We should then see that when at times mention is made of the danger of a certain species of Luciferic being the speaker is not always aware of the whole extent of the kingdom in question. It may be right to speak of certain species of Luciferic beings in the sense of some ancient script, but we must at the same time take into consideration the fact that the reality is infinitely deeper than men can generally realise. At a time when both outward turning and inward turning contemplation were, in people of a certain period of culture, still very keen, man perceived that the outward path led to the realisation of ‘That thou art’ and that the inner path led to the realisation of ‘I am the All,’ that the outer and the inner path both led to the Ego as an unity. In that first post-Atlantean epoch of civilisation man was able to think and feel quite differently about what underlay the spiritual realms than was possible at a later time. It is on that account extraordinarily difficult for ordinary consciousness to transport itself into that wonderful post-Atlantean culture and to identify itself with a soul living at that time.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

In einer Zeit, in welcher der Blick nach außen und der Blick nach innen für die Angehörigen einer gewissen Kulturepoche noch sehr scharf war, empfand der Mensch dann, wenn er den Weg nach außen ging zu dem: Das bist du, und nach innen zu dem: Ich bin das All, daß der Weg nach außen und der Weg nach innen zu demselben, zu dem einheitlichen Ich führten. In dieser ersten Kulturepoche der nachatlantischen Zeit hat man allerdings über dasjenige vielfach anders denken, anders fühlen können, was den geistigen Reichen zugrunde lag, als später.
