Finally, we learn most of time: to be really human

According to Rudolf Steiner now we must recognize fully the import of the super-sensible for the development of the Consciousness Soul.

If we don't learn it now by doing so today human betrays mankind.

"We have to achieve our full humanity while on earth. If we fail in this, we betray ourselves and in the life after death plunge further down into the subhuman."

We must learn to be really human, that we may not experience the scandal of being less in the world-order than the animals—despite the Gods having determined us for higher things. 

The part of humanity that is lagging behind in human development will continue its development in the second cosmic wave of life, when the current animal races enters the human development phase. This is a dangerous development phase, because the self-awareness of the soul and the nwe ego is its consequence. Man will turn either to good or to evil, there is no intermediate form to choose from.

However:

In ancient days things could be left undone - but today destruction follows, said Steiner on 2 February 1923: Lecture Self Knowledge and the Christ Experience.

Then, not to become a candidate for life was an omission. Today a man destroys, through his own humanity, something in the whole human race if he does not strive after full humanity in his own life.

"Thus we must grasp the need to place ourselves consciously in the world on a higher Level of being, as the insect does instinctively, on a lower Level, in its world. "

Otherwise man delivers himself up to chaos, which the animal instinctively does not do. 

The animals do not neglect their part in the cosmic harmony, yet we as mankind turn the cosmic harmony into dissonance. 

"And thus, I may say, we shall heap upon ourselves cosmic scandal, if we do not learn to think in this way and make our consciousness accord with the demands of the age."

This we must learn in these days to join our feeling to our intellectual life. 

We must take in what would follow upon our not striving after that knowledge which makes us fully man. "It would be a scandal before the Gods themselves."

"We needed this helping hand"

You're a pawn, leading to the earth as a pawn on a cosmic stage

Pawn Hearts is the fourth album by English progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator, released on 12 November 1971. 

We know this masterpiece.

Peter Hammill explained the core theme of Pawn Hearts as a journey from ego-driven isolation to a sense of universal unity, symbolized by track of the Plague of lighthouse. The keeper in finding peace by accepting his small role a pawn within the vast, indifferent ocean, and the album art reflecting this with Hammill's directive to designer Paul Whitehead: 

"No matter if you're a king, a pauper or whatever – you're a pawn, leading to the Earth as a pawn on a cosmic stage."

Knowing about key symbols and meanings: The Lighthouse Keeper: Represents isolation and guilt, eventually realizing he's part of the greater world, finding peace in just being, swimming rather than controlling or saving.

The Pawn is a central metaphor for individuals caught in larger forces, highlighting the human condition of being small but connected to everything.

The Ocean and water: they symbolizes the universal consciousness or life itself, where the keeper finds connection and purpose by merging with it.

The cover art shows Earth as a pawn, emphasizing our insignificance yet integration into the grand scheme.

"A Thousand Lighthouses in the Sky": A beautiful image suggesting vastness, guidance, or perhaps overwhelming perspective, ultimately leading to the realization that simply swimming-living is enough.

Here comes a other story of soul peace:

"Let’s imagine a quiet sea and then the same sea with towering waves, and that we’re on a sinking ship in this wildly surging water so that death is inevitable. Anyone who can feel no fear of death but only the wonderful beauty of the unfettered elements and the grandness of creation at such a moment knows what soul peace is."

"We should let such images, such thoughts, live in us in their whole richness and greatness as often as possible. Then we’ll feel that fear and terror about the elements and eruptions disappear, and we’ll draw strength from all hindrances that life puts in our path, "

said Rudolf Steiner in the Contents of Esoteric Classes, Munich, 8th March 1909.
