With regard to Paul, theologians also emphasize that he spoke from an elementary primal force. Simplicity and simplicity are two different things. One person speaks simply because he is a simple person who has nothing more to give. Another kind of simplicity is that of a wise man who has regained it after penetrating into all the depths of wisdom and thereby retaining simplicity. In the end, at the goal, all wisdom is transformed into simplicity; in the end, one speaks simply. This second way of speaking has a magical power. See for yourself. Read Clemens of Alexandria or Origenes – only someone who knows things that are not of this world speaks like that. And they have the higher knowledge they learned in the secret schools to thank for that; there you learn to speak plainly. Now man is filled with the magic power that fills head and heart with spiritual life, with the fire of the spirit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"11.

Auch in Bezug auf Paulus wird von theologischer Seite betont, dass er aus einer elementaren Urkraft heraus geredet habe. Schlichtheit und Schlichtheit ist zweierlei. Der eine redet schlicht, weil er selbst ein schlichter Mensch ist, der nicht mehr zu geben hat. Eine andere Schlichtheit ist die eines Weisen, der sie sich wiedererrungen hat, nachdem er in alle Tiefen der Weisheit eingedrungen ist und sich dabei die Schlichtheit bewahrt hat. Am Schluss, am Ziel verwandelt sich die ganze Weisheit in Schlichtheit, schließlich redet man schlicht. Diese zweite Weise zu reden hat eine magische Kraft. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst. Lesen Sie Clemens von Alexandrien oder Origenes — so redet nur der, welcher die Dinge kennt, die nicht aus dieser Welt sind. Und das haben sie dem höheren Wissen zu verdanken, das sie in den Geheimschulen gelernt hatten; da lernt man schlicht sprechen.
