I have been reading Rudolf Steiner's lectures in September 1924 to the Priests of the CC about the Apocalypse of Saint John. Herein, he speaks especially about the importance of perceiving three closely related periods of time. The first concerns the advent of the Michael Mystery in the 1870's; the second concerns the Christ experience at the midpoint of the 20th century; and the third is the Sorath Mystery of 1998, and wherein Sorathian agents will abound in the world. I will cite the specific passage from lecture eight:

"It only makes sense If one becomes an Apocalypticer oneself through this Apocalypse and if one begins to understand one's age through this process of becoming an Apocalypticer to such an extent that one can make the impulses of this age into impulses for one's own work. However, here present-day human beings, including people who are active as priests, must look at the rise of Michael in the seventies of the last century, at the appearance of Christ in the first half of the 20th century and at the threatening rise of Soradt and the Soradtians at the end of the 20th century. Let us arrange our lives in accordance with these three mysteries of our time, the Michael mystery, the Christ mystery and the Soradt mystery as understanding human beings who know how to interpret the signs of our time, and we will be able to work in the right way in the field into which karma has led us, as for instance, the priest in his priestly field. We will go on from here tomorrow."

Thus, true Freedom becomes very comprehensive in its development, and we should refrain from trying to see the recent past, e.g., 1940 & 2020, as indicating a further lapse into slavery.
