One does not yet notice that everything that is aimed at is not only a beholding with the head. However, the heart and the whole soul is combined with everything, always the heart is flowed through, while the head, for example, describes the transitions from Saturn to the Sun, from the Sun to the Moon, from the Moon to the earth et cetera. Everywhere the heart takes part in the portrayal; and one can be touched there in the deepest that one ascends with all heart-feeling to the top heights and dives in the deepest depths and can ascend again. One does not notice this even today that that what is described only apparently in concepts one has to put one's heart and soul in it at the same time if it should correspond to the Central European cultural life. This intimate element of the Central European culture is capable of the spiritual not without ideal, not to think the ideal any more without the spiritual. Recognising the spirit and combining it intimately with the soul characterises the Central European being most intensely. Hence, this Central European being can use that what descends to the deepest depths of the sensory view and the sensory sensation to become the symbol for the loftiest. It is deeply typical that Goethe, after he had let go through his mind the life of the typical human being, the life of Faust, closed his poem with the words:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Man merkt noch nicht, daß alles, was da angestrebt wird, nicht nur Kopfschauen ist, sondern daß überall mit allem das Herz und die ganze Seele verbunden sind, daß immer das Herz durchströmt ist, indem der Kopf zum Beispiel die Übergänge schildert von Saturn zur Sonne, von der Sonne zum Mond, vom Mond zur Erde und so weiter, daß da überall das Herz mit dabei ist in der Schilderung, und man da im Tiefsten ergriffen sein kann, daß man mit allem herzmäßigen Fühlen in die höchsten Höhen hinaufsteigt und in die tiefsten Tiefen untertaucht und wieder aufsteigen kann. Das merkt man heute noch nicht, daß dasjenige, was nur scheinbar in Begriffen beschrieben ist, zugleich mit Herzblut geschrieben sein muß, wenn es mitteleuropäischem Geistesleben entsprechen will. Dieses intime Element der mitteleuropäischen Kultur vermag das Spirituelle nicht ohne das Ideelle, das Ideelle nicht mehr ohne das Spirituelle zu denken. Den Geist zu erkennen, um mit dem Geist in einer intimen Weise zu gleicher Zeit eine ArtVermählung der Seele einzugehen, dieses Moment ist es, das am intensivsten das mitteleuropäische Wesen charakterisiert. Daher kann dieses mitteleuropäische Wesen das, was bis in die tiefsten Tiefen der sinnlichen Anschauung und der sinnlichen Empfindung heruntersteigt, verwenden, um zum Symbol zu werden für das Allerhöchste.
