Der Mensch ist unerlässlich zur Vollendung der Schöpfung, ja er ist der zweite Weltschöpfer selber, welcher der Welt erst das objektive Sein gibt, ohne das sie ungehört, ungesehen, lautlos fressend, gebärend, sterbend, köpfenickend durch Hunderte von Jahrmillionen in der tiefsten Nacht des Nicht-Seins zu einem unbestimmten Ende hin ablaufen würde. Menschliches Bewusstsein erst hat objektives Sein und den Sinn geschaffen, und dadurch hat der Mensch seine im grossen Seinsprozess unerlässliche Stellung gefunden.
The human being is indispensable for the completion of the creation, he himself is the second world-creator who gives the world its objective existence without which it would go on in the deep night of not-being, unheard, unseen, soundless eating, giving birth, dying, nodding, through hundreds of millions of years to an uncertain end. Only human consciousness has created objective existence, and sense, and thereby the human being has found his essential position within the great process of being.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
