Egyptian art was great in its spiritual concepts but not in the form it took at the physical level. The whole of Greek art consisted in bringing the human being down to the physical level. Roman law also brought humanity down to the physical level. The cult of Dionysus was connected with all this. The representative of wine was actually shown as a god. The story of the marriage in Cana shows the introduction of wine into human evolution in sublime fashion. The true purpose was to show that water is greater than wine. It was transformed into wine because humanity had to be taken down to the physical level.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Das römische Recht ist ebenfalls etwas, was den Menschen auf den physischen Plan herunterführt. Mit alldem steht der Dionysos-Dienst in Zusammenhang. Der Repräsentant des Weines wird sogar als Gott dargestellt. In einer erhabenen Form ist die Einführung des Weines in die Menschheitsentwickelung dargestellt in der Erzählung von der Hochzeit zu Kana in Galiläa. Es handelt sich in Wahrheit darum, zu zeigen, daß das Wasser höhersteht als der Wein. Weil der Mensch heruntergeführt werden sollte auf den physischen Plan, deshalb wurde das Wasser in Wein verwandelt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":130,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/97/1906-02-12/p015"}],"english":["GA 97/1906-02-12/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":130,"en_words":127,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.14,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2352,"original_word_count":2056,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Anna Meuss","identified_edition":"CMP2000","book_title":"The Christian Mystery","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA097/English/CMP2000/19060212p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 97/1906-02-12/p015"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
