In ancient times, there was no knowledge of the reasons for existence that was acquired other than through clairvoyance. [Although] Deussen [claims the opposite, it must be said] that only since the Greek period did [intellectual] knowledge of the external world emerge, actually only with Thales; Thales was the first. What comes from atavistic clairvoyance is not [philosophy]. In ancient times, the places where man rose above the ordinary state were the mystery schools, [from today's perspective, something between a university and a church. In these mystery sites, people could gain initiation]. The initiates recognized: the spirit reveals itself only in the ego, not in the powers of the soul; the ego is the center of the soul's being. But at first the spirit revealed itself only as God, who lived in all the people, as with the ancient Hebrews. Man's deepest being is directly divine; body and soul are only indirectly so. Through certain practices and exercises, the soul life can become independent of the body. The divine lives in the ordinary human being as he is in life; it reveals itself from the core of his being, the I. There were various initiation instructions, essentially four. The mysteries become an historical fact in the mystery of Golgotha - that was the Christ impulse! The Christ is the universal spirit; his life took place on the physical plane before all humanity, and is not lived out in a small way - as insignificant, before individuals, before the apostles and others - but representatively before all humanity. Thus there was a replacement of the old mysteries by the One. In the I, in the innermost being of the soul, lies the highest power of humanity. So we can rise again from the Fall.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

In alten Zeiten gab es kein Wissen von den Gründen des Daseins, das anders erworben war als durch Hellsehen.

Was aus atavistischem Hellsehertum stammt, ist nicht [Philosophie]. Die Orte, wo der Mensch über den gewöhnlichen Zustand hinauskam, waren im Altertum die Mysterienstätten, [aus heutiger Sicht ein Zwischending zwischen Hochschule und Kirche. In diesen Mysterienstätten konnten die Menschen sich die Einweihung erringen]. Die Eingeweihten erkannten: Der Geist offenbart sich nur im Ich, nicht in den Seelenkräften; das Ich ist der Mittelpunkt des Seelenwesens. Aber erst offenbarte sich der Geist nur als Gott, der im ganzen Volk lebte, wie bei den alten Hebräern. Des Menschen tiefstes Wesen ist unmittelbar göttlich; Leib und Seele sind es nur mittelbar. Durch gewisse Vorschriften und Übungen kann das Seelenleben unabhängig werden vom Leibe. Das Göttliche lebt im gewöhnlichen Menschen, so wie er im Leben ist; es offenbart sich aus seinem Wesenskern, dem Ich. Es gab verschiedene Einweihungsvorschriften, im Wesentlichen vier. Die Mysterien werden zur historischen Tatsache im Mysterium von Golgatha - das war der Christus-Impuls! Der Christus ist der universelle Geist; sein Leben spielte sich vor der ganzen Menschheit auf dem physischen Plane ab, wird nicht im Kleinen dargelebt - wie unbedeutend, vor Einzelnen, vor den Aposteln und anderen -, sondern repräsentativ vor der ganzen Menschheit. So gab es einen Ersatz der alten Mysterien durch den Einen. Im Ich, im innersten Wesen der Seele, liegt die höchste Kraft der Menschheit.
