The knowledge we have taken in over the years, everything that has so far been said, is brought back to mind once more, for the more often we do this, the better it is. Knowledge should become a living power of intent. This means that some of the older members will hear some things again which they have heard before, perhaps in another context, and perhaps merely to refresh their memories. This is the way in which the theosophical view of the world was brought to life some decades ago. What was it before that? It was something we call secret or occult teaching, that is, something done in small groups by people specially admitted to them. In earlier times students were subjected to severe tests of their will intent, feeling and thinking before they were admitted to those closed groups, the esoteric or occult brotherhoods. The influence of those brotherhoods is something which in future will come from a larger group of people. More and more people will be called to have such an influence. A small group of the elect thus always had the influence which the theosophical movement is now to gain. Whether they were the disciples of Hermes or the pupils of the Eleusinian mysteries, occult schools in Egypt or Christian Gnostic schools, or the Rosicrucians in Europe—in every case, small, carefully defined brotherhoods were a major influence. Modern people with their intellectualized science know nothing, or practically nothing of this, but it is a fact that all cultivation of the mind and through this also all material civilization came from such brotherhoods.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Das Wissen, das wir im Laufe der Jahre aufgenommen haben, alles das, was in dieser Zeit schon gesagt worden ist, lassen wir nochmals durch die Seele ziehen, denn je öfter .man dies tut, desto besser ist es. Das Wissen soll sich in eine lebendige Kraft des Wollens verwandeln. Daher werden die älteren Mitglieder manches nochmals hören, was sie schon vernommen haben, vielleicht in einem anderen Zusammenhang, vielleicht auch nur zur Auffrischung des Gedächtnisses. Unter diesem Aspekt ist die theosophische Weltanschauung vor einigen Jahrzehnten ins Leben gerufen worden. Was war sie früher? Sie war das, was man eine Geheimlehre oder okkulte Lehre nennt, also etwas, was im engeren Kreise von besonders zugelassenen Menschen getrieben wird. Nach strengen Prüfungen des Wollens, Fühlens und Denkens wurden die Schüler in früheren Zeiten zu diesen geschlossenen Zirkeln, den esoterischen oder okkulten Bruderschaften, zugelassen. Von diesen Bruderschaften gingen jene Wirkungen aus, die in der Zukunft von einem größeren Kreise von Menschen ausgehen sollen. Immer mehr Menschen werden künftig aufgerufen, diese Wirkungen auszuüben. Ein kleiner Kreis von Auserlesenen, von Erwählten, übte die Wirkung immer aus, zu der die theosophische Bewegung befähigt werden soll. Ob es die Jünger des Hermes oder die Schüler der Eleusinien, die ägyptischen oder die christlich-gnostischen Geheimschulen oder in Europa die Rosenkreuzer waren, immer gingen von den engbegrenzten Bruderschaften gewaltige Wirkungen aus. Wenn auch der heutige Mensch in seiner verstandesmäßigen Wissenschaft nichts oder so gut wie nichts davon weiß, so ist es doch eine Tatsache, daß von solchen Bruderschaften alle Geisteskultur und durch diese wieder alle matetielle Kultur ausgegangen ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":276,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/96/1906-10-08/p008"}],"english":["GA 96/1906-10-08/p007"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":276,"en_words":292,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.15,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6420,"original_word_count":5599,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Anna Meuss","identified_edition":"CMP2001","book_title":"Original Impulses fo the Science of the Spirit","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA096/English/CMP2001/19061008p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"discrepancy","checked_against":["GA 96/1906-10-08/p008"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":["Christ"],"bead_confidence":"high","bead_length_ratio":1.06,"likely_cause":"unresolved","note":"NAME MISMATCH between this English passage and its German counterpart.
