The following verse is a verse which - once again - has provided me with opportunity for thought and self-reflection. It is thus a reminder to me to strive to always "remember" the "higher self" in the other, and to let others experience the "higher self" in me, striving to meet people out of love and compassion. Rudolf Steiner of course was a multifaceted genius. To me this verse expresses a wonderful hope; beautiful images to take into the depths of ones soul.
Create for yourself a new, indomitable perception of faithfulness. What is usually called faithfulness passes so quickly. Let this be your faithfulness:
You will experience moments.... fleeting moments.... with the other person. The human being will appear to you then as if filled, irradiated with the archetype of his spirit.
And then there may be.... indeed will be.... other moments, long periods of time, when human beings are darkened. But you will learn to say to yourself at such times: "The Spirit makes me strong. I remember the archetype. I saw it once. No illusion, no deception shall rob me of it."
Always struggle for the image that you saw. This struggle is faithfulness. Striving thus for faithfulness, we shall be close to one another, as if endowed with the protective powers of angels.
