Your blessing
You great
Brothers
You who live in our thoughts,
you who power our feelings,
you who pulse through our will,
you who shape the lower from above,
you who spiritually raise the lower to the higher,
our souls implore you
for the Theosophical Lodge in Malsch.
Envelop the stone with your lives,
which we lower into the earth here, so that
what is thought, felt, and desired above it
may grow from the seed of your lives.

for the Malsch Lodge and its faithful guardians
and the Stockmeyer family in the presence
of representatives of the theosophical lodges:

May the light of the spirits of the East shine upon this building
The light of the spirits of the East;
May the spirits of the West reflect it back;
May the spirits of the North strengthen it
And the spirits of the South warm it,
So that the spirits of the East, West,
North and South may flow through the building.

From the speech given at the laying of the foundation stone in Malsch
April 5, 1909

Inauguration of the Stuttgart Branch House

Spirit of the universe, you who proclaim yourself to our true self-knowledge, you have graciously kept the word you gave us when you saw the work your servants had been doing for years; and today, at this hour, it is becoming apparent. Admittedly, the vastest realms of the spirit cannot comprehend you, great spirit of the universe, who with your thoughts permeate all your works, who wants to dwell in the words that may sound from our lips; how much less can these temple walls, which we have built for you, comprehend you. But behold, Spirit of the universe, who reveals yourself in our true self-knowledge, in the will to understand, in the longing for knowledge of your servants! Behold, Spirit of the universe, who permeates every self, look down upon us, and let your eyes be open upon this building where you have decided to dwell! Hear our feelings, which urge us to show ourselves worthy through our work of allowing your spirit to flow into the rooms we have dedicated to you!

V. October 15, 1911

Whoever enters, bring love to this home,
Whoever stays within, seek knowledge in this place,
Whoever leaves, take peace with you from this house.

You had to send the evils
Because of man's fall into the tempter's net
Because he took the being and gave himself
So he needs his daily bread
Because a will other than that of heaven reigns on earth
And man separated himself from your kingdom
And forgot the name
Of his fathers in heaven.

Amen

Evil reigns
Witnesses of dissolving egoism
Self-imposed guilt for the sins of others
Experienced in our daily bread
In which the will of heaven does not reign
In which man separated himself from your kingdom
And forgot your name
You fathers in heaven.

Two sketches for the central motifs of the green Goetheanum windows

And the spirit of heaviness
gathered the contradiction
And it became
In the will of man
Resistance.

North But when wise leaders of humanity
Were chosen from among the souls devoted to the spirit
By higher powers of existence.
They cultivated in places of knowledge
The spiritual forces, the rays of knowledge
Which they sent into souls that were only dimly aware
Of their vision.
Only later were spiritual researchers able to gather
Did the spiritual researchers draw their disciples,
Who through their strong-willed lives of trial
Proved themselves ripe to strive purposefully in the light of consciousness
Towards spiritual knowledge.
And when the disciples later became the first leaders
And were able to cultivate the noble gift with dignity,
The unconscious leadership disappeared,
So that free souls could strive knowledgeably.
And free souls then chose people
Who were allowed to follow them in cultivating
The treasure of the spirit; and so it continued
From one generation to the next.
Until now, all places of knowledge
That are truly such have sprung forth justly
From the highestthat stands in the spiritual spheres.
In earnest search we strive here
Toward the true spiritual heritage of mankind.
We will never speak of knowledge
That does not bear the seal of the spirit;
Only from the light of the spiritual worlds,
Which people can see when they look up,
Those who want to trust themselves to it,
In order to fathom the depths of their souls.
The seriousness of the turning point in time
is what the seriousness of the turning point in time teaches us
and its necessity; the signs are truly
full of meaning, which are now clearly revealed to the spiritual eyes
in the world plan. —

And the light
of the spirits
Became the light
of man.

For the opening ceremony of the first event in the still unfinished Goetheanum building

In the name of that spirit which proclaims itself to the souls
in our place of striving,
I appear at this moment
Before people who from now on want to hear
The word that sounds solemnly here to the souls.
Not in earlier times could those powers
That guide the goals of our earthly existence
Reveal themselves in a fully conscious manner.
For just as in the body of a child
The powers that are destined to be the bearers of knowledge
Must gradually mature and grow stronger,
So too must humanity as a whole unfold
In its earthly journey.
At first, the impulses of the soul lived in dullness,
Which were later to prove worthy
Of beholding the light of the spirit from higher worlds.

For the opening ceremony
of the first Anthroposophical University Course
Human soul!

