These latter owe their existence to a much later period, so that we should not at first take such things intellectually. And you must comprehend what is meant when some minds describe other than from the intellectual side; the intellectualist will never be able to understand such minds. I will give a hint to anyone who wishes for instruction on this point.—Take out of the public library a book—which is quite a good one,—the so-called ‘Old Schwegler,’ formerly much used by students for examinations, but now no longer applicable since the ‘soul’ is dethroned; although this book has been mutilated by way of improvement, it is not quite spoilt. You can take old Schwegler's *History of Philosophy* and you will have quite a good book. If you read there about the philosophy of Hegel you will find everything splendidly described. But now read the short chapter of Jacob Boehme, and try to obtain a correct idea of how helpless a man is who writes an intellectual philosophy when confronted with a spirit such as Jacob Boehme! Paracelsus—thank God—he left out entirely; for concerning him he would have written completely unjustifiable things. But just read what he says about Jacob Boehme. Here Schwegler comes to a spirit who simply proceeded to describe—not the Saturn picture,—but the recapitulation of the Saturn picture taking place in the Earth period; this he can only do in words and concepts that cannot be approached by the intellect. To the intellectual man all comprehension here ceases. It is not as though these things were impossible of comprehension, but they cannot be understood if the standpoint of the dry philosophic intellect is insisted upon.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.
