The faculty of thinking, man's own activity in the forming of thoughts, has only fully unfolded since the 15th century, since the entry of the Consciousness or Spiritual Soul into the evolution of humanity. In olden, pre-Christian times it would never have occurred to men to believe that they were producing their own thoughts out of themselves; they did not feel that they themselves were forming their thoughts but rather that the thoughts were revealed to them from the things of the world. They felt: Intelligence is universal, cosmic; Intelligence is contained within the things of the world; the Intelligence-content, the Thought-content of things is perceived just as colours are perceived; the world is full of Intelligence, pervaded everywhere by Intelligence. In the course of his evolution man has acquired a drop of the Intelligence that is spread over the wide universe. Such was the conception in days of old.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Michael's Cosmic Intelligence and Earthly Transformation","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.

Denn diese innere Seelenfähigkeit des Denkens, diese innere Aktivität des Gedankenbildens ist ja eigentlich erst vollständig entwickelt seit dem 15. Jahrhundert, seit dem Eindringen der Bewußtseinsseele in die Menschheitsentwickelung. Und wenn wir in vorchristliche Zeiten zurückgehen, in alte Zeiten, so finden wir überall, daß die Menschen noch gar nicht das Bewußtsein haben, daß sie selbst denken; sie fühlen gar nicht, daß sie Gedanken haben, sondern sie empfinden: die Gedanken werden ihnen aus den Dingen geoffenbart. Die Intelligenz ist kosmisch überall ausgebreitet. In den Dingen ist die Intelligenz. Und wie man die Farben wahrnimmt, so nimmt man auch den intelligenten Inhalt, den Gedankeninhalt der Dinge wahr. Die Welt ist voller Intelligenz. Allüberall ist intelligentes Wesen. Der Mensch hat diese Intelligenz sich gewissermafßen im Lauf der neuesten Zeit angeeignet. Man möchte sagen: Die Intelligenz ist etwas, was im weiten Weltenall ausgebreitet ist, wovon der Mensch in der neueren Zeit überall einen Tropfen bekommen hat.
