The perception of the spiritual in inner mental experience was to me far more certain than the perception of the things of sense; to place boundaries of knowledge before this mental experience was to me quite impossible. I objected with all positiveness to mere feeling as a way into the spiritual. And yet, when I thought of the nature of the mystic's experience, I felt once more a remote kinship between this and my own attitude toward the spiritual world. I sought association with the spirit by means of spirit-illuminated ideas, in the same way as the mystic seeks this through association with the non-ideal. I also could say that my view rests upon “mystical” ideal experience.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":139,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/28/l11/p006","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
