And that is what actually makes people today basically stand before the whole world not knowing what to do or how to react. Because actually, gentlemen, the external things that occur today, the increasing misery in the world, which will become much, much stronger in the near future because people absolutely do not want to take in anything spiritual with their thoughts - because first you have to know the matter - this misery comes from the fact that people simply do not want to engage in knowing anything about reality. And one cannot know about reality if one does not respond to the spiritual. In the course of the nineteenth century, it has come about that people have actually only been taught about external things. That they would have grasped something of the soul, of the spiritual, was no longer considered at all. And so people today go around and actually have no idea how the spiritual and soul actually exist in the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lung and Kidney Knowledge","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-07-28","location":null,"word_count":173,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/350/1923-07-28/p015","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Rhythms in the Cosmos and in the Human Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA350/English/SOL2024/19230728p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Und man kann über die Wirklichkeit nichts wissen, wenn man nicht eingeht auf das Geistige. Es ist ja so geworden im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts, daß eigentlich die Menschen nur noch in äußeren Dingen unterrichtet worden sind. Daß sie etwas begriffen hätten von einem Seelischen, von einem Geistigen, darauf ist überhaupt nicht mehr gesehen worden.
