This God, who was to enter into the innermost being of man, into his I, appeared to the clairvoyant consciousness of Moses through the inspiration of the priest. And through clairvoyance, Moses beheld God, that is, through that which could still be kindled in him of clairvoyant power — which is indicated to us by the image of the burning bush. As this is described, everyone who understands these things recognizes that an astral-clairvoyant vision of a reality is present. The new God, who was to have his being in the ego, appeared in the burning bush. And Moses asked this God: If I am now to lead my people in your name, what must I say, who has sent me? You can read it in the Bible yourself – even if the translations of the Bible are otherwise very inadequate, here they are correct. To the question: Who has sent you?, Moses is given the answer: Tell your people that 'I am' has sent you. And that means: That divine power has sent you, which kindles in the innermost human center the possibility that man can speak in this innermost center “I am”, thus attaches his existence to himself, experiences his existence himself: “I am, who I am”!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Und durch Hellsehen erblickte Moses den Gott, das heißt durch das, was in ihm an hellseherischer Kraft noch entfacht werden konnte — was uns angedeutet wird durch das Bild vom brennenden Dornbusch. So wie dies geschildert wird, erkennt jeder, der die Dinge versteht, daß ein astralisch-hellseherisches Anschauen einer Wirklichkeit vorliegt.
