Now they believe that history is something that people on earth have made. This gives rise to a strange state of mind, which I ask you to consider very carefully. If we were to look at such a soul in the present, we would say that this soul refuses to place itself in the historical life of humanity in reality; it says: I want to know nothing of the deeds of the archai, the archangels, the angels; I only want to know from external testimonies what people have done since those ancient times. But in this way such a soul cannot develop further; in reality such a soul remains at the point of view at which it stood in the old Egyptian times; it only has the maturity of a soul of the old Egyptian times, it does not allow itself to grasp reality. The angels, archangels and archai have developed further, they have done what could be experienced by humanity since then. Such a soul says: What the hierarchies have already done up there in the spiritual world, I will not get involved in that; I will only get involved in my own abilities. But the abilities are none other than those which she already had during the ancient Egyptian times.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Third Lecture","site_heading":"Sleep, Hierarchies, and Ahrimanic Materialism's Cosmic Consequences","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.

Jetzt geben sie sich dem Glauben hin, daß Geschichte etwas ist, was die Menschen auf der Erde gemacht haben. Da kommt eine merkwürdige Seelenverfassung zustande, die ich Sie bitte, ganz genau auf sich wirken zu lassen. Wenn wir auf eine solche Seele in der Gegenwart hinblicken würden, so würden wir sagen, diese Seele lehnt es ab, sich ins geschichtliche Leben der Menschheit in Wirklichkeit hineinzustellen, sie sagt: Ich will nichts wissen von den Taten der Archai, der Erzengel, der Engel; ich will nur aus äußeren Zeugnissen wissen, was die Menschen gemacht haben seit jenen alten Zeiten. - Aber dadurch kann sich eine solche Seele nicht weiterentwickeln, dadurch bleibt eine solche Seele in Wirklichkeit auf dem Standpunkte stehen, auf dem sie gestanden hat in der alten ägyptischen Zeit; sie hat nur die Reife einer Seele der alten ägyptischen Zeit, sie läßt sich nicht ein darauf, die Wirklichkeit zu ergreifen. Die Engel, Erzengel und Archai, sie haben sich weiterentwickelt, sie haben das gemacht, was von der Menschheit seither erlebt werden konnte.
