Today, we only have a knowledge of the externalities of human development. No attention is paid to the state of the soul. For example, no attention is paid to the state of the soul of people who have stood in the ancient oriental wisdom, of which only decadent forms still live in the Orient today. Basically, people have no idea how different the souls were in the world in those days. People in those days, just like us, saw the nature around them with their senses; they also combined in a certain way what they saw of nature with their minds. But they did not feel as separate from the nature around them as people today feel. They felt a spiritual soul within themselves. They felt that the human physical organization was filled with a spiritual soul. But they also felt a spiritual soul in lightning and thunder, in the passing clouds, in minerals, in plants, and in animals. They felt that which they suspected within themselves also outside in nature, in the whole universe. The whole universe was permeated by spiritual soul for them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Man hat im Grunde genommen gar keine Vorstellung davon, wie anders die Seelen dazumal in der Welt gestanden haben. Die Menschen sahen dazumal, geradeso wie wir, mit ihren Sinnen die sie umgebende Natur; sie kombinierten in einer gewissen Weise auch dasjenige, was sie von der Natur sahen, mit ihrem Verstande. Allein sie fühlten sich nicht so getrennt von der sie umgebenden Natur, wie sich die Menschen heute fühlen. Sie fühlten in sich ein Geistig-Seelisches. Sie fühlten diese menschliche Leibesorganisation erfüllt von einem Geistig-Seelischen. Aber sie fühlten ein Geistig-Seelisches auch in Blitz und Donner, in den dahinziehenden Wolken, im Mineral, in der Pflanze, im Tier.
