This is pure fantasy. If only people knew that they are basically living under suggestion, that they do not know what is real and what is not real! They do not want to acknowledge the infallibility of the Pope, but they consider themselves infallible. Those who stand on the side of science are the most intolerant today. They regard the spiritual scientist as a fool, and themselves? Well, as infallible human beings! The world that is inaccessible to the senses can only be communicated through thinking that is free of sensuality. Therefore, the first training is the training of thinking, which makes it possible to develop thinking and lead to a real insight into the spiritual worlds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Initiation or Consecration","site_heading":null,"date":"1907-11-28","location":null,"word_count":140,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/56/1907-11-28/p027","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2015","book_title":"Knowledge of Soul and Spirit","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA056/English/eLib2015/19071128p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/56/1907-11-28/p027"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/56/1907-11-28/p027","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.
