The Invisible Elements of Human Nature and Practical Life

This can be pointed out especially today. Let us briefly consider the invisible members of human nature. Spiritual Science speaks of these invisible members of human nature, but not as something that is an appendage to the visible, but rather as the spiritual, the creative force behind the visible. An almost obvious example is the following: Everyone, even those who cannot look into the workshop of spiritual life, should keep reminding themselves so that they learn to believe that the supersensible is the basis of the sensible, of feelings of shame and fear. What are they? Undoubtedly, for those who do not think in a complicated way, they are soul experiences. We must say that something is there that threatens us; the soul feels threatened. This is expressed in feelings of fear and dread. Certainly, we could cite various physical mediations. That would be easy, of course, and the modern researcher would hardly be able to cite anything that the spiritual scientist did not already know. But what matters is that the blood is pushed back from the surface of the body to the center.
