Then comes the time when one breaks free from the mere strengthened inner life, where it is as if beings gradually emerge from the spiritual world, beings that are as adapted to the spiritual world as the beings of the physical world — minerals, plants, animals, and physical human beings — are adapted to this sensory physical world. This means that one lives out of oneself and into a spiritual world. One lives into a spiritual environment in such a way that one now has a completely different feeling towards it than one has towards the physical world of the senses. I would have to cite many examples to characterize this completely different feeling, but I would like to cite just one that is particularly striking.
