ANTHROPOS
Man must find his Higher Self
Not in himself but in the individuals
Who have reached the highest.
R. Steiner
1
Mankind has lost its guardianship.
The epoch started with a seed– a dot.
Archai of our Time approached Man to keep
The Tree of Life, to renew the plot.
Grow up and up to reach the source.
Become a child in Paradise!
So hard to bear its fateful loss.
I choose my freedom with the Christ!
Not Homo Sapiens but Liberties is free!
He roots into the very depth of truth,
Accomplishing the act of the rebirth.
The world affirmed in Ich lets out the Tree;
Linne and Haeckel formed it slim and smooth.
Descendants carry on the cross on Earth.
2
Mankind has lost its guardianship
Initiate himself has sanctified
Creation out of nothingness as worship
And then to pupils later clarified:
"It takes an effort to create out of silence,
An individual's effort, not a herd's,
That's not an act of vandalism, nor violence,
But sacrifice, high morals, not just words.
The culture of the heart is for self-knowledge.
Barbarians were rebels in the past:
Preparatory impulses they brought."
The Clairvoyant without sermons did acknowledge:
The altar for the conscious soul was cast.
The epoch started with a seed –a dot.
3
The epoch started with a seed –a dot.
Of ties by blood he broke the rigid limit.
And shifted stress on the appropriate support,
Accentuating always bonds in spirit.
He dotted "I" and working out first
The basic core of the Spiritual Science
Set frame for true research and then went forth,
In following the Christ without defiance.
"Not to acknowledge Christ is greatest of disasters…"
He founded Bau on Dornach hill so steep,
A new Jerusalem, аМесса.
Erecting stones means working hard "ad astra",
The Hierarchies heard the echo
Archai of our Time approached Man to keep.
4
Archai of our Time approached Man to keep
His Word and grant a blessing wave;
To bring up not a Roman or a Greek,
But friend of Hierarchies, not a slave.
The Temple rose as joint endeavor
The world from West to East to face.
The Teacher of the Spirit acts for ever,
Embodying ideals –divine grace.
He learned from heart the worth of things around him.
He managed to embrace all spheres of life
In taking care of the sprouts –fit or not.
Breathed life in them and that enabled him
To work out live philosophy from "I".
The Tree of Life renewed the plot...
5
The Tree of Life renewed the plot…
The Teacher showed Christianity a Path.
Helped open leaves and buds on half-dry lot:
He got insight in Nature, Future, Past
And saw pro-pflanzen as the image of the soul.
Gave it an impulse to develop and to bloom;
Defended Goethe's theory –the role
Of interjawel bone as human's heirloom.
He pointed out the difference, to great suprise,
Between adjusted animals and man.
Though clever, monkeys lack resource.
The Darwin theory still dims the eyes
And lulls the vigilance of drowsy gentlemen.
Grow up and up to reach the source!
6
Grow up and up to reach the source,
Тоblow up the habitual egotism,
To learn compassion with the prodigal's remorse
That is the christian code, that is monism
Of self-denial and this is the ideal;
In moral –and we know it too well –
To make a step, if make it real,
To curb oneself means to descend to hell.
In balance learn the art of observation,
In every stranger see the Christ, His face;
I learn the "science" of to die and then to rise.
As a reward and confirmation
Take in Golgotha's light in every case.
Become a child in Paradise!
7
Become a child in Paradise!
Aware of the shame of the initial fall.
Do love the world of wonder and surprise,
With tenderness respond to baby's call!
The heart from head don't tear –that's award!
In active thinking when you fear and doubt.
One wins the greatest of rewards,
That's what the proper healing is about.
While implementing the gestalt of Man
The soul is fortified in cherishing the Christ.
It must consolidate it's inner force.
Forget the grandeur of the Heaven's plan,
Naivety must soon be sacrificed.
So hard to bear its fateful loss.
8
So hard to bear its fateful loss.
Yet, nostalgia - tail of paradise from crack.
Socrates thanks to virtues dared to cross
The Styx, took poison, never bowed his back.
Seek for the impulse of the Christ as windy breath!
