One learns about what lies before human conception and, through this, about the eternal. By being able to view thinking as that which breaks down what comes from the father and mother, which presupposes the devolution of what is developing, one learns how life here in the body is the consequence of the eternal in the human being. In the future, the way of looking at things that was otherwise common, even if only in religious beliefs, will be joined by another that will not merely ask: What happens to human beings after death? but will add the other question: From what state of spiritual-soul life does the human being emerge by leading his earthly life here? The question of immortality will be even more important in the future, because people will come to realize that life here can only be understood as a continuation of spiritual and soul life. And the first thing one discovers as an unconscious inspiration that constantly enters into life is thinking, which is built up on the basis of regression.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.
