And there they came together with that other stream which was also linked with the Michael Age of ancient time but in which full account was taken of the central truth of Christianity, namely that the Christ Impulse had come down from the heavens to the earth. In the spiritual world the Teachers of Chartres came into contact with all that the Aristotelians of old had been able, as a result of the expeditions of Alexander to Asia, to achieve in preparation for Christianity. But they also came together with Aristotle and Alexander themselves who were then in the spiritual world. The impulse of which these two individualities were the bearers could not take effect on the earth at that time because it counted upon an abandonment of the old, nature-inspired Christianity that had still been reflected in the teachings of Chartres where, as in Arthur's Round Table, a pagan Christianity, a pre-Christian Christianity prevailed. In the days of the Teachers of Chartres it was not possible for the Aristotelians, for those who had established and promoted Alexandrianism, to be on the earth. Their time came a little later, from the 13th century onwards.","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.

Jahrhunderts hin durch die Pforte des Todes, in die geistige Welt hinein. Dort trafen sie zusammen mit jener anderen Strömung, die an die alte Michaels-Zeit anknüpfte, die aber durchaus mit dem vollen Christentum rechnete: mit dem vom Himmel auf die Erde herabgekommenen Christus-Impuls. In der geistigen Welt trafen sie zusammen mit alledem, was an Vorbereitung des Christentums in alter Zeit durch die Aristoteliker geleistet wurde dadurch, daß Alexander der Große seinen Zug nach Asien hinüber unternommen hatte, sie trafen zusammen aber auch mit dem ja damals in der geistigen Welt befindlichen Aristoteles und Alexander selber. Was diese beiden in sich trugen, konnte damals nicht auf der Erde sein, weil es durchaus mit einem Aufgeben des alten naturhaften Christentums rechnete, wie es noch im Abglanz in der Lehre von Chartres vorhanden war, wo eben noch so etwas nachwirkte wie, ich möchte sagen, das heidnische Christentum, das vorchristliche Christentum, das auch in der Artusrunde vorhanden war. In dieser Zeit, als die Lehrer von Chartres wirkten, konnten die Aristoteliker, konnten diejenigen, die den Alexandrinismus begründeten und förderten, nicht auf der Erde sein.
