Fourth Lecture

So you see that when we speak of our building, we are truly not speaking of anything arbitrary, of anything whose forms and other artistic content have been created in such a way that one can simply, I would say, pause at these forms and contemplate them in the same way that one is compelled to contemplate many other formal motifs or even pictorial motifs that are emerging in the present. But, as I said, everything we have absorbed over the years from spiritual science and much else besides is expressed in this building in a way that is based on feeling, not on theoretical understanding. Therefore, it would be possible to talk about this building forever. But I leave it to your heart to carry out the individual suggestions I give. For the very purpose of the building will be to set hearts and souls in motion when they encounter the forms and their interrelationships, not interpreting them in an intellectual, symbolic way, but letting the heart, mind, and soul speak when you are in and around the building.
