Von allen diesen Engeln, deren sieben an der Zahl sind, haben sechs sich zwar nicht ganz — am meisten Gabriel, auch er nicht ganz -, aber doch sechs verhältnismäßig sehr stark sich abgefunden mit der Tatsache, daß die Menschen vor der Maja, vor der großen Illusion stehen, weil sie durch ihre Qualität, die nicht dem entspricht, wozu sie ursprünglich bestimmt waren, herabgestiegen sind von dieser ihrer ursprünglichen Gestalt. Einzig und allein Michael ist derjenige, der eben — ich muß mich, ich möchte sagen, banal ausdrücken - nicht nachgeben wollte und der mit denen, die Michael-Geister sind auch unter den Menschen, auf dem Standpunkte steht: Ich bin der Verwalter der Intelligenz. Die Intelligenz muß so verwaltet werden, daß in sie nicht eintritt die Illusion, die Phantastik, das, was den Menschen nur dunkel und nebulos in die Welt hineinschauen läßt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":173,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/237/1924-08-01/p019"},{"locus":"GA 237/1924-08-01/p020","passage_number":20,"text":"Meine lieben Freunde, zu durchschauen, wie da Michael dasteht als der größte Opponent in der Erzengelschar, das ist ein ungeheuer erhebender Anblick, das ist etwas überwältigend Grandioses.

Da waren, von Griechenland ausgehend, überall die Stätten der alten Mysterien so, daß über sie hingezogen war die Atmosphäre der Entmutigung. Entmutigt waren diejenigen, die in Unteritalien, in Sizilien die Nachfolger der alten pythagoreischen Schule waren, entmutigt waren sie, weil der Zauberglanz, der einmal im 6. vorchristlichen Jahrhundert über der pythagoreischen Schule gewaltet hatte, verglommen war.

Drüben in Asien, wo waren jene mutigen, gewaltigen Erhebungen in die geistige Welt, wie sie etwa ausgingen von den Diana-Mysterien in Ephesus? Selbst die Samothrakischen Mysterien, die Weisheiten der Kabiren, sie konnten nurmehr von denjenigen, die in sich selber den Impuls zum Aufschwunge, zum Großen trugen, entziffert werden; nur von denen, die so in ihrer Seele geartet waren, konnten noch die Rauchwolken, die aufstiegen aus Axieros, Axiokersos, Axiokersa, den Kabiren, entziffert werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":125,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/237/1924-08-01/p022"},{"locus":"GA 237/1924-08-01/p023","passage_number":23,"text":"Entmutigung war überall eingetreten!
