Man könnte da an mancherlei erinnern, aber denken Sie doch nur einmal, was alles die Tanten sagen, die sich den Kuppelpelz einmal bei irgendeinem verdienen wollen, wo sie zwei Leute zusammenkuppeln wollen und nun über die beiden Leute sagen, daß es die Braut, daß es der Bräutigam tue! Es kommt ihnen wirklich nicht darauf an, daß die Dinge stimmen, sondern, daß unter dem Einflusse dessen, was sie sagen, eben der Kuppelpelz verdient wird.

Und das liegt immer zugrunde dem, was ich eben beschrieben habe, wo in einer ganz kurzen Stunde jemand, der ganz rebellisch war, durch ahrimanische Künste suggeriert wird. Im Bunde mit Ahriman kann man schon auch das einem anderen Menschen beibringen, daß er glaubt, daß in dieser oder jener menschlichen Persönlichkeit diese oder jene überragende Individualität inkarniert sei.
