In the West, one wants to arrange, to systematise, and to nicely tin everything. Think only what a dreadful matter it was, when in the beginning of our spiritual-scientific striving many of our friends were still influenced by the English theosophical direction. In every branch you could find all possible systems written down on maps, boards et cetera, on top, nicely arranged: atma, buddhi, manas, then all possible matters in detail which one systematises and tins that way. Imagine how one has bent under the yoke of this dogmatism and how difficult it was to set the methods of internal development to their place, which we must have in Central Europe, that one thing ensues from the other, that concepts advance in the internal experience. One does not need systematising, these mnemonic aids which wrap up everything in certain formulae. Which hard work was it to show that one matter merges into another, that you have to arrange matters sequentially and lively. I could expand this account to all branches of life; however, we would have to stay together for days.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Man muß im Westen gliedern, systematisieren, man muß alles hübsch einschachteln. Bedenken Sie doch nur einmal, was für eine furchtbare Sache es war, wie im Beginn unseres geisteswissenschaftlichen Strebens dadurch, daß viele unserer Freunde noch beeinflußt waren von der englischen theosophischen Richtung, man in jedem Zweig, in den man kam, immer wieder alle möglichen Systeme auf Karten, Tafeln und so weiter aufgeschrieben finden konnte, oben, hübsch angeordnet: Atma, Buddhi, Manas, dann alle möglichen Dinge der Quere und der Länge nach, die man so systematisiert und eingeschachtelt hat. Bedenken Sie, wie man sich unter das Joch dieses Dogmatismus gebeugt hat und wie schwierig es war, die inneren Entwickelungsmethoden an seine Stelle zu setzen, wie wir sie in Mitteleuropa haben müssen: daß das eine aus dem andern hervorgeht, daß Begriffe im inneren Erleben vorwättsschreiten! Das Systematisieren, diese Eselsbrücken des Geistes, die alles in ganz bestimmte Formeln bringen, kann man nicht brauchen. Was hat es für Mühe gekostet, zu zeigen, daß man es zu tun hat mit einem Übergehen des einen in das andere, mit einem folgemäßigen Gliedern und Vorwätrtsschreiten, mit einem lebendigen organischen Gestalten!
