10. The Supernatural Human Being III

There is another way of seeing the human eye: by looking at it in a mirror. But then one does not have the living essence of this eye before one, one has the image of this eye before one. This comparison fits in with what I want to explain insofar as, through the methods that spiritual science must employ in order to gain insights into the questions to be discussed today, one must, in a sense, place oneself in a position that first shows in image what one experiences as a human being within oneself and in oneself, and that one places one's actual human being in a position that turns what one otherwise has before one as living reality into an image.
