The finest form of human community is when people nurture each other's soul development

Rudolf Steiner:  "Supersensible knowledge, therefore — although we make such a statement reluctantly, because one seems at once to fall into sentimentality — is really not a mere understanding but an ensouling of the human being. It is soul itself, soul content, which enters into us when we penetrate to this supersensible knowledge. We become aware of our eternity, our immortality, by no means through the solution of a philosophical problem: we become aware of them through immediate experience, just as we become aware of external things in immediate experience through our senses. What I have thus described is exposed, of course, to the objection: “To be sure, one may speak in this way, perhaps, who participates in such supersensible knowledge; but what shall anyone say to these things who is himself not as yet a participant in this supersensible knowledge?” Well, the finest form of human community is when people nurture each other's soul development. This is precisely the way in which the human community is most wonderfully established."
