EL,
Berlin, 3-27-'14
Even when we
can't be together much physically we can always feel united in the
spirit. Our thoughts touch each other in the etheric world. Our ego
expands in the thoughts that are thought by our etheric body and not
by the physical body which is only a mirror or echo. It's not I
who think — it thinks me. The more we make our etheric body
independent the more we experience that our ego expands into distant
spaces, and we also experience our inner life in solitude and
one finds one's other, true self in the depths. A man in his skin is
only as if in a sheath in which spiritual forces surge stormily up
and down. It's as if our thoughts step out of us and around us like
figures. Then we experience our good and bad aspects —
our good side as if it points into the future and leads a sprouting
plant-life there — and our bad side that must not get to
actions, but remains purely at the thought level. So that it can
later serve as food for the good. Food for our three kingdoms only
arose because the beings who went through their human stage on
old Moon experienced their bad things meditatively, without letting
it become deed. Evil arose on earth because retarded Moon beings,
luciferic beings, meditate their bad thoughts not on Moon but
on earth now and inoculate it into men. On the other side we must
feel our ego spread out ever more in space and not inside our
physical sheath. The relation of our sensory surroundings to the
spirit is felt to be like that of air bubbles or spherically
shaped nothings to the water they're in. Experience this often and
repeatedly in us in thought. Three verses that we meditate in
morning, evening and on Sunday can help us here and to make our
etheric body independent. The first strophe expresses what's said in
Ex Deo nascimur,
the second in,
In Christo morimur,
the third in
Per Spiritum Sanctum reviviscimus:
(See above.)
