Rudolf Steiner: "We can understand the part sensory experience plays in human nature when we remember that, to enter the supersensory worlds with supersensory consciousness, we must strengthen precisely those soul powers that we can acquire only in the sensory world. When its powers have not been strengthened in this way, the soul feels a certain dread of entering the supersensory world. To escape having to make such an entry, the soul will even search for 'proofs' to establish that entry is, in fact, impossible."
Rudolf Steiner: "Too often we philosophize and theorize too much about self-knowledge. This diverts the soul's gaze away from the seriousness connected with the question of self-knowledge."
