It will draw certain conclusions and thus come near the truth. For some persons this will not be necessary, because science will gradually be supplemented by clairvoyant perception that does experience the difference between these forces and those active out in the three kingdoms of nature. At present I cannot deal fully with the superficial objection that animals also sleep. Such objections have little logical value but people do not notice it, nor their superficiality, for they judge according to concepts instead of the real nature of things. By introducing animal sleep into the argument one would speak the same fallacy as if someone were to say, “I sharpen my pencil with a knife and I also shave with a knife,” and another person replied, “That is impossible, knives are there to cut meat.” People are always making that kind of judgment. They think that a given thing must have the same function in different realms of nature. Sleep is an altogether different function in man from what it is in the animals.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Krishna, the Luke Jesus Child, and Human Creative Forces","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.

Zwar wird sie Schlüsse machen und dann wohl auf die Wahrheit kommen. Aber das wird für eine gewisse Anzahl von Menschen nicht notwendig sein, denn es wird ja diese Wissenschaft allmählich unterstützt werden von dem hellsichtigen Erkennen, für das sich allerdings diese Kräfte ganz anders verhalten als die Kräfte, die wir draußen im mineralischen, pflanzlichen, tierischen Reich regsam finden. Ich kann jetzt nicht darauf eingehen, daß ein oberflächlicher Einwand der wäre, daß die Tiere ja auch schlafen. Solche Einwände sind logisch wirklich ganz minderwertig, aber man bemerkt nicht ihre Minderwertigkeit, weil man nicht nach dem Wesen der Sache, sondern nach Begriffen urteilt. Derjenige, der den tierischen Schlaf in diese Betrachtung hereinbringen würde, der würde logisch denselben Fehler begehen, wie wenn jemand sagen würde: Ich spitze meinen Bleistift mit einem Messer und ich rasiere mich mit einem Messer, — und der andere würde sagen: Das kann ja gar nicht sein, ein Messer gehört zum Fleischschneiden. — So urteilen die Menschen überall. Die Menschen denken, dasselbe habe für andere Reiche dieselbe Funktion. Das ist aber derselbe Fehler, wie wenn jemand, der nur ein Messer beim Fleischschneiden gesehen hat, und nun sieht, wie ein Messer zum Rasieren verwendet wird, das Rasieren mit dem Fleischschneiden zusammenbringen würde.
