This scene is one of those in my Mysteries where it is intended to show how, in the ordinary fullness of life and in ordinary cognition, not only abstract soul processes take place in the human being, but how soul processes take place in the human being that change his entire relationship to the outer world, change it in the way that growing conditions, that is, real processes of becoming, change it. The fact that one is compelled to present such things, which thus present something quite real spiritually in the human being, means that one must present the human being's relationship to the world in a more intimate way than is otherwise the case in realistic drama. After all, you can't explain a compass needle, for example, just by looking at it; you have to explain it by relating it to the whole of the earth's magnetism. In the same way, we have to relate the human being to the whole spiritual world. We cannot do this by means of abstract laws; we have to enter into the concrete and pictorial. We have to present natural processes in such a way that they also represent a moral development.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"33.
