Only, with Augustine, it is done out of the full imaginative force of the Intellectual or Mind-Soul. (He lived from 354 to 430 A.D.) People find, and rightly, an affinity between Augustine and Descartes. Only the intellect of Augustine is the last remains of the cosmic one, whilst that of Descartes is the intellect that has already begun to make its entry into the individual human soul. Precisely by the road which the human mind has traveled in its searchings from Augustine to Descartes, it may be seen how the cosmic character of the Thought-forces disappears, and how the same thing reappears anew in the soul of Man. Yet at the same time it can be seen, under what difficulties Michael and the soul of Man are able so to meet together that Michael can direct in Man what he once directed in the Cosmos.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Nur ist der Intellekt des Augustinus noch der Rest des Kosmischen, der bei Descartes der schon in die einzelne Menschenseele einziehende. Gerade an dem Fortgang des Geistesstrebens von Augustinus zu Descartes kann man sehen, wie der kosmische Charakter der Gedankenkräfte sich verliert, und wie dieser dann in der Menschenseele wieder auftritt.
