  • Another objection which Dr Rittelmeyer expressed took me quite by surprise, I must admit, but this is the way it’s going to happen. The objection is that people feel insulted when, instead of something being pointed out as within them, they are made aware of what individuals perhaps know, what individuals have seen. People feel, they expressed it as ‘their human kingdoms having been stolen’, they had felt great and now they must feel small. — Yes, I must admit, this objection surprised me because I don’t really understand its content. Isn’t it true, what is said consequently in the letter, that people expect something to happen from above, but now they feel thrown back on to themselves, on to exercises they need to do, on to efforts needed to understand something. — I initially feel an extraordinary contradiction between both these allegations. Secondly, I must add this: my whole life I have been — and it has been already quite long — extremely glad if a truth appears somewhere, and I actually find it disturbing when someone rejects the truth, because it has not grown out of their own soil. This is quite an egotistical subjective judgement, but we are stuck in such egotistical subjective judgements, and as a result we need a renewal of thinking in our current time, because it exists.
