This outwardly directed experience of natural appearances individualizes itself with regard to the farm as a whole. Only in the intimacy of feeling does the concept of the closedness of the agricultural organism come alive. When feeling itself becomes an organ of deeper nature-experience, one walks a solitary path — yet on a beaten track. What one feels is given in advance, has taken on sense-perceptible form. It is otherwise in the relationship of human being to human being. There the given meaning of natural law is absent. In human togetherness, the individual feeling of the one encounters the individual feeling of the other. On the same soul-level, this relationship is shaped by all the facets of sympathy and antipathy, of affirmation and denial, of beauty or ugliness, and so on. With all this wealth of facets, one must acknowledge that this or that manner of feeling is an objective fact — and that one must help feeling, through the force of thinking and willing, to find its point of equilibrium, and so awaken the sense of truth. It is this heart-felt sensing that recognizes in the other human being one's equal, that creates the trust from person to person and with it the ground for the sense of right. Reality-related thinking illuminates the sense of right between human beings and condenses it into agreements and laws. In purified willing it kindles initiative — the love of the deed. In trust lives the social consensus; it transforms the contradictory inequality in soul-experience into the consciousness of the dignity of equality before the law. Trust builds on what is past and looks without reservation toward what is to come.
