The fact that an understanding is beginning to stir in the world is attested to by the fact that, with relatively large resources, a place for this science is now being built at one point in Switzerland, in Dornach near Basel. we call it a “College of Spiritual Science,” a place that is to be built more than for any other reason so that, in terms of style and artistry, we may have a building that also expresses in its outer forms what flows into the soul of divine spiritual life when it explores its true essence. The building already stands in its form, it only needs to be completed externally and internally, as a two-domed wooden structure, and it will express externally and artistically what spiritual science aims to achieve. A number of friends of spiritual science have joined forces to raise the not inconsiderable funds for this building. It would be desirable, however, that this building not be understood as described in a newspaper article that has just appeared in Paris and is circulating around the world, but rather that it be understood as a first site dedicated to the science of the spirit, the science of the divine origin of the soul, the science of the soul of true being, just as the spiritual researcher, according to his knowledge, must believe that this science is already longed for today by souls, by numerous souls who do not yet know it, but who nevertheless long for it, just as it must be longed for more and more and will be longed for in the future by the human soul. It is with a certain satisfaction that we can point to this outward symbol, the imposing building we have been able to erect, as evidence of the impression that spiritual science has already made on individual souls, even though misunderstanding after misunderstanding is still encountered today when this spiritual science is discussed.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Dass beginnt, ein Verständnis sich zu regen in der Welt, das bezeugt doch die Tatsache, dass mit verhältnismäßig großen Mitteln an einem Punkte der Schweiz, in Dornach bei Basel, nun dieser Wissenschaft schon eine Stätte, wir nennen sie eine «Hochschule für Geisteswissenschaft», erbaut werden kann, eine Stätte, die mehr als aus irgendeinem anderen Grunde erbaut werden soll, damit man auch in Bezug auf den Stil, das Künstlerische, einmal einen Bau habe, der auch in seinen äußeren Formen dasjenige ausdrückt, was in die Seele von göttlich-geistigem Leben hineinfließt, wenn sie ihre wahre Wesenheit ergründet. Er steht schon in seiner Form da, der Bau, muss nur äußerlich und innen vollendet werden, als ein zweikuppeliger Holzbau, und er wird äußerlich, künstlerisch zum Ausdruck bringen das, was Geisteswissenschaft will. Eine Anzahl von Freunden der Geisteswissenschaft hat sich zusammengetan, um die immerhin nicht ganz geringen Mittel zu diesem Bau aufzubringen. Wünschenswert wäre es nur, dass man diesen Bau nicht so verstehen würde, wie es ein eben in Paris erschienener Zeitungsartikel, der durch alle Welt geht, schildert, sondern dass er verstanden werde als eine erste Stätte, die der Wissenschaft des Geistes, der Wissenschaft von dem göttlichen Ursprung der Seele, der Wissenschaft von der Seele wahrer Wesenheit, gewidmet wird, so wie der Geistesforscher nach seiner Erkenntnis glauben muss, dass diese Wissenschaft heute schon ersehnt wird von den Seelen, von zahlreichen Seelen, die es noch nicht wissen, die sie aber doch ersehnen, so wie es immer mehr und mehr ersehnt werden muss und ersehnt werden wird in der Zukunft von der Menschenseele. Man darf mit einer gewissen Befriedigung auch auf dieses äußere Wahrzeichen, den imposanten Bau, den wir aufrichten durften, hinweisen für den Eindruck, der doch durch die Geisteswissenschaft schon auf einzelne Seelen hat gemacht werden können, wenn man auch heute noch Missverständnis auf Missverständnis begegnet, wenn man von dieser Geisteswissenschaft redet.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":361,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1914-05-08/p035"}],"english":["GA 69d/1914-05-08/p035"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":361,"en_words":377,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10124,"original_word_count":9939,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Death and Immortality in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069d/English/SOL2024/19140508p01.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.
