The first thing we must unlearn if we want to understand the content of true fairy tales or legends is that they are some kind of fiction created by the imagination of the people. They are never that. The first starting point for the origin of fairy tales lies in ancient times, in times when all human beings, who had not yet matured to intellectual culture, possessed a certain degree of clairvoyance, which remained as a remnant of an original clairvoyance. People who retained such clairvoyance for a long time experienced intermediate states between sleeping and waking. And when such people, who had this remnant of ancient clairvoyance, were in these intermediate states, they actually experienced the spiritual world, the spiritual world in its most diverse forms. It was not what we call a dream today. For most people today, not all, a dream is something chaotic. In those ancient times, people with this old clairvoyance experienced something very regular, so regular that the experiences were the same or at least typically similar among different people.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Das sind sie niemals. Der erste Ausgangspunkt zur Märchenentstehung liegt bei allen wirklichen Märchen in uralten Zeiten, in den Zeiten, in denen es für alle noch nicht zur Verstandeskultur herangereiften Menschen ein gewisses mehr oder weniger hochgradiges Hellsehen gab, das als ein Rest eines ursprünglichen Hellsehens geblieben war. Die Menschen, die sich noch ein solches Hellsehen lange bewahrten, hatten Zwischenzustände zwischen dem Schlafen und dem Wachen. Und wenn solche Menschen, die solchen Rest des alten Hellsehens hatten, in solchen Zwischenzuständen waren, dann erlebten sie tatsächlich die geistige Welt, die geistige Welt in der mannigfaltigsten Gestalt. Es war nicht das, was ein heutiger Traum ist. Ein heutiger Traum ist für die meisten Menschen, nicht für alle, schon etwas Chaotisches.
