Esoteric Lesson

Last time, a powerful image was presented to our souls. If this image has the right effect, we will tell ourselves that we should accept such an occult fact with our feelings, not with our intellect – for that only leads to endless reflection and confuses the soul and the spirit. But not only the imagination that front is back, top is bottom, light is darkness, sweet is bitter, bitter is sweet, and so on, but also imagine the person standing in front of us in such a way that the parts of the face that protrude recede and the colors appear in their opposite colors; for example, red appears green. Thus penetrate to the spiritual in the human being: light green—still clinging to the physical body; where the green darkens into blue, there it is more tangential to the spiritual. Thus slowly penetrate to the perception of the etheric body. That which is between the etheric body and the imagined counter-image: beauty as ugliness, ugliness as beauty — as some painters have depicted the spiritual as distortion in Jesus on the cross.
