Scene 4
A landscape, which seeks to express the world of souls by its characteristic peculiarities.
Enter Lucifer and Ahriman. Johannes is seen at the right of the stage in deep meditation. What follows is experienced by him in meditation.
Lucifer:
O man, know thou thyself; O man, feel me.
From spirit guidance, thou hast freed thyself,
And into earth’s free realms thou hast escaped.
Midst earth’s confusion thou didst seek to prove
Thine own existence; and to find thyself
Was thy reward, and was thy destiny.
