We have our place in the arena of cosmic happenings. By reality in earlier times becoming semblance in us, reality is ever and again dissolved, and in that the semblance is quickened again by the will, new reality arises. Here we have—as if spiritually we could put our very finger upon it—what has also been spoken of from other points of view.—There is no eternal conservation of matter! Matter is transformed into semblance and semblance is transformed into reality by the will. The law of the conservation of matter and energy affirmed by physics is a delusion, because account is taken of the natural world only. The truth is that matter is continually passing away in that it is transformed into semblance; and a new creation takes place in that through the human being, who stands before us as the supreme achievement of the cosmos, semblance is again transformed into *Being (Sein)*.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Der verwandelt . sich in Schein, und der Schein wird vom Willen des Menschen wiederum in die Realität erhoben. Ein Truggebilde ist es, was als das Gesetz der Erhaltung des Stoffes und der Kraft in die physikalische Weltanschauung gebracht ist, weil man eben nur das natürliche Weltbild ansieht.
