The concept of race is only really applicable to the old Atlantis. Therefore, since we reckon with a real development of humanity, we have not used the concept of race in its most eminent sense for the post-Atlantean period. We do not speak of an Indian race, Persian race and so on, because that is no longer correct. We speak of an ancient Indian cultural period, an ancient Persian cultural period and so on.

			And it would completely lose all sense if we wanted to speak of a sixth race preparing itself in our time. If remnants of the old Atlantean differences, of the old Atlantean group soulfulness still exist in our time, so that one can still speak of the racial division still having an effect - what is preparing for the sixth period consists precisely in the fact that the racial character is being stripped away. That is the essential thing. That is why it is necessary that the movement which is called anthroposophical, which is to prepare for the sixth period, should take up in its basic character this stripping away of the racial character, namely that it should seek to unite people from all races, from all nations, and in this way bridge this differentiation, these differences, these chasms which exist between the individual groups of people. For it has in a certain respect a physical character, which is old racial standpoint, and it will have a much more spiritual character, which will take place in the future.\|117\|152f}}

			According to [[Rudolf Steiner]], the special spiritual abilities of the Aryans were based on the fact that they were able to combine the last remnants of ancient [[clairvoyance]] with an initial disposition to [[rational thinking]].

			{{GZ\|In the legends and myths, and probably also in history, it is told that certain people descended from the highlands of Asia, who in very ancient times brought a certain culture to the south and south-west. Spiritual science must fathom what kind of people these were who descended to those people who only received the power of direction for life from within, from their intuitions. There we find, examined spiritually, that these people, who came like a new element of the population into the civilisation of that time, united two things with each other which the others did not have. The other people had the atavistic power of clairvoyance without the intellect, without the intelligence; those who came down also had something of the power of clairvoyance, but at the same time they had received in their soul the first disposition to intelligence, to the intellect. And so they brought upon the civilisation of that time a clairvoyance imbued with understanding. These were the first Aryans of whom history tells. And out of the antagonism between the old atavistic-soul-living people and these people who penetrated the old soul force with the intellect, the first caste difference arose externally-physically-empirically, which still has an effect in Asia, of which Tagore, for example, speaks. The most outstanding of these people, who at the same time had the ancient vision of the soul and the intellect, the intelligence that was just emerging in humanity, became the leaders of those mysteries of which I have just spoken, the mysteries of the Oriental light, and from them emanated what later came over to Greece. So that, if I am to draw it schematically, I can say to you: From the mysteries of the Orient went forth the stream of the spirit.\|195\|16f}}
