It is particularly interesting to look again at the period in Europe's spiritual development that we considered eight days ago from this point of view, I mean the period from the 9th to the 13th, 14th, 15th century. When one has achieved this selflessness in relation to the content of thoughts and, united with it, the right sense of reverence, of devotion, as the mystic must also have had it, then the time when great spirits appear in world history often appears quite differently than in profane historiography. When we look at this period in the Akashic Records, our gaze is drawn to a great figure who can teach us an enormous amount about that time, a figure who presents himself to the observer as great and who presents himself to the occultist even more powerfully than to the ordinary researcher: Wolfram von Eschenbach.
