During the day, each person absorbs a drop of this, like a sponge, and releases it again at night. And so, at night, the astral body submerges into its source, and at night it is back in its home. Only a clairvoyant can tell you what it looks like. The ordinary person has no insight into it, but it is different for the clairvoyant. During his conscious sleep at night, a world of light and colors opens up for him. He consciously lives in the world of the harmony of the spheres, in which the astral body of every human being also lives unconsciously. And this world is not a fantasy. This harmony of the spheres is a reality! It is the source of all things, it is the same as what is called in the Christian religion the Kingdoms of Heaven. The initiates have always known this. — It may sound outrageous to many when I say: Goethe knew that too! When a person is transported up into heaven, he hears the harmonies of the spheres from which the whole world was created, and Goethe expresses this when he says:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Und so taucht in der Nacht der Astralleib unter in das, woher er stammt, er ist nachts wieder in seiner Heimat. Wie die ausschaut, kann Ihnen nur der Hellseher sagen. Der gewöhnliche Mensch hat keinerlei Einblick darin, doch bei dem Hellseher ist das anders, für ihn eröffnet sich in der Nacht in seinem bewussten Schlaf eine Welt von Licht und Farben, er lebt bewusst in der Welt der Sphärenharmonie, in der der Astralleib eines jeden Menschen unbewusst auch lebt. Und diese Welt ist keine Phantasie, diese Sphärenharmonie ist eine Wirklichkeit! Sie ist der Urgrund aller Dinge, es ist dasselbe, was man in der christlichen Religion nennt die Reiche der Himmel.
