Herein we find the secret of how the great founders of religions projected their influence beyond their own time. The pictures which they gave the people released dispositional tendencies for the following incarnations. Every picture that they instilled into the soul reappeared in the entire feeling-world of the human being. Either he wins such Imaginations for himself, or he receives them from his teacher. We win them for ourselves when we have gained control over our entire life of feeling: this is the case with the occult pupil. His feelings are subject to his own control; the rest of humanity is cared for in this respect by the founders of religions. A religion is the feeling-world of future races; outwardly therefore it can be submerged, for it lives on in human tendencies. Today tendencies are coming to the surface which were implanted in mankind in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is important that the materialistic images of the present day do not take root in human hearts, for in future times they would fill human beings with the most brutal instincts which are only directed to the world of the senses, if they were not opposed by spiritual ideas. Those desires and wishes live in man which are produced out of imagination. This is his desire-nature = Sanskara. Everything intuitive in man, the great impulses which he receives from the highest initiates, these actually overcome the Karma of Deeds. He who raises himself to Intuitions as such, penetrates through the physical world up to the Father Spirit. He who possesses intuitive knowledge can affect the Karma arising out of deeds. He begins to limit his Karma consciously.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XVII","site_heading":"Actions, Words, and Thoughts: The Three Karmic Spheres","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Darin liegt das Geheimnis, wie die großen Religionsstifter über ihre Zeit hinaus gewirkt haben. Die Bilder, die sie den Menschen gegeben haben, haben Neigungen ausgelöst für folgende Inkarnationen. Jedes Bild, das sie in die Seele senken, tritt in der ganzen Gefühlswelt des Menschen hervor. Entweder erwirbt sich der Mensch selber solche Imaginationen, oder er bekommt sie von einem Führer. Selbst haben wir sie, wenn wir unser ganzes Gefühlsleben in die Hand genommen haben; das ist beim Geheimschüler der Fall. Er fühlt so, wie er es sich vornimmt; für die übrige Menschheit wird gesorgt durch die Religionsstifter. Eine Religion ist die Gefühlswelt künftiger Rassen; sie kann daher äußerlich untergehen, denn sie lebt in den Neigungen nach. Heute kommen die Neigungen heraus, die im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert der Menschheit eingepflanzt worden sind. Es ist wichtig, daß nicht die materialistischen Bilder der Gegenwart in den Menschenherzen Platz greifen, denn sie würden die Menschen in den zukünftigen Zeiten mit den brutalsten Neigungen ausstatten, die bloß auf die Sinnenwelt gerichtet sind, wenn es nicht wettgemacht wird durch geistige Vorstellungen. Diejenigen Begierden und Wünsche leben im Menschen, die aus der Imagination hervorgehen. Das ist sein Begehren = Samskara. Alles das, was intuitiv in den Menschen ist, die großen Impulse, die sie empfangen von den höchsten Eingeweihten, die sind eigentlich das, was das Tatsachenkarma überwindet. Wer sich zu den eigentlichen Intuitionen erhebt, der dringt durch die physische Welt zu dem Vatergeist empor. Wer intuitives Erkennen hat, kann auf das tatsächliche Karma wirken. Er fängt an, sein Karma bewußt einzuschränken.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":270,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93a/1905-10-12/p023"}],"english":["GA 93a/1905-10-12/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":270,"en_words":294,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3225,"original_word_count":2999,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Vera and Judith Compton-Burnett","identified_edition":"RSP1982","book_title":"Foundations of Esotericism","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA093a/English/RSP1982/19051012p01.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.
