THE FOUNDATION STONE
of the Anthroposophical Society
Soul of Man!
Thou livest in the Limbs
Which bear thee through the world of space
Into the ocean-being of the Spirit.
Practice Spirit-recollection
In depths of soul,
Where in the wielding
World-Creator-Life
Thine own I comes to being
Within the l of God.
Then in the AII-World-beng of Man
Thou wilt truly live.
For the Father-Spirit of the Heights holds sway
In Depths of Worlds begetting Life.
Spirits of Strength! (Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones)
Let there ring out from the Heights
What in the Depths be echoed,
Speaking:
From God, Mankind has Being, (Ex Deo Nascimur)
The Elemental Spirits hear It
In East, West, North and South:
May human beings hear it!
Soul of Man!
Thou livest in the beat of Heart and Lung
Which leads thee through the rhythmic tides of Time
Into the feeling of thine own Soul-being.
Practice Spirit-mindfulness
In balance of the soul.
Where the surging
Deeds of the World's Becoming
Do thine own I unite
Unto the I of the World.
Then 'mid the weaving of the Soul of Man
Thou wilt truly feel.
For the Christ-Will in the encircling Round holds sway
In the Rhythms of the Worlds, blessing the soul.
Spirits of Light! (Kyriotetes, Dynamis, Exusiai)
Let there be fired from the East
What through the West is formed,
Speaking:
In Christ, Death becomes Life. (In Christo Morimur)
The Elemental Spirits hear it
In East, West, North and South:
May human beings hear it!
Soul of Man!
Thou livest in the resting Head
Which from the ground of the Eternal
Opens to thee the Thoughts of Worlds.
Practice Spirit-vision
In quietness of Thought,
Where the eternal aims of Gods
World-Being's Light
Do thine own I bestow
For they free Willing.
Then from the ground of the Spirit in Man
Thou wilt truly think.
For the Spirit's Universal Thoughts hold sway
In the Being of all Worlds, craving for Light.
Spirits of Soul! (Archai, Archangels, Angels)
Let this be prayed in the Depths
And from the Heights be answered,
Speaking:
In the Spirit's Universal Thoughts, the soul awakens.
(Per Spiritum Sanctum Reviviscimus)
The Elemental Spirts hear it
In East, West, North and South:
May human beings hear it!
At the turning-point of Time
The Spirit-Light of the World
Entered the stream of Earthly Being:
Darkness of Night
Had held its sway;
Day-radiant Light
Poured into the souls of men:
Light that gives warmth
To simple Shepherd's Hearts
Light that enlightens
The wise Heads of Kings.
O Light Divine,
O Sun of Christ!
Warm Thou our Hearts,
Enlighten Thou our Heads,
That good may become
What from our Hearts we would found
And from our Heads direct
With single purpose.
