I only wish to bring it home to you that other conclusions are drawn in real life than in mere thought. Hence it is that the men of today are so far removed from reality, because they do not see through such things as these; they are not really willing to bring to consciousness what was formerly done instinctively. The instincts of past ages felt clearly enough that this or that would arise from one thing or another in real life. They were by no means inclined only to presume the consequences that follow by the logical thought. The instincts themselves worked with a logic of their own. But today men have come into a kind of uncertainty, and this uncertainty will naturally grow ever greater in the age of the evolution of the Spiritual Soul unless we make the counterbalance, which is: consciously to receive into ourselves the Logic of Reality. And we do receive it the moment we earnestly consider in its own essence and process the Spiritual that lives and moves behind the realities of sense.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Deshalb stehen die Menschen heute so furchtbar fern der Wirklichkeit, weil sie solche Dinge nicht durchschauen, weil sie nicht gewillt sind, dasjenige, was sich früher instinktiv gemacht hat, auch wirklich ins Bewußtsein umzusetzen. Die Instinkte der früheren Zeiten, die haben schon gefühlt: Da oder dort wird das oder jenes entstehen. Die Instinkte sind nicht geneigt gewesen, immer nur das Gedankenlogische vorauszusetzen. Die Instinkte haben bereits logisch gewirkt. Aber heute ist man in eine gewisse Unsicherheit hineingekommen, und diese Unsicherheit wird naturgemäß im Zeitalter der Entwickelung der Bewußtseinsseele immer größer und größer werden, wenn nicht das Gegengewicht geschaffen wird, das darin besteht, daß man auch bewußt Wirklichkeitslogik aufnimmt.
