And anyone who, in a deeper sense, wishes to work for the spread of this threefold impulse must be aware that he has also to take into account spiritual factors like these that are present in human evolution. Indeed the powers on which one must call when one wants to bring something new into the development of humanity are faced not only with the things that any hard-headed philistine notices but also with things that are only laid open to a spiritual knowledge. What use is it when people of today regard this as superstition and do not want to hear that such spiritual beings intrude through human beings? They are nevertheless there, these spiritual beings! And anyone who does not merely want to go through life with a sleeping soul, but with a fully awake soul, can observe the influences of these beings everywhere.

Es stehen ja denjenigen Mächten, an die man appellieren muß, wenn man irgend etwas in die Menschheitsentwickelung einführen will, nicht bloß solche Dinge gegenüber, die der steife Philister bemerkt, sondern es stehen ihnen Dinge gegenüber, die sich nur einer Geist-Erkenntnis erschließen. Was hilft es denn, daß in der Gegenwart die Menschen das als einen Aberglauben betrachten und nicht davon hören mögen, wenn gesprochen wird von solchen durch die Menschen hereinragenden geistigen Wesenheiten? Sie sind ja doch da, diese geistigen Wesenheiten! Und wer nicht mit nur schlafender Seele das Leben verfolgen will, sondern mit wacher Seele, der kann überall die Wirkungen dieser Wesenheiten schauen. Wollte man nur aus dem Vorhandensein der Wirkungen sich ein wenig überzeugen lassen von dem Dasein der Ursachen! Das ist zunächst die Charakteristik nach dem Westen hin.
