This must really become common knowledge that such thinking is possible, and that only by such a thinking the human being can get to know the spiritual world. Not every human being has to become a spiritual researcher, just as little as everybody needs to become a chemist who wants to understand the achievements of chemistry. However, even if there can be few spiritual researchers, everybody can see the truth of that using unbiased thinking and understand what the spiritual researcher says. But it must become clear that there are unnoticed soul forces in the human being during life which when the human being goes through the gate of death become the same forces as an initiate has. When the human being goes through the gate of death, thinking becomes another soul-force: it intervenes in the being. It is as if antennas were perpetually put out, and the human being experiences the higher worlds which are in these antennas.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Das muß wirklich Gemeingut werden, daß solches Denken möglich ist, und daß nur durch solches Denken der Mensch mit der geistigen Welt Bekanntschaft machen kann. Dazu braucht nicht jeder Mensch ein Geistesforscher zu werden, ebensowenig wie jeder ein Chemiker zu werden braucht, der die Errungenschaften der Chemie verstehen will. Doch wenn es auch nur wenig Geistesforscher geben kann, jeder kann durch unbefangenes Denken die Wahrheit dessen einsehen und begreifen, was der Geistesforscher sagt. Aber das muß klarwerden, daß im Menschen während des Lebens unbemerkte Seelenkräfte liegen, die, wenn der Mensch durch die Pforte des 'T’odes tritt, von selbst auch zu dem werden, was sie bei einem Initiierten werden. Wenn der Mensch durch die Pforte des Todes tritt, wird das Denken eine ganz andere Seelenkraft: sie greift ein in die Wesenheit.
