What I want to do, what I need, what I\u00a0 long for should be forgotten. Only then the warmth of the coming summer can pervade my spirit and my soul. I can try to repeat this inwardly: pervade my soul and spirit with the warmth that is outward in summer, not only feel the physical warmth, but also the spiritual warmth. I will have to try to lose myself in the light of the sun. If I keep my self in myself, I can only view the material, the physical world. I feel strongly how I can only find my true being if I lose my normal every-day self. It is not clear thinking that makes this evident to me, it is a presentiment, a notion, an intuition.<\/p>\n<p><em>Forgetting the narrowness of my own will<\/em><br \/><em>The warmth of the world, <\/em><br \/><em>Announcing the summer,<\/em><br \/><em>Pervades my spirit and my soul;<\/em><br \/><em>To lose myself in the light<\/em><br \/><em>Is the command of the spirit sight<\/em><br \/><em>And presentiment announces to me powerfully:<\/em><br \/><em>Lose yourself to find yourself.<\/em><br \/>\u00a0<br \/><em>Vergessend meine Willenseigenheit<\/em><br \/><em>Erf\u00fcllet Weltenw\u00e4rme sommerk\u00fcndend<\/em><br \/><em>Mir Geist und Seelenwesen;<\/em><br \/><em>Im Licht mich zu verlieren<\/em><br \/><em>Gebietet mir das Geistesschauen,<\/em><br \/><em>Und kraftvoll k\u00fcndet Ahnung mir:<\/em><br \/><em>Verliere dich, um dich zu finden.<\/p>\n<p>Rudolf Steiner, Seelenkalender nr. 9<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miekemosmuller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_4042b.jpg\" alt=\"Lose yourself to find yourself\" width=\"479\" height=\"338\"><br \/><\/em><em><strong>Lose yourself to find yourself by Mieke Mosmuller<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now comes the time when I not only have to give up my clear thinking, but also must forget my own will.
