The egoism which enters so deeply into the soul as in our present age is inseparable from the predominating materialism; a spiritual age will denote the overcoming of this egoism. Therefore Christianity and all movements imbued with genuine religious life have worked consciously towards breaking through all the old blood-ties. Christianity has made a radical statement in the words, “He who forsaketh not father, mother, wife, child, brother, sister cannot be my disciple.” This indicates nothing less than that in place of the ancient blood ties there must enter the spiritual bond between soul and soul, between one human being and another.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIII.

Derjenige Egoismus, der so tief in die Seele hineingeht wie in unserem jetzigen Zeitalter, hängt ganz zusammen mit der Ausprägung der materialistischen Gesinnung, und ein spirituelles Zeitalter wird die Überwindung dieses Egoismus bedeuten. Daher hat das Christentum und haben alle diejenigen Richtungen, die wirklich religiöses Leben hatten, bewußt hingearbeitet auf eine Durchbrechung der alten Blutsverbände; und einen radikalen Satz hat das Christentum hingestellt, der lautet: «Wer nicht verläßt Vater, Mutter, Weib, Kind, Bruder, Schwester, der kann nicht mein Jünger sein.» Das deutet auf nichts anderes hin, als daß treten muß an Stelle alter Blutsverbände das geistige Band zwischen Seele und Seele, zwischen Mensch und Mensch. Es fragt sich jetzt nur: Welches sind die Mittel und Wege, daß die Menschheit die Spiritualität, das heißt das Überwinden des Materialismus, und zu gleicher Zeit das, was man den Bruderbund nennen könnte, die Ausprägung der allgemeinen Menschenliebe, erlangt? Man könnte sich nun der Meinung hingeben, daß man nur recht gründlich die allgemeine Menschenliebe zu betonen brauchte, und daß dann diese Menschenliebe schon kommen müßte, oder man müßte Vereine gründen, die sich den Zweck der allgemeinen Menschenliebe zum Ziele setzen. Der Okkultismus ist niemals dieser Anschauung. Im Gegenteil! Je mehr der Mensch spricht von allgemeiner Bruderliebe und Menschlichkeit in dem Sinne, daß er sich daran berauscht, um so egoistischer werden die Menschen. Denn geradeso, wie es eine sinnliche Wollust gibt, gibt es eine Wollust der Seele; und es ist sogar eine raffinierte Wollust, zu sagen: Ich will sittlich höher und höher werden! Es ist im Grunde genommen ein Gedanke, der zwar nicht den gewöhnlichen alltäglichen Egoismus erzeugt, aber einen raffinierten Egoismus, der aus solcher Wollust entspringt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":285,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/99/1907-06-05/p008"}],"english":["GA 99/1907-06-05/p008","GA 99/1907-06-05/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":285,"en_words":287,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4976,"original_word_count":4748,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Mabel Cotterell and Dorothy S.
