Nature Destroys; Soul Morally Lives
- Rudolf Steiner highlights that natural laws only destroy the human body, never build it up.
- This duality between nature’s destructive power and the soul’s moral life underlies human striving for spiritual knowledge.
Morality Originates Within Soul
- Moral laws cannot be derived from nature but must be experienced within the soul.
- True morality arises when these spiritual principles are obeyed freely, not by external compulsion.
Life’s Riddles Stem From Human Duality
- Life’s riddles arise from the opposition between the physical body’s destruction and the soul’s ephemeral moral life.
- Most people live with subconscious awareness of this conflict shaping their higher aspirations and uncertainties.
