10. Between Death and Rebirth of the Human Being

One can say: in human beings there is the eternal, immortal core of the soul. But in the life between birth and death, it is initially used in such a way that it is absorbed in the activities of the physical body. However, with regard to the present time, one can say: we are in a transitional period in which human beings will gain a new relationship to the body, where they will also hasten toward a strengthened inner life of the body. That is why spiritual science feels it has a duty to communicate what it explores, because the soul develops from life to life in such a way that it becomes more and more inwardly formed and, as it rushes toward the future, will recognize what is said today as necessary knowledge without which it will not be able to live in its entire constitution; and then, through a return to a natural clairvoyant state, what has now been pointed out will become explainable.
