Here we encounter something that is often expressed, but which we must understand correctly. Our time has been called a transitional period. But it is not important that it is called that; what is important is what our time actually has to seek in its transition. What does it have to seek? It has to seek the transition from passive devotion to purely sensory science, where the soul cannot find its true essence, to spiritual science, where it can find it. We can become aware of this when we see that at the beginning of our religious document of the West there is an image; we do not want to discuss the image here, you can take it as you will, but one thing will be clear to everyone: that it is connected with good and evil.

Da tritt einem etwas entgegen, was oft ausgesprochen wird, was man aber nur richtig verstehen muss. Eine Übergangszeit hat man unsere Zeit genannt. Darauf kommt es aber nicht an, dass man sie so nennt, sondern darauf kommt es an, worin unsere Zeit denn eigentlich ihren Übergang zu suchen hat. Worin hat sie ihn zu suchen? Sie hat den Übergang zu suchen von dem passiven Hingegebensein an die rein sinnliche Wissenschaft, wo die Seele ihre wahre Wesenheit nicht finden kann, zur Geisteswissenschaft, wo sie sie finden kann. Aufmerksam werden kann man darauf, dass am Beginn unserer religiösen Urkunde des Abendlandes ein Bild steht; wir wollen das Bild hier nicht erörtern, man mag es nehmen, wie man will, eines aber wird einem jeden klar sein: dass es zusammenhängt mit dem Guten und dem Bösen.
