Nature Spirits

Based on knowledge attained through his highly-trained clairvoyance, Steiner describes how people possessed a natural spiritual vision in ancient times, enabling them to commune with nature spirits. Today, says Steiner, the instinctive understanding that humanity once had for these elemental beings should be transformed into clear scientific knowledge. He even asserts that humanity will not be able to reconnect with the spiritual world if it cannot develop a new relationship to the elementals.
