Thus, it may have become apparent to us from our reflection today that spiritual science, as we understand it, can be an instrument for an ever deeper knowledge of Christ. It is to be hoped that, even if humanity has come so far in the rejection of the old religious conceptions about the Christ through materialistic influences, the newer spiritual science will give the Christ to humanity again. For this spiritual science does not speak about the Christ out of theory, but in remembrance of the Christ-Word itself: “I am with you until the end of the days on earth!” For the Christ has been poured into the aura of the earth, in which we ourselves are embedded. He lives in it! And we can associate with him as a spiritual being in the aura of the earth if we acquire the ability to do so as the disciples once lived with Christ Jesus on the physical plane. We must only get used to really seeing through the living presence of Christ in the earth aura and not just identifying Christianity with a mere teaching, a mere doctrine. Since the Mystery of Golgotha, Christ has been there, is around us. We can find him in the same world in which we are, in which he is, only not in a physical form, but as a spiritual being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

So wird uns denn ersichtlich geworden sein aus unserer heutigen Betrachtung, daß Geisteswissenschaft, wie wir sie meinen, ein Instrument sein kann zu einer immer tieferen Christus-Erkenntnis. Zu hoffen steht, daß, wenn die Menschheit durch die materialistischen Einflüsse auch noch so weit kommen sollte in der Ablehnung der alten religiösen Vorstellungen über den Christus, die neuere Geisteswissenschaft den Christus der Menschheit wiederum geben wird. Denn diese Geisteswissenschaft spricht nicht aus Theorien heraus über den Christus, sondern eingedenk des Christus-Wortes selbst: Ich bin bei euch bis ans Ende der Erdentage! - Denn in die Erdenaura, in die wir selbst eingebettet sind, ist der Christus hineinergossen. Er lebt darinnen! Und wir können mit ihm als einem geistigen Wesen in der Erdenaura verkehren, wenn wir uns die Möglichkeit dazu aneignen, wie die Jünger einmal auf dem physischen Plan mit dem Christus Jesus gelebt haben. Wir müssen uns nur daran gewöhnen, die lebendige Anwesenheit des Christus in der Erdenaura wirklich zu durchschauen und das Christentum nicht nur zu identifizieren mit einer bloßen Lehre, einer bloßen Doktrin. Seit dem Mysterium von Golgatha ist der Christus da, ist um uns herum.
