If we look at our present time, it speaks in many ways of the subconscious or unconscious that surges and swirls in the human spirit and soul. But most of our contemporaries leave this unconscious unconscious. In the past, it was said of those who gave themselves over to a certain mood of the soul that they let God be a good man, meaning they did not concern themselves with him. Today, it can be said of most people who talk about the unconscious that they let the unconscious be the unconscious; they do not concern themselves with it any further. In contrast, anthroposophical spiritual knowledge has the task of bringing this unconscious to the surface, bringing it together with the superconscious, and grasping that which lives directly in the human being as spiritual-soul, in its connection with the higher spiritual.
