Solitude is necessary for the esotericist; joint meditation and prayers form a group soul. The soul must become strong within itself; on the path of esotericism, this also includes feelings of loneliness and of not existing [for others]. This can cause either pain or joy. When a person has all theosophical knowledge within themselves, the thoughts of the gods work within them. How the four-membered human being came into being, or the development of the planets, existed in the thoughts of the gods before humans existed. At the time of Lemuria, these thoughts lived in human beings with the fire of the gods, but they became colder and colder until the event of Golgotha, then Christ came, and now the thoughts of the gods are to be animated again by the divine fire. Just as the three kingdoms of nature are before us, so behind us are the three hierarchies of angels, archangels, and archai. Just as a person with a sick inner life is afraid that the flower might devour him, so in esoteric development there is a moment of fear that one might be lifted backward, as if sucked up by the hierarchies. On the other hand, with every pain, every joy, one says: the Holy Spirit is working everything in you, thereby giving you strength and self-preservation as you ascend into the higher worlds. From the realm of the spirits of thought, the gods of the Father, through the fire of Christ, the Son, into the realm of the Holy Spirit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Esoteric Lesson","site_heading":"Maya, Spiritual Perception, and Esoteric Development","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.
