What is dug up today as Chaldean astronomy, as Indian Brahmanic wisdom, as Egyptian wisdom, through these or those documents, through these or those monuments, is all a late product. All these things lead back to a wonderful, magnificent, powerful insight into the spiritual world, lead back to a magnificent, powerful scientific connection that people have seen through, between the earth and the whole cosmos, the whole world of stars. People in Europe today are not at all inclined to understand, even in retrospect, what was known in those ancient times, nor do they appreciate it, because, so to speak, they cannot do anything with it. They have no way of orienting themselves by these things.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Twelfth Lecture","site_heading":"Consciousness Evolution: Atlantean Divergence and Christian Incarnation","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.
