When a medical student is about twenty the most favourable conditions obtain for this kind of knowledge. In the thirties one loses this gift; it becomes harder to enter into these things. But it is possible to educate and train oneself to enter into such intuitive knowledge. In spite of the devastating routine of the intermediate and later states of our university education, it is possible (by means of a return to the forces active in childhood) to train this insight into the human being. But if organised medical study attached due weight to the more intimate aspects of plastic anatomy and physiology, it would be of immense assistance in the whole treatment of mankind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XVIII","site_heading":"Primary Causes of Disease: Rhythmic Disturbance and Cosmic Influences","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Man kann sich erziehen, sehr stark selbst trainieren, um sich in solche Intuitionen hineinzuversetzen.
