You must not forget, however, what was said at the same time: that the form in which death appears to men in the physical world is not its true form, and that therefore the outer sense world, which appears to be inevitably subject to death, is for this very reason not the true expression of what really underlies it, of the divine-spiritual Being at its root. This is really equivalent to saying that man suffers from an illusion, a monstrous deception, a maya, concerning all that is spread out around him in space for his senses to perceive. Could he recognize the true form he would not perceive the sense image but would discern the spirit. Could he recognize death in its real aspect he would see in death the form this sense world would have if it were to be the true expression of the divine Father Spirit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Es ist im Grunde genommen damit nichts anderes gesagt als: Der Mensch gibt sich einer Illusion hin, einer großen Täuschung, einer Maja über das, was im Raume um ihn für die Sinne ausgebreitet ist, und was er wahrnimmt.
