‘Balancing the inner and outer movement of the I Organization through Spacial Dynamics
Rudolf Steiner wrote this text for Ita Wegman in October, 1923. It speaks volumes of what Ita Wegman called forth from Dr. Steiner.
~
What I speak out of my physical body is mere semblance--- I must speak out of my etheric body, to penetrate true reality:
1) You spirits beneath the Earth, press upon the soles of my feet. I walk over you and forth.
2) You spirits of moisture, stroke my skin. I push you to all sides.
3)You spirits of the air fill my inner depths. I unite myself with you.
4) You spirits of warmth, ensoul my inner depths. I live in you.
5) You spirits of light, permeate my inner depths with spirit. I think with you.
6) You spirits of forces, lame my forces. I overcome you.
7)You spirits of life, take my life. I await you in death.
Thus speaking this, I am in my etheric body.
Let all of you come: colors, sounds, words of the etheric world.

Christ you who shines in my thinking
Christ, you who lives in my feeling
Christ, you who works in my willing
Illumine me from my head to my heart
Weave in me from my heart to my limbs
Radiate from my limbs into the world
That I may behold your loving being of light
Learn[ing] to live in your sacrificial will
as it lives and works in humanity’s becoming
And so I feel a part of your being
And so fully imbued by your stream of love
Not I, the Christ wills in me
Christus, der Du leuchtest in meinem Denken
Christus, der Du lebest in meinem Fühlen
Christus, der Du wirkest in meinem Wollen
Leuchte mir vom Kopf hin zum Herzen
Weben in mir vom Herzen zu den Gliedern
Strahle von den Gliedern in die Welt
Dass ich schaue, dein lichtes Liebewesen
Leben lern in deiner Opferwillen
Wie er wirkend lebt im Menschheitswerden
Und so fühl ich mich als Glied von deinem Wesen
Und so durchdrungen ganz von deinem Liebesstrom
Nicht ich, der Christus will in mir
R. Steiner to E. Leinhas
