"It is north (...)" (p. 358)
"Where the earth grows stiff, the night's breathin' northern shine. There a
comet breaks open out of seeds, to stray through the darknesses. NORTHERN
LIGHT IS THE TRUTH SIGN OF THE WHIT-FLAME. Above the heads of the different
people it thus means reconciliation in the cold LIGHT, which is said to be
prior to the enflamed creation's origin. The NORTHERN LIGHT promises: One day
the earth will out of itself be a shining star. The northern light
announces: The dust particle earth will be the freedom spark in the universe.
This wish out of the dark star will never be fulfilled in the world of
appearances: it shall be realized in the Spirit. That's what creation is
made for, what wo/man is born for. The Son of Man stays among us, so that the
Spirit may come on us to reign. When the northern shine is flickerin' above
the ice mountains, it's indicating that the whit-flames are dawning through
the people. When a human being experiences enlightment, a peony - visible for
those who walk its glaciers - is licking in the polar night. The inner sun is
dawning as northern shine: Northern shine creates awe inside the creature,
connects us to peace, calls for freedom inside the human being".
(m.o.p.a.t. from Theodor Däubler's "Idee des Nordlichts")
