But instead of taking these central insights, as many feel tempted to do, in all sorts of new, poorly written repetitions of what already exists, but to say the same thing over and over again, the focus should be on developing the individual chapters of these central insights and really introducing spiritual-scientific insights into science and life. I mention this for the reason that there are really quite a lot of people within our movement, and some of them stand out in particular, who find it more comfortable to reproduce and repeat what is already available in the literature, instead of getting involved in introducing spiritual scientific knowledge into the areas that are particularly close to them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Lecture","site_heading":"The Four Members and Cosmic-Astral Correspondences","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.
