In the future, spiritual research into the values of human life will advance in the same way as the physical sciences do in their own field. Spiritual science still appears to many to be a fantasy because they shrink from the strict mental work and mental discipline it demands. Many would like to arrive at spiritual science by easier means than are possible. They do not want to take the difficult step, which consists in a further development of consciousness. The progress of chemistry can be utilized without being a chemist; in the same way the results of spiritual research can be appropriated. And even if one cannot engage in spiritual research oneself, one should at least endeavor to cast aside one's prejudices. But many would like to arrive at spiritual science by a more comfortable route than by overcoming their prejudices, and then use it primarily for their own benefit in life. Misunderstanding of spiritual science is the result of such an attitude.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Das geistige Erforschen der menschlichen Lebenswerte wird in Zukunft so vorwärts schreiten, wie es die physischen Wissenschaften auf ihrem Gebiete tun. Geisteswissenschaft erscheint noch vielen als Phantasterei, weil man vor der strengen Denkarbeit und seelischen Zucht zurückschreckt, die sie verlangt. So gern möchten viele auf bequemere Weise zur Geisteswissenschaft kommen, als es sein kann. Man möchte eben den schwierigen Schritt nicht vollziehen, der da besteht in einer Fortentwickelung des Bewußtseins. Die Fortschritte der Chemie kann man sich zunutze machen, ohne selbst ein Chemiker zu sein; so kann man sich auch die Ergebnisse der Geistesforschung aneignen. Und wenn man auch selber nicht zum geistigen Forschen gelangen kann, sollte man wenigstens danach streben, die Vorurteile wegzuräumen. Aber auf bequemerem Wege als durch Wegräumen der Vorurteile möchten viele zur Geisteswissenschaft kommen und sie vor allem zum Nutzen im Leben verwenden.
