So it said in the letter they sent us. I have long been aware of the intentions of the spiritual alliance, which has hitherto kept itself strictly separate from us profane humans, and now considers the time ripe to come together with us. Until now, we were considered too immature to learn even the slightest thing about what it considers its secrets. They are supposed to solve the great riddles that torment the human heart and soul, and also to intervene in human history as the true impulses of progress. I am one of those who have always been averse to all mysterious striving in such matters. I adhere to sound reason, which is accessible to all people without a distinguished esoteric affiliation, and which, in constant progress, provides answers to the questions of existence and shows the goals of human striving. Until now, that spiritual brotherhood regarded people of this kind as mere instinctive beings who had to be unconsciously guided by the high insights of the initiates. It now seems to want to depart from its strict secrecy and seclusion. However, for special reasons, we will not be allowed to penetrate further than what they call the vestibule. I have appeared only so that no one can say that I am stubbornly resisting the hand offered to me. I do not have much confidence in what is to happen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Related drafts for the first, second, and third scenes","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":253,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/44/05_02/p001","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":null,"book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Articles/GA044/English/Dweller_05.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/44/05_02/p001"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/44/05_02/p001","paragraph_aligned":true}],"unit_kind":{"kind":"second_piece_same_name","base_unit":"GA 44/05","note":"Another piece with the same name as 05 in this volume; the suffix only separates the two."},"authorship":{"kind":"dramatis_persona","is_steiner":true,"speaker":"FERDINAND REINECKE","author":"Rudolf Steiner","note":"A line from the drafts and fragments of Rudolf Steiner's Mystery Dramas.

So hieß es in der Schrift, die man uns gesandt. Es ist schon lange mir zu Ohren gekommen, welche Absicht der Geistesbund hat, der sich bisher so streng abgeschlossen gehalten von uns profanen Menschen, und jetzt die Zeit für gekommen erachtet, sich mit uns zusammenzufinden. Bis jetzt galten wir für unreif, auch nur das Geringste von dem zu erfahren, was er für seine Geheimnisse ansieht. Sie sollen die großen Rätselfragen lösen, welche des Menschen Herz und Seele quälen, und außerdem als die echten Fortschrittsimpulse in die Menschengeschichte eingreifen. Ich gehöre zu denjenigen, welche stets abgeneigt waren allem geheimnisvollen Streben in solchen Dingen. Ich halte mich an die gesunde Vernunft, die allen Menschen ohne vornehme esoterische Verbündung zugänglich ist, und im steten Fortschritt den Daseinsfragen Antwort bringt und dem Menschenstreben die Ziele weist. Bisher betrachtete jene Geistesbrüderschaft Menschen solcher Art nur wie Instinktwesen, die unbewußt durch die hohen Einsichten der Eingeweihten geleitet werden mußten. Sie scheint jetzt abgehen zu wollen von ihrer strengen Verschwiegenheit und Abgeschlossenheit. Doch werden wir doch aus besonderen Gründen nicht weiter dringen dürfen als in das, was sie die Vorhalle nennen. Nur damit keiner sagen kann, ich widerstrebe eigensinnig der dargebotenen Hand, bin ich erschienen.
