In erecting this Building an attempt has been made to bid in a sort of way, defiance to the Past, in the shapes and lines of it, and so forth. And in the same way, practically, we must have the courage to grasp all that can be got from the fact that the Building actually stands here. We shall never get right, my dear friends, if we go on clinging to little remedies. We shall only get right by resolutely and consciously keeping before men's eyes the necessity for a new form of spiritual civilisation, for that alone can be the true starting-point for a new form of social civilisation. For the social order cannot any longer be evolved out of the economic order, but only out of a spiritual element that shall have sunk into the economic one. And we must clearly realise that the Economic type of man is played out, and that another type must come to the top,—the type of man who is a World-man, one who is conscious that there lives within him not only what he has inherited through earthly descent, but who is conscious that there live within him, also, forces of the sun and the heaven of stars, forces of the world above the senses. In such forms as people can understand, we must bring this to their consciousness; and then alone shall we be doing something towards the real progress of mankind. By merely transmitting all sorts of mystical teachings we can do no good whatever. Our mysticism must be actual spiritual life—active spiritual life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Man hat versucht, mit diesem Bau etwas hinzustellen, was in seinen Formen in einer gewissen Weise Hohn spricht aller Vergangenheit. So sollte man auch tatsächlich den Mut haben dazu, zu erfassen, was herausgeholt werden sollte aus der Tatsache, daß dieser Bau da steht. Wir kommen nicht zurecht, wenn wir uns auch ferner nur an kleine Mittel halten, wenn wir nicht daran arbeiten, mit Bewußtsein vor die Menschheit die Notwendigkeit einer neuen Geisteskultur hinzustellen. Denn die allein wird der wahre Ausgangspunkt sein für eine neue soziale Kultur. Das Soziale wird nicht mehr aus dem Wirtschaftlichen herausgeholt, sondern allein aus dem Geistigen in das Wirtschaftliche hineingesenkt werden können. Und wir müssen uns bewußt werden, daß der ökonomische Typus Mensch ausgespielt hat, daß ein anderer Typus Mensch kommen muß, der Weltmensch ist, der sich bewußt ist, nicht nur dasjenige lebe in ihm, was Erdenvererbung ist, sondern der sich bewußt ist, dasjenige lebe in ihm, was Kräfte der Sonne und des Mondes und des Sternenhimmels sind, was Kräfte der übersinnlichen Welt sind. In den Formen, in denen es die Menschen verstehen können, sollten wir ihnen das zum Bewußtsein bringen, dann allein können wir etwas zum wirklichen Fortschritt der Menschheit beitragen. Durch bloßes Übertragen von mystischen Lehren nützen wir gar nichts.
