For more information on this content, see the publisher's comment on p. 523.

The effect of all earthly activity on the astral body:

This earthly activity refers to the formation of lotus flowers by humans themselves.

Four-petaled lotus flowers: external sciences: raven
Six-petaled lotus flowers: psychology: sensual moral effect of color: occult
Eight-petaled lotus flowers: history: warrior
Twelve-petaled lotus flowers: religious studies: lion
Sixteen-petaled lotus flowers: theosophy: with the name of the race; sun hero
Two-petaled lotus flowers: Theurgy: Father

The apprentice is the embryo of the astral body, and Mother Earth carries him.

The apprentice seeks to understand what humanity has accomplished thus far.

Learning causes the lotus flower, which was previously only sensitive, to become volitional.

e.g. concentration on the will: distraction of the mental image so that, with complete consciousness, the mind is immersed in the will without any mental image.

[Samadhi - Sanskrit for “being firmly joined together,” collection, concentration]

When the lotus flowers are formed
without an influence of wisdom: Ahrimanic When mobility is developed
without moral influence: Luciferic

Luciferic: the lotus flowers function, but they turn only to what is in accordance with the personality; they turn toward their own Ahrimanic element.

This physical body is built up by the forces of the
astral body; it develops into
the sense organs. These — the eyes — see
objects through the sunlight from outside. One must distinguish a second half within the astral body itself: [drawing]
like the other pole in a magnet.

In men, the second astral body is female;
in women, the second astral body is male,
which means that the astral body is hermaphroditic.

The kundalini fire is now the activity aroused in the second
astral body, which is initially
heat and light.

As long as the kundalini fire is not aroused,
one gropes between the objects
and beings of the higher world, as in the
night between physical objects.
When the Kundalini fire is present, one illuminates
oneself and the objects."

Transcription: Seeing: Light affects the purple part of the eye, this chemical stimulus propagates itself to the brain Kundalini fire The astral center causes it (the stimulus) to appear in the soul as the color blue

The kundalini fire causes the astral center to adapt to the physical center.

A kind of mental cavity is created; the cavity is created by the content of meditation. When the content of meditation is let go, content from the spiritual sphere can enter. Maintenance of the functions of thinking without the content of thinking.

Activity: Will
Passivity: Thinking

Passive thinking is observation, i.e., the representation of content that is foreign to it.

Active will is action, i.e., the realization of one's own content.

At the moment of Kundali's awakening, passive thinking becomes active

and active will becomes passive

The moment of awakening can be described as the moment when the being acquires active, i.e., productive thinking and passive, i.e., receptive will.

Think of the result of productive thinking as a sum of thought forms:

1. Logos - 2. Logos
   Pope - Archiepiscopus - Episcopus - Archidiacon - Diacon
