Anyone who hears about anthroposophical spiritual science today, as it is meant in these considerations, very often forms the opinion, based on what they hear about it, that they are dealing with something that wants to insert itself into contemporary spiritual life in a sectarian or similar way. Especially since the construction of the building in Dornach near Basel was begun to cultivate this spiritual scientific direction, both this building and the whole of spiritual science have been fitted into the template — and templates are so necessary today — of a sectarian spiritual movement. And it is difficult to do anything about such prejudices. They become more and more entrenched, and I am almost tempted to say: the more you try to fight them, the more intense they become and the stronger they grow.
