Everything is different now from the way it was in the times our souls passed through in previous incarnations. And we have to understand the nature of our current task just as we understood what we had to do in our earlier incarnations when we were guided by spiritual luminaries. That is especially difficult now because we have to take into account not only the nature of our time but also our soul qualities. In addition, we can no longer rely on the external authority that supported the founders of religions; we have to work with quite different forces. Christ was the Word; in the same way true spiritual science wishes to work only through the word and must not use any other means.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Aber verstehen müssen wir, was wir zu tun haben, so wie wir verstanden haben, was zu tun war, indem wir in den früheren Inkarnationen unter den Leitungen der geistigen Leuchten wirkten. Wahrhaftig, schwierig ist es in unserer Zeit, weil wir auf das Wesen unserer Zeit, auf die Eigenschaften unserer Seelen Rücksicht nehmen müssen und weil uns nicht mehr jene äußere Autorität zu Hilfe kommen kann, die den Religionsstiftern zu Hilfe kam, und weil wir durch ganz andere Kräfte wirken müssen.
