Parsifal and the Secret of the Graal Unveiled (1914)
Context: Closing Word
Learn to eat of the tree of Knowledge, and of the tree of Life enjoy the fruit. Seek both within yourself, and so you recognize them and know their place, you are come to the highest rung of the 12 step ladder.
Through this will the Divine-Love be awoken that does not have a place in the twisted minds of men, but dwells in his heart, from which the salvational current will be born which gives us the vision of the eternal light and annihilates all falsity.
"The eternal-feminine draws us up?!"

“And from the magic tree of life the fruit falls everywhere.”
George William Russell (1867–1935) Irish writer, editor, critic, poet, and artistic painter

I think when night towers up aloft and shakes the trembling dew
How every high and lonely thought that thrills my being through
Is but a ruddy berry dropped down through the purple air,
And from the magic tree of life the fruit falls everywhere.
“If you love me, be patient. Look at the trees. Are they in a hurry to ripen their fruit?”
