I have often pointed out that all such cultural impulses arose in a similar way, namely because the first adherents of such a cultural impulse, the first to join it, were strong enough in their souls to feel this impulse as all-dominant. What would have become of Christianity if the first Christians had not carried the Christian impulses in their souls in an all-dominant way? We know that the dominant culture in the Roman Empire above—in what was, as it were, the physical light of day—was different from the Christian culture that developed below in the darkness of small conventicles, in the catacombs, and then rose up. We know that nothing remained of Roman culture, and that what developed down below in the deepest darkness of the catacombs rose up and became world-dominating. This happened because it was placed in the hearts and souls down below in the catacombs.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Consciousness Evolution Through Architectural Form and Spiritual Necessity","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Ich habe ja schon öfter darauf hingewiesen, daß alle solche Kulturimpulse auf ähnliche Weise entstanden sind; dadurch nämlich, daß die ersten Bekenner eines solchen Kulturimpulses, die ersten, die sich dazugerechnet haben, in ihrer Seele genügend stark waren, um diesen Impuls in ihrer Seele als allbeherrschend zu empfinden. Was wäre denn geworden aus dem Christentum, wenn die ersten Christen nicht allbeherrschend die christlichen Impulse in ihrer Seele getragen hätten? Wissen wir doch, daß die tonangebende Kultur im Römischen Reich oben - in dem, was gleichsam das physische Licht des Tages hatte - eine andere gewesen ist als die christliche Kultur, die sich unten im Dunkeln in kleinen Konventikeln, in den Katakomben entwickelt hat, und die dann hinaufgestiegen ist. Wissen wir doch, daß nichts geblieben ist von der römischen Kultur, und daß das, was sich unten im tiefsten Dunkel der Katakomben entwickelt hat, heraufgestiegen ist, weltbeherrschend geworden ist.
