Mantram from Lessen 14 Guardian: Where is the earth's firmness, which supported you? Christ: I leave its ground, as long as the spirit carriy me. Lucifer: I feel delightful, for from now on I do not need its support. Ahriman: I will through spirit's power hammer it even firmer. Guardian: Where is the water's shaping-force which pervaded you? Christ: My life extinguishes it, as long as the spirit forms me. Lucifer: My life melts it away, so I am released from it. Ahriman: My life solidifies it, so I transfer it to the spirit-realm. Guardian: Where is the air's stimulating force, which awakened you? Christ: My soul breathes the heaven's air, as long as the spirit around me exists. Lucifer: My soul respect it not in the spirit's Blessedness. Ahriman: My soul absorbs it, that I may learn divine creation. Guardian: Where is the fire's cleansing, which aflammed your I? Christ: My I blazes in God's fire, as long as the spirit ignites me. Lucifer: My I has the force of flame through the spirit's sun-power. Ahriman: My I has own-fire, which flammes through pure self-enfolding. Rudolf Steiner, 1924 (GA270)
