VIII. Michael's Mission in the Cosmic Age of Human Freedom

> 1. A free action can only be one in which no process of Nature, in or outside of Man, plays a part. > 2. The polaric counter-proposition in this: In all free action of human individuality, a process of Nature in man is suppressed, which in an unfree action would be there and would give the man's being the formation cosmically predestined for it. > 3. This formation of his being, which a man fails to receive by the natural road if in his life and being he follows the course of cosmic evolution through its present and future stages, comes to him by a spiritual road through the union with Michael, whereby he also finds the way to Christ.
