This can be observed in Herder's “Ideas for a Philosophy of the History of Mankind”, the most beautiful primer of theosophy, whose ideas Goethe, Schiller, Novalis and Schlegel absorbed. Of this work, Goethe could say: This is the most beautiful way in which ideas continue to have an effect in life, although one so easily forgets their origin. And with the great ideals of the spiritual leaders of humanity, forms are also formed. The geniuses of humanity transform human beings in their most everyday activities. To rise to the ideals, we must absorb the spiritual creation within us; we must revere that which rises above the everyday.
