But what we are already developing in ourselves today, and to which we ascribe moral human value, that is the germ of a new earth, the germ of a new world existence. We do not look at the moral value of a person by saying: That is an illusionary bubble that rises — because we see how everything around it, like the leaves of the plant, falls away, and everything else falls away from the earth, but what we carry as the moral value of a person develops as a germ. We only have to overcome such ideas as the prejudice of the constancy of matter, of the constancy of force, these terrible dogmas that natural science has implanted in the 19th century because it had no idea of what man can recognize when he rises to spiritual knowledge and then in itself, in the microcosmic, in the human being: the death of the mineral kingdom, over which triumphs the thought that can only develop by continually dying, just as the new plant germ can only develop by the old plant leaves dying and the germ triumphing over the old plant leaves. Our moral humanity, our moral human value, is the triumphant element in the other realms, in that which belongs to the other realms, in that which perishes in the other realms.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Wir müssen nur solche Vorstellungen überwinden, wie das Vorurteil von der Konstanz der Materie, von der Konstanz der Kraft, diese furchtbaren Dogmen, welche die Naturwissenschaft hereingepflanzt hat im 19. Jahrhundert, weil sie keine Ahnung davon hatte, was der Mensch erkennen kann, wenn er sich zur Geist-Erkenntnis aufschwingt und das dann in sich selber erlebt, im Mikrokosmischen, im Menschlichen: den Tod des mineralischen Reiches, über den triumphiert der Gedanke, der sich nur entwickeln kann, indem wir fortwährend sterben, geradeso wie sich der neue Pflanzenkeim nur entwickeln kann, indem die alten Pflanzenblätter absterben und der Keim über die alten Pflanzenblätter triumphiert.
