Esoteric Lesson

But there is a very small part of the astral body that has remained, so to speak, as it once was in primeval times, when the divine astral body gave birth to the human astral body. This very small part has never been clouded by the instincts, lusts, desires, and passions that drag human beings down; it has remained virginal. Only this part of the human astral body that has remained virgin can still live in this sea of divine thoughts during the night; it can be active in this sea of light, this light of wisdom. But during the day, human beings know nothing or only have a vague inkling of this experience. And it is constantly drowned out, swallowed up by the loud confusion of the day's sensory experiences. Through thinking as practised in esotericism, however, we enrich this virgin part of our astral body in full consciousness during the day, allowing it to grow and strengthen until it finally becomes strong enough to transmit its impressions to the coarse or solid etheric body, so to speak. It imprints them on it like a seal in hot sealing wax. Then, with full, clear daytime consciousness, the spiritual worlds become open to the human being, who can live consciously in the sea of divine thoughts. That is, so to speak, the technique. Then the human being can contemplate God's thoughts in their fullest clarity and purity. He is guided and led to this experience by the Rosicrucian teacher.
