Mantram of the 4. Lesson Feel how the earth's depths Their forces, your essence-being, pressing into the body-limbs. You lose yourself in them, If you, Your will powerless entrust to their striving; They will darken your I. Feel how from world distances Godly-powers let their spirit-brightness Let it shine into your soul being. Find yourself in them loving, And they creating, wisdom-weaving You as self in their circles Strong for spiritual works of good. Feel how in heaven's heights Selfhood selflessly can exist, If it spirit-filled the thought-powers Follows in the pursuit of height And with courage gets the words which gracefully intoning from above Into man's true essence-being. When you see the glassy eye of the third beast, stand firm and feel what the depths of the earth want from you. If you see the second beast's Mockery face, receive sunlight lovingly. If you freeze through the first beast's bony spirit, warm up humanly as a human being by raising your heart warmly to the heights of heaven. Rudolf Steiner, 1924 (GA270)
