These experiences illustrate the situation I have been describing. These Christian saints describe the temptations and deceptions that came to them when, having shut out all outer perception, they sank into their own inmost nature. Their descriptions are entirely in keeping with the truth, and it is therefore highly instructive to study the biographies of saints from this point of view and to see how man is normally diverted from awareness of the forces operating in his passions, emotions, impulses, urges and the like, because in ordinary life he immediately directs his attention to the external world.—We can therefore say: When a man descends into his own inner nature, he is as it were compressed into his Egohood, entrapped in his Egohood, concentrated with all intensity in that point at which his only desire is to he an Ego, to satisfy his own wishes and cravings; the evil that is in him then endeavours to lay hold of his Ego, Such are the conditions prevailing during this experience.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Christ's Dual Initiation: Descent and Cosmic Expansion","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.

Es sei darauf aufmerksam gemacht, daß es dasselbe ist wie das, worauf wir hier hinweisen wollen, und daß diese christlichen Heiligen durch das Ausschließen der Wahrnehmung nach außen und das Hinabsteigen nach innen uns beschreiben, von welchen Versuchungen und Verführungen sie ergriffen worden sind. Die darin gegebenen Schilderungen entsprechen durchaus der Wahrheit. Daher ist es eigentlich im Grunde ungeheuer belehrend, die Biographien der Heiligen von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus zu studieren, zu sehen, wie die Leidenschaften, Emotionen, Triebe und alles, was in dem Menschen sitzt, arbeiten, und wovon der Mensch abgelenkt wird, wenn er im normalen Leben den Blick auf die Außenwelt richtet. So können wir sagen: Es wird beim Hinuntersteigen in das eigene Innere der Mensch gleichsam auf seine Ichheit zusammenkomprimiert, ganz in seine Ichheit verstrickt, in jenen Punkt intensiv zusammengedrängt, wo er nichts anderes sein will als ein Ich, wo er gar nichts anderes mag, als seine eigenen Wünsche und Begierden zu befriedigen, wo gerade das Schlechte, das im Menschen ist, sein Ich ergreifen will.
