THE EVOLUTION
9/3 The fourth painting. I was urged to maintain steady concentration for half an hour in order to draw down a mediumistic stream. Obstacles arose from the group of five [the friends who seem to have been very anxious and critical!] (The painting has been altered on the man's side) note: the snail /black/ shall have one yellow and one blue horn. The snail dotted and lightly coloured. I noted that this fourth painting had become unclear. This was confirmed by Doctor Steiner... The woman shall be depicted in a wholly essenic colour, that is, blue. Rays should emanate from the man in black, from the woman in white (this too has not been so executed). The Evolution in pink. Originally it was instructed that the man should hold in his hand a coal-black bowl, and the water within it coloured â, that is, yellow and blue. The shells within, pale/pure so, and the horns of the white snail. My friends distanced themselves from my work because they were more preoccupied with the dangers of mediumship than with its blessing. The WUS symbol, here the two yellow and blue shells. Through a great effort of will I had managed to free myself and now followed my guides, who were glad to have brought me to the point at which I now stood. The struggling essenes who may make use of me in the building up of the globe have imparted to me so much strength that health seethes within me. Health â not in the ordinary sense, but in a mediumistic sense... Here there was talk of painting No. 4, which I did not fully manage to understand, but which I could nonetheless calmly leave, for it was clearly a WUS image and can be completed by a skilled hand (Doctor Steiner pointed out that the fault lay in the fact that the man and the woman were not standing at an equal stage of development. It has since been altered by the instrument).

EVOLUTIONEN
9/3 FjĂ€rde tavlan. Uppmanades till ihĂ€rdig koncentration 1/2 timme för att neddraga en medial ström. Hinder utgick frĂ„n de fems grupp [vĂ€nnerna som tycks ha varit mycket oroliga och kritiska!] (Tavlan Ă€r pĂ„ mannens sida Ă€ndrad) obs snigeln /svarta/ skall hava ett gult och ett blĂ„tt horn. Snigeln prickad och lĂ€tt fĂ€rgad. Jag antecknade att denna fjĂ€rde tavla blivit oklar. Detta bekrĂ€ftades av Dokt. Steiner... Kvinnan skall upptecknas med helt yssĂ©isk fĂ€rg, d.Ă€. blĂ„tt. StrĂ„lar skulle utgĂ„ frĂ„n mannen i svart, frĂ„n kvinnan vitt (ej heller detta Ă€r sĂ„ utfört). Evolutionen i rosa. Ursprungligen blev tillsagt att mannen skulle hĂ„lla i sin hand en kolsvart skĂ„l och vattnet i denna â fĂ€rgat, det Ă€r gult och blĂ„tt. SnĂ€ckorna inuti skĂ€ra sĂ„ och den vita snigelns horn. Mina vĂ€nner togo avstĂ„nd frĂ„n mitt arbete pĂ„ grund av att de mer fĂ€ste tanken vid mediumskapets faror Ă€n vid dess vĂ€lsignelse. WUS-symbolen, hĂ€r de bĂ„da gula och blĂ„a snĂ€ckorna. Genom en stor kraftanstrĂ€ngning hade jag lyckats frigöra mig och följde nu mina ledare som vore glada att hava fĂ„tt mig till den punkt jag nu stode pĂ„. De kĂ€mpande yssĂ©er som kunna begagna mig vid klotets uppbyggande hava bibringat mig sĂ„ mycken kraft att det sjuder av hĂ€lsa inom mig. HĂ€lsa â ej i vanlig bemĂ€rkelse utan i medialt hĂ€nseende... HĂ€r talades om tavla â 4 som jag ej lyckades fullt förstĂ„, men som jag dock med lugn kunde lĂ€mna ty den var en tydlig WUS bild och den kan av skicklig hand fullbordas (Doktor Steiner pĂ„pekade att felet lĂ„g dĂ€ri att man och kvinna ej stodo pĂ„ lika utveckling. Sedan har den Ă€ndrats av verktyget).
