So today I wanted to describe to you in broad strokes the relationship of the human being to his environment, how he stands in relation to food and the realms surrounding him. Those who continue to attend this or that lecture here will see that individual questions can also be addressed on other occasions. This lecture will also have shown you that Spiritual Science is something that also has an effect on the most material needs of life. Spiritual Science is something that can be an ideal for the future of humanity. Today, when we see how substances combine and separate in the human being, we often say: it is like in a retort, and we believe that we can find something healing for human beings in it. But a time will come when what has been said about light and the astral body will also be evident to those who conduct research in the laboratory. Can't someone also make the usual chemical observations when they tell themselves that here, in the smallest detail, the greatest thing is at work, which permeates the external physical sunlight and shines into the spiritual realm of human consciousness? Thus, these things will be investigated in the light that gives us an overview of the whole.
