Human souls had to go through their earlier earthly lives; now they are maturing and becoming ever more mature in order to develop the powers that lead to spiritual research. But when one lives this spiritual research, one feels in harmony with what people have always expressed, even before its existence, what the leading spirits of human development have expressed from the deepest intuitions, the most mature part of their souls. Two sayings can be quoted that are in harmony with what has been said here today.
