If we consider the thinking which is active in us as human beings, not according to its content, but as a force—if we consider the *thinking force* in us, we find that the very force with which we think is something like a shining into our life of that which we experienced in the spiritual world before birth, or before conception. And the *will-nature* in man is something embryonic, something germinal, which will come to complete development only *post mortem* after death. So we may say: If this (see diagram) is the course of human life between birth and death, then thinking, as it exists in man within the course of this human life, is only an appearance, for its true being lies in the time before birth, or before conception; and willing is only a germ, for what develops from this germ does so only after death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.
