In today's introductory lecture, we were only able to explain what underlies secret science as a mindset and as a challenge, and what constitutes its mission as a secret teaching. As you have seen, secret science does not indulge in any illusions, either about its followers or its opponents. It must transcend all illusions. In this way, it gives people great harmonious health in all respects. This is the attitude that underlies the individual truths in question. This attitude is what really matters. What does this attitude achieve when it is combined with real secret research? The winter lectures will show this; today's lecture was only meant to be a kind of announcement, a kind of program.
