Today we have a wonderful field of research that shines a light into the smallest organs of beings. There we find very significant small organs. The research methods are admirable, through which one is able to prove something in plants that imitates the human soul organs. It is proven that there are faceted organs that form the eye. Yes, they even photograph images that arise in the plant eyes, and from this it is concluded – nothing is to be disparaged about the wonderful research method, but only the conclusion is to be put into the right perspective – it is concluded: because it can be observed in this way, the plant must be ensouled in a similar way to animals and humans. One sees certain plants that draw insects through their organs and consume them. They develop a certain digestive activity; they attract insects and, as it were, digest them. And the conclusions that are drawn from this are very likely to blur the difference, which must not be blurred, between plants, animals and humans.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"49.

Die Forschungsmethoden sind bewunderungswert, durch die man imstande ist, an Pflanzen etwas nachzuweisen, was die menschlichen Seelenorgane nachahmt. Man weist nach, dass facettenartige Organe da sind, die das Auge bilden. Ja, man fotografiert sogar Bilder, die da entstehen in den Pflanzenaugen, und daraus wird geschlossen — es soll nichts verunglimpft werden an der wunderbaren Forschungsmethode, aber es soll nur die Schlussfolgerung ins rechte Licht gesetzt werden —, da wird geschlossen: Weil das so beobachtet werden kann, so müsse die Pflanze in ähnlicher Weise beseelt sein wie Tier und Mensch. Man sieht gewisse Pflanzen, welche durch ihre Organe Insekten heranziehen und sie verzehren. Eine gewisse Fresstätigkeit, Sinnestätigkeit entwickeln sie; sie ziehen Insekten an und verdauen sie gleichsam.
