10. Spruch zur Meditation den Lehrern der freien Waldorfschule
10. A Meditation Quote for the Teachers of the Free Waldorf School
Geistiges Blicken,
Wende dich schauend nach Innen;
Herzliches Tasten
Rühre am zarten Seelen-Sein;
Im ahnenden Geistes-Blicken,
Im herzhaften Seelen-Tasten,
a webt sich Bewußt-Sein.
Bewußt-Sein, das aus dem Oben
Und dem Unten des Menschen-Wesens
Bindet Welten-Helle
An das Erden-Dunkel.
Geistiges Blicken
Herzliches Tasten
Erblicke, Ertaste
Im Menschen-Innern
Webende Welten-Helle
In waltendem Erdendunkel:
Mein eigenes Menschen-Bilde-Kraft
Zeugendes
Krafterschaffendes
Willentragendes
Selbst.
Spiritual vision,
Turn your gaze inward;
Heartfelt Feeling
Stir the tender essence of the soul;
In the intuitive Spirit-vision,
In the heartfelt groping of the soul,
consciousness weaves itself.
Consciousness, which from the Above
and the Below of the human being
binds the light of the worlds
to the darkness of the earth.
Spiritual vision
Heartfelt groping
Behold, feel
Within the human being
The light of the worlds weaving
In the reigning darkness of the earth:
My own human-image-power
Generating
Power-creating
Will-bearing
Self.
