Feeling yourself within the thought-world of the cosmos

'Meditate sometimes on the idea: “I think my thoughts,” and “I am a thought which is thought by the Hierarchies of the cosmos.” My eternal part consists in this — that the thought of the Hierarchies is eternal. And when I have once been thought out by one category of the Hierarchies, then I am passed on — as a human thought is passed on from teacher to pupil — from one category to another, so that this in turn may think me in my true, eternal nature. Thus I feel myself within the thought-world of the cosmos.'--Rudolf Steiner, January 23, 1914
