IX. World-Thoughts in Michael, and World-Thoughts in Ahriman

GA 26/l09/p009 · APC1956 LowLow alignmentMost translators re-paragraphed Steiner substantially. The locus identifies the same chapter or section, but paragraph-N to paragraph-N mapping is loose. For exact-quotation precision, compare with the German.

When Man pursues freedom, but with no leaning towards egoism; when freedom is to him pure love for the action he seeks to perform—then it is possible for him to draw near to Michael. If he seeks freedom in order to afford scope for his egoism; if freedom be to him the pride of feeling that in the action he gives expression to himself, then he is in imminent danger of falling into Ahriman's domain.
