Note that the pictures depict living forces of existence in the higher world; and these higher spiritual forces have a profound effect on the observer of the pictures. They act directly on forces that, corresponding to them, lie dormant in every human being. But their effect is only right if one looks at these pictures with the right inner soul disposition. Those who look at the pictures with theosophical mental images and theosophical feelings in their hearts will receive the most sacred from them. If you want to hang them anywhere or put them anywhere, where you will encounter them with everyday thoughts and feelings, you will feel an unfavorable effect, which can go as far as a bad influence on your physical life. You should act accordingly and only enter into a relationship with the pictures that is in harmony with a devotion to the spiritual worlds. Such pictures should serve as decoration for a room that serves a higher life; they should never be found or viewed in places where people's thoughts are not in harmony with them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Images of Occult Seals and Columns","site_heading":null,"date":"1907-10-21","location":null,"word_count":199,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/284/1907-10-21/p017","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Images of Occult Seals and Columns","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA284/English/SOL2024/19071021c01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Man richte sich darnach und trete zu den Bildern nur in ein Verhältnis, das im Einklange steht mit einer Hingabe an die geistigen Welten.
