“Is this eternal life not as enigmatic as our present one? The solution of the riddle of life in space and time lies outside space and time.
(It is not problems of natural science which have to be solved.)
6.432 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
How the world is, is completely indifferent for what is higher. God does not reveal himself in the world.
6.4321 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
The facts all belong only to the task and not to its performance.
6.44 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
Not how the world is, is the mystical, but that it is.”
