You can relate these poems to a time that is already being foreshadowed, which will truly come about in the sixth post-Atlantean epoch. One can easily sense in the poems that this is a soul that, through what it can gain as knowledge today, feels as if it has been plunged into nothingness. It wants to move on, but has nothing yet that can serve as an antidote, and then it comes up with an image of what it will be like if materialism continues in the same way in the near future! And in the sixth post-Atlantean epoch, people would have nothing else to worry about but what delle Grazie is already expressing today, if no antidote were created against the direction of development that human beings will take based on the forces they now possess.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Modern Consciousness and the Struggle for Spiritual Knowledge","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.
