By denying the spiritual world; in this way they push the spiritual world down, so that materialists and monists have a fear of the spiritual world in the depths of their souls and thereby numb themselves in their materialism. [It is] a very strange phenomenon, but it is true that materialism is based on unrecognized, unnamed fear. Certainly, it is uncomfortable when the soul expert claims, when such statements are made in a monist gathering, as is currently the case, that this is [therefore] because the professed believers are tormented by fear and anxiety. Materialism and fear-mongering present themselves in this way to real observation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.
