Lecture V
> In daily experience four goals are clear; > we still have to discuss this; everything here divides into fours— > *In daily experience four goals are clear, > Now lead him on untouched by apprehension*. > —lead man toward his goals— > *First strive for countenance that fills with light, > Then spirit's quest for power hold fast. > Once lame-winged senses move again in flight, > His day in freedom can unfold*. > —It will be freed from everything dreamlike and arbitrary that would otherwise rule it with the force of necessity— > *Thus truest spirit duty it fulfils: > Through holy light to lead him where he wills*. > —So might man address the spirits that take hold of him when he awakens to the life of truth.
