Just as one enjoys the fruits of the field without cultivating it oneself, just as one enjoys the grain without grinding it oneself, so will one spiritually “suck” and “taste” what belongs to the soul through spiritual science. The time will come, even though we are still far from it today, when the mysterious language living in every soul will become active in the soul, so that the spiritual researcher will no longer be a preacher in the desert, but will be able to speak to people in such a way that they will say: What the spiritual researcher says only brings out what is already in all souls. But then the time will come when people will know that there is knowledge about the spiritual world that is not only as certain as natural science, but much, much more certain; and what Fichte sensed will be proven to be scientifically true: Not only can one live in a spiritual world after death, but even here in the physical world one can live in the spiritual world and understand it, indeed, live more truly in the spiritual world than in the physical world. - People will understand that physical existence derives its value, its security, its truthfulness precisely from the understanding of how the soul finds its true essence in the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.
