Der Essäer sah also zurück auf das innere wesenhafte Gefüge der menschlichen Innenwesenheit, die ja ein Ergebnis war dieser göttlich-geistigen Wesenheit. Auf die Erkenntnis des menschlichen Inneren war es also bei einer solchen Einweihung abgesehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Achter Vortrag","site_heading":null,"date":"1910-09-08","location":null,"word_count":135,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-08/p005","alignment_confidence":null,"alignment_reason":null,"two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-08/p005"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/123/1910-09-08/p005","paragraph_aligned":true}],"translation_faults_against":[{"locus":"GA 123/1910-09-08/p006","lang":"en","edition":"English","translation":"rsarchive RSPC1946 edition (translator not named in the project's credits)","kinds":["reversal"],"note":"This sentence reverses the German.
