One learns that there are realities pertaining to higher worlds, that besides our world of the senses, there are soul-spiritual things, and that religious revelations are not concerned with the sense world but present facts of a higher world. Those who have gotten to know the realities of the astral world which lies behind our sense world, and of the devachanic (or mental world) which lies even deeper, will come to a new and higher understanding of religious sources. It is impossible to understand the John Gospel without rising to such higher worlds. The John Gospel is not a poetic work, nor a writing arising from mere religious fervour, but sets forth revelations from higher worlds that the writer of the gospel has received. It is something like this—I will briefly describe it. The supporting evidence I will not deal with today; perhaps I can go into it next time. The writer of the John Gospel learned, through experience in higher worlds, what took place at “the beginning of our era“ that related to the life of the founder of Christianity, and his acts.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"John's Gospel as Initiation into Higher Worlds","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.

Wer dann diese Tatsachen der unmittelbar hinter unserer Welt liegenden astralen und der noch tiefer liegenden devachanischen oder mentalen Welt kennenlernt, der kommt dann wieder zu einem neuen, höheren Verständnis der religiösen Urkunden. Und es ist unmöglich, das Johannes-Evangelium ohne eine solche Erhebung zu einer höheren Welt zu verstehen. Nicht eine Dichtung, nicht eine aus bloß religiöser Inbrunst hervorgegangene Schrift ist das Johannes-Evangelium, sondern es stellt dar Mitteilungen aus höheren Welten, die der Schreiber dieses Evangeliums empfangen hat. Die Sache liegt ungefähr so - ich will Ihnen den Tatbestand kurz schildern. Was dafür als Beweis vorzubringen ist, will ich heute nicht heranziehen. Vielleicht werde ich mich das nächste Mal darauf einlassen. Derjenige, welcher das Johannes-Evangelium geschrieben hat, lernte die Tatsachen, die sich zu Beginn unserer Zeitrechnung um den Stifter des Christentums abspielten, und dessen Wirken durch sein Erleben in höheren Welten kennen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":196,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p009"}],"english":["GA 94/1906-02-19/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":196,"en_words":191,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.96,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4768,"original_word_count":4981,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"UNK1980","book_title":"The Gospel of St. John","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA094/English/UNK1980/19060219p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
