Intellect Severs Direct Spiritual Vision
- The rise of intellectual consciousness separated humanity from direct spiritual perception of itself.
- This split made the imaginative, living forms of cosmic intelligence vanish from human sight.
The Threefold Human Being
- Man bears a threefold being: spirit-soul, physical/etheric, and later spirit-soul elements shaped in moon/earth times.
- Michael remains active in the part preserving man's divine image while withdrawing from the others.
Science Reveals Nature, Conceals Self
- As science illuminated nature, humanity lost inner sight of itself and began a searching longing for the human being.
- This search often turned to history and humanism as symbolic attempts to recover a lost inner picture.
