Behold the red apple: In it we find the cosmic and earthly combined. In its redness and sweetness, it holds part of the secret of the I, disappearing and reappearing in the living poles of north and south. Now, dissolve the red apple into the deep blue sky. When it disappears, but you remain awake, the golden light of spiritual resurrection may return from all sides, bringing light into the darkness, if God wills it. Now, find the living concept of the Apple, beyond image and take your spiritual feeling out to meet it. There you will hear the silence of the gas flame burning and you will feel its warmth. All tone and images disappear, but the wakefulness of the I-World breathing remains. Through vast doorways, the Spirit-I comes to meet the human-I, and the spirit of the heart awakens as a center, filled with the pain of self-knowledge, but also hope. If you eat the cosmic sweetness in pure heavenly light, you will lose the way. If you only enjoy the earthly apple in complacent sensible taste, you will fall asleep in deception. But, if you can transform the dying apple into life, paralyze and localize the spiritual apple into death, you will find the spiritually transforming human spirit in Christ.
In this process, one must know and become a multiple group of beings: the witch, snow white, the dwarves, the forest, the poisoning-wakening apple, and the prince - all working through the creative harmony of the spirit-I.
