The recognition or non-recognition of a certain truth depends not on external causes, but on certain other causes within the man himself. So that at times under external conditions very favorable for the recognition of truth, one man will not recognize it, and another, on the contrary, under the most unfavorable conditions will without apparent cause recognize it…the recognition of truth … does not depend on external phenomena, but on certain inner spiritual characteristics of the man which escape our observation
