The primeval mountains of which I spoke yesterday were the first formations to emerge from out of the Cosmos. The quartz to be found in those mountains, with its beautiful structure and relative transparency, was as it were poured into the Earth from the Cosmos. When a seer endowed with Imaginative vision observes those primeval rocks which, are the hardest substances on the Earth, they become the eyes through which he gazes out into the Universe—the same Universe which implanted these eyes into the Earth. It must be remembered that the quartz and silicious substances which permeated the whole atmosphere and were gradually deposited as primeval mountains were not as hard as they are today. They hardened into the state we know owing to the conditions that prevailed in later times. In the form in which they emerged from the Universe their consistency was scarcely more solid than wax.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

So daß die Quarze, die Sie draußen im Urgebirge finden in ihrer schönen Gestalt, in ihrer relativen Durchsichtigkeit, gewissermaßen vom Weltenall in die Erde herein gebildet sind. Deshalb ist es ja, daß, wenn sich heute der imaginativ Schauende in diese Urgebirgsgesteine, in diese heute härtesten Gestaltungen der Erde hinein versetzt, so sind sie ihm die Augen hinaus nach dem Weltenall. Aber das Weltenall hat auch diese Augen der Erde eingesetzt; sie sind danun drinnen. Das Weltenall hat sie der Erde eingesetzt. Nur war das Quarzige, das Kieselsäure-Ähnliche, das da in dieganze Atmosphärehereindrang undsich allmählich ablagerte als Urgebirge, nicht so hart wie heute.
