Esoteric Lesson

However, the Jupiter consciousness is already present in its earliest stages in every human being. The future consciousness is already hinted at in a very delicate way, but human beings are not yet able to interpret it. This is precisely what esoteric life consists of to a large extent: the student learns to correctly interpret the subtle processes within themselves and in their environment. The old lunar consciousness has not yet completely disappeared, but is still present in its last vestiges. The two states in modern human beings, in which the old lunar consciousness is still present in one and the new Jupiter consciousness is already present in the other, are the sense of shame and the sense of fear. In the feeling of shame, where the blood is forced to the periphery of the body, a last remnant of the lunar consciousness still lives, and in the feeling of fear, where the blood flows to the heart to find a firm center there, the Jupiter consciousness announces itself. Thus, normal daytime consciousness swings in two directions.
