Experience shows: the goal as conceived in ideas is stretched unattainably far into the future, and the capacities to do justice to this goal — both individually and in community — run quickly up against their limits. Recognizing and consciously living through this discrepancy generates, in the spiritual-soul dimension, a field of tension that does not allow the consciously striving person to rest — not even for a moment — or, in the face of obstacles, failures and the like, to settle for whatever solutions happen to be at hand. If one does not experience oneself with full force within this polarity of spiritual aim and the sense-bound world of fact, the striving force grows lame; the shared willing threatens to collapse into banality; the everyday business exhausts itself in routine completion; and what could have become development sinks into stagnation and regression.
