I do not think anyone can say I have ever spoken about the same theme in exactly the same way. When you speak from the spirit, your concern is to create something immediate. It is not at all possible in the normal sense to memorize what comes from the spirit, because it must continuously develop in direct contact with life. For those who are active out of the spirit, the simple memorization of spiritual knowledge is about the same as if someone were to say, “I am not going to eat today because I ate yesterday; why should I eat again today? My body will continue simply on the basis of what I ate yesterday.” Yes, our physical organism is such that it continuously renews itself. This is also true for the spirit. The spirit must also be within this vigorous life. The true spirit must at all times be a creator. In the same way, education carried by the spirit must be a continuously creative art.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Warum soll ich heute wieder essen? Mein Leib wird sich schon auf Grund dessen aufbauen, was ich vorgestern gegessen habe. — Ja, unser physischer Organismus ist in der fortwährenden Lage, daß er sich immer erneuert.
