Esoteric Lessons Volume 2
GA 266-2 1910-1912
From this volume, the insight that I took most was the idea that the divine thinks in us. It thinks in us, it thinks us, and this is revealed in subtle moments. The developing student begins to notice the changes in their thought body.
An esoteric student may suddenly experience a moment in the midst of exoteric life when he feels that it is not he who is thinking at that moment, but that he is perceiving his thought body, as it were, with the thoughts weaving and working within him. He will have the intense feeling that something is thinking (feeling, willing) within him. This weaving and working of thoughts is always present, but in the subconscious, and only in very special moments does it enter consciousness.
The divine powers manifest themselves in a chaste, even modest manner. Much less beneficial is the so-called atavistic, inherited clairvoyance of the exotericists. The devil reveals himself in a turbulent manner, in strong, tangible images. In a delicate, modest, dreamlike way, God reveals himself to the esotericist.
