And now the great agreement was reached under the leadership of Michael himself who looking down to the Intelligence that was now on the earth gathered his own around him: spiritual beings belonging to the super-sensible worlds, a great host of elemental spirits, and many, many discarnate human souls who were longing for a renewal of Christianity. It was too early, yet, for this to take effect in the physical world. But a great and mighty super-sensible School was instituted under the leadership of Michael, embracing all those souls in whom the impulses of paganism still echoed on but who were nevertheless longing for Christianity, and those souls who had already lived on the earth during the early centuries of Christendom and who bore Christianity within them in the form it had then assumed. A Michael host gathered together in super-sensible realms, receiving in the spiritual world the teachings which had been imparted by the Michael Teachers in the old Alexander time, in the time of the Grail tradition and which had also taken effect in impulses like that going out from Arthur's Round Table.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":207,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/240/1924-08-21/p042","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1924-08-21","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 240/1924-08-21/p038","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/240/1924-08-21/p038"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 240/1924-08-21/p038"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":306,"en_words":347,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Es war zum Beispiel, als einer der Scholastikerlehrer heruntergestiegen war aus der geistigen Welt, um dann den Aristotelismus im christlichen Sinn zu verbreiten, bei diesem Herunterstieg — das Karma wollte es so — noch nicht möglich, im vollen Sinn dasjenige zu verbinden mit der Seele, was der tiefere Inhalt des Gralsprinzips war. Aus diesem Grunde wurde ja verhältnismäßig spät die Gralsauffassung des Wolfram von Eschenbach bewirkt. Da brachte ein anderer, der etwas später herunterkam, das Entsprechende nach, und innerhalb des Dominikaner-Ordens wurde von einem älteren und einem jüngeren Dominikaner verhandelt über die vollständige Verbindung zwischen dem Aristotelismus und demjenigen, was ein mehr naturhaftes Christentum war, wie es in der Artusrunde lebte. Dann gingen auch die Individualitäten, die da als die Dominikanerlehrer vorhanden waren, hinauf in die geistige Welt. Und jetzt fand jener reale große Ausgleich statt unter der Führung des Michael selber, der herunterschaute auf die nunmehr auf der Erde befindliche Intelligenz, der aber jetzt die Seinen sammelte: Geistige Wesenheiten der überirdischen Welt, eine große Summe von Elementarwesen und viele, viele entkörperte Menschenseelen, deren innerer seelischer Zug hindrängte nach einer Erneuerung des Christentums. Dies konnte noch nicht gleich stattfinden in der physischen Welt, weil die Zeiten dafür noch nicht erfüllt waren. Es wurde aber eine große mächtige, übersinnliche Weisheitsinstitution unter der Führung Michaels selber gegründet, wo alle die Seelen vereinigt wurden, die noch heidnisch angehaucht waren, die aber nach dem Christentum strebten, auch diejenigen Seelen, die in den ersten christlichen Jahrhunderten schon einmal mit dem Christentum im Herzen, wie es damals vorhanden war, auf der Erde gelebt hatten.
