31. Life, Revelation, Wisdom, Love

In the mineral kingdom, number and manifestation have passed over into light. This light and the knowledge gained from it ennoble the astral body of man in such a way that he can now proceed to ennoble his life body, the etheric body, by penetrating further into the essence of world life and adapting to it. As this appears in the plant kingdom, in number and rhythm, so must the human being also ascend to it through integration into the laws of number and rhythm, through penetration into the manifestation of life. With this penetration of his knowledge into the revelation, his life body is transformed into an ever more perfect expression of the revelation, and with it the plant kingdom in which he has found the revelation. - By penetrating into the revelation and merging into the rhythm, the human being unites completely with life, with the self. Through this power of the self, he can now ennoble the life in the animal kingdom and transform his physical body in the same way as he has transformed his astral and etheric bodies. On an even higher level, what the human being has developed on the first three levels and perfected on the following three levels is expressed more fully, and the whole being of the human being has now become an expression of his I, of his self.
