Then he beheld the mysteries of the soul of man, he beheld those seven Powers of whom it was known that they are the great celestial Instructors of the human race.—This was known in the early Christian centuries. In those times men did not speak, as they do to-day, of abstract teachings, where something is imparted by way of concepts and ideas. In the first Christian centuries men spoke of being instructed from the spiritual world by the Goddesses Dialectica, Rhetorica, Grammatica, Arithmetica, Geometria, Astrologia or Astronomia, and Musica. These Seven were not the abstract conceptions which they have become today; men gazed upon them, saw them before their eyes—I cannot say in bodily reality but as Beings of *soul*—and allowed themselves to be instructed by these heavenly figures. Later on they no longer appeared to men in the solitude of vision as the living Goddesses Dialectica, Rhetorica and the rest, but in abstract forms, in abstract, theoretic doctrines.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Chartres School Platonists and Dominican Aristotelians","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Dann sah sie die Geheimnisse der Menschenseele, sah jene sieben Mächte, von denen man wußte, daß sie die großen himmlischen Unterrichter des Menschengeschlechtes sind.

Diese sieben stellte man nicht abstrakt vor, wie in späterer Zeit: sie schaute man, sie sah man vor sich, ich kann nicht sagen leibhaftig, aber seelenhaftig.
