Only gradually, in the post-Atlantean period, did the gate close, so to speak, to the divine-spiritual world, which during the Atlantean period was still completely open to the human soul. And in the various countries, among the various peoples, it was felt how man became more and more dependent on himself - just like the child. First the divine-spiritual world enters through the unconscious soul of the child, which creates in the child; then comes the moment when man learns to say “I” to himself, up to which he then remembers himself in later life; but before that lies a time which one does not normally remember in everyday life. There lies that of which we have said that the wisest can still learn from the soul of the child.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"43.

Erst ragt die göttlich-geistige Welt herein durch die unbewusste Seele des Kindes, die am Kinde schafft; dann kommt der Augenblick, wo der Mensch zu sich «Ich» sagen lernt, bis zu dem er sich dann im späteren Leben zurückerinnert; vorher aber liegt eine Zeit, an die man sich normalerweise im alltäglichen Leben nicht zurückerinnert.
