			In order to be able to assume responsibility out of [[individual]] [[freedom]], completely independent of any externally given rule, the capacity for [[moral intuition]] is necessary, as already described in detail by [[Rudolf Steiner]] in his "[[Philosophy of Freedom]]".

			A sense of responsibility is an absolute prerequisite for any kind of spiritual training:

			{{GZ\|Throughout all phases of his existence on earth, man is bound up in his karma, which he cannot possibly escape, for the consequences of his will, feeling and thinking, and especially of his deeds, follow him irrevocably through all his incarnations, whether sooner or later. The guilt he has incurred must be redeemed on this earth, depending on the circumstances in which he is placed by his incarnation. Divine guidance takes care of this. Before man himself takes his development into his own hands, everything proceeds according to regulated laws which cannot be accelerated by anything. When he enters an esoteric training, something quite different happens to him. He frees himself from the guidance, he takes his development into his own hands, he becomes qualitatively a different person. Through what? Everything he formerly considered desirable now loses its value for him on the whole, his views and attitudes become different, he sees that in former times he often acted without compassion and harshly; his sense of responsibility becomes from now on a much more subtle one and he tries in every direction to make up for the guilt he has committed, even though it costs him great sacrifices outwardly and inwardly.\|266b\|334f}}
