It has existed since the fourteenth century, and it had to be introduced because mankind then needed a different form of training. Among the Initiates it was foreseen that a time would come when because of the gradual increase of knowledge men would be confused in matters of religious faith. Therefore a form of instruction had to be created for those who felt within themselves the discord between faith and knowledge. In the Middle Ages the most learned men were also those of the greatest faith and piety; and for a long time afterwards those who had made headway in scientific knowledge could not conceive of any contradictions between knowledge and faith. We are usually told that faith was shaken by the ideas of Copernicus, but that is quite wrong: after all, Copernicus dedicated his book to the Pope! It is only in quite recent times that this conflict has gradually developed. The Masters of Wisdom saw that this was bound to happen and that a new path would have to be found for those whose faith had been destroyed. For persons much occupied with science, the necessary path towards Initiation is the Rosicrucian, for the Rosicrucian method shows that the highest knowledge of mundane things is thoroughly compatible with the highest knowledge of spiritual truths. It is precisely through the Rosicrucian path that those who have been led away from Christian belief by what they take to be science can learn to understand Christianity truly for the first time. By this method anyone can come to a deeper grasp of the truth of Christianity. Truth is one, but it can be reached along different paths, just as at the foot of a mountain there are various paths, but they all meet at the summit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Sie besteht ungefähr seit dem 14. Jahrhundert, und zwar mußte sie damals eingeführt werden, weil die Menschheit noch eine andere Form der Schulung brauchte. In den Kreisen der Eingeweihten sah man voraus, daß Menschen kommen würden, die durch das sich allmählich entwickelnde Wissen im Glauben beirrt werden würden. Deshalb mußte eine Form geschaffen werden für diejenigen, die in den Zwiespalt von Glauben und Wissen geraten. Im Mittelalter waren die größten Gelehrten auch zugleich die gläubigsten und frömmsten Menschen; aber auch noch lange Zeit später war für die in der Naturwissenschaft Fortgeschrittenen durchaus kein Widerspruch denkbar zwischen Glauben und Wissen. Man sagt, durch das Kopernikanische System sei der Glaube erschüttert worden, aber durchaus unberechtigterweise, hatte doch Kopernikus sein Buch dem Papst gewidmet! Erst in der allerletzten Zeit ist dieser Zwiespalt nach und nach gekommen. Das sahen die Meister der Weisheit voraus, und daher mußte für diejenigen, die durch die Wissenschaft vom Glauben abgebracht worden waren, ein neuer Weg gefunden werden. Für diejenigen Menschen, die sich viel mit der Wissenschaft befassen, ist es nötig, diesen Rosenkreuzer-Weg zu gehen, um ein Eingeweihter zu werden, denn die Rosenkreuzer-Methode zeigt, daß das höchste Wissen des Weltlichen mit dem höchsten Wissen der übersinnlichen geistigen Wahrheiten durchaus zusammen bestehen kann; und gerade durch die Rosenkreuzer-Methode kann derjenige, der sonst durch eine scheinbare Wissenschaft vom christlichen Glauben abgefallen wäre, diesen erst recht erkennen. Jeder kann durch diese Methode die Wahrheit des Christentums erst recht und mit tieferem Verständnis verstehen. Die Wahrheit ist eine einzige, doch kann man zu ihr auf verschiedenen Wegen gelangen, geradeso wie die verschiedenen Wege am Fuße des Berges auseinandergehen, am Gipfel jedoch alle zusammenlaufen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":282,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/95/1906-09-04/p004"}],"english":["GA 95/1906-09-04/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":282,"en_words":307,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6670,"original_word_count":6215,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.H.
