Today I do not want to prove anything to you, but rather tell you how secret science presents itself in our time. Its subject matter, the basis on which it rests, is completely unknown in the widest circles. It is unknown that there have always been individuals in human development who have devoted themselves most seriously to this secret science, who knew from their own experience the experiences that can be had in the supersensible world, for whom what we present in such lectures was personal experience. It is also unknown that even today there are people who can look into the spiritual world in this way.
