But this anthroposophical movement will be connected with what humanity will have to pursue in the future as its most important concerns. We must often remind ourselves of that simile that I have often used. The very clever people in the world think, “Oh, those anthroposophists; that is only a sect with all kinds of fantastic stuff, with all kinds of foolishness in their heads. The educated part of humanity need not bother itself with that.” This “educated part of humanity” thinks today about this sub-earthly, sectarian assembly among anthroposophists and theosophists in the same way, although modified by time, that the Romans, the distinguished Romans, felt when Christianity was spreading. The difference is that at that time the Christians had to be physically down below in catacombs; up above those things went on that were regarded by the distinguished Romans as the only right, while the dreaming Christians were down below. In a couple of centuries this was different. Romanism was swept away, and what had been down in the catacombs came up. What had ruled civilization was cast out.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Mystery of the Double: Geographic Medicine","site_heading":"Geographic Medicine and the Ahrimanic Double in Human Nature","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Damals mußten nur die Christen wirklich physisch in den Katakomben unten sein, und oben spielten sich diejenigen Dinge ab, welche von den vornehmen Römern als das einzig Richtige angesehen wurden, während die phantastischen Christen unten waren. — Nach ein paar Jahrhunderten war das anders.
