19. The World Center, Christ, The I

The I is the same in man as Christ is in the world. It is the turning point in the whole evolution of mankind. Everything that preceded Christ in the development of mankind was a preparation for the appearance of Christ; everything that followed the appearance of Christ proceeded from it. Christ is the center of the world. He is the Word who stands in the center of the whole development. Like rays, the whole evolution of mankind flows toward Him, toward His embodiment.
