What they gained through this transport to the sun, human beings have been able to gain since the Mystery of Golgotha by directing their soul's gaze to this mystery. Previously, this gaze was directed toward the spatial cosmos; since the founding of Christianity, time has taken the place of space. The soul's gaze can be directed toward what happened at Golgotha. What previously had to be sought outside the earth could now be found in earthly events themselves. The ancient mysteries lose their sunlike brilliance before the radiant star of Golgotha. They find their fulfillment in it.
