Steiner, a sketch by an unknown author
Want some advice? Well. My advice: Do what you want! VM
Lakhsmi
are saying we do not disclose the esoteric knowledge, but we will take into account the materialism of the age. The esoteric left, then, in a well-founded empirical thesis. If we look at how they currently received esoteric knowledge, understanding and sympathy we feel for those who, at that time, opposed disclosure. Again and again, such disclosure becomes calamitous, and the same people who receive esoteric knowledge, raise obstacles and hindrances against their spread. Still not considered enough, these hindrances and obstacles.
Indeed, we have the most terrible experiences when it comes to dissemination of esoteric knowledge. Even when you have the best intentions to help the individual, are calamities, even the most basic things. Many times it happens that is given to an individual this or that board, but the council does not like! While the occult gives advice like, can generally have defense, but when he gives advice and do not like, no one accepts them. And they say the parties: "If you give me other tips, I can not myself."
This comes to threats when in fact all he did was tell the occult it would be beneficial to that individual. But as he will receive anything other than say, "I have waited long enough, so now tell me what it is." I told him a long time, but that does not like! That will lead to progressive detachment, until those who were once the most fervent supporters, they become the bitterest enemies, because they expect advice tailored to your wishes, and when they receive others become bitter enemies.
Thus it is our time shows that we can not easily condemn esotericists they said not to accept the "popularization" of hidden truths.
And so, in the mid-nineteenth century, was never carried out such a popularization, but wanted to take into account the materialistic tendencies of the time. It is difficult to express what I have to say I can only encrypt it in words that were never uttered in that way but they are true. At that time the esoteric said: "what to do with the humanity! As much as I lectured them about the true teachings of esotericism, but make fun of me and you. Perhaps it will convince some gullible, a handful of gullible women, few men credulous; but those who appreciate science is not convinced. You must have the inclinations of the day. "