You live in the heartbeat and breath
Which leads you through the rhythm of time
Into your own soul-being:
Practice spiritual reflection
In soul equilibrium
Where the surging
World-becoming deeds

Dornach, September 26, 1920

Concluding words of the address at the opening ceremony

To turn toward the light
In dark times of need, —
To the spiritual dawn
Send the glances of our souls, —
Let human will be here
And remain so forever.

V. Dornach, September 26, 1920

Thinking, true communion of human beings

They approach me in earthly activity
Given to me in the image of matter
The heavenly deeds of the stars
Which I wisely transform in feeling.

I experience myself with the world

It penetrates me in the activity of water
In the power of matter, grasping me
The heavenly beings forming the stars
Which I lovingly create in my will.

I am with the world

Spiritual Communion

It approaches me in the workings of the earth
Given to me in the image of matter
The heavenly beings of the stars
I see them lovingly transforming themselves in my will.

I experience myself as a soul

They penetrate me in the life of water
In the power of matter forming me
The heavenly deeds of the stars
I see them changing wisely in feeling.

I experience myself as spirit.

For the lecture held in the Goetheanum building immediately before the
outbreak of the fire
Dornach, December 31, 1922

Feel into the breath—feel quietly

The power of the waves of the world surges within me
On the waves lives the will of the gods
The will of the gods, you fill me
I enliven you as human will
In human will, my being becomes
A life that creates its own power
I work out of my ego into the world.

Feel into the blood circulation – listen quietly

Within me, the power of human will calms down
In the calmness, human thinking lives
Human thinking, you enlighten me;
I grasp you as God's thought
In God's thought is my archetypal being
And archetypal being becomes light-creating within me
I think from God to myself.

Notebook

After the fire at the Goetheanum

Thoughts were woven into thoughts
The soul joyfully consumed in creation
Feelings breathed into forms
And thus the spirit of art was bound together

Do you want to explore the pain
In which fate has plunged us
Feeling has gone up in flames
Creative happiness has come to an end

The eye looks upon ruins

Notebook 1923

It wanted to speak in the substance of thought
The Goetheanum of the eternal
In forms visible to the eye
The flames could consume the substance
Anthroposophy shall
From the spiritual build its structure
And speak to the soul
The flames of the spirit
They will harden it.

The ideal-spiritual foundation of the General Anthroposophical Society by Rudolf Steiner on December 25, 1923, at 10 a.m.

Human soul!
You live in the limbs
That carry you through the world of space
In the sea of spirit:
Practice spiritual remembrance
In the depths of your soul
Where in the reigning
Being of the Creator of worlds
The self
In God's - I
Exists
And you will truly live
In the human-world-being.

For the order, see note on p. 367.

The individual self
Unite with the world self
And you will truly feel
In the workings of the human soul.

Human soul!
You live in the resting head
Which, for reasons of eternity,
Opens up the thoughts of the world to you:
Practice spiritual vision
In the tranquility of thought
Where the eternal goals of the gods
The light of the essence of worlds
To their own selves
For free will
And you will think truly
In the foundations of the human spirit.

At the turn of the ages
The light of the world spirit entered
Into the earthly stream of being;
Eight darkness had passed
Daylight
Shone in human souls
Light that warms
The poor shepherds' hearts
Light that illuminates
The wise kings' heads —

Divine light
Christ Sun
Warm our hearts
Enlighten our heads

That good may come
From what we
Found in our hearts
From our heads
May lead us purposefully.

(Repeat of: Human soul! You live in the limbs ...

For the Father Spirit of the heights reigns
In the depths of the world, creating being
Seraphim, cherubim, thrones
Let it resound from the heights
What finds its echo in the depths:
That speaks:
Ex Deo nascimur.
The elemental spirits hear it
in the east, west, north, south
May human beings hear it.

(Repeat of: Human soul! You live in the beating of the heart and lungs ...

For the will of Christ reigns in the surroundings
In the rhythms of the worlds, blessing souls
Kyriotetes Dynamis Exusiai
Let the east fire up
What is being formed through the west:
This speaks:
In Christ we die.

(Repeat of: Human soul! You live in your resting head ...

For the thoughts of the Spirit rule the world
In the world's being, imploring light
Archai Archangeloi Angeloi
Let them implore from the depths
What is heard in the heights:
This speaks:
Per Spiritum Sanctum reviviscimus.
This they hear ...

Second version

for printing in “What is happening in the Anthroposophical Society.

