With this we have been able to form certain concepts and ideas about “development” in general, about the way in which the contrast of advancing and holding back is produced by beings who reach their stage of development and those who do not - and how development is made possible by this. In this way one can understand the whole universe in its development. But one must also understand what is revealed to the clairvoyant eye in the spiritual worlds. By opening the spiritual eye, the spiritual ear to the spiritual world through some kind of exercises, one has only achieved that one sees what is there, that one can perceive the entities and knows: There are spiritual entities of the astral plan or the devachanic plan. But it takes something else to recognize what kind of beings these entities are.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"43.

Damit haben wir uns gewisse Begriffe und Ideen machen können über «Entwicklung» überhaupt, über die Art, wie durch Wesenheiten, die ihre Entwicklungsstufe erreichen, und solche, die sie nicht erreichen, der Gegensatz des Vorwärtsschreitens und des Zurückhaltens erzeugt wird- und wie dadurch die Entwicklung möglich wird. So kann man das ganze Weltall in seiner Entwicklung begreifen. Man muss aber auch das begreifen, was sich dem hellseherischen Blick in den geistigen Welten zeigt. Dadurch, dass man durch irgendwelche Übungen das geistige Auge, das geistige Ohr geöffnet hat, geöffnet hat gegenüber der geistigen Welt, hat man nur das erreicht, dass man sieht, was da ist, dass man die Wesenheiten wahrnehmen kann und weiß: Da sind geistige Wesenheiten des Astralplanes oder des Devachanplanes.
