It will then be an impossibility for him to look upon the external physical world as a world that is real in the true sense. He will experience his own inner being as rooted in true reality. And this he will experience not just in thinking but in the Spirit-Self within the spiritual world. He will know himself to be a citizen of the spiritual world and it will seem sheer nonsense to him to regard man the way the West does: as a being evolved from the animal kingdom. That aspect of man the people of the East will recognize to be merely man's outer covering. The Eastern European, as he develops the Spirit Self, will ascend to the realm of the Hierarchies just as the Western European descends to the kingdom of nature. African Spir knew instinctively that his being was rooted in the spirit. This instinctive sense of living in spiritual reality is to be found today in Eastern Europe, but is as yet not able to come to expression in an appropriate view of life. This will become possible only when spiritual science, developed in Central Europe, becomes absorbed into Eastern European culture. What is as yet experienced only instinctively, in Eastern Europe, as life in spiritual reality, will then find expression.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Er wird sich als ein Bürger der geistigen Welt wissen, und es wird ihm als Unsinn erscheinen, zu sagen, der Mensch sei dasjenige, was einstmals die westlichen Völker als den Menschen angenommen haben. Das, was die westlichen Völker als den Menschen angenommen haben, was sie im Zusammenhang mit der Evolution aus dem Tierreiche gebracht haben, das wird er als Schale ansehen. So wie der osteuropäische Mensch von seinem Geistselbst aus mit der geistigen Welt, mit den Hierarchien, den Weg hinauf zu den Hierarchien macht, so macht der Westeuropäer den Weg zu dem Naturreiche hinunter. Das lebt schon als Instinkt, dieses Drinnenstehen in der geistigen Welt, in African Spir. Aber dieses instinktive Leben in der geistigen Welt, wie es in Osteuropa jetzt vorhanden ist, hat noch keine Möglichkeit, seine Weltanschauung auszudrücken; es wird erst seine Weltanschauung ausdrücken können, wenn es übernimmt diejenigen Vorstellungen, die in der Geisteswissenschaft in Mitteleuropa entwickelt werden können.
