Spiritual science slowly and gradually makes someone a different person
On July 31, 2023 By Ridzerd
It is through spiritual science that human knowledge becomes serious, and people shy away from it. They also want spiritual science only as something that ripples on the surface of existence. That it goes to the core and essence of the human being, that is what people fear. That is why they do not want to accept spiritual science. If they were to accept spiritual science, then many things in social life, in historical life, would have to change in the very near future, then people would have to think differently in their most everyday life. And that is what matters.
That is why it is possible to take up other sciences, but one remains the same throughout life, one only becomes richer in knowledge. Spiritual science should not be absorbed without transforming you, and it cannot be absorbed without transforming you. It slowly and gradually makes you a different person. You have to be patient, but it makes you a different person, because it appeals to quite different human tasks, and it appeals to quite different things in human nature.
