>If you say "I love Tolstoy!" And I ask "since when could you speak Russian?" to which you reply "oh I don't, I read a translation!" then no, you do not love Tolstoy you love a book by a different author that was was inspired by Tolstoy. Poetry does not translate and books are extended poems. Furthermore there is no need in the first place to read English translations of fiction when English itself has an endless trove of original

Intelligence and potential for higher spiritual realization is what's wrong with you -- the unconscious realization that no conceptual schemae perfectly describe your psyche. I think you would go well with Jung. Confusion is a prerequisite for growth, you'll likely have to run yourself to the "ideological endpoint" before you start becoming a genuine person. You'll go through every conceptual opposite and with time outgrow them all, unless you neck yourself from the pressure of not being able to find your own place in due time. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

>It is of course a fundamental mistake to imagine that when we see the non-value in a value or the untruth in a truth, the value or the truth ceases to exist.It has only become relative. Everything human is relative, because everything rests on an inner polarity; for everything is a phenomenon of energy. Energy necessarily depends on a preexisting polarity, without which there could be no energy. There must always be high and low, hot and cold, etc., so that the equilibrating process—which is energy—can take place. Therefore the tendency to deny all previous values in favour of their opposites is just as much of an exaggeration as the earlier one-sidedness. And in so far as it is a question of rejecting universally accepted and indubitable values, the result is a fatal loss. One who acts in this wav empties himself out with his values, as Nietzsche has already said.

>"Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach. He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, in which "Thinking… is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas."[17] A consistent thread that runs from his earliest philosophical phase through his later spiritual orientation is the goal of demonstrating that there are no essential limits to human knowledge"
