They received the impulses for what they did from what was said to them with the help of these ocean beings and air beings. Here again, one could only have twelve people. This struck me there at the time, because one can still perceive what this establishment of the number twelve is based on. When one has to do with world percepts which have been created by elemental beings in this way, one finds that there are twelve nuances or kinds of perception. However, if any one person wants to grasp all 12, they all become blurred. The knights at Arthur's round table arranged things in such a way that each of them grasped one of these 12 nuances. But they were convinced that this gave each of them a sharply differentiated feeling for the universe and for the tasks that it presented them. But there couldn't have been a thirteenth, for this would have had to be similar to one of the 12.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":184,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/346/1924-09-08/p034","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1924-09-08","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 346/1924-09-08/p031","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/346/1924-09-08/p031"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":170,"en_words":184,"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.

Mir ist das vor kurzer Zeit wiederum so lebendig entgegengetreten, als wir von Torquay, wo wir unsere englischen Sommerkurse hatten, hinausfuhren nach der Stätte, wo einst das Schloß des Königs Artus stand, des Artus mit seinen zwölf Rittern. Man sieht es heute dieser Stätte noch an, was sie einmal an lebendigem Leben bedeutete. Wenn man diese in das Meer hinausgehenden Landvorsprünge sieht, die besetzt sind mit den spärlichen noch vorhandenen Ruinen der alten Artusschlösser, die wunderbare Gestalt hatten, und dort den Blick hinausrichtet auf das Meer - (es wird an die Tafel gezeichnet:) in der Mitte ist ein Berg, hier das Meer und da das Meer -, dann sieht man das Meer diese dortige Gegend so merkwürdig durchseelend. Ein Bild, das einen Eindruck darbietet, der fortwährend wechselt. Während wir dort waren, wechselten in verhältnismäßig kurzer Zeit rasch hintereinander Sonnenschein und Regen. Das ist natürlich in der alten Zeit auch der Fall gewesen. Heute ist es sogar stiller; in dieser Beziehung hat sich das Klima dort geändert. Nun schaut man in dieses wunderbare Wechselspiel, in das Ineinanderspielen der elementarischen Lichtgeister, die Beziehungen eingehen mit den Wassergeistern, die von unten nach oben heraufstrahlen, und wiederum sieht man ganz besondere Geister-Erscheinungen, wenn das Meer anbrandet an das Land und sich losringend zurückgeworfen wird, oder wenn das Meer sich aufkräuselt. Nirgends sonst als an dieser Stätte der Erde findet man dieses eigentümliche Leben und Weben der elementarischen Weltwesen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":245,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/346/1924-09-08/p030"},{"locus":"GA 346/1924-09-08/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"Das, was ich dort sehen durfte, war das Instrument der Inspiration für die Teilnehmer der Artustafelrunde.

Ich sage, es trat mir das entgegen, weil man tatsächlich heute noch wahrnehmen kann, worauf die Einsetzung dieser Zwölfzahl beruhte. Es gibt eben zwölf Nuancen des Wahrnehmens, wenn man es in dieser Art mit durch elementarische Wesen zustande gekommenen Weltwahrnehmungen zu tun hat, zwölf Arten des Wahrnehmens. Wenn man aber als einzelner Mensch alle zwölf erfassen will, so wird immer eine durch die andere undeutlich. Die Ritter der Artustafelrunde haben ihre Aufgaben daher so verteilt, daß jede immer als eine dieser zwölf Nuancen aufgefaßt werden kann. Sie waren überzeugt, damit hatte jeder ein von dem anderen scharf differenziertes Gefühl von dem Weltall, dessen Aufgabe sie übernahmen. Aber es konnte keinen Dreizehnten geben, denn der hätte wieder einem von den Zwölfen ähnlich sein müssen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":170,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/346/1924-09-08/p031"}],"beads":[{"from":[32,33],"to":[30],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[34],"to":[31],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
