But in a very similar way, if we look at things seriously and truly, we also find that the Old Testament, at least its most important document, the writings of Moses, is based on something similar. We find that the whole mission of Moses, the whole power of Moses, through which he accomplished tremendous things for his people, is also based on a supersensible event; as we had to say the day before yesterday, that when the spiritual researcher develops himself so that he becomes clairvoyant in the spiritual world and can look into the spiritual background of things, he then sees what are facts of the spiritual world in images, in imaginations. Yes, one can also express the processes that take place within oneself when one ascends in this way into the spiritual realms only in images, but it must be clear that the one who speaks in such images does not want to speak about the images as such, but means that in these images one has the means of expression for one's supersensible experiences.
