What appears to us in Michelangelo's Sibyls and Prophets represents the two poles: On the one hand, the tendency of the ego to fall into disorder, on the other hand, the Jewish prophetic search to bring the ego forces into order. Human nature was seething around the actual awareness of the ego, which was to occur at that time. If the danger had not been averted, dark prophetic and Sibylline forces would today be chaotically mixed up in our ego. A real clarity of the ego could not have existed in the development of the following centuries. Then the incarnation of Christ in Jesus of Nazareth fell into this ferment and brought about the harmonization of human nature for the fourth time. This could only happen because the Christ-being embodied itself in a human being who, in the highest sense, had brought all the abilities that came to man at that time to development within himself.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Was uns bei Michelangelo in den Sibyllen und Propheten erscheint, es stellt die beiden Pole dar: Auf der einen Seite die Tendenz des Ich, in Unordnung zu kommen, auf der anderen Seite das Suchen des jüdischen Prophetentums, die Ich-Kräfte in Ordnung zu bringen. Es gärte in der menschlichen Natur um das eigentliche Bewußtwerden des Ich, das dazumal eintreten sollte, und wäre die Gefahr nicht abgewiesen worden, so würden heute in unserem Ich chaotisch durcheinandergehen dunkle prophetische Kräfte und dunkle Sibyllenkräfte. Eine wirkliche Klarheit des Ich hätte es nicht geben können in der Entwickelung der folgenden Jahrhunderte. Da fiel die Inkarnation des Christus in dem Jesus von Nazareth in diese Gärung hinein und bewirkte zum vierten Male die Harmonisierung der menschlichen Natur.
