For that which by earlier events has been thrust down to a lower condition is raised up once more through special events in the course of human development. On another occasion a particularly important uplifting took place in the evolution of humanity, one which exoterically will always be incomprehensible; for this reason people have really ceased to reflect upon, it, but esoterically it can be fully explained. There were some who had developed very quickly from the strata of the Western population, who had gradually wrestled their way up from the lowest rungs of the ladder, but who had not risen very high in intellectual development, but had remained comparatively humble and simple men, chosen ones as it were, who could only be uplifted at a certain time by a mighty impulse which reflected itself in them; these were those who are described as the twelve Apostles of Jesus. They were the cast-off extract of the lower castes which did not reach India. From them had to be taken the substance for the disciples of Christ Jesus. [We are not here referring to previous or succeeding incarnations of the individualities of the Apostles, but solely to the physical ancestry of the bodies in which the personalities of the Apostles were incarnated.

An einer anderen Stelle ist schon einmal ein ganz besonderes Heraufholen geschehen, ein Heraufholen, das exoterisch immer unbegreiflich bleiben wird. Daher haben die Menschen in Wahrheit es eigentlich auch aufgegeben, darüber nachzudenken. Esoterisch kann dasselbe aber durchaus seine Aufklärung finden. Diejenigen, welche sich am schnellsten hinaufentwickelt haben aus jenen Schichten der westlichen Bevölkerung, die überwunden haben nach und nach den Durchgang durch die untersten Schichten, aber nicht sehr weit in der intellektuellen Entwickelung hinaufgekommen sind, sondern verhältnismäßig schlichte und einfache Menschen geblieben sind — gleichsam die Auserlesensten davon, die nur durch einen kräftigen Impuls, der sich in ihnen spiegelte, hinaufgehoben werden konnten zu bestimmter Zeit, das waren diejenigen, welche uns als die zwölf Apostel des Jesus geschildert sind. Das war der verschlagene Extrakt der unteren Kasten, die nicht nach Indien gekommen sind. Aus ihnen mußte die Substanz für die Jünger des Christus- Jesus genommen werden. — Damit soll nichts gesagt sein über vorhergehende oder nachfolgende Inkarnationen der Apostel-Individualitäten, sondern lediglich über die physische Vorfahrenschaft derjenigen Körper, in welchen die Apostel-Persönlichkeiten inkarniert waren.
