Since this fact exists, those who want to remain in the traditional and the old - and you know how numerous they are, because I have always told you from time to time about the ugly attacks that come from that side — turn with particular virulence against the truth proclaimed from spiritual science that one has to do with a Cosmic Christ, with a Christ who is not merely earthly but cosmic. It is strange, but it is nevertheless the case that, for example, the Roman Catholic clergy and Jesuitism are most annoyed that spiritual science speaks of a Cosmic Christ. The fact is that a separation of the spirits is taking place today. And in the face of this, one should not close one's eyes; on the contrary, one should open one's eyes. In order to be able to set up everything that is to be set up for humanity, even in the smallest place where one stands, it is necessary today to have insight into the great circumstances of life.
