To come closer and closer to consciously learning to master what one has unconsciously mastered in the first years of childhood! This is indeed something supreme that man prescribes for himself as an ideal: To bring over into conscious life and to let work in a conscious way that which works in the first years of childhood. This is a great ideal, an ideal so great that man can say the following to himself if he thinks seriously about himself.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"42.
