At the same time we must remember that if we only use our external senses and the intellect that is bound up with these, we shall see very little; this applies to the Earth as well as to man, and in a still higher degree to the Universe. We must realize that the greater part of what is most essential is hidden from the outer senses, and also from external intellectual observation. Therefore to begin with we will point out a few things appertaining to the beings that surround us, but which are hidden from view. Much will have to be said which many of you know already, but in order to grasp our vast subject thoroughly it will be necessary to recapitulate to a certain extent. We must in the first place consider the planet on which we live, and which forms the centre of our studies.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"The Hierarchical Structure of Earth's Four Kingdoms","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Das gilt sowohl von der Erde wie von dem Menschen, und in höherem Maße noch von dem Weltall. Wir müssen uns klar sein darüber, daß ein großer Teil des Wesentlichsten den äußeren Sinnen wie auch der äußeren Verstandesbetrachtung überhaupt verborgen bleibt. Daher wollen wir zunächst auf einiges hindeuten, was von den uns umgebenden Wesenheiten im Verborgenen vorhanden ist. Dabei wird mancherlei erwähnt werden müssen, was vielen von Ihnen schon bekannt ist, aber zum Verfolgen des ganzen großen tatsächlichen Zusammenhangs ist es notwendig, daß wir uns vorher alle diese Dinge noch einmal vor die Seele führen.
