch das Zusammenleben der Menschen das Richtige finden, wenn man ihnen die Möglichkeit dazu gibt, dieses Richtige zu finden. Und dieses Richtige werden die Menschen finden, wenn sie in der Dreigliederung im sozialen Organismus darinnenstehen. An die Menschen selber geht mein Appell. Wenn die Menschen die gemeinte Einrichtung treffen wollen, so kommen sie in Beziehungen zueinander, in denen sie ihr soziales Leben wirklich so einrichten können, daß die Bedingungen eines gesunden sozialen Organismus erfüllt sind. Um Praktisches handelt es sich, um ein praktisches Zusammenfassen der Menschen nach dem dreigegliederten Organismus. Dann wird man auch in dem Geistesleben, dem Rechtsleben, dem Wirtschaftsleben das Rechte finden, wenn die Menschen in dieser Weise in drei Gebieten sind. Um die Menschen handelt es sich, und man braucht im Grunde genommen, um diesen Aufruf zu verstehen, nichts anderes als den wirklichen Glauben an die Menschen. Es ist mir oftmals gesagt worden, der Aufruf sei schwer verständlich. Ich muß gestehen, ich habe mich gewundert, daß das die Menschen gesagt haben, die in den letzten vier bis fünf Jahren so viel verstanden haben, was ich nicht verstanden habe. Was hat man nicht alles verstanden oder zu verstehen geglaubt, wenn es vom Großen Hauptquartier oder sonst woher kam. Da verstanden das alle Leute und rahmten sich sogar in goldene Rahmen die Aussprüche ein. Aber jetzt kommt es darauf an, daß die Menschen von sich aus einmal aus innerster freier Entschließung etwas verstehen. Auf sich muß der Mensch sich stellen, das ist die erste Forderung. Das geht als Grundton durch diesen Aufruf und durch alles das, was hier gewollt wird. Sie werden gerade aus dem, was ich zuletzt gesagt habe, den eigentlichen Grundton des Aufrufes schon entnehmen können, und ich hoffe, daß das, was gewollt wird, immer besser und besser verstanden werde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":473,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/330/1919-04-28/p033"}],"english":["GA 330/1919-04-28/p033"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":473,"en_words":458,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9703,"original_word_count":9371,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190428p02.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.
