XI. Before the Door of the Spiritual Soul

At the time during which the Spiritual Soul was making its way into Man's evolution earth, the beings of the spirit-world nearest to earth-life had difficulty in approaching mankind. Events on earth take place in a form which shows that quite peculiar conditions are needed in order to make the way possible from the spirit into the physical life of Man. The very form they take shows on the other hand still, and often in a most illuminating manner, with what energy—where Powers of the Past are active and Powers of the Future beginning to act—one spiritual force strives against another spiritual force, to find entry into mankind's earthly life.
