The Mission of Esoteric Science in Our Time

Why, then, do individuals come forward today and report on the findings of secret science? There are good reasons for this, too. It is connected with the overall spiritual progress of humanity. What everyone can learn today through popular writings based on our ordinary sensory perception is, when applied correctly, good preparation for secret science. On the other hand, it is a complete misjudgment of the facts to believe that our natural science must lead to the denial of the supersensible. Rather, this natural science, correctly understood, leads to the full recognition of the supersensible! Those who correctly absorb and pursue the scientific facts that are accessible to everyone today will enter directly into the sphere of the supersensible and invisible. But those who pursue these scientific truths in a false, erroneous way will arrive at a materialistic world that may not yet be so unnerving to humanity today, but will certainly be so to future humanity. That is why it is necessary today to show everyone the way to make appropriate use of these scientific truths, insofar as they are accessible. In earlier centuries, this was not the case. Everyone had to undergo a long period of preparation in which their thinking skills, logic, and character were trained. Today, scientific thinking, when applied correctly, is already a training ground for understanding what is being published from the secret science. This scientific thinking can be a blessing for humanity.
