### Meditation for the Third Degree

*According to Rudolf Steiner's original manuscript  
The participants' notes still bear the heading “The I speaks to the physical body”.*

Out of you I am born: Y. Earth

To you I give my temporal: B. Water

The seed of the eternal I take from you: M. Air

I fertilize it with my warmth: Fire

Its light illuminates your end: Quinta essentia.
