“Thus the offerings are mainly mental impressions from the store-house of remembrances, be it images of former friends or enemies, be it images of animals or plants, but also images of the unenlivened nature, like stone-images of all kinds.

“In an integrated manner desires of smell, of taste, of shapes, of touch and of sound are sacrificed.
During this great full-moon sacrifice, everything which is in the human mind in solid thought-form, is first being liquefied, then turned into structures of air, and finally placed on the altar of pure consciousness in the shape of fading sounds.

“In this manner the human mind finds to itself, and the sacrifice-bringer gradually realizes the almighty cosmic nature of his own mind.
And as he performs the sacrifice, he realizes that he himself is Agni and Ran, the two rulers over the world-ocean.

“Also the sacrifice-bringer begins to know that the perfect mastery over his own innermost life-breath is the sublime rule of the father of the gods, who once whispered the sacrificial chants of many voices to him, when he walked his silvery-glimmering way of sacrifice for the first time.”

The whole forest was covered with a very fine haze of moon-light, and it shimmered in a brilliant white splendour as if it was steeped into a sea of many layers of light.
As Sol and Mani went along the quiet forest-ways, Mani discovered within the soft and delicate forms of nature a very subtly unfolding, unknown life, as if in the birds and animals own separate wondrous worlds of light-streams revealed.

Mani also realized that the bodies of nature unnoticeably became more translucent, and that gradually she was able to look into the trees, animals and stones.
A very subtle inner light-world revealed to her view, and all outer form, the only form she actually had been perceiving so far, suddenly appeared determined by inner stars, which directed the secret force-flows of nature that twinkled silvery-white in many colours.
