The seeking soul finds the spiritual world; the soul finds the Holy Grail which has now become the symbol of the spiritual world. Individual Initiates have experienced what is here described. They have gone the way of Parsifal, have become as kings looking down on the three bodies. The Initiate says to himself: ‘I am king over my purified astral body which can only be purified when I strive to emulate *Christ*.’ He must not hold to any outer link, to anything in the external world, but unite himself in the innermost depths of his soul with the Christ Principle. Everything that binds him with the world of sense must fall away in that supreme moment. Lohengrin is the representative of an Initiate. It is not permitted to ask his name or rank, in other words, what connects him with the world of sense. He who has neither name nor rank, is called a “homeless” man. Such a man is permeated through and through with the Christ Principle. He too looks down on the ether-body which has become Life-Spirit, as upon something that is now separate from the astral body. By this ether-body he is borne upwards to the higher worlds, where the laws of space and time do not hold sway. The symbol of this ether-body and its organs, is the Swan who bears Lohengrin over the sea in a boat (the physical body), over the material world. The physical body is felt to be an instrument.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The European Mysteries and Their Initiates","site_heading":null,"date":"1909-05-06","location":null,"word_count":262,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/57/1909-05-06/p021","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2014","book_title":"Where and How Does One Find the Spirit?","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA057/English/eLib2014/19090506p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Aber da waren sie auch wie jene, die als Könige auf die drei Leiber zurückschauten. Die das erlebten, sagten sich: Ich throne über meinem gereinigten Astralleibe, der aber nur gereinigt, geläutert ist dadurch, daß er nachfolgte dem Christus. Nicht durch irgendeinen äußeren Zusammenhang, nicht an irgend etwas, was mit der Außenwelt verbindet, durfte er hängen, sondern er mußte sich in der innersten Seele verbinden mit dem Christus-Prinzip.

Er blickt auch auf den Äther- oder Lebensleib, der Lebensgeist geworden ist, herunter als auf etwas, was von dem astralischen Leibe getrennt ist, was gesondert ist. Er ist es, der ihn hinaufträgt in die höheren Welten, wo die Raum- und Zeitgesetze nicht gelten. Dieser Ätherleib und seine Organe entsprechen dem Schwan. Er trägt den Lohengrin über das Meer in einem Kahn, im physischen Leibe, über das Materielle. Den physischen Leib empfindet man als den Kahn.
