We must penetrate through in our search and find Isis again! And we must gain the possibility of transferring into the universe that which we fathom by having found Isis again. We must be able to visualize vividly before us what we gain through the rediscovered Isis, so that spiritually it becomes for us the universe, the cosmos. We must grasp from the inner being Saturn, Sun, Moon, Earth, Jupiter, Venus, Vulcan. We must replace in the heavens what Lucifer made out of Isis, just as Isis replaced in the earth what Typhon-Ahriman made out of the pieces of Osiris. We must grasp that through the power of Christ we have to find an inner astronomy that in turn shows us the universe emerging and working in the power of the spirit. Then, in this insight into the universe, the rediscovered power of Isis, which is now the power of the divine Sophia, will bring forth the Christ, who since the Mystery of Golgotha has been united with earthly existence, in whom people will also come to the right activity because of the right knowledge. It is not the Christ that we lack, but the knowledge of the Christ, the Isis of Christ, the Sophia of Christ.
