May the Chorus of Heavenly Hosts Speak Through Me

Rudolf Steiner gave exercises to particular individuals for their personal practice. We have them made them available online in English with this specific exercise linked below. He indicates that while the words do not convey the higher fact itself, they offer instruction for developing the attitude through which the higher fact is attained.

When the higher self has taken complete possession of the person, when the personality shell has fallen away, then the whole choir of higher spirits can speak through him, just as the sensual world speaks through him before – in order to prepare for this moment, one must develop within oneself the attitude that renounces defending one's own, separate self. One ceases to be a warrior; one becomes an instrument of the Warrior.
