Record: unknown. How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here. Unknown is not an assurance of a stenogram: check the edition's own notes before resting an argument on one word.

> The Guardian asks: Where is earth’s firmness, that supported you? > Christ in us answers: I leave its solid ground, as long as the spirit carries me. > Lucifer in us answers: I feel delight, that I no longer need the support. > Ahriman answers: I will hammer it still harder by the spirit’s might. > The Guardian speaks: Where is water’s forming force, that permeated you? > Christ in us speaks: My life extinguishes it, as long as the spirit forms me. > Lucifer in us: My life expunges it, that I may be released from it. > Ahriman in us: My life affixes it, that I may carry it to spirit realms. > The Guardian: Where is air’s stimulation, that waked you? > Christ in us: My soul breathes heaven's air, as long as the spirit is about me. > Lucifer in us: My soul cares not for it in spirit blissfulness. > Ahriman in us: My soul absorbs it, that I may learn godlike to create. > The Guardian speaks: Where is fire’s cleansing, that inflamed in you the I? > Christ in us: My “I” blazes in God-Fire, so long as the spirit kindles me. > Lucifer in us: My “I” has flaming power through spirit sun-craft. > Ahriman in us: My “I” has its own fire, that flames purely through self-unfolding.
