The spiritual being known as Michael has accompanied humanity on its path from the cosmos to the earth since the very beginning and in this regard, his task has been threefold: to be the ruler of the Cosmic Intelligence, to be the Countenance of Christ, and to act as the foremost defender of the human soul against the dragon, or the forces that are hostile to the evolution of humanity - forces Rudolf Steiner calls, The Spirits of Darkness. Through Michael we can develop the right thinking for an understanding of our Times, so we can become the source from which his impulses can flow into the world. This book hopes to be a small contribution to what has already been written by others on this inexhaustible subject.
