Antroposophia theomagica, das ist, eine Rede von der Natur des Menschen

According to this pattern, the Holy Spirit modeled and prepared the universal building. This mystery of the appearance of the image is perfectly demonstrated through the "magical dissolution" of bodies. For whoever understands how to imitate the first "Chemistry of the Spirit" An alchemical concept where the divine process of creation is replicated in a laboratory to understand the spiritual principles of nature by separating the primary elements in which life is imprisoned, can through ex-
