We shall best be able to understand what it is all about if we call to mind a symbol of certain Freemasonry associations, a symbol misunderstood today in the coarsest way imaginable. It is a symbol taken from sexual life. It is absolutely true that precisely one of the deepest secrets of Freemasonry has a symbol taken from sexual life; and that many people who try to explain such symbols today are only following their own sordid fantasies when they understand these symbols in an impure sense. It is very likely that the interpretation of these sexual symbols will play no small role in times to come, that it is precisely this which will then reveal the parlous state into which the great ancient secrets of Freemasonry have fallen today; and on the other hand, how necessary it is in the present time for the pure, noble and profound basis of the Freemasonry, symbols to be kept sacred and unblemished.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Wir kommen am leichtesten dazu, zu erkennen, was der Sage zugrunde liegt, wenn wir uns vergegenwärtigen ein Symbol gewisser freimaurerischer Vereinigungen, das in denkbar plumpster Weise heute mißverstanden wird. Es ist ein Symbol, das aus dem Geschlechtsleben entnommen ist. Es ist durchaus wahr, daß gerade dasjenige, was zu den tiefsten Geheimnissen der Freimaurerei gehört, aus dem Geschlechtsleben hergenommene Symbole hat, und daß viele, die heute solche Symbole zu deuten versuchen, nur ihrer eigenen schmutzigen Phantasie folgen, wenn sie diese Symbole in geistig unreinem Sinne auffassen. Es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, daß die Ausdeutung dieser Geschlechtssymbole in nächster Zeit keine geringe Rolle spielen wird, und daß gerade dies in nächster Zeit zeigen wird, wie schlimm es den alten freimaurerischen, großen Geheimnissen in der heutigen Zeit ergeht, und auf der anderen Seite, wie notwendig es in dieser heutigen Zeit ist, die reine, edle und tiefe Grundlage der freimaurerischen Symbole hehr und unangetastet zu erhalten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":172,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1906-01-02/p033"}],"english":["GA 93/1906-01-02/p033"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":172,"en_words":180,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.23,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":13461,"original_word_count":10911,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"John M.
