It is not enough to go on reading and reading and reading and putting together things you have read; you need to go further in your own thinking and use the means suggested by the very nature of things themselves to draw connections between them. But in doing that, you are also doing something else: You're making a real effort, and the result of this effort is that your soul becomes independent. However, this takes work, real work. I have to emphasize again and again that it is not through passively giving ourselves up to something, but through using our own soul forces to grapple with it actively, that we begin to separate the spiritual world from the physical world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Aber indem man das tut, tut man noch etwas: Man strengt sich wirklich an, und diese Anstrengung hat einen Erfolg, nämlich den Erfolg, daß die Seele selbständig gemacht wird, daß man wirklich jetzt durch eigene innere Anstrengung den Weg findet, die Seele selbständig zu machen.
