Yesterday we started by addressing a wish which licentiate Bock had expressed at the beginning of our course and we find that what we need to build on to what I said yesterday afternoon about sacramentalism relevant to today, can be discovered if we link the possible reflections, which are necessary, to the 13th chapter of the Gospel of St Mark. It is important for us to certainly try again, in all seriousness, to derive specific meaning from what is expressed in living words. To me it is impossible that pastoral care can be developed in the future, without yourself developing the application of living words and even experiencing living words. However, it is impossible for current mankind which is so strongly gripped by materialism, to be able to handle the living Word in itself, without a historical deepening. It is simply so, that in dealing with intellectualistic concepts and ideas we are only dealing with dead words, with the corpse of the Logos. We will only deal with the living Word when we penetrate through the layer in which man lives today, only, and alone, by penetrating through the layer of the dead, the corpse-like words.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIV.

Wir haben gestern begonnen einem Wunsche zu entsprechen, der mir gleich am Anfange des Kurses von Herrn Lizentiat Bock ausgesprochen worden ist, und wir werden ja finden, daß das, was wir nun brauchen zum Ausbau desjenigen, was ich gestern nachmittag ausgeführt habe über den Sakramentalismus im Sinne unserer heutigen Zeit, gerade gewonnen werden kann, wenn wir die Betrachtungen, die möglich und, ich möchte sagen, notwendig sind, anknüpfen an so etwas wie das 13. Kapitel des Markus-Evangeliums. Denn es muß sich uns ja darum handeln, daß wir durchaus wiederum in einem bestimmten Sinne ernstzunehmen versuchen das Heraussprechen aus dem lebendigen Worte. Es erscheint mir unmöglich, daß in der Zukunft ein Seelsorgerwirken sich ausbilden kann, ohne daß man selber sich hinentwickelt zu diesem Handhaben des lebendigen Wortes, eben zu dem Erleben des Wortes. Es ist aber unmöglich für den heutigen Menschen, der so stark in den Intellektualismus verstrickt ist, dazu zu kommen, das lebendige Wort in sich zu handhaben, ohne eine historische Vertiefung. Denn es ist ja nun einmal so, daß in der Handhabung der intellektualistischen Begriffe und Ideen wir es nur zu tun haben mit dem toten Worte, mit dem Leichnam des Logos, und daß wir es erst zu tun bekommen mit dem lebendigen Worte, wenn wir gewissermaßen durchdringen durch die Schicht, in der heute der Mensch einzig und allein lebt, durch die Schicht der toten, der leichnamsgemäßen Worte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/343/gnostics_and_montanists/p003"}],"english":["GA 343/gnostics_and_montanists/p003"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":231,"en_words":200,"ratio":0.87,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6323,"original_word_count":6411,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Hanna von Maltitz","identified_edition":"SOL2018","book_title":"The Foundation Course","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA343/English/SOL2018/Lecture_14_4616a.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
