Week 5
Within the light that out of spirit depths
Weaves germinating power into space
And manifests the gods' creative work:
Within its shine, the soul's true being
Is widened into worldwide life
And resurrected
From narrow selfhood's inner power.
Week 31
The light from spirit depths
Strives to ray outwards, sun-imbued;
Transformed to forceful will of life
It shines into the senses' dullness
To bring to birth the powers
Whereby creative forces, soul-impelled,
Shall ripen into human deeds.
—Translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch

Here are two lectures given in London on the 17th and 18th of November 1922. They are from the lecture series entitled: Spiritual Relationships in the Human Organism and published in German as: Geistiger Zusammenhaenge in der Gestaltung des Menschlichen Organismus.
These two lectures were translated by D. S. Osmond from horthand reports unrevised by the Lecturer. The translation has been made from a much abbreviated German text. They are published in agreement with the Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.
