Visitors walk under the sakura trees at the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto, Japan. Fall petals have covered the water in the canal, turning it pink.
Thus we can understand what has to be said about materialistic methods. They provide man with illusion, maya. But this illusion is actually advantageous to man, for when he sees through it, he enters, to begin with, into the kingdom of Ahriman and his spiritual hosts — beings who are out for destruction and death and who cause him to develop certain subtly destructive forces in his own human nature. Intellect in particular, purely external cleverness, is developed in him by the powers into whose realm he enters, so that he becomes crafty, astute in a subtle way. If his earthly intelligence is not sufficiently developed to see through these things, he becomes unconsciously, but subtly cunning and crafty. It may therefore be said that materialistic philosophy represents a period during which man can mature and thus be able, later on, to enter this realm of Ahriman without danger. #rudolfsteiner

The Philosopher's Walk, or 哲学の道 (Tetsugaku no Michi), is a canal-side path running through the east side of Kyoto. To my mind, it's by far the most pleasant place in an often ugly and crowded city.
