The Development of Christianity in Present Humanity

In those in whom the consciousness soul was more strongly imprinted, or rather the image of it that lived as the consciousness soul of Jesus of Nazareth, there arose – because the I resides in the consciousness soul – the special realization that the Christ can be found in the I. And because they themselves had the element of the consciousness soul from the astral body of Jesus of Nazareth within them, the inner Christ shone within them. And through this astral body they recognized that the Christ within them was the Christ Himself. These were the ones you know as Meister Eckhart, John Tauler and all the bearers of medieval mysticism.
