Now man still sits and senses this or that — he may be a poet, an artist — and says: I feel my genius within me! Certainly, this will continue for a while. But this mood will disappear, it will disappear completely. For that mood will arise when people will say: I had a certain hour when an ethereal being appeared to me and told me this or that. I am the instrument through which this spiritual being works in this world! — More and more, the spiritual world must become a conscious reality.
