Temple, Fragment. Eleventh Image

BENEDICTUS:
You can remain faithful to me
Until the end of the world,
Through your faithfulness
You will enliven yourself and the worlds
With wisdom.
And what you are allowed to create,
The brothers will preserve it.
It stands before you,
Who had to take from you
What I gave you.
But his taking is giving.
He demands sacrifice,
But sacrifice
The worlds are becoming
Seeds.

THEODOSIUS:
I serve love.
But love in me,
It is in higher service,
It must obey
Justice.
And the brother was allowed to give you
Only for a short time,
What I must give back
To the being from whom I
Took it.
Mary must have her share.
For in future times
People must be there for each other
And not one through the other.
Thus the goal of the world will be achieved,
When everyone is at peace within themselves
And everyone gives to everyone else,
What no one wants to demand.

MARY:
Then you will not need me,
Because you have killed such a need
Within yourself.
You will find certainty
Through yourself.
And I will give you
What you do not demand.
What you do not demand.
Thus we will be united
In serving the world goal.

ROMANUS:
When you serve each other in this way,
My willpower
Can pour into you.
And future powers
Will reign within you.
The pillars of this temple
Will be the pillars of your own will
And within you
They will support earthly deeds.
You will sow seeds
That will ripen for eternity.

PHILIA:
O Mary, I feel
How within you
The abundance of spiritual blossoms.
I will carry them
In times to come
And follow you
In your paths.

ASTRID:
You, dear sister,
Let me live in you,
What your love
Enters into.
I will lend it
To people who in distant times
Will expand their service to the world.

LUNA:
And I will carry
Your deeds
In people's hearts,
So that at all times
They may find themselves grown,
To give themselves
To the service of the world.

FELIX BALDE:
Thus the sacrifice
That I am ready to make
Will bear fruit for the world.
I was allowed to keep my light
Hidden within myself
Only as long as people were not compelled
to permeate reason with wisdom.

MRS. BALDE:
Once upon a time there was a being,
That flew from depths to heights,
Following the course of the spirit.
It shone in the depths
In all its beautiful splendor.
And as it rose upward,
All its splendor was lost.
The being was filled with sorrow.
It was comforted as it rose.
Hope was given to it.
It had to lose the splendor
That was given to it from below
In order to gain greater splendor.

THEODOSIUS:
The death of sensual beauty Gives birth to spiritual beauty.

GERMAN:
The person who does not kill
The voice of goodness within themselves
Finds the path to goodness.
They feel the God
Who works from dark depths,
Who guides the earth and the sun.
They follow him as long as they may,
Who guides the earth and the sun.
Follow him as long as he,
As long as he may not follow himself.

ROMANUS:
The will of the self
Finds itself only in the will of the world.

THE OTHER MARY:
Take me away.
Where the other sister's
star appears,
mine willingly disappears.
I have spoken from rocks,
I have proclaimed life force from springs;
Through people themselves,
earthly light becomes human, I extinguish mine.

MACROCOSM:
A good soul fades away,
It shines out of the world.

BENEDICTUS:
A knowledgeable person receives
From this temple
Wisdom that is rooted in
What already exists.

THEODOSIUS:
A hopeful person takes
From this temple
Faith that the
Becoming will flourish.

ROMANUS:
To one who acts flows
From this temple
Power to bring forth
Being from nothingness.
