And as spiritual science penetrates into what is eternal in human beings and can only be grasped through imaginative, inspired, intuitive consciousness, spiritual science also penetrates into what can pulsate in human life under the light, under the sun of freedom. Today it is still quite paradoxical when, in order to describe reality, one finds oneself saying that sleep and dream impulses pulsate in history, in social life, in moral life, in legal life, in the life of freedom, and that what pulsates there can only be found through spiritual science. But I must mention again and again: what spiritual science must bring into the world as a paradox for the present time can be compared to the paradox that Copernicus brought into the world when people believed that the earth stood still and the sun and stars moved around it. He replaced this with the opposite. It was not until 1822 that a certain church allowed people to believe in Copernicanism! Now, how long it will take before the scholars and so-called educated people of today will allow or no longer be ashamed, as if it were a superstition, to accept that spiritual science explains life, expands it to concepts that correspond to reality, and leads to fruitful concepts, remains to be seen. But the signs of the times speak so strongly that one would wish it could happen very, very soon! But enlightened, outstanding minds have always seen what is true, even if only in individual flashes of inspiration. Spiritual science is actually nothing new in this respect. It merely summarizes systematically and through realistic observation what the flashes of inspiration of the most outstanding personalities of humanity have always been about.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Aber ich muß immer wiederum erwähnen: Dasjenige, was Geisteswissenschaft für die heutige Zeit als ein Paradoxon in die Welt bringen muß, das läßt sich eben zusammenstellen mit dem Paradoxon, das Kopernikus in die Welt brachte, als die Menschen geglaubt haben, die Erde stehe still, die Sonne und die Sterne bewegen sich um sie herum. Er hat das Entgegengesetzte an die Stelle gesetzt. 1822 erst hat eine gewisse Kirche erlaubt, daß einer an den Kopernikanismus glauben dürfe! Nun, wie lange es dauern wird, bis die Gelehrten und die sogenannten Gebildeten der heutigen Zeit erlauben werden oder sich nicht mehr schämen werden wie eines Aberglaubens, anzunehmen, daß Geisteswissenschaft das Leben erklärt, erweitert zu wirklichkeitsgemäßen Begriffen, daß sie zu fruchttragenden Begriffen führt, das muß abgewartet werden. Aber die Zeichen der Zeit sprechen so stark, daß man den Wunsch haben möchte, es könne recht, recht bald geschehen! Aber erleuchtete, hervorragende Geister haben ja immer, wenn auch nur in einzelnen Geistesblitzen, dasjenige geschaut, was die Wahrheit ist. Geisteswissenschaft ist insoferne eigentlich nichts Neues. Sie faßt nur systematisch und durch wirklichkeitsgemäßes Schauen zusammen, worauf die Geistesblitze der hervorragendsten Persönlichkeiten der Menschheit immer gegangen sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":238,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/72/1917-11-30/p094"}],"english":["GA 72/1917-11-30/p086"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":398,"en_words":399,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 72/1917-11-30/p093","GA 72/1917-11-30/p094"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11007,"original_word_count":10852,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2017","book_title":"Freedom, Immortality and Social Life","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA072/English/eLib2017/19171130p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 72/1917-11-30/p093","GA 72/1917-11-30/p094"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