News for its members,” No. 1, January 13, 1924

Human soul!
You live in the limbs,
Which carry you through the world of space
Into the sea of spirit:
Practice spiritual remembrance
In the depths of your soul
Where in the ruling
Being of the world creator
Your own I
Exists in the I of God
Exists;
And you will truly live
In the human-world-being.

For the Father-Spirit of the heights reigns
In the depths of the worlds, creating being:
You spirits of power
Let your voices ring out from the heights,
What echoes in the depths;
This speaks:
From the divine comes humanity.
The spirits hear this in the east, west, north, and south:
May humans hear it too.

Human soul!
You live in the beating of your heart and lungs,
Which guides you through the rhythm of time
Into the feeling of your own soul:
Practice spiritual reflection
In the balance of your soul,
Where the surging deeds of world becoming
Unite the individual self
With the world self
And you will truly feel
In the workings of the human soul.

For the will of Christ reigns in the surroundings
In the rhythms of the worlds, blessing souls:
Let your spirits of light
Be fired from the east,
What is forming through the west;
This speaks:
In Christ, death becomes life.
The spirits in the east, west, north, and south hear this:
May human beings hear it.

Human soul! You live in your resting head,

Which, from the depths of eternity,

Opens up the thoughts of the world to you:

Practice spiritual vision

In the tranquility of thought,

Where the eternal goals of the gods

Bestow upon the light of the essence of the worlds

And you will think truly

In the foundations of the human spirit.

For the thoughts of the spirit rule the world
In the world's being, imploring light.

Let them beg from the depths

What is heard in the heights:

In the world thoughts of the spirit, the soul awakens.

The spirits hear this in the east, west, north, and south:

At the turn of the ages
The light of the world spirit entered
The earthly stream of beings;
The darkness of night
Had come to an end;
Daylight
Shone in human souls;
Light,
Warms
The poor shepherds' hearts;
Light,
That illuminates
The wise kings' heads.

Divine light,
Christ-sun
Warm
Our hearts;
Illuminate
Our heads;

That good may come of
What we
Found in our hearts,
What we
From our heads
Want to lead purposefully.

Laying of the foundation stone of the “Vreede” house

In this house lives the soul
May it be permeated by the spirit
That seeks in the depths
The firm will
That it may become
The pious mind
In all the rooms of the building
And that from above
One can find
The blessing of the spirit
And God's grace
In all who live within.

The foundation stone was laid on October 27, 1921. Those who were involved in the construction of the building dedicated their thoughts to it in the above spirit.

Arlesheim, October 27, 1921

Foundation stone inscription for the new building of the Stuttgart Waldorf School

May the power of the spirit in love prevail
May the light of the spirit in goodness work
From the security of the heart
From the steadfastness of the soul
To the young human being
For the working power of the body
For the intimacy of the soul
For the brightness of the spirit
May it bring forth.

This place is dedicated to this:
May the spirit of youth find in it
Those gifted with strength, those devoted to light
caretakers of humanity.

In their hearts they remember the spirit
that is to reign here, those who
sink the stone as a symbol
here, so that
it may strengthen the foundation
upon which they are to live, reign, and work:

Liberating wisdom
Strengthening spiritual power
Revealing spiritual life.

They wish to profess this:
In the name of Christ
With pure intentions
With good will. —

For the school in Hamburg-Wandsbeck

From the seriousness of the times
must be born
the courage to act.

Give to teaching
what the spirit gives you,
and you will free humanity
from the nightmare
that weighs upon it through
materialism.

For the Christian Rosenkreutz branch in Nice

For the inauguration of the Novalis Branch in Rome

Spiriti eccelsi, che eravate perfetti

Prima che scorresse la sorgente del nostro principio,
Your creative wisdom formed the universe,
And from the world of Your wisdom arose:

The power of our thinking
The life of our feelings
The end of our will.

May your strength, your life, your end

penetrate the organs of our souls:

So that they may contemplate your creative wisdom,

So that they may live creative feeling,

So that they may create in the Divine Will.

Ex Deo nascimur
In Christo morimur
Per Spiritum Sanctum reviviscimus

🕈

High spirits, you who were made perfect
Before the source of our beginning flowed,
Your creative wisdom formed the world,
And from your world of wisdom arose

The power of our thoughts,
The life of our feelings,
The goal of our will.

Your power, your life, your goal
Pour into the limbs of our souls,
That they may see your creative wisdom,
That they may live creative feeling,
That they may create in divine will.

