IV. Theosophy and Christianity

This was the custom for centuries. Then came a time, and this is the time of the emergence of Christianity, when what had previously only been available to the rich in spirit, to those who were initiated into the mysteries, took place on the great stage of world history as a historical fact before the eyes of the world, for all people. Only those who saw the secrets of existence in the mystery temples could, in ancient times, according to the view of the priest-wise men, attain true bliss. But the founder of Christianity was moved by a higher compassion to take a different path with all of humanity and to allow those who did not see, that is, those who could not enter the mystery temples, those who could only be led to this bliss through weak feelings, through faith alone, to also attain bliss.
