### The Meditation Saying “In spirit lay the germ of my body”

*used from a certain point on to conclude esoteric lessons.*

> In spirit lay the germ of my body.  
> And the spirit has incorporated into my body  
> The sensual eyes,  
> So that through them I may see  
> The light of the bodies.  
> And the spirit has imprinted on my body  
> Sensation and thought  
> And feeling and will  
> so that through them I may perceive the bodies  
> and act upon them.  
> In the spirit lay the germ of my body.
> In my body lies the germ of the spirit.
> And I will incorporate into my spirit
> the supersensible eyes,
> so that through them I may see the light of the spirits.
> And I will impress upon my spirit
> Wisdom and power and love,
> That through me the spirits may work
> And I shall become the self-conscious instrument
> Of their deeds.
> In my body lies the germ of the spirit.
