In the East, where Krishna appeared, people were in a certain way ahead of their time in the period when the old clairvoyance was dying out. Indeed, there was something remarkable about the culture of ancient India. During the time immediately following the Atlantean age with the great cultural flowering of the first post-Atlantean epoch, the human soul still had the possibility of seeing into the spiritual world in the purest manner. In the case of the Rishis this faculty was accompanied by the wonderful ability to present what they had seen in such a way that it could influence later ages. Then when the clairvoyance disappeared, what they had given could be preserved in such significant revelations as those given out by Krishna; although the true clairvoyance already had been extinguished by the end of the third epoch. But what had been perceived in this earlier age was preserved in wonderful words through Krishna and his pupils, with the result that what at an earlier time had been seen could now be expressed in writing. So what happened further west, for example in Greece, never happened in India at all.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Christ's Inner Monologue and the Mystery of Golgotha","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.

Während in der unmittelbar nachatlantischen Zeit in Indien die erste große nachatlantische Kulturblüte auftritt und in der reinsten Weise - für die menschliche Seele reinsten Weise - ein Hineinschauen in die geistige Welt noch da war, das sich bei den Rishis verband mit einer wunderbaren Möglichkeit, das Geschaute darzustellen, so daß es auf die späteren Zeiträume wirken konnte, und dann, als das Hellsehen verschwand, in solchen bedeutenden Offenbarungen, wie es die Krishna-Offenbarung ist, aufbewahrt wurde für die späteren Zeiten, war das, was eigentliches Hellsehen war, am Ende des dritten Zeitraumes schon erloschen. Aber durch Krishna und seine Schüler waren die Tatsachen, die man schauen konnte, in wunderbare Worte gebracht und aufbewahrt, so daß man in der Schrift das hatte, was früher gesehen worden ist.
