(Scene Two)

Like an exceedingly fine-cut, self-effulgent diamond the roof of the temple rises above the pillars and shines with its blue-violet-white light on the base of the temple. The temple-ground in turn reflects this light and its subtle spectra – which are caused by the cut of the roof – like an infinitely pure mirror back to the diamond.

From the inner depth of the temple – coming out of the centre – shines an infinitely silent, red-violet, pleasingly warm light – like wrapped in a golden garment – and melts towards the brink of the temple with the subtle rhythms of the blue-violet spectra, which are caused by the temple-roof and are reflected by the temple-base.

Simultaneously in the sacrificial bowl, which has adopted the structure of a transparent, fine-cut crystal, a red-blue-violet light, surrounded by a golden garland, shines up gleaming more and more golden.

An ocean of light – coming from the centre of this red-blue-violet core of light – floods from the sacrificial bowl. By the bowl a part of this light is divided into the spectral colours and is projected onto the yard.
Thus from the depth of the bowl falls the light component red-blue-violet, from the middle a bright shining green, a little above a burning golden-yellow, and from the upper brim of the bowl a deep red.

The spectra being projected by the bowl become very subtly rhythemetized by the white light floating from the bowl towards the centre of the bowl and the temple yard, and then fade towards the brink of the square.

Caused by the manifold combinations of these very subtle spectral rhythms an infinite number of abstract forms and shapes is created, which – continuously renewing themselves – dive into darkness towards the brink of the square.
