As we have shown to be the case in the Germanic Scandinavian people, the ‘I’ was in primal ages still clairvoyantly shown to man from the spiritual world. It was shown that this ‘I’ was bestowed upon man by an Angelic Being, who stands between man and the Folk-soul, by Donar or Thor. We have seen that each single individual felt himself to be ‘I’-less, impersonal; to him the ‘I’ was a gift, presented to him from the spiritual world. Naturally in the East, when the ‘I’ actually awoke, they did not find it in that way. There man had already evolved subjectively to such a high stage of human perfection, that he did not feel the ‘I’ as something foreign to him, but as his own. When in the East man awoke to the ‘I’, Eastern culture had already proceeded so far, that it was capable of gradually developing that delicately spun speculation, logic and wisdom, which we have before us in the Eastern Wisdom.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture X","site_heading":"Folk-Souls and the Evolution of Individual Consciousness","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wir müssen sehen, wie in Europa das gesamte europäische Geistesleben zusammenwirkt, wie durch die Tätigkeit der verschiedenen Volksgeister ein Fortschritt der Menschheit bewirkt wird — aus uralten Zeiten heraus, durch unsere Gegenwart hindurch, in die Zukunft hinein. Jedes einzelne Volk, ja sogar alle einzelnen, kleineren Volkssplitter haben in diesem großen Gesamtgemälde ihre besondere Aufgabe, und aus dem, was gesagt worden ist, können Sie erkennen, daß, in gewisser Beziehung, gerade der vor- und nachchristlichen Kultur Europas die Aufgabe, die Mission zugefallen ist, das Ich durch die verschiedenen Stufen der menschlichen Wesenheit hindurch zu erziehen, es herauszubilden und nach und nach zu entwickeln. Es wurde ja in gewisser Beziehung dieses Ich in uralter Zeit noch aus der geistigen Welt heraus, wie wir dies am germanisch-nordischen Volke gezeigt haben, hellseherisch dem Menschen gezeigt. Es wurde gesagt, wie dieses Ich den Menschen verliehen wird von einem der Engelwesen, das sogar zwischen dem Menschen und der Volksseele mitten darinnen steht: von dem Donar oder Thor.
