In the earliest Christian centuries we still see those human beings who were capable of it, having at least a few glimpses of what was flowing to them with the content of Intelligence as revelations from beyond the earth. This went on even into the 8th or 9th century A.D. Then came the great moment of decision. It came in such a way that Michael and those who belonged to him, no matter whether incarnate or discarnate, must say to themselves: “Men upon earth are beginning to become intelligent themselves—beginning to bring forth their own power of understanding from within them. The Cosmic Intelligence can no longer be administered by Michael.” Michael felt that the dominion over the Cosmic Intelligence was passing from him—falling from his grasp. While down below—looking down on to the earth—they saw this new age of Intelligence, beginning from the 8th or 9th century onwards. Men were beginning to form their own thoughts for themselves.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VII.

Dann kam die Entscheidung so, daß sich ja Michael und die Seinigen, gleichgültig ob sie nun verkörpert oder entkörpert waren, sagen mußten: Die Menschen auf der Erde beginnen intelligent zu werden, den eigenen Verstand aus sich herauszubringen; aber die kosmische Intelligenz kann nicht mehr von Michael verwaltet werden. Michael spürte, wie ihm die Herrschaft über die kosmische Intelligenz entschwand. Und unten, wenn man auf die Erde hinsah, da sah man, wie vom 8., 9.
