Thinking, feeling and willing were threatened with disorder through the entrance of selfishness. What would have been the result of this? Well, the human being would have intended this or that, and followed this or that impulse of will, while his thinking would have impelled him in quite a different direction, and his feeling in still another. It was necessary for human evolution that thinking, feeling and willing should become unselfish members of the united soul. Under the influence of Lucifer and Ahriman they could not have done this. Thought, feeling and will, becoming independently self-seeking, would have rent asunder the harmonious working of the Christ. In consequence, toward the end of the Atlantean evolution, the third Christ event occurred. Once more the Christ Being ensouled Himself in an archangel, and the power thus generated in the spiritual world made possible the harmonization of thinking, feeling and willing. Truly, as the rays of the physical sun must act upon earth to prevent the withering of plant life, so must the Sun Spirit be reflected upon earth from supramundane spheres as I have just explained.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":197,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/152/1914-06-01/p016","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1914-06-01","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 152/1914-06-01/p013","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-06-01/p013"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":221,"en_words":197,"ratio":0.89,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Alle, die auf St. Georg mit dem Drachen oder auf Michael mit dem Drachen oder auf ähnliche Angelegenheiten hinblicken, sprechen in Wahrheit von dem dritten Christus-Ereignis. Und die Griechen, welche in ihrer wunderbaren Mythologie etwas geschaffen haben wie Nachbilder desjenigen, was sich am Ende der atlantischen Zeit in der geistigen Welt zugetragen hat, verehrten den Sonnengeist als den Harmonisator von Denken, Fühlen und Wollen in den Menschen. Du Sonnengeist — so sagten sich diejenigen Menschen in Griechenland, die etwas davon gewußt haben -, du hast dich in ätherischer Geistgestalt - denn so ist die Gestalt derer, die wir heute Archangeloi nennen — verseelt. Da hast du dasjenige, was sonst wild und unbeherrscht in der menschlichen Seele als Denken, Fühlen und Wollen durcheinanderrasen würde, zur Harmonie entfaltet auf deiner wunderbaren Leier, auf der du die Töne der menschlichen Seele harmonisch erklingen läßt! - Da wurde der Sonnengeist der Schutzgeist der im Menschen wild stürmenden Leidenschaften, wenn sie, wie es geschehen konnte, auflebten in den wilden Dämpfen, die aus dem Innern der Erde aufsteigen, die durch die Erde brechen. Und wenn nun ein Mensch sich ihnen aussetzen würde und nur diese Dämpfe auf sich wirken ließe, er würde wild durcheinanderrasen haben in sich Denken, Fühlen und Wollen. So setzte der Grieche die Pythia über solche, die Leidenschaften von der Erde aus durch Luzifer und Ahriman in Unordnung bringenden Dämpfe, aber Apollo überleuchtete die Pythia, besiegte die Wildheit der Leidenschaften - und sie wurde zur Weissagerin. In dem Sonnengeist des Apollo empfand der Grieche den Christus des dritten Christus-Ereignisses. Und in dem Verhältnis dazu der die Leidenschaften beherrschenden Stimmung der Pythia, in diesem Schutz, den der Gott Apollo der Pythia angedeihen ließ, in ihm sah der Grieche die Wirkung des dritten Christus-Opfers: die Harmonisierung der in Unordnung kommenden menschlichen Leidenschaften durch das dritte Christus-Ereignis.
