			In Christian esotericism, the [[astral plan]] is regarded as the world of the Holy Spirit {{GZ\|\|100\|205}}.

			According to [[John Scotus Eriugena]], the source of the four streams of paradise corresponds to the Holy Spirit and the latter itself to the four cardinal virtues.

			{{Quote\|In typical contemplation, the source of Paradise, which is divided into four main streams, also signifies the Holy Spirit, as no wise man denies. From this one and inexhaustible principal source flow the four principal powers in the paradise of the rational soul: discernment, temperance, fortitude, and justice, and from these streams in turn flow as rivulets all the virtues to show themselves on the soil of human nature, which is watered and fertilised by them.\|[[John Scotus Eriugena]]: ''On the Classification of Nature'', p. 231\|ref=<ref>Johannes Scotus Erigena, Ludwig Noack (Übers.): ''Über die Eintheilung der Natur'', Verlag von L. Heimann, Berlin 1870, Erste Abtheilung, S. 223f [http://www.odysseetheater.org/jump.php?url=http://www.odysseetheater.org/ftp/bibliothek/Philosophie/Johannes_Scotus_Erigena/Johannes_Scotus_Erigena_Ueber_die_Einteilung_der_Natur.pdf#page=231&view=Fit]</ref>}}

			According to the Acts of the Apostles, at Pentecost, 10 days after the Ascension of Christ, the Holy Spirit, as the Comforter (Paraclete) promised by Christ, is poured out on the disciples in the form of fiery tongues.

			In a microcosmic sense, the part of the human astral body that has already been transformed into [[Manas]] ([[spirit self]]) is also called the Holy Spirit {{GZ\|\|96\|250ff}}. When man becomes creatively active in the soul, he is creating out of the Holy Spirit {{GZ\|\|107\|312ff}}. He then accomplishes a creation out of nothing, through which he creates a completely new soulic and thereby enriches the astral world with a new dimension of the human.

			Before the humans in the [[Lemurian time]] had descended to their first earthly embodiment, the communal [[self-consciousness}} of the [[humans]] lived in the Holy Spirit:

			{{GZ\|The Holy Spirit is the one who had the self-consciousness above, before (the beginning of) the embodiment, and the Spirit in itself is the one who had the I-consciousness in man. So that if you were to throw all the consciousnesses together, and thus also to separate them from egoism, you would get the Holy Spirit again.\|96\|230ff}}

			The physical human form, which at that time was only "hovered around" externally by the human group soul, had a bird-like form. From this derives the symbol of the dove for the Holy Spirit {{GZ\|\|100\|249}}.

			When man recognises the Christ from the full freedom made possible by Lucifer, then he fills himself with the Holy Spirit and then he not only contributes to his own redemption, but thereby also redeems the Luciferic beings. Then Lucifer will rise in a new, transformed form and join the Christ in us as the Holy Spirit:

			{{GZ\|When man recognises the Christ, when he really engages in wisdom in order to see through what the Christ is, then he redeems himself and the Luciferic beings through the knowledge of the Christ. If man were merely to say to himself: I am satisfied that the Christ was there, I let myself be redeemed unconsciously - then man would never contribute anything to the redemption of the Luciferic beings.
