Thomasius came to the work that is now to bring such tremendous light in a strange way. At the beginning of his present earthly life, he was not devoted to science. As a creative artist, he wanted to reveal his soul. Through a spiritual current deeply related to that which now wants to raise its voice for him, he was led to a work that, free of prejudice, like a miracle. I saw him at work on pieces that dismayed me, because at that time I could not gauge the sources from which his talent had been bestowed upon him. For him, however, all this was only a preliminary stage. He needed the inner strength that artistic sensibility bestows in order to achieve greater things. He left art behind and immersed himself in the study of nature, so that after ardent effort, everything that humanity has so far achieved in terms of insight into the secrets of nature was revealed to him. In his soul, artistic skill married with knowledge, and the deed was born that is now to flow like a mighty stream of spiritual power into human souls. Is not the effect of Thomasius' deed already prefigured in his life? It comes from deeply mysterious sources: must it not also find its way to the people from whom it itself originated through the power of those sources?","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":248,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/44/05_02/p013","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/p013"},{"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/p013","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":"DOCTOR STRADER","author":"Rudolf Steiner","note":"A line from the drafts and fragments of Rudolf Steiner's Mystery Dramas.

Thomasius ist auf sonderbare Art zu dem Werke gekommen, das jetzt so gewaltiges Licht bringen soll. Er war im Beginne seines gegenwärtgen Erdenlebens nicht der Wissenschaft ergeben. Er hatte als schaffender Künstler seine Seele offenbaren wollen. Durch eine Geistesströmung, die tief verwandt sich jener fühlt, welche jetzt ihre Stimme für ihn erheben will, wurde er zu einem Schaffen geführt, das dem Vorurteils-losen wie ein Wunder nur erscheinen konnte. Ich konnte ihn an Werken sehen, die mich bestürzten, weil ich damals nicht ermessen konnte, aus welchen Quellen ihm sein Können geschenkt ward. Für ihn jedoch war dies alles Vorstufe nur. Er brauchte die innere Kraft, die Künstlersinn verleiht, zu höherer Leistung. Er verließ die Kunst und vertiefte sich in Naturerkenntnis, so daß ihm nach heißem Bemühn sich alles erschloß, was die Menschheit an Einsicht in Naturgeheimnisse bis-her errungen hat. In seiner Seele vermählte sich künstlerisches Können mit Erkenntnis, und es wurde die Tat geboren, die jetzt wie ein gewaltiger Strom geistiger Kraft in Menschenseelen fließen soll. Ist in diesem Leben des Thomasius nicht schon vorgebildet, wie seine Tat wirken muß.
