It is fair to say that the time has already come for every thinking soul, and it will come more and more – only the short-sighted can disagree on this point – the time has come and will come more and more when souls will feel uneasy when they have to realize: Yes, the true home of the soul, that which must be called the spiritual world, is something that must arise in the imagination of every loving heart, but that which we value as science, that which the best of our contemporaries say is alone entitled to establish the truth, either turns away from any exploration of the supersensible worlds, or at least presumes to say that human cognitive ability is so limited, so restricted, that it cannot penetrate the supersensible world, and that therefore all knowledge, all insight into this world must be left aside.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.
