At the transition of the Kali Yuga—the transition from the dark to the light age—one did indeed have to see things clearly, graphically, in the spiritual and in the physical together, if one would describe (as I did in the Introduction to my *Mysticism at the Dawn of the Modern Spiritual Life*) the necessary feeling at that time towards the Spiritual and the Material. From all directions one would like to gather the means of expression to describe the mighty transition that takes place at the dawn of the Michael age. And with all that the Anthroposophical Movement is, we must feel ourselves within these things. For all these mighty, overwhelming facts express themselves to begin with in the human karma which has now come into disorder. We must think of the great and universal truth that lies inherent in the karmic relationships. Yet the world today is such that even into these general karmic laws and relationships, exceptions could enter through the course of many centuries. And now the requirement is to bring these cosmic exceptions back into their true course. If we think of these things—for this is the task, the mission of the Anthroposophical Movement,—we shall feel something of the great and far-reaching significance of this Movement.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Man mußte bei dem Kali Yuga-Übergang, bei dem Übergang von dem finsteren in das lichte Zeitalter, ja tatsächlich in einer geistig-physischen Anschaulichkeit drinnenstehen, wenn man charakterisieren wollte, so wie ich es getan habe in der Vorrede zu meinem Buche «Die Mystik im Aufgange des neuzeitlichen Geisteslebens», die Stimmung, die man haben muß gegenüber dem Geistigen und dem Materiellen. Es ist tatsächlich so, daß man überall herholen möchte die Möglichkeiten, diesen grandiosen Übergang, der da stattfindet als Anbruch des Michael-Zeitalters, zu charakterisieren. Und mit allem, was anthroposophische Bewegung ist, muß man sich da drinnen fühlen. Denn all dieses Großartige, dieses Große, es lebt sich zunächst aus in dem schon in Unordnung gekommenen Menschenkarma.
