### To Edouard Schurèe in Barr, Alsace

Munich, December 20, 1906.

Dearest Friend!

... I am pleased that the exercises written down in Barr are of some use to you. They are, after all, in line with Rosicrucian wisdom. And if I may ask you for something, it is this: not to lose patience if the time of a perceptible effect takes a little while. The path is a safe one, but it requires a lot of patience. In a short time, when the right moment comes, I will certainly write the continuation of it. Initially, one experiences the effect only through very intimate processes of the soul life. And it actually requires great and at the same time subtle inner attention to sense how the manifestations from another world are adjusting. These can only be noticed, as it were, between the other events of inner life.[^1]
