What is put forward from this side is based on such a misunderstanding of the matter that it is difficult to deal with. Secret science has nothing to do with things that could come into conflict or collision with any existing religion, nor with anything that one might want to put in the place of a new religion. The subjects that have been the subject of all religions up to now are also the subjects of the supersensible, of secret science. Therefore, there are many points of contact between the two. Only one thing can give a true, deep understanding of what is given in religions, only one thing makes it possible to understand religions, and that is: to elevate what is faith in religion to knowledge. To be a servant of what religion seeks by other means is precisely the mission of esoteric science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Mission of Esoteric Science in Our Time","site_heading":null,"date":"1907-10-10","location":null,"word_count":181,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/56/1907-10-10/p019","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2015","book_title":"Knowledge of Soul and Spirit","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA056/English/eLib2015/19071010p01.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/56/1907-10-10/p019"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/56/1907-10-10/p019","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Was von dieser Seite vorgebracht wird, beruht auf einer solchen Verkennung der Sache, daß es schwer ist, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. Die Geheimwissenschaft hat nichts zu tun mit Dingen, die in irgendeinen Zwiespalt, in eine Kollision mit einer bestehenden Religion kommen könnten, auch nicht mit irgend etwas, was man an die Stelle einer neuen Religion setzen will. Diejenigen Gegenstände, die bis jetzt Gegenstand aller Religionen waren, sind auch die Gegenstände des Übersinnlichen, der Geheimwissenschaft. Daher gibt es manche Berührungspunkte zwischen beiden. Nur eines kann ein richtiges, tiefes Verständnis dessen geben, was in den Religionen gegeben wird, nur eines ermöglicht es, die Religionen zu verstehen, und das ist: das, was in der Religion Glaube ist, zum Wissen zu erheben. Diener dessen zu sein, was die Religion auf anderem Wege sucht, das gehört gerade zur Mission der Geheimwissenschaft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":167,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/56/1907-10-10/p019"}],"english":["GA 56/1907-10-10/p019"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":167,"en_words":181,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7733,"original_word_count":7554,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2015","book_title":"Knowledge of Soul and Spirit","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA056/English/eLib2015/19071010p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 56/1907-10-10/p019"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
