From the present developmental level again the experiences of the future human beings develop. If we look back at the human states of consciousness, you realise that you are prejudiced if you believe that the whole soul condition, the way of thinking, the way how he forms ideas and concepts of his environment, that the states of the human consciousness are almost the same at all times. That is not the case. Indeed, one applies the word development to the transformation of the outer forms, but seldom to the human soul life, and just concerning the human soul life, is the concept of development something that points us deeply to the most important questions of humanity.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Diese Frage muß man aufwerfen. Denn es könnte der Einwand gemacht werden, es könne Menschen geben, die sich aus gewissen Sehnsüchten heraus für solche Dinge interessieren, aber das seien Eigenbrötler, die lieber in ihren Stuben nachdenken, aber mit den großen Vorgängen in der Menschheitskultur nichts zu tun hätten. - Man kann das nicht mehr sagen, wenn man den Gang der Menschheitsentwicklung so mit Verständnis überblickt, daß gerade der Zeitpunkt, in dem wir jetzt leben, seinem Wesen nach vor unsere Seele tritt. Dieser Zeitpunkt, in dem wir leben, hat sich ja herausentwickelt aus dem, was die Menschheit in der Vorzeit durchlebt hat bis in unsere Tage hinein. Und aus der gegenwärtigen Entwicklungstufe werden sich wiederum die Erlebnisse der Menschen der Zukunft herausentwickeln. Blicken wir zurück in die vorzeitliche menschliche Entwicklung, so zeigt sich, daß man einem gewaltigen Vorurteil unterliegt, wenn man glaubt, daß die ganze menschliche Seelenverfassung, die Art, wie der Mensch denkt, wie er sich Ideen und Begriffe macht über die Umwelt, die ganzen menschlichen Bewußtseinszustände in allen Zeiten ungefähr die gleichen seien. Davon kann nicht die Rede sein. Das Wort Entwicklung wendet man zwar auf die Umgestaltung der äußeren Formen an, aber selten auf das, was das menschliche Seelenleben selber ist, und gerade in bezug auf das menschliche Seelenleben ist der Entwicklungsbegriff etwas, was uns tief hinweist auf die wichtigsten Fragen der Menschheit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":241,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69a/1911-02-24/p012"}],"english":["GA 69a/1911-02-24/p013","GA 69a/1911-02-24/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":241,"en_words":229,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.9,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5626,"original_word_count":6282,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2017","book_title":"Truths and Errors in Spiritual Research","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069a/English/eLib2017/19110224p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
