One should not think that the severity of these exercises can be expected of everyone, but those who submit to them will also attain a high level of knowledge by the Christian path.

If it could speak, it would have to say: You mineral kingdom, you are admittedly lower than I, but I owe my higher existence to you. And when man looks around at life, he must admit to himself: If I have come far in the spiritual, then others must work for me. We must therefore bow down in humility and gratitude to those who stand below us. “Whoever wants to be first will be last in the kingdom of heaven,” is a word of the gospel. This practice eventually leads to the inner image of the washing of feet. Christ washes the feet of the apostles to offer them the tribute of his thanks. He who lives in these conceptions of humility will realize that the image of the washing of feet appears to him in the form of an astral dream.

Zu berücksichtigen ist dabei, daß die christliche Einweihung von allen durchgemacht wurde, die das Christentum aus einer okkulten Tiefe heraus lehren sollten, zum Beispiel auch von den Priestern der ersten christlichen Jahrhunderte. Diese Einweihungen haben sich noch lange erhalten, sind aber allmählich etwas verändert worden, und nur in bestimmten engen Kreisen wurden diese strengen Übungen noch durchgemacht. Man glaube nicht, daß die Strenge dieser Übungen jedem zugemutet werden kann, aber wer sich ihnen unterwirft, wird auch zu einer hohen Stufe der Erkenntnis auf christlichem Wege gelangen. Christus ist in dieser Hinsicht gleichsam der Urguru für alle christlichen Schüler auf diesem Wege.

Man kommt zu ihr, indem man monatelang in folgenden Vorstellungen zu leben versucht: Die Pflanze kann nicht leben ohne das unter ihr stehende Mineralreich.

Und wenn der Mensch sich im Leben umsieht, so muß er sich eingestehen: Habe ich es im Geistigen weit gebracht, so müssen dafür andere für mich arbeiten. Wir müssen uns deshalb in Demut und Dankbarkeit zu denen hinunterneigen, die unter uns stehen. «Wer da will der Erste sein, der wird der Letzte sein im Himmelreich», lautet ein Wort des Evangeliums. Diese Übung führt schließlich zum inneren Bilde der Fußwaschung. Christus wäscht den Aposteln die Füße, um ihnen den Tribut seines Dankes darzubringen. Wer in diesen Demutsvorstellungen lebt, der merkt, daß ihm in Form eines Astraltraumes das Bild der Fußwaschung erscheint.

Der Schüler lebt dann nicht mehr in seinem Leibe, sondern er trägt ihn wie einen Gegenstand, wie das Kreuzesholz. Diese Übungen führen zu der Vision, daß sich der Schüler selbst gekreuzigt sieht.
