One always finds, of course, that people are pleased when such things are related. This is quite comprehensible ... and it is good. How much there is that one can learn to know! And then, with a tremendous diligence people start on it. They begin ... and it doesn't succeed. Then they become disheartened. Then, perhaps, they try it again, several times. Again it does not succeed. But, in effect, if one has tried it about 49 times, or, let us say, somebody else has tried it about 69 times, then the 50th or the 70th time it does succeed. For what really matters in all these things is the acquisition of a kind of habit of soul concerning them. To begin with, one must find one's way into these things, one must acquire habits of the soul.

Dann probieren sie es vielleicht noch ein paarmal — es geht wieder nicht. Aber tatsächlich, wenn man es neunundvierzigmal ungefähr, oder ein anderer neunundsechzigmal probiert hat, das fünfzigste oder siebzigste Mal geht es dann. Denn worum es sich bei all diesen Dingen handelt, das ist ja, daß man sich zuerst eine Art Seelengewohnheit aneignet. Zunächst muß man sich hineinleben in diese Dinge. Seelengewohnheiten sich aneignen. Das ist aber überhaupt etwas, was in der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft, die ja jetzt ein voller Ausdruck der anthroposophischen Bewegung sein soll seit der Weihnachtstagung, sorgfältig beobachtet werden sollte. In der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft ist ja wirklich sehr vieles gegeben worden. Man kann schon einen leisen Schwindel kriegen, wenn man hintereinander alle diese Zyklen stehen sieht, die gedruckt worden sind. Aber trotzdem, immer wieder und wiederum kommen einzelne Menschen, die über das einzelne fragen.
