This intimacy with the spiritual world must be the result of all our considerations. That is why we can attach a certain importance to such surrounding forms and seek to penetrate what they can mean for us. We look in all directions and feel the power of light and color, which for us can become a revelation of what lives in the spiritual world. What we have to say certainly also can be understood in the barren, dreadful halls unfortunately so prevalent everywhere today. But a real warmth of soul can only come about in spiritual studies when we are surrounded by forms such as these. That this can be so after the first five years of our work here in Bern may be looked upon as the good karma that blesses and accompanies our activities. Therefore, we shall devote this occasion that is festive in a twofold way to considering the significance of spiritual science, of a spiritual knowledge, for modern man.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Daher dürfen wir einen gewissen Wert auf eine solche Umrahmung legen, dürfen immer mehr uns hineinleben in das, was uns eine solche Umrahmung sein kann. Da blicken wir nach allen Seiten in solcher Umrahmung und fühlen da, sagen wir, die Gewalt von Licht und Farben, die für uns zu Offenbarungen werden desjenigen, was in der geistigen Welt ist.
