It is better to characterize and try to evoke a sensation of what is. That is why I tried today to evoke a sense of what is, what is in the first three years of our life, of every human life, and what emerges when we allow our lives to be illuminated by the light that radiates from the light of the cross on Golgotha. For then we get a feeling, a sense of how an impulse goes through human evolution, of which one can rightly say that the Pauline word “Not I, but the Christ in me!” must become truth. must become truth. Do we need to swear on some “positive” document? Do we need any external document to come to this Christ-power? No! You only need to know what man is in truth. Therefore, there is nothing “positively” Christian in this idea of Christ as presented by Theosophy.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"42.

Denn dann erhalten wir eine Empfindung, ein Gefühl davon, wie ein Impuls durch die menschliche Evolution geht, von dem man mit Recht sagen kann, dass das paulinische Wort «Nicht ich, sondern der Christus in mir!» Wahrheit werden muss.
