Spiritual science and peace
"Internationalism" is thus mankind's sole way to liberation from darkness, to culture, to freedom, to peace and happiness. And since spiritual science is exclusively the science of people's internationalism, their mutual cosmic brotherhood, a description of the future state or the structure of the world kingdom, in brief, is information about everything that has to do with the fate of the living being that neither materialistic science nor ecclesiastical religion has been able to give people, it is evident that mankind's true future happiness can be based only on spiritual science. This in turn means a science that reveals the mystery of life and its laws, not as dogmas to be believed in but, on the contrary, as coherent logical chains of thought that make all brotherhood between nations, races and individuals evident to the intelligence as a vital matter of course. Man's appropriation of this insight into the cosmic analysis of life or the living being is the only thing capable of perfecting the culture or the love that makes the human being appear in "God's image after his likeness". And with a world-wide body of society of beings or cells, the Christmas gospel's promise is fulfilled. Lasting peace shines out over the continents and seas of the earth.
