We see the great ideals of Man, the Man of the future elevated like a God. We see that as man today stands higher than animal and plant thus will the future man stand to his present existence. Spiritual science knows already today that beings stand above man at his present stage in evolution who are as perfect as we will be in a far future. They are beings highly exalted above man and who long ago passed through the stage we are at today, who have a purely spiritual life and no longer have need to descend to a physical body. Thus we see as man begins his earthly existence, as he leads over what was existing of him from the cosmos of wisdom, then not only he enters the cosmos of love but also higher spiritual guiding beings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"39.

Es sind Wesen, die hoch erhaben über dem Menschen sind und die die Stufe, welche wir heute einnehmen, schon vor langer Zeit durchgemacht haben, die ein rein geistiges Leben haben, die nicht mehr nötig haben, bis zu einem physischen Leibe herunterzusteigen.