April 1910

For the meetings of the Novalis branch in Rome

Nel segno della croce
Circondata da rose
Vediamo sentendolo
Il risveglio dello Spirito del Mondo
dalle profondità dell’ anima.
Si staccano dalle profondità dell’ anima
The hidden forces of mystery.
Forces that acted in the beginning,
Forces that must act in the end,
Forces in which
we think,
in which
we live loving,
in which
we breathe devotion.

In the sign of the cross
surrounded by roses
we see and feel
the awakening of the world spirit
from the depths of the soul.
From the depths of the soul
hidden forces of mystery are released.
Forces that were at work in the beginning,
forces that will be at work in the end,
forces in which
we think,
in which
we live lovingly,
in which
we breathe devotion.

At the beginning and end, each member recites this formula aloud, while the others meditate on its meaning. When enough gatherings have taken place for each member to have had a turn, the member who began starts again.

ca. 1911

For the Emerson branch in London

From the bright heights of the spirit
Shine forth God's bright light
In human souls

In the inner soul
Of ours
Who
In His name
Feel gathered here.

On the inauguration of the Vidar branch in Bochum

You who guide spiritual life and give people what they need according to the times,
You work with us when our friends here in this city serve spiritual life with devotion.

We would like to send this as a prayer to the spiritual leaders, the higher hierarchies, at this moment, which is solemn in two respects. ...

May this be our Christmas prayer today: that this branch may also become a living witness to what flows as a force from higher worlds into human evolution and can give human souls more and more awareness of the truth of the words:

The things in the vastness of space speak to the senses,
They change in the stream of time;
The human soul penetrates with understanding,
Unlimited by the vastness of space
And unreachable by the stream of time,
Into the realm of eternity.

V. December 21, 1913

For the founding of the Mannheim II branch

To feel within the soul
What eternally binds man as the core of his being
To the world spirit
And thus gives true meaning to life and striving
This permeates the science of the spirit.

And may this also reign over us, above us, And may this also reign around us, above us,

Since we have united ourselves in a soul work;

May the great spiritual guides of life

Bestow their grace and love upon us with blessings.

Dedication for a room in Tannbach Castle

You yourself, knowing, feeling, willing human being
You are the mystery of the world
What it conceals
In you it becomes manifest, it becomes
In your spirit light
In your soul warmth,
And in your breath power
It binds your physical being
To soul worlds
To spiritual realms.
It leads you into matter
So that you find yourself human
It leads you into the spirit
So that you do not lose yourself spiritually.

To Ludwig and Bertha von Polzer-Hoditz,
June 10, 1918

For the working group of Alice Kinkel in Stuttgart

The sphere of the spirit is the home of the soul;
And man reaches it
If he follows the path of true thinking,
Chooses the power of love in his heart
As his strong guide,
And opens the inner meaning of his soul
To the writing that is revealed everywhere
In the world,
Which he can always find
As a proclamation of the spirit
In everything that lives and works,
And in all things, too,
That spread lifelessly in space,
As in everything that happens
In the stream of time.

Rudolf Steiner
1923

On the founding of the Threefold Group in New York

Let our feelings penetrate
The center of our hearts
And seek to unite in love
With people of the same goal
With the spirits who graciously
Look down upon our earnest, heartfelt striving
From regions of light, strengthening us
And illuminating our love.

November 1923

Man sees
With the eye given by the spirit;
He is bound by what he sees,
To the hopes of the spirit and the sustaining power of the spirit;
It binds him to everything,
That has its roots in eternity
And bears fruit in eternity.

But man can only see
Only when he feels his inner eye
As a member of the spirit of God,
Which on the stage of the soul
In the temple of the human body
Works the deeds of the gods.

It is humanity
In forgetfulness of the inner God,
But we want to take it
Into the bright light of consciousness,
And then carry over the rubble and ashes
The flame of the gods in the hearts of men.

So may lightning strike our houses of the senses

We will build houses for our souls

Of iron-strong webs of light.

And the downfall of the outer world

Shall become the dawn

Of the innermost soul.

Suffering presses in
From the forces of matter;
Hope shines,
Even when darkness surrounds us;
And one day it will
Penetrate our memory,
When, after the darkness,
Are allowed to live again in the light.

We do not want this light

To be missing from our future happiness,

Because we have not planted it in our souls

November 1923

Dedication for the Berlin Youth Branch Room

Room walls protectively separate us
From the disturbing noise of the world;
The soul finds itself in silence
With the soul in the spiritual realm;
But world forces bind effectively,
What the strongest wall keeps apart;
So too must love carry powerfully
Human forces in the union of souls.

