When the human being directs all the force of his reason toward himself as a thinking being, he finds within himself the means and ways that lead him out of the stasis of the materialist worldview. He awakens to the consciousness that he himself — called forth from the spiritual primordial beginnings — is the bearer of development, and is to become ever more so; that within himself, through the soul forces of thinking, feeling and willing, he can cultivate higher soul organs of cognition and, with their help, school himself toward higher intuitive beholding. These enable him, in free self-determination, to take his own future — and the future of his fellow creation — into his own hands. Signs of this kind are dawning everywhere. And yet: the question of the being of substance in all its forms of appearance — in lifeless nature, in the life of plants, in the ensoulment of animals, and in the spirit or I-organisation of the human being — is not yet being asked in this sense.