Out of your helplessness and weaknesses and scares
Draw consolation, in the death
Find your spiritual way to go up the Stairs!
"I trust - for it's impossible, absurd, –
Tertullianus said, - it's crap!"
This phrase for putting into practice cries.
It helps, but if you can not use the sword
Illusions would be banged like tail in trap.
I choose my freedom with the Christ!
9
I choose my freedom with the Christ:
Prepared for the enemy to fight,
To gain through it myself and in the highest,
In moral force to wake up to the light!
It is the method of the nothingness in mind,
Like effort towards the upper world in spirit.
A moment of achievement of this kind
Is always progress for selfknowledge in it.
To make the ample use of supernature,
To sacrifice your ego in free will,
To fight thefoe –that's the true way for me.
The "Representative" will rise through doubt and danger
In the awarence of the aim in front so real.
Not Homo Sapiens but Libertis is free!
10
Not Homo Sapiens but Liberties is free
From prejudice and passion of the blood,
Creating impulses that he deserves to see
In gesture of the Christ of love and sword;
It is the gesture of the Anthropos: Omega
And Alpha, that's enough to hold "I am",
Acknowledging co-brothers' higher ego,
Expanding sense of family in them.
The individual will straighten up this way
Among the equals who Surround him anywhere.
"Ich" stays with you, beware not to lose", –
The Christ has said. Men consciously obey,
For he who can assume the cross to bear,
He roots into the very depth of truth...
11
He roots into the very depth of truth,
Identifying with the Earth a tiny grain,
Where Christ is dwelling among us and whose
Sweat, blood and tears were not in vain.
Died from the Sun, He reached the Earth at last
And on the Earth to conquer and to smash
Death. Thorns stung, called on Him to pass,
To come through nothingness of Universal crash.
At dawn He resurrected by His will
In the renewed all-human future culture;
The Word is heard: South, West, East, North!
The Master lays the Stone on Dornach hill
And here erects the footstone for the Sculpture,
Accomplishing the act of the rebirth.
12
Accomplishing the act of the rebirth,
Embodied in the Bau Master waited
For faithful followers to go forth:
"There is no image in the world as elevated
As the Golgotha cross," –he used to say.
It keeps the mystery of flesh becoming Word.
The mystery of all the Earth decay
As brooding of new life that must be heard".
Through the construction concept, through stained glass
He spoke, inspired by the coming dawn,
Reflecting transformation that agrees
The smaller helmet with the greater mass.
The collegues coloured frescos in the dome.
The world affirmed in Ich lets out the Tree.
13
The world affirmed in Ich lets out the Tree
Engraving Ich in paintings up the dome
The Master raised a person from the knees,
Uniting all the strangers and our own.
Jesus Christus is the core of the alliance
There are no longer bolsheviks or others.
The teacher warned: "There is no other chance
For Europe, the world in battle will shudder.
It will be trialed on its own skin."
He warned of coming of the Beast for them
Тоdiffer friends from enemies in truth.
And He assumed the burden of the sin
In following Ich as Tree of Life of Men;
Linne and Haeckel formed it slim and smooth.
14
Linne and Haeckel formed it slim and smooth.
The Tree of family has yielded fruit:
The error crept in the conception to confuse
And in the history of nations took the root.
Genesis theory emerged meanwhile,
The gross defect of nature here got stuck
Akin to monkeys, to wild animals, reptiles
Instincts determine conduct.
What is the use of breading of the kind?
What means to be "the Crown of Nature"?
Hereditory dominance is worse
Than personal attachments of the blind.
Man, work in spirit on your nature!
Descendants carry on the cross on Earth.
15
Descendants carry on the cross on Earth.
The path keeps forking here and there.
The branches will entangle. It is worth
For roots will fix again up in the air!
So weak and meek sounds the appeal.
The heart may fail to grasp the bread.
The mind neglects that sort of meal.
And prejudice may reign in head.
Yet...in the hierarchal realm of freedom
Take care of the sick, you, people here:
You are responsible for every one in keep;
You livinglysupport the Dome,
The Universalsaving sphere.
Mankind has lost its guardianship!
