This being, which was active in the Nathanic Jesus-child, had entered into physical embodiment for the first time in Jesus of Bethlehem. Before that it had taken part in the evolution of mankind from the spiritual world, but had never lived in a physical human body. It had lived through the times when the human shells were created, lived through the Saturn period, in which the germ of the physical body was laid, the sun and moon period, when the etheric and astral bodies were formed, and also lived through the smaller stages that repeated the great periods of time. But when the human ego descended into the three sheaths in the Lemurian period, this being had remained in the spiritual worlds as it were as a part of the divine human being and had not taken part in the development of the ego in the three sheaths and its seduction through the Luciferic-Ahrimanic influence. This part of the divine human being, this spiritual being, which remained in the spiritual worlds, descended into a physical body for the first time as the Nathanian boy Jesus in order to allow the Christ to permeate it. The baptism of St. John represents the permeation of Jesus by the Christ-Spirit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Als aber das Menschen-Ich in der lemurischen Zeit herabstieg in die drei Hüllen, da war dieses Wesen gleichsam als ein Teil des göttlichen Menschenseins zurückgeblieben in den geistigen Welten und hatte nicht mitgemacht die Entwickelung des Ich in den drei Hüllen und seine Verführung durch den luziferisch-ahrimanischen Einschlag. Dieser sich in den geistigen Welten zurückhaltende Teil des göttlichen Menschenwesens, dieses Geisteswesen ist zum ersten Male in einen physischen Leib herabgestiegen als nathanischer Jesusknabe, um als solcher sich von dem Christus durchleuchten zu lassen.
