Quote by Johann von Goethe

The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.

The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.

Summary

This quote suggests that increasing our knowledge or awareness about a particular subject leads to an increase in doubt or uncertainty. As our understanding expands, we become more aware of the vast amount of information yet to be grasped and the complexities involved. This realization fosters a sense of skepticism, questioning what we think we know and highlighting the gaps in our understanding. Essentially, the more we learn, the more we realize how much we still don't know, which can lead to a greater sense of doubt.

Back in the past metaphysical realisation needed only the will of realisation. Later realisation also needed initiation. Even later initiation already presupposed preparation. Today even preparation has to be prepared, but first of all a self-correction should take place.