Easter 1924 My etheric body works in the fluid of my body.

Room walls protectively separate us
From the disturbing noise of the world
The soul finds itself in silence
To the soul in the limited realm of the spirit
But world forces weave into the universe
What the strongest wall keeps apart
So too must love powerfully carry
Human forces in the union of souls.

For the teachers of the Waldorf School

In the light of the essence of meaning,
There lives the will of the spirit,
Giving itself as the light of wisdom
And concealing its inner power;

In the I of one's own being,
There shines the human will,
As the revelation of thought,
Supported by its own power;

And its own power to the light
Of world wisdom powerfully
United with the self:

Shape me, who seek
Towards the divine and sublime
Seeking the forces of enlightenment.

September 1919

For the teachers of the Waldorf School Let it circle through your own council,
Since that council, which would so gladly come,
Does not have free wings.

Consciousness that from above
And below the human being
Binder Worlds' light
To the earth's darkness.

Spiritual vision,
Turn your gaze inward;
Heartfelt feeling
Touch the tender soul;
In intuitive spiritual vision,
In heartfelt soul feeling,
Consciousness weaves itself.

Spiritual gaze
Heartfelt touch
Behold, feel
In the human interior
Weaving worlds' light
In the reigning earth's darkness:
My own
human image-forming power
creative
power-generating
will-carrying

From the letter to the teachers
Goetheanum, March 15, 1925 Thinking nourishes my etheric body.

For anthroposophical doctors

Preparation: How do I find the good?

Can I think the good?

I cannot think the good.

So I do not find the good in the fluid of the body.

Can I feel the good?

I can feel the good, but it is not there through me
if I only feel it.

Feeling nourishes my astral body.

My astral body works in the airy part of my body.

So in the airy part of the body I do not find the good that exists through me.

Can I will the good?

I can will the good.

Willing sustains my ego.

My ego works in the warmth ether of my body.

Therefore, in warmth I can physically realize the good.

I feel my humanity in my warmth.

I feel light in my warmth.

(Pay attention that this sensation of light occurs in the area where the physical heart is located.)

I feel the substance of the world sounding in my warmth.

(Make sure that the peculiar sensation of sound travels from the lower abdomen to the head, but spreads throughout the entire body.)

I feel the life of the world stirring in my head in my warmth.

(Make sure that the peculiar sensation of life spreads from the head to the whole body.)

To Helene v. Grunelius for the doctors

What I am now writing on the board is not for you to know, but to stimulate this revitalization of your medical sense again and again. It is something like this:

You healing spirits
You connect yourselves
To the blessing of sulfur
Of the scent of ether;

You enliven yourselves
In the ascent of Mercury
The dewdrop
Of the growing
And becoming.

You find support
In the salts of the earth
That nourishes the roots
In the soil. —

This is, in a sense, what the soul acquires by looking at its surroundings, awakening the inner meaning of what surrounds it. Man can then respond:

I want to connect my soul's knowledge
To the fire
Of the scent of flowers;

I want to stir my soul life
With the sparkling drops
Of the morning leaves;

I want to strengthen my soul being
With the
Salt-hardening
With which the earth
Carefully nourishes the roots.

And let the spirit in the soul
Rule as the self

For if the spirit of your soul
Takes your body as its power
Then you are physically ill
And if the spirit of your body Takes your soul as its power Then you are sick in your soul.

Look into your soul
Luminous power
Feel in your body
The power of heaviness

In the power of light
The spirit-ego shines
In the power of heaviness
The spirit of God is powerful

But the power of light
Must not
Be seized
the power of heaviness
Nor should
the power of heaviness
penetrate
the power of light

For if the power of light
grasps the power of heaviness
and the power of heaviness
penetrates the power of light
then they bind
Soul and body
Into corruption. —

V. Dornach, January 9, 1924

At the threshold
Darkness of the senses and light of the spirit
Flow into each other in a dazzling spectacle

The image of this spectacle
Is the disease

In the disease lives the guardian.
Encounter in the spirit conscious
Encounter in the body unconscious.

January 1924 Notebook

It was in ancient times,
There lived in the souls of the initiated
The powerful thought that sick
By nature is every human being.
And education was regarded
As equal to the healing process
Which, with the maturing of the child
Brought health at the same time
For the completion of human life.

