Yet how does it come about? How are the forces really there, which lead these human beings in our time to find their way together under purely spiritual principles, when in the ordinary world of today they are complete strangers to one another? Where do the forces lie, that lead them together? My dear friends, they lie in this: Through the entry of Michael's dominion in the Michael age in which we live—with the penetration of Michael to earthly rulership, replacing the rulership of Gabriel—Michael himself is bringing the power which is to bring order again into the karma of those who have gone with him. Thus we may say: What is it in the last resort that unites the Members of the Anthroposophical Society? It is that they are to bring order again into their karma. This unites them. And if any one of them notices in the course of his life that he is entering here or there into relationships that do not conform to his inmost impulse,—relationships, perhaps, diverging in one way or another from what we may call the true harmony in man as between good and evil,—if he has this on the one hand, while on the other hand he has constant impulse to press forward in the Anthroposophical life,—the fact is that such a man is striving back again to his real karma. He is striving once more to live and express the real karma. This is the cosmic ray that pours through the Anthroposophical Movement, clearly perceptible to him who knows. *It is the restoration of the truth in karma.*","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Aber wie kommt es denn, daß auch die Kräfte vorhanden sind, die bewirken, daß wirklich heute sich Menschen zusammenfinden unter rein geistigen Prinzipien, die sonst fremd sind in der heutigen Welt? Wo liegen die Kräfte vom Sich-Zusammenfinden? Die liegen darin, daß durch den Eintritt der Herrschaft des Michael, durch das Michaelische Zeitalter, in dem wir leben, mit dem Hereindringen des Michael in die Erdenherrschaft, mit der Ablösung der Herrschaft des Gabriel durch die Herrschaft des Michael von Michael hereingebracht wird die Kraft, die da bei denjenigen, die mit ihm gegangen sind, wiederum das Karma in Ordnung bringen soll. So daß wir sagen können: Was vereinigt die Mitglieder der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft? Das vereinigt sie, daß sie ihr Karma in Ordnung bringen sollen! Wenn jemand merkt im Verlaufe seines Lebens, daß er da oder dort in Beziehungen hineinkommt, die nicht konform sind seinem inneren Drange, die vielleicht in irgendeiner Weise herausfallen aus dem, was richtige Harmonie ist im Menschen zwischen gut und böse — dieses auf der einen Seite —, und auf der anderen Seite stets ein Drang in ihm ist, mit dem Anthroposophischen vorwärts zu kommen: da liegt das vor, daß der Mensch wiederum zurückstrebt zum Karma, zum wirklichen Karma, zum Ausleben des wirklichen Karma. Das ist der kosmische Strahl, der sich deutlich für den Erkennenden durch die anthroposophische Bewegung ergießt: Wiederherstellung der Wahrheit des Karma. Sehen Sie, damit ist vieles verknüpft von dem, was sowohl Schicksal der einzelnen in der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft ist wie Schicksal der ganzen Gesellschaft.
