As these nature spirits rise up out of the earth so do the flowers in the meadows rise to new life. The grass rises again and turns green while the sap in the trees rise and the trees sprout new leaves. The bees rise up out of the ground once more to meet the nectar of spring. All of life has risen again. He pauses to let the previous sentence take hold of Maria and Eva. He then explains that these nature spirits comprise the soul of the earth and they follow the Christ, the EGO-I AM of the earth, up out of the earth to meet the sun thereby giving new life to all things in nature. He ends here and there soon follows a brief silence.
Maria understands that Rosenkreutz is an exceptional soul. She tells him that she is aware that he is a man who is truly devoted to God. She has heard that he can see and speak with angels. She asks him if he would bestow a blessing on her and Eva. He smiles and asks them to bow their heads. He places his hands over their heads and prays, “ Father in Heaven, we thank you for the Advent of Your Son, the Christ, Who lives and dwells with us and in us. Let us receive His Light into our souls so that we may grow in Him Who is the Light. Let He Who is the Living Water fill our souls. Let He Who is the Bread of Life nourish our spirits. Let He Who is the Good Shepherd lead us to everlasting Life as He is the Resurrection and the Life. Let His Light shine upon us as He is the Light of the World. Let us not be misguided or dissuaded into darkness but let Your Holy Spirit, Who has come as our Guide and Comforter, protect us and lead us to the Light of the Christ. Father, I pray to You to bless these two who are Your children; they who were created from Your own Self and out of Your own Will. Bless this mother and child who are the spirits of Your own Love, through the Christ, Your Son. Amen.”
Rosenkreutz now tells Maria and Eva that the eyes of their souls are now momentarily opened as they can now perceive the soul forces of the earth; the earth’s nature spirits.
[In esotericism, these nature spirits are: gnomes, salamanders, sylphs and undines. The ‘gnomes’ are small human-like beings that work their forces into earthly matter, rock and most anything solid.
Salamanders are like small whisps of fire and heat that give warmth to living, warm blooded animals. They also work in the earth with anything pertaining to heat and in the air as warmth.
Sylphs are also very small beings. these beings are seen as having a feminine quality. They live in the air as currents of air and breezes.
Undines are very small water spirits which also have a feminine quality. They not only exist in water but also in water vapor as steam and clouds. They are also responsible for the flow of fluids in plants, flowers, trees etc., that allow these things to live and grow.]
Both Maria and Eva can now see the nature spirits. They can see the gnomes darting in and out of the rocks and ground. They see undines working upon the flowers to support their growth. A small breeze blows through the hair of Eva while she sees the sylphs flying through and around her hair which brings her to laughter. There are also sylphs guiding a bee from one flower to another. Also there are salamanders intermingling with sylphs to bring on a breeze of warm air. Soon, though, their vision of the nature spirits begins to fade as quickly as it came. Rosenkreutz tells them that this should convince them that all of nature is filled with spirit and that much higher beings are also all around them at all times. He tells them that it is their perseverance toward a higher spiritual life that will bring them closer to these higher beings. He also tells them that they must actively seek for the Christ in everyone and in everything in nature so that they may find Him in their own souls.
