Reason Replaces Direct Spiritual Perception
- The shift to proving God's existence by reason marks the waning of direct spiritual perception in souls.
- Steiner links this change to the incoming age of the spiritual soul and Michael's altered role.
Intellect Disrupts Religious Rituals
- The rise of intellectual doubt disturbed core religious rites like the communion across Europe.
- Steiner sees reformers as expressions of the spiritual soul striving to reconceive mysteries through intellect.
Michael's Mission Causes Cosmic Disturbance
- Michael's effort to shepherd cosmic intellectuality into humans creates a disturbance in cosmic balance.
- This disturbance underlies the historical 'Disorders of the Faith' and related councils.
