historical incarnations
i'm reading an illuminating old speech, held by WJ Stein at an anthroposophical meeting in the 1920s.
"Between 809 and 869 A.D. Alexander and Aristotle were re-‐incarnated together, though hardly known to one another. And that period was extremely important for Anthroposophists who were also incarnated, and for Anthroposophy generally. But actually it was soon after 809 that they were together again in the Spiritual World."
Lots of people/souls alive now seem to have been incarnate also in the 9th century, the speech claims.
"Our karma is bound up with the fate of the First Hierarchy."
"We souls, who are karmically connected with this, have, as our compensating task, to re-‐unite East and West. This is as precisely right for the present time ..."
and then, moon streams that cannot be spiritualized, latin peoples that must disappear, archangels supplanting heredity... and so forth. The holy spirit will lead back the moon-forces.
