Fairy tales generally contain timeless truths.

Grimm's fairy tales are images for mental, spiritual and typical life experiences, from the highest spiritual developments to magical processes and the simplest children's games.

They disguise inner problems in outer characters: evil sorcerers, stepmothers and devils, or helping forces of truth and hope in wise women and beings of light. They expose weaknesses and illusions, but also show the potential for free development within people.

The speaker shows how these apparent inventions can be recognized as symbols for realities. Then, as in a mirror, the great panorama of our own being, our fellow human beings, our people and the whole of humanity is revealed to us. -

And to our surprise and delight, we can even finally gain insight into the ultimate mysteries of life.
