Spiritual science shows, however, that during life between death and rebirth man encounters certain beings. Just as here he meets the many beings of the various kingdoms of nature, so after death he meets the beings of higher hierarchies and certain elemental beings. If a person goes through life without any sense of judgment, this is due to the fact that between death and rebirth he was unable to meet those beings who could have given him the appropriate forces to enable him to be morally and intellectually effective in this life. But the possibility and the ability to meet certain beings between death and rebirth depends on the last life. If during earthly life we do not occupy ourselves with thoughts relating to the supersensible, if during our life we have been completely immersed in the external sense world, if we only lived in our intellect inasmuch as it was directed to the physical world, then we make it impossible for ourselves between death and a new birth to encounter certain beings and to receive abilities from them for a subsequent life. The realm beyond remains dim and dark for us, and we are unable to find the forces of higher hierarchies in the darkness. Man, then between death and a new birth, passes by those beings from whom he should receive forces for his next earthly life.

The Academy of Gondishapur established by Shapur I, and housed the oldest known teaching hospital, a library and a university. ---- But in the Academy of Gondishapur it was also taken hold of by that Oriental spiritual stream which we may describe as Arabism. Arabism in one aspect of its nature, is a premature unfolding of the Spiritual Soul. Through the soul-life working prematurely in the direction of the Spiritual Soul, the possibility was given in Arabism for a spiritual wave to go forth, extending over Africa to southern and western Europe, and filling certain men of Europe with an intellectualism that should not properly have come until ma later stage. In the seventh and eighth centuries, southern and western Europe received spiritual impulses which ought to have come only in the age of the Spiritual Soul. This spiritual wave was able to awaken the intellectual life in man, but not the deeper founts of experience whereby the soul penetrates into the world of Spirit. And now, when in the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries man exercised his faculty of Knowledge, he could but reach down to those levels of soul where he did not yet impinge upon the spiritual world. Arabism, entering into the spiritual life of Europe, held back the souls of men, in Knowledge, from the Spirit-world. Prematurely it brought that intellect into activity which was only able to apprehend the outer world of Nature. ---- Soratic impulse: the intention of Sorat for the year 666 was to deluge humanity with a knowledge and a culture which the primal gods had intended for men only during the third millennium, by bestowing the consciousness soul prematurely on Man around 666, thereby and side-tracking normal development by mingling the intellectual soul's development with that of the consciousness soul. Geniuses would have arisen with inspired knowledge that mankind will only have around 2493, and delivered great advances to humanity's unbalanced immature soul moods of that period (1918-10-11-GA184). ---- The plan of the Sorat was immediately to inspire the academy's genius scholars to the discovery of every insight and invention that humanity would, in the normal progression of evolution, find over the period stretching to about 3,600 AD, to the end of the era Rudolf Steiner designates as the era of the Consciousness Soul, which started in 1413AD. Had this plan succeeded, the entire future developmental potential of humanity would have been consumed in 666 AD. Humanity would have achieved a tremendous brilliance, but it would have been unable to develop beyond what would otherwise have been achieved by 3,600 AD. In other words, humanity's cosmic future would have been forfeit.

However, in a bizarre combination of cock-ups, financial constraints, and Venetian trading ambitions, the target ended up being Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire and the greatest Christian city in the world. Sacked on 12 April 1204 CE, Constantinople was stripped of it's riches, relics, and artworks, and the Byzantine Empire was divided up between Venice and its allies. The Fourth Crusade thus gained its infamous reputation as the most cynical and profit-seeking of all the Crusades.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter". 2000 A.D. 2000 March 12 Apology of the Catholic Church Is the Church finnally ready to express some guilt over it's actions of the past. 3574 6th Post Atlantean Epoch Age of Aquarius Eastern European Cultural Epoch Development of the Spirit - Self Until 5734 A.D. 5734 7th Post Atlantean Epoch Age of Capricorn American Cultural Epoch Development of Life-Spirit Age of the "War of All Against All" |
