Initiation or Consecration

Now Spiritual Science presents him with a great ideal, a real ideal. This Spiritual Science shows man how he can gradually develop within himself the power that leads back to the purification and cleansing of the nature of desire, which leads him to a place where, while retaining his present state of consciousness, he will live again in the pure, chaste body at higher stages of development, at future stages of development, where he will have overcome what he necessarily had to take into himself during the transition to the higher stages. What the teacher presented to the student was a real ideal for the future: You will have the plant nature again! And he was given the means to attain it. He was told that all of humanity would one day return to this stage, where human beings would have developed pure spiritual power from within themselves. Then they would no longer be bound to their lustful nature, no longer holding a lustful organ of fertilization up to the spiritual ray of the sun. This organ, which humans will then have attained and which was presented as a real organ, even though it is a spiritual organ that will be held up to the spiritual sunbeam in the future, is called the Holy Grail in the initiation training.
