	These three soul tones also have an image in the outer world of the cosmos, and they now behave in the human soul exactly like the Sun, Moon and Earth, so that theism corresponds to the Sun - now understood as the Sun as a fixed star, not as a planet - that intuitism corresponds to the Moon and naturalism to the Earth. He who goes beyond the phenomena of the world and says: When I look out, the God who fills the world reveals Himself to me in all this - the earthling who rises up when he comes into the rays of the Sun is the theist. The man who does not go beyond the processes of nature, but stops at the individual phenomena, like the man who never raises his eyes to the Sun, but only looks at what the Sun brings forth for him on Earth, is the naturalist. He who seeks out the best that he can have in his soul by letting it rise in his intuitions is like the intuitionist poet who sings to the Moon and is stimulated in his soul by the silvery, mild moonlight, and can be compared with him. Just as one can relate the moonlight to the imagination, so one must occultly relate the Intuitist, as he is meant here, to the Moon.\|151\|61ff}}		These three soul tones also have an image in the outer world of the cosmos, and they now behave in the human soul exactly like the Sun, Moon and Earth, so that theism corresponds to the Sun - now understood as the Sun as a fixed star, not as a planet - that intuitism corresponds to the Moon and naturalism to the Earth.

	{{GZ\|"There is, however, one more thing. That is that these world views - there are already a great many nuances of them, if you look for all the combinations - are further modified by the fact that they can all receive a quite definite tone. But in this field of tone we have only three things to distinguish. All world-views, all combinations which arise in this way, can again appear in three ways. Firstly, they can be theistic, so that I have to call what appears in the soul as sound theism. They can be such that, in contrast to theism, we have to call the tone of the soul Intuitism. Theism arises when man clings to everything external in order to find his God, when he seeks his God in the external. Ancient Hebrew monotheism was preferably a theistic worldview. Intuitism arises when man seeks his worldview preferably through what shines intuitively within him. There is a third tone to these two; that is naturalism.		{{GZ\|There is, however, one more thing.

For those who are not out to forge together into a conceptual system everything they have been able to observe and consider in a certain narrowly limited field and then seek proofs for it, but for those who are out to really penetrate into the truth of the world, it is important to know that this all-roundness is necessity, which expresses itself in the fact that twelve typical world-view nuances - the transitions between them are not important now - are really possible for the human spirit. If we really want to arrive at the truth, we must try to understand the significance of these nuances of world view, we must try to recognise in which areas of existence one or the other of these nuances of world view forms the better key.
