VII. Michael-Christ in Man

Were it otherwise—were Michael to work so that he transferred his actions into that physical world which Man, at the present day, must know and experience as such—then Man would learn from the world at the present day, not what actually is in the world, but what was. Wherever this happens, the human soul is led by this illusory reading of the world out of its own reality, that is fitted to it, into a reality of another sort—namely a Luciferic one.
