I. Inner Evolution and Outer Possibilities for Development

What I have now expressed will be proclaimed in the next two decades from this and that place, expressed in this or that form, because it is an extremely important truth, a truth that should prepare people for the most important events of our time. The times are fulfilled again, that the most significant is to happen. But in our time a materialism of most terrible kind lives, and it can happen that even those who hear and receive these teachings are tempted by the materialistic attitude and seduced by the materialistic attitude to the belief that Christ only appears again when he appears in a fleshly body. That would be a materialistic belief, only those can believe that who in truth have not risen to the contemplation that the spiritual is more real than the physical. Now, materialism could lead people into this temptation, to confuse the return of Christ in the real etheric body, visible to the higher developed abilities of people, with a carnal physical return. But if that were to happen, it would be another great misfortune for humanity. But there are enough individuals in our time, enough personalities, who will use this and who, either by falling victim to an illusion, to self-deception, or by falling victim to their own evil instincts, will present themselves as false Christs, as Christs in the flesh.
