As human beings, we are a stage where the eternal and the
transitory meet.
Our knowing is an experience of the eternal, for which we ourselves
are the organs of cognition.
Our action is the action of the eternal, for which we ourselves are
only mediators.
Understand therefore:
You are the primal spirit’s eye —through you, the spirit sees creation.
You are the primal spirit’s hand—through you, the spirit creates.
—Rudolf Steiner, Notebook, circa 1903
where the eternal and the transitory meet.
ReplyDeletereminds me of Novalis:
He who has stood on the mountain frontier of the world,
And looked across into the new land, into the abode of the Night
Truly he turns not again into the tumult of the world
Into the land where dwells the Light in ceaseless unrest.
ReplyDeleteme too, now that you mention.
