This image of the sense of touch can be applied to the spiritual experience that must occur in the spiritual researcher. Faced with such limits of knowledge, he allows them to live out in his soul, allowing them to have their own validity. Then it is as if the inner life does not encounter a physical outer world, but rather a spiritual world, and a spiritual sense of touch really develops, then differentiates further and wants to become what, in a figurative sense, Goethe called the eyes and ears of the spirit. However, there is a long way from dealing with such borderline questions of cognition to what I have called seeing consciousness in my book “The Riddle of Man.” But this seeing consciousness can be developed. That is one thing to consider.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.
