Esoteric Lessons 1904–1909

GA 266I

The Meditation Saying “In spirit lay the germ of my body”

used from a certain point on to conclude esoteric lessons.

In spirit lay the germ of my body.
And the spirit has incorporated into my body
The sensual eyes,
So that through them I may see
The light of the bodies.
And the spirit has imprinted on my body
Sensation and thought
And feeling and will
so that through them I may perceive the bodies
and act upon them.
In the spirit lay the germ of my body. In my body lies the germ of the spirit. And I will incorporate into my spirit the supersensible eyes, so that through them I may see the light of the spirits. And I will impress upon my spirit Wisdom and power and love, That through me the spirits may work And I shall become the self-conscious instrument Of their deeds. In my body lies the germ of the spirit.
