The answer to such objections must be given in the entire series of lectures. It would be reckless to try to give an answer today. I will say only one thing, which should typify how misleading the objections are that are raised against the seemingly obscurantist secret science: While natural science today rightly asserts that the time will come when living beings will be created from inanimate substances, and this research, which has elevated itself to a kind of religion, believes it can thereby refute something that secret science readily demolishes, the truth is that secret science has always known this! Yes, because it knew this, it was able to stand so firm and secure! It is a complete misunderstanding of the true character of secret science to raise such objections against it. The complete answer will emerge in the course of the lectures.
