Aber sie zeigen auf der anderen Seite, wie das Denken der Menschen selber dazu treibt, mit seinen abstrakten Begriffen der Lichtstrahlenausbreitung und des Elektrons irgendwie in eine Region hineinzukommen, wo das Richtige liegt. Es handelt sich ja dabei nur darum, daß man in das Richtige hineinkommt, um in die Ideen, die überall auftreten, mit denen man gar nichts anfangen kann, jenen Impuls hineinzubringen, der auch die Forschung der Gegenwart hinaufträgt in die geistigen Gebiete. Es gibt in gewissen okkulten Kreisen einen Unfug; da wird der Mensch belehrt mit allerlei okkulten Lehren, aber man führt ihn nicht zu dem Endpunkt desjenigen, aus dem eigentlich diese Lehren stammen. Man gibt ihm nur Bilder, und man führt ihn nicht zu dem, wovon diese Bilder eigentlich das Abbild sind, gemalt sind.
