As long as man refuses to believe that in a certain locality and at a definite time Jesus of Nazareth was blessed with Divine initiation, and imbued with the spirit of The Christ in such manner that this Almighty influence could stream forth and act as an impulse upon all future generations—just so long will he remain unable to realize the true import and meaning of the Christ-Impulse in its relation to the evolution of mankind. When through the study of the basic principles of Spiritual Science the reality of great spiritual events such as we have portrayed is admitted, then will first dawn a true comprehension of all that has come to human evolution through the advent of the Christ-Impulse; and we shall no longer degrade the Gospels by discovering in them four separate rituals of initiation in which matters and circumstances concerning Jesus of Nazareth are hidden away and mysteriously concealed. When we come to understand these things rightly we shall realize that everything which followed as a result of the event in Palestine, held a deep significance for all later periods in human evolution.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Solange man nicht glaubt, daß an einem Punkte der Erde in einem bestimmten Zeitpunkte so etwas geschieht wie die Durchdringung, die Einweihung des Jesus von Nazareth mit dem Christus, und daß so etwas seine gewaltigen Kraftstrahlen aussendet und einen Impuls bildet für alles spätere Werden der Menschheit, solange begreift man nicht, was eigentlich der Christus-Impuls für die Menschheitsentwickelung zu bedeuten hat. Erst wenn man die Realität eines solchen geistigen Ereignisses, wie es jetzt geschildert worden ist, durch alle übrigen Vorbedingungen der Geisteswissenschaft zuzugeben vermag, kann man verstehen, was durch den Christus-Impuls in die Menschheitsentwickelung hineingekommen ist. Dann aber wird man auch die Evangelien nicht dadurch herabwürdigen, daß man in ihnen vier verschiedene Initiationsritualien findet, in welche nur hineingeheimnißt ist, was sich dann um die geschichtliche Person des Jesus von Nazareth abgespielt hat. Wenn man aber dies versteht, dann wird man auch begreifen, daß das, was durch dieses Ereignis in Palästina geschieht, eine tiefe, ursächliche Bedeutung hat für alle spätere Menschheitsentwickelung. Während bis dahin das, was wir den tiefinnersten Wesenskern nennen können, etwas war, was für die Menschen zwar vorhanden war, aber nicht so recht in das menschliche Bewußtsein hereingetreten war — das sollte gerade diesem Ereignisse unterliegen, das mit dem Mysterium von Golgatha geschildert worden ist -, sollte nun die Zeit beginnen, da die Menschen wissen konnten: In diesem Ich offenbart sich im Menschen das, was der Mensch mit dem gesamten Kosmos gemeinschaftlich hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":260,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/61/1912-01-25/p016"}],"english":["GA 61/1912-01-25/p035","GA 61/1912-01-25/p036"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":260,"en_words":315,"ratio":1.21,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 61/1912-01-25/p016"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.26,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10270,"original_word_count":8148,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Walter F.
