The Soul's Probation: Scene 13

GA 14/ga014-2_scene13/p018 · APC1925 LowLow alignmentMost translators re-paragraphed Steiner substantially. The locus identifies the same chapter or section, but paragraph-N to paragraph-N mapping is loose. For exact-quotation precision, compare with the German.

Lucifer: But Benedictus' will itself compelled Johannes' and Maria's souls to part. And wheresoe'er men from each other part There is the field made ready for my power. I ever work for separateness of soul, To set the earth-life free, and for all time To break its servitude to cosmic chains. Maria's being, in monastic garb, Turned from its father yonder soul away That now is dweller in Johannes' form. This too hath caused some seeds of mine to grow Which I shall surely bring to ripening.
