Prenatal education can only be an unconscious result of what the parents, particularly the mother, do.

Those who are able to see into the spiritual world perceive how the dead person gradually makes more and more links - all of which are the outcome of karmic connections formed on earth.

Man only becomes independent of this physical world when he learns to consider the objects around him as symbols. He must, for this reason, seek to acquire a moral relationship to them. Rudolf Steiner acquireindependentlearn Change image and share on social
