That is why some mystics are like that. They believe that by constantly emphasizing, they look into the soul and find all kinds of things in it, which they then often characterize with lofty words that they think they find in the soul. But what one has once absorbed in this way in the soul does not always have to come up in the same way. It can also change. And when someone talks about all kinds of great opportunities and experiences that he claims to have had himself, it may just be the transformed tones of the melody of the barrel organ that he heard decades ago. Please excuse this comparison, but I hope I am being understood.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Daher ist es auch bei manchen Mystikern so. Sie glauben, indem sie immerfort betonen, sie schauen in das Innere der Seele und finden in diesem Inneren der Seele allerlei, das sie dann mit erhabenen Worten oftmals charakterisieren, von dem sie meinen, dass sie es im Innern der Seele finden. Aber dasjenige, was man einmal in dieser Weise in der Seele aufgenommen hat, es braucht nicht immer in derselben Weise heraufzukommen. Es kann sich auch umwandeln. Und bei manchem, der von allerlei großen Gelegenheiten erzählt, Erfahrungen, die er selber gemacht haben will, und darüber redet, sind es nur die umgewandelten Töne der Melodie der Drehorgel, die er vor Jahrzehnten gehört hat.
