Esoteric Lesson

Who among us is not familiar with mood swings and feelings of discontent? We have all been subject to them at some point. However, the esoteric person must try to fight against them with their ordinary ego. For if they allow these feelings to gain the upper hand, something very specific will happen to them. They will fall prey to the false spirit of heaviness. There really is such a spirit or spirits of heaviness. The spirit of heaviness itself belongs to the primal forces (spirits of personality), and it is the one that brings us back to our physical body in the morning when we wake up. This falls within its sphere of influence, and that is good and right for us. However, among these spirits there are some who exceed their sphere of activity and want to work in the realm of the spirits of form. It is these who take hold of the etheric body of the esotericist when he gives in to discontent, and work on him in such a way that he becomes completely hypochondriacal. In the physical realm, this then expresses itself in diseases of the digestive tract. This can also be said in exoteric lectures; in our esoteric lessons, we must always keep in mind that we are receiving direct messages from the Master, which he has intended specifically for esotericism.
