Such a human being returned as one endowed with knowledge—as one who could bear witness, through his own vision, to the victory of life over death. Those who could bear witness, in this way, were Initiates. Their etheric body had to be lifted out of the physical body, in order that they might experience the Christos in man. These Initiates were able to say to themselves: \"I have learned through my own experience that there is a part in man, which is eternal, which outlasts all incarnations. I know it, for I myself have experienced this eternal kernel of man's being\". In order to attain to this, they were obliged to dwell for three days in a state of profound, dream-like sleep.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Sin Against the Holy Ghost and the Ideal of Christian Grace","site_heading":null,"date":"1907-03-17","location":null,"word_count":181,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/97/1907-03-17/p025","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Christian Mystery","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA097/English/Singles/19070317p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.

Dann kam, was man die Auferweckung nannte, was dreieinhalb Tage und drei Nächte dauerte. Diese bestand darin, daß durch die Kunst des Tempelpriesters der Mensch für dreieinhalb Tage künstlich in einen todähnlichen Schlaf versetzt wurde. Während sonst im Schlaf physischer und Ätherleib verbunden bleiben, wurde dem Einzuweihenden für diese Zeit der Ätherleib durch die Kunst des initiierenden Priesters herausgehoben aus dem physischen Leibe, so daß nur eine lose Verbindung zwischen dem physischen Leib und den andern Leibern bestand. Es war ein tiefer Tranceschlaf. Das Ich des Menschen lebte während dieser Zeit in den höheren Welten. Da man dem Schüler ein Wissen von der höheren Welt gegeben hatte, kannte er sich dort aus. Der Priester leitete ihn. Erst mußte der Priester den Ätherleib von dem lethargischen physischen Leib befreien, um den Schüler in die geistigen Welten hinauszuführen.
