This indicates how in the spiritual scientific sense, human beings are connected with evolution. One person's interest lies in the realm of modern science, another's in the realm of human cultural development from the savage to the highly advanced individual who has attained insight into the spiritual world around him. The initiates always had insight into all the stages of human spiritual development. One spoke of the initiate as of someone who possessed greater knowledge than anyone else. Such initiates were mentioned in every epoch. Let us make it clear in what sense one spoke of those initiated into the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIII.

Alles Körperliche ist verdichtetes, verwandeltes Geistiges. Hinter allem Körperlichen steht das Geistige. Hier werden wir schon zu demjenigen geführt, was in bezug auf geisteswissenschaftliche Auffassung das Verhältnis des Menschen zur Entwicklung ist. Ebenso wie draußen in der tierischen Welt Vollkommenes und Unvollkommenes lebt, so leben in bezug auf das Geistige die verschiedensten Individualitäten: die einen fortgeschritten, die anderen zurückgeblieben, die einen hineinsehend in Gebiete, wohin die moderne Wissenschaft noch leuchtet, die anderen hineinsehend in die tiefsten Untergründe der menschlichen Erkenntnis, vom Wilden bis zu dem zur Göttlichkeit entwickelten Menschen, der befähigt ist, draußen in der Welt das Geistige um sich zu schauen. Alle diese Zwischenstufen glaubten nicht nur, sondern kannten diejenigen, welche Eingeweihte waren. Und wenn man von Eingeweihten sprach, so sprach man von ihnen als von solchen, die mehr wissen als die sie umgebende Menschheit. Immer hat man von solchen Eingeweihten gesprochen, und nun wollen wir uns einmal klarmachen, in welchem Sinne man von den in die geistigen Welten Eingeweihten gesprochen hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":201,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/55/1907-04-26/p017"}],"english":["GA 55/1907-04-26/p020","GA 55/1907-04-26/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":201,"en_words":185,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 55/1907-04-26/p017"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.88,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5697,"original_word_count":6439,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Rita Stebbing","identified_edition":"AP1987","book_title":"Supersensible Knowledge","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA055/English/AP1987/19070426p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
