# To Help Others

I immerse myself in the deepest powers of my soul,  
Where I live feeling the eternity of my soul.  
Like the point without extension in the circle,  
So is the eternal soul without physical being within me.

With this incorporeal eternal being, I remember  
helping in spirit - - —

The power to be yourself grows stronger within you  
The light that shines within you, may it enliven you.

The warmth of the soul that radiates from your own spirit,  
warm you. —

Thoughts, spiritually grown  
They take their path  
From my soul to yours  
So that they may work  
Filling with life from the spirit  
What you strive for in your own way  
In the depths of your heart and soul.

May he learn his powers  
Feel them in his soul  
Know himself  
In these powers  
Feel beating in his heart  
Know himself thinking in his head  
Know himself feeling in his body.

To Clara Walberg for her son  
1909 Meditations given during the First World War V. Dornach, August 14, 1914  
First Aid Course

May they accompany you spiritually in your  
the beings you long for  
may accompany you spiritually. May they take hold of your thoughts  
and let their thoughts flow into them; thus  
you will experience them in your thoughts  
; may they flow into your feelings  
; and may you, uniting with them  
, count yourself among the worlds you seek.

Hearts that love,  
Suns that warm,  
Your footsteps of Christ  
In the Father's universe —  
We call to you from our own hearts,  
We seek you in our own spirit,  
O strive toward him!

Rays of human hearts,  
Warm longing in devotion,  
Your home, Christ,  
In the Father's earthly house,  
We call you from our own hearts,  
We seek you in our own spirit,  
O live with him!

Radiant human love,  
Warming sunshine,  
You, garments of Christ's soul  
In the Father's temple of humanity —  
We call to you from our hearts,  
We seek you in our own spirit,  
O help in him!

For a seriously ill person  
February 1925

Blood,  
Work in the springs;  
Lively muscle,  
Stir the seeds;  
Loving care  
Warming hearts  
Be a healing breath.

V. Dornach, August 13, 1914  
Samaritan course

As long as you feel the pain  
That avoids me,  
Christ is unrecognized  
Working in the world;  
For the spirit remains weak  
When it is alone in its own body  
Powerful in its feeling of suffering.

And now all that has been said can be summarized in seven lines, seven lines that can help you achieve what we have described as a Christ-filled dialogue with the spirit of the people:

You, spirit of my earthly realm,  
Reveal the light of your age  
To the soul gifted with Christ,  
That it may find, striving,  
In the choir of the spheres of peace,  
You resounding with praise and power  
Of the Christian human spirit.

V. Dornach, August 16, 1914, Samaritan course

V. Dornach, September 1, 1914

You, spirit of my earthly home  
Pour forth your light  
From your age  
Into my questioning soul  
That it may find  
The place of the spirit  
In the brotherhood of man.

From the merciful world soul  
Fill me with the power of warmth  
The warmth that lives through human beings  
As it lives through  
The power of God  
The vast, vast universe.

Prayer for the seriously ill,  
given to Helene Röchling  
1914/15

Deep into your soul  
Into your thoughts, feelings, desires  
With Yahweh's fiery power  
Immerse my soul in your being  
Filled with Christ, into your soul  
Lead elohic fiery desires into your being  
That the act of life may glow within him.

Stand before me  
Take what is spiritually touching—soul-calming  
Strongly given  
Soul-warming  
Heart-reviving  
Christ-sacrificed

Help-life, be with you.

Draft for “I want to believe...”  
Notebook 1914

I want to believe in you,  
I am allowed to know you,  
In the protection of that spirit,  
Which broods over the center of Europe  
His people, his soul's goal;  
May he direct to you the power of Yahweh's thought  
May he grant you will from the source of Christ's will.

To Helene Röchling  
given in 1914

I want to believe  
I may know  
You in the protection of the Spirit  
Who broods over the center of Europe  
The goal of his spirit's people  
May Yahweh direct my faith to you  
May Christ lovingly grant you my power of knowledge.

To Eliza v. Moltke  
given in 1914

From the courage of the fighters  
From the blood of battles  
From the suffering of the forsaken  
From the sacrifices of the people  
The fruit of the spirit will grow,  
Guiding souls with spiritual awareness  
Their minds to the realm of the spirit.

from September 1914

From the suffering of souls  
From the blood of battles  
From the spirit of sacrifice and courage  
From pain, hardship, and death  
The fruit of the spirit will grow,  
Guiding people with spiritual awareness  
their soul's purpose toward the spirit realm.

For those standing in the field

Spirits of your souls, working guardians,  
May your wings bring  
The pleading love of our souls  
To the earthlings entrusted to your care,  
That, united with your power,  
Our plea may shine helpfully  
Upon the souls that seek it lovingly.

For those who fell in battle

Spirits of your souls, guardian spirits,  
May your wings bring  
The pleading love of our souls  
To the people of the spheres whom you protect,  
So that, united with your power,  
Our plea may shine helpfully  
Upon the souls who seek it lovingly.

From September 1914

For those standing in the field

You who watch over the souls of the earth,  
You who weave the souls of the earth,  
Spirits who protect the souls of men  
From the wisdom of the world with love:  
Hear our plea, see our love,  
Who with your helping rays of strength  
Want to be one, spirit-given, loving.

For those who fell in the field

You who watch over the souls of the spheres,  
You who weave at the souls of the spheres,

Which, with your helping streams of power,  
Wish to become one, spirit-filled, radiating love.