In the 1st Circular Letter for Physicians
March 11, 1924

Look at what fits together cosmically,
You perceive the formation of human beings. ☾

Look at what moves you in the air,
You experience the soul of humanity. ⊙

Look at what is changing on earth,
You grasp the spiritualization of humanity. ♄

V. Dornach, April 22, 1924

Feel in the measure of fever
The gift of Saturn's spirit

Feel in the number of pulses
The soul power of the sun

Feel in the weight of matter
The formative power of the moon:

Then you will see in your desire to heal
Also the healing needs of earthly human beings.

V. Dornach, April 24, 1924

Push the early years
Into the age of childhood
And the age of childhood
Into the age of youth:
You will see condensed
the etheric being of human beings
behind their physical bodies —

Push the density of old age
into the time of human maturity
and the age of maturity
into the life of youth:
You will hear in the sounds of the world
the workings of human souls
from the etheric life.

V. Dornach, April 25, 1924

Feel the thinking!

It has lost:
the burdens of the earth
the weaving of the air
the shining of the cosmos.

Strengthen the thinking!

It will win:
the burdens of the earth will be very light
the weaving of the air will be stronger
the shining of the cosmos will be full of life.

Feel the will!

It has lost:
the work of the cosmos
the speech of the air
the senses of the earth.

Strengthen the will!

It will prevail:
the workings of the cosmos will be clearly audible
the speech of the air will be almost intelligible
the senses of the earth will be quietly alive.

From ancient sacred places of sacrifice
Healing arts once flowed
Into human creation

Remember your revelation:
Tell it at the new place of healing.
And give spirit-bearing human souls
hearing to your mysterious call
So they will
bring healing
creating
in the web of human life.

I will seek the power of the spirit's ears
in a loving heart
to hear the call.

Draft

Spoken by Mercury-Raphael

I) Behold an ancient custom:

In a place holy and dignified
Flames arise, capturing hidden earthly forces,
Carrying them in Mercury's fiery serpent seal
Towards the gods —
That in healers may be created
What in the depths of crevices
What in the blowing of the air
What in the rays of light
Banishes the evils of the earth. —

II) Renew the old custom:

Say what is reborn
In a new place of healing
Through your striving:
And give spirit-borne human souls
Hearing to your thoughts
Over newly kindled fire serpent seals
And if they want to create healing
In the fabric of human life.
They may vow to you:

I will awaken the power of the spirit's ears
In a loving heart
To hear your healing words.

For the internal circle of physicians

In the heart dwells
In shining brightness
Of the human being
Helping spirit.

In the heart works
In warming power
Of the human being
Helping power.

So let us carry
The soul's full will
In the warmth of the heart
And in the light of our hearts,

Thus we bring
Salvation
To those in need of salvation
Through God's grace.

For nurses
1924/25

Live in the spirit,
In the soul
Finding oneself, weaving:
The self is at work,
And carries in the sun's rays
To the creative power of the world
The human being truly.

For Pastor Paul Klein
1914/15

Feeling in need of YOUR grace,
Christ, light of the world, I wait
with all my strength
opening the gates of my soul
to YOUR enlightenment
I will be still within myself
and thank YOU for YOUR gift
and give it
as YOUR gift to people
I want to be an instrument of YOUR word
with my soul
my best efforts
my true depths
my quietest reverence.

Notepad

To YOU
Bearer of the Word of the World
be directed
my soul
opening itself to YOUR
gate of grace,
YOUR
gate of love;
Send the Spirit,
Who carries
YOUR word
Enlightenment
YOUR word
Warmth of love
YOUR word
Power of the heart
Into my soul.

Silence reigns within me
Silence weaves through me
That I may hear
THE VOICE OF YOUR SPIRIT
THE WISE GUIDANCE OF YOUR SPIRIT
That may speak
from me
Whom YOU deemed worthy
me
To place
in the depths of my heart.
Watch over my words
Watch over my thoughts
Watch over YOUR servant
YOUR messenger.

For Pastor Paul Klein
as meditation before the sermon
August 1911

Consciousness fills me,
That I must be a temple
To the Word of the Creator of the World.

May my eyes learn to see in darkness
May my mouth learn to speak in silent peace
May my heart learn to feel in spiritual purity:

I see the spirit of the sun in the soul of the moon,
I speak the word of God in the ears of the earth
I feel the flow of spirit in human blood.

For priestesses
of the Christian Community
December 9/10, 1922

I will walk the path
That dissolves the elements into events
And leads me down to the Father
Who sends illness to balance karma
And leads me upward to the spirit
Which guides the soul in error to gain freedom
Christ leads downward and upward
Harmoniously begetting spiritual man in earthly man.

For doctors and priests
