But these same enlightened people participate in many different kinds of meetings as well, where destinies are determined. At these meetings they are no shrewder than they were at the other ... and so one cannot help wondering what kind of people are ruling the world to-day! The hostility to Anthroposophy is really hostility to truth. People are determined not to allow these things to come into the open. So they say that Anthroposophy is very secret. But how, I ask you, how can it be anything else? There is, in reality, no greater secrecy about it than there is when a man has stolen something and bidden it; until it is found it is secret. Anthroposophy is secret in the same sense—because it has been cast into obscurity by science and the other branches of cultural life. That is why Anthroposophy seems to suggest a kind of secrecy. But it ceases to be secret the moment it is found! Anthroposophy has no desire at all to be mysterious but to bring into the light of day things that have been obscured and hidden by other influences. ... Now I have to travel to Vienna and I will let you know when we can continue these lectures.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Also seien Sie sich klar darüber, daß die Gegnerschaft gegen Anthroposophie eine wirkliche Gegnerschaft gegen die Wahrheit ist. Man will es nicht an den Tag kommen lassen, was in diesen Dingen eigentlich steckt, was alles herauskommt an Dingen über den Menschen. Man sagt: Die Anthroposophie, die ist etwas Geheimnisvolles. — Ja, meine Herren, wie soll sie denn etwas anderes sein, als etwas Geheimnisvolles? Selbstverständlich ist sie etwas Geheimnisvolles, aber sie ist nichts Geheimnisvolleres als es etwas Geheimnisvolles ist, wenn einem einer etwas gestohlen hat und versteckt hat; da ist das, bis man es aufgefunden hat, geheimnisvoll. So ist auch die Anthroposophie geheimnisvoll, weil die Wissenschaft und das andere geistige Leben diese Dinge versteckt hat; deshalb ist natürlich die Anthroposophie heute etwas so Geheimnisvolles. Aber es hört ja auf, geheimnisvoll zu sein in dem Moment, wo man es gefunden hat!
