Initiation or Consecration

But does that mean it is unnecessary to talk about these things? No, it is not unnecessary, for in what sense does the one who communicates about such higher worlds speak? He speaks about them because he knows that purely through these communications, purely through this knowledge, the abilities and powers that lie dormant in all human beings can be awakened in order to truly penetrate these worlds. And those who resist receiving knowledge of these worlds are like those who once resisted participating in the development from the stage of human organization where no eyes had yet developed to the emergence of these organs with which humans can see the sun. They could also have said: Why should I allow something to develop so that I can recognize the sun and the light? Before that, he did not know the sun and light. Only through an external force that approaches us can the inner germ in human beings develop. Only when we can freely open our souls to the messages about the higher worlds do we receive the first impetus to develop the higher powers that ultimately make us seers, initiates.
