«Michael is a being who does not really reveal anything, unless we bring towards him from the earth something arising from diligent spiritual work. […] The other spirits inspire in us the deeds we are meant to carry out. Michael will be the true spiritual hero of freedom.
He leaves us free to act and then takes what arises from our actions and carries it forward in the cosmos, so that what we cannot yet effect can work on in the cosmos. […]
Only what we find independently of what we have inherited – in humanity, in animals and plants – can be carried up and placed before Michael. […] And Michael strictly rejects everything that causes, for instance, the division of human languages. As long as we merely wrap our insights into language without carrying them up into thought, we cannot come close to Michael.»
