43. The Spiritual Guidance of Man and Humanity III

Everything that is founded in the spiritual world has its effects on the physical plan. Our culture will indeed, on the whole, undertake a greater upward movement towards spirituality, and in this urge of people upwards towards spirituality the normal rulers and leaders of our present humanity reveal themselves. In everything that today wants to lead man upwards into that which Theosophy hands down to us from the great spiritual wisdoms, the normal guides and leaders of our development are revealed. But the entities that remained behind during the Egyptian-Chaldean culture intervene in our cultural tendencies, intervene in everything we think and do, and reveal themselves through the fact that all our culture is mixed with so much materialistic thinking, which often interferes even with the highest spiritual. On the whole, it is a resurgence of Egyptian culture in our time.
