In earlier times, the student knew that there was something higher behind what he received as teaching material in school and in the world of scholars, and that he himself might one day be able to access this higher knowledge. He knew that he was a link within a spiritual organism; today, in the democratic world, many concepts are adopted that do not lead to such insight. The top of the pyramid had to be added to the structure of external democratic knowledge, as it were. The elementary knowledge of the hidden forces in the world had now been given. The top, leading to a spiritual world view, was still missing. To provide this, a world-embracing movement had to be founded. The theosophical movement was conceived as such. Therefore, in certain brotherhoods, when the popularization of the previously hidden wisdom had gone on and on, it was decided to reveal to the world as much of the secrets behind it as was necessary to harmonize the knowledge of the outer world with the comprehensive occult knowledge of the brotherhoods.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XVII.

Er wusste, dass er ein Glied ist innerhalb eines geistigen Organismus; heute nimmt man in der demokratischen Welt viele Begriffe auf, die nicht zu solcher Einsicht führen. Es musste dem Bau des äußeren demokratischen Wissens gleichsam die Spitze der Pyramide hinzugefügt werden. Das elementare Wissen von den in der Welt verborgenen Kräften war nun gegeben worden. Es fehlte noch die zu einer geistigen Weltanschauung führende Spitze. Um diese zu geben, musste eine weltumfassende Bewegung begründet werden. Die theosophische Bewegung war als eine solche gedacht. Daher entschloss man sich in gewissen Brüderschaften, als die Popularisierung der bisher verborgenen Weistümer immer weiter und weiter vor sich gegangen war, der Welt so viel von den hinter ihr stehenden Geheimnissen mitzuteilen, als nötig war, um das Wissen der äußeren Welt mit dem umfassenden okkulten Wissen der Brüderschaften in Einklang zu bringen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":200,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/90b/1905-10-22/p023"}],"english":["GA 90b/1905-10-22/p023"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":200,"en_words":207,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8023,"original_word_count":7678,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge II","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA090b/English/SOL2024/19051022p01.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.
