Extra Lecture

[ 2 ] 1899–1933: A transitional period—people will once again emerge with clairvoyant abilities that they will develop naturally.

[ 3 ] In the era that lies ahead, those with emerging clairvoyant abilities must find a way to fulfill them and discover what to do with them.

[ 4 ] I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Christ will appear in ethereal form. The physical Christ has become the Spirit of our Earth—that was the center, the hypomochlion, of Earth’s evolution.

[ 5 ] 5. Epistle of the Apocalypse: I will come, but take care that you do not recognize me.

[ 6 ] Humanity has 2,500 years to rediscover its clairvoyant gifts. By 1933, the Gospels must be understood in their spiritual sense in such a way that they have served to prepare the way for Christ. Otherwise, infinite confusion would be caused in the soul.
