For as a rule, our experience should be that these pictures are actually much deeper than anything we can dream into them by means of the intellect. If the Greek clairvoyant spoke of Apollo, he had before his mind the mystery of Osiris-Apollo and the human musical instrument. Osiris stood before the Egyptian pupil when he was initiated into the mysteries of earth-existence. Thus we must say that these symbols, these pictures, which have been preserved for us and which characterize what has been taken from the primeval mysteries, mean much more than can be expounded by the intellect. This lyre was seen, the hands of Apollo were seen. The important thing is that we should relate every symbol to some actual vision, to something really seen. There are no symbols, no legends, that have not first been seen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Seventh Lecture","site_heading":"Cosmic Evolution of Human Form Through Osiris-Isis","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Und Osiris stand vor dem ägyptischen Schüler, wenn er eingeweiht wurde in die Geheimnisse des Erdendaseins.

Gesehen wurde diese Leier, gesehen wurden die Hände des Apollo.
