The Connection Between Humans and the Spiritual World
Now, I said that half-truths and quarter-truths often have a worse effect than complete errors. In analytical psychology, half-truths and quarter-truths lie in the search for the subconscious reasons of the soul. But let us compare this with what we have pointed out today, that everything that lives at the bottom of the soul in reality has an effect from the realm of the dead, then we are driven to a completely different way of thinking, then we will not search for the “animalistic sludge” of the soul or for the devious eroticism behind some mood of the soul, but we will often have to look for the cause of a mood of the soul in this or that departed person whom we are making difficulties for through our own behavior, and these difficulties express themselves in the fact that this or that dissatisfaction pushes its way into consciousness. In short, we would do well to bring to our consciousness in a reverent, sacred way the connection that exists not only between our world and an abstract, pantheistic, vague spiritual world, but also the real spiritual world in which those who have passed through the gate of death are real beings who are with us as they were in life, only that what they interact with us is much closer to our soul than what they did in life, when we were always separated by our bodies, which stood like a barrier between us.
