Das wirkliche Erleben im Geistig-Seelischen wird dadurch erreicht; eine neue Welt der Beobachtung wird dadurch gegeben, und von diesen elementaren Tatsachen des geistigen Erlebens aus steigen wir dann bis zu den höchsten Tatsachen hinauf. Nun gibt es solche einzelne Menschen, die entsagungsvolle Übungen machen, um ihre Seele selber zu einem Werkzeug zu gestalten. Wenn diese dann vor einen kleinen Kreis von Menschen treten, der sich interessiert für solche Sachen, und ihnen erzählen, was sie in anderen Bewußtseinszuständen erfahren haben, dann glauben diese es. Bei demjenigen, der sich nur oberflächlich bekannt macht mit der Geistesströmung der Theosophie, ist es durchaus begreiflich, wenn er das glaubt, denn wenn man nur das kennt, was an der Oberfläche des Lebens vorhanden ist, ist es außerordentlich schwierig, sich eine Vorstellung zu bilden von der Art, wie diese Geistesströmung betrieben wird. Daher ist es durchaus begreiflich, wenn sie in den weitesten Kreisen verkannt wird. Das muß betont werden. Begreiflich ist es, daß solche Menschen nur den Offenbarungen aus der Geisteswelt glauben, die auf die geschilderte Weise gewonnen sind. Daß solche Menschen Phantasten, Träumer, Schwärmer, Sektierer sind, das zu glauben ist etwas ungeheuer Naheliegendes, und man möchte sagen, für die Mehrzahl der Gebildeten der Gegenwart etwas geradezu Selbstverständliches. Nur verkennt man eine ganz bestimmte Tatsache: Zum Forschen in der Geisteswelt, zum Aufsuchen der geistigen Wahrheiten gehört die entwickelte Seele, das entwickelte andere Bewußtsein.
