You gave them knowledge in an instant, when the good gods could only give them love. Since that time, there has been a struggle between you, and your battlefield is the earth. But already, the downfall of your kingdom is imminent. A bold thinker has opened the spirit to man through science. Knowledge can be taken from your power and led to the good gods. But you want to secure it for yourself. You want to give love to Theodora, John, the founder of knowledge, which is to fight the light of man, just as your light once fought the love of the gods. But know that in the depths of my being, a divine vow to the existence of the heart has risen up. Mary, who now stands before you, will find the strength to close her soul's eye forever to all knowledge of the earth. She will take in only what is granted to her by grace from the heights of the gods, without earthly striving. Thus, that which is permeated by your spirit on earth will never be able to approach her. And that which is then revealed to me through grace will flow as love for Johannes. And if he ever turns his gaze to earthly things and hears your tempting words in them, then what I was allowed to give him will reach you. You will often speak to him: Your human nature will flourish in love; and your heart will live selfhood. But he will one day answer you: I will live the love that God lived by dying for earthly existence; I will live the selfhood that I do not feel through myself, that I feel because he reveals himself in me.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Third Act, partly prose","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":309,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/44/06_02/p031","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_06.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/44/06_02/p031"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/44/06_02/p031","paragraph_aligned":true}],"unit_kind":{"kind":"second_piece_same_name","base_unit":"GA 44/06","note":"Another piece with the same name as 06 in this volume; the suffix only separates the two."},"authorship":{"kind":"dramatis_persona","is_steiner":true,"speaker":"MARY","author":"Rudolf Steiner","note":"A line from the drafts and fragments of Rudolf Steiner's Mystery Dramas.

Erkenntnis hast du ihnen in einem Augenblicke gegeben, da die guten Götter ihnen nur Liebe geben konnten. Seit jener Zeit ist Kampf zwischen euch, und euer Kampfesfeld ist die Erde. Schon aber droht der Untergang deinem Reiche. Ein kühner Denker hat dem Menschen den Geist durch Wissenschaft erschlossen. Erkenntnis kann deiner Macht entnommen und zu den guten Göttern geführt werden. Du aber willst sie dir sichern. Du willst in Theodora, Johannes, dem Wissensgründer, Liebe geben, die so das Menschenlicht bekämpfen soll, wie einst dein Licht die Götterliebe bekämpfte. Doch wisse, in meines Wesens Tiefen hat ein göttlich Gelöbnis zu Herzensdasein sich empor-gerungen, Maria, die jetzt vor dir steht, wird die Kraft finden, ihr Seelenauge für immer allem Erkennen der Erde zu verschließen. Sie wird in sich nur aufnehmen, was ihr ohne irdisches Streben aus Götterhöhen ins Wesen durch Gnade gewährt wird. So wird ihr niemals nahen können, was auf Erden von deinem Geist durchsetzt ist. Und was mir selbst dann durch Gnade sich offenbaret; es wird als Liebe zu Johannes fließen. Und wenn er je den Blick auf Erdendinge lenkt, und in ihnen dein Versucherwort vernimmt, dann wird, was ich ihm geben durfte, zu dir dringen. Du wirst oft zu ihm sprechen: Dein Menschenwesen wird in Liebe gedeihen; und Dein Herz wird Selbstheit leben. Er aber wird dir dereinst antworten: Ich werde die Liebe leben, die der Gott für Erdensein sterbend lebte; ich werde die Selbstheit leben, die ich nicht durch mich erfühle, die ich fühle, weil er in mir sich offenbart.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":268,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/44/06_02/p032"}],"english":["GA 44/06_02/p031"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":268,"en_words":309,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2605,"original_word_count":2474,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","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_06.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 44/06_02/p032"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
