Such teaching was naturally associated at that time with events in the Mysteries. It was not confined to the Schools of the Essenes, but only among them were pupils to be found who had actually passed through the forty-two stages of development, and who were able to perceive clairvoyantly the nature of the being who was to descend through forty-two stages. For knowledge of this being had to be given to the world. It was the mission of the Essenes to see that among a few at least there should be an understanding of what the Christ would be.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Stages of downward penetration of divine nature into a human individuality","site_heading":"Divine Descent and the Two Jesus Children","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.

Er hatte wenigstens einige wenige darauf vorzubereiten, daß mit dem Ablauf eines bestimmten Zeitpunktes, nämlich zweiundvierzig Generationen nach Abraham, das hebräische Volk sozusagen so weit sein würde, daß die Zarathustra-Individualität sich werde inkarnieren können in einem Sproß der Abraham-Linie, in einem Sproß der salomonischen Linie des Hauses David. Das ist vorausgelehrt worden. Dazu gehörte natürlich in der damaligen Zeit Mysterienerfahrung. In der damaligen Zeit wurde dies nicht nur in den Essäerschulen gelehrt, sondern es gab in den Essäerschulen auch solche Zöglinge, welche die zweiundvierzig Stufen auch wirklich durchmachten, so daß sie hellseherisch schauen konnten, wie jene Wesenheit war, die durch die zweiundvierzig Stufen heruntergestiegen ist.
