I must emphasize one more thing, and that is that it is not permissible to drag this sublime phenomenon, which stands alone in the world, down into the materialistic worldview; that the path to understanding the founder of Christianity does not lie in the regions where there are only “simple people,” where there are only ideals, but that it must lead up to where the high Christ Spirit itself is. And that is what the first Christians did; they wanted to follow this path in order to understand the living Word.
