The ego which acquires freedom in physical life, which entered in 333 which wrapped Christianity in a fog in two directions, and made it flee towards the east on the one hand and into the ancient Romanism which could never be entirely Christian on the other, this year 333 and the entrance of the ego threw a shadow or a darkness over the connections between successive earth lives, and it had to throw it, because this lies within the evolution of mankind. What would have happened if this ego had not entered? Julian the Apostate would have won, although from the viewpoint of the ancient mysteries one should really call him the Confessor and not the Apostate. Of course the following is only a nebulous hypothesis, but it indicates what could have happened; if Julian had introduced teachings from the old mysteries, humanity might have received the ego which came in from spiritual worlds in such a way that one could have also understood the karma teaching with it. Mankind had to climb over higher walls in order to arrive at an understanding of Christianity, and not arrive at it as easily as they would have if Julian the Apostate had been victorious.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":236,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/346/1924-09-11/p035","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1924-09-11","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 346/1924-09-11/p036","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/346/1924-09-11/p036"},{"locus":"GA 346/1924-09-11/p037","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/346/1924-09-11/p037"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":253,"en_words":236,"ratio":0.93,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.
