“For once, therefore, a man woke up and saw that what mattered was not to proclaim democracy but to see the full reality, not to follow slogans, but to see things as they are. This would be particularly important today, for people would then realize that the events which reign with such blood and terror over the whole of humanity are guided and directed from just a few centers. People will never realize this if they persist in the delusion that nation is fighting nation, and allow the European and American Press to lull them to sleep over the kinds of relations that are said to exist between nations.” ~Rudolf Steiner, Fall of the Spirits of Darkness, : Lecture 14: Into the Future, Dornach, 28 October 1917 https://reverseritual.com/world-turning-9-11/

“If the sheath-bearing Virgin, who draws near with golden rays of autumn sun, in the blue firmament, is to nourish you with what she provides, you must take up this food that is the Bread of Life in your innermost being.

That you can only do, when you develop not only your senses, but with them, open up the spirit of your soul to the world around you, & deepen in your heart the fruits of your life, that you gather, shape & organize. Only the right heartfelt tact gives you the possibility of recognizing the human being in others & of becoming aware of your own human nobility!” ~Rudolf Steiner

Greetings Friends – Are you feeling it too? Bella Luna shook my soul awake this morning at 3 am to remind me that TODAY is the Full BUDDHA Moon = Sun in Taurus, Moon in Scorpio.

To add to this potent energy, today is also a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse moving across Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, & Indonesia – We won’t ‘see’ this cosmic & earthly event here in America, but we are all in its shadow – you can mark it in your day: Penumbral Eclipse begins at 10:14 am Central Time – Maximum Eclipse at 12:22 pm – Penumbral Eclipse ends at 2:31 pm.

Wesak, the major Buddhist festival of the year, celebrates the birth, enlightenment & death of the Buddha on one and the same day, when the Sun is in Taurus, & the Moon is in Scorpio.

This ‘Buddha Moon’ is a mystically auspicious time – it is considered to be the greatest moment of spiritual contact for the entire year. Great polarities are said to be synthesized & consequently united at this festival. Hope is revived in the world, & great seeds of beauty, truth, & goodness are planted within us — qualities needed for the unity of humankind.

Greetings friends on this Holy Monday when we bansih the old Moon Clarvoyance & over turn the tables of the $ changers

Matthew: 15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’]? But you have made it ‘a den of thieves.’”

18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

~hag, with gratitude for the indications from Mark 11: 12-25 & Christia

Pod (Poem Of the Day)

~Let us lift the clouds that guard the secret –
The miracle is happening
Let aspirations rise & speak:
The Peace of Wisdom is coming back
To give birth to Love
Again & yet again Sing Life
Stirring below the surface of skin,
Anoint the pain of mortality, the loss & suffering
The misunderstandings that prick
Consciousness & prod us toward truth…
Bless the body
Where Love in Wisdom is gathering…

Rudolf Steiner also describes this rebellion in Occult Science: An Outline & from another perspective in, The Spiritual Hierarchies and their Reflection in the Physical World: “Beings from the sphere of the Mights (Dynamis), to put it tritely, were detached; they were placed in the course of evolution so as to bring about obstacles instead of acting as progressive influences. We have come to know this as the War in Heaven….[later in Lemurian times]..The beings who stayed behind, whom we call Luciferic beings approached the human astral body –they were unable to reach the “I” – and injected into the astral body the results of the War in Heaven…humans now had been given the possibility of error and evil, but at the same time also received the capacity to rise above error and evil through their own strength…Thus we can see that only because the Dynamis were given adverse orders did humans receive the possibility of reaching their goal by means of their own powers, something that even the Seraphim cannot attain through their own endeavors. That is the crucial fact…Humans have to fulfill a completely new mission in the world, the mission we have just characterized, and  descended into the earthly world in order to accomplish it.  Christ came into the world as man’s free helper; not as a God working from above, but as the first-born among many.”

The Christian Community homily for this week speaks of this turbulent time: 1st Advent – Luke 21:25-36

“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth, the nations will be constricted with anxiety and doubt with the advent of these spiritual revelations, as before a roaring sea and waves. And men will lose their inner strength of soul out of fear and foreboding of what is coming over the living earth: for the dynamic powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, in the sphere of life, with dynamic power and great radiant glory.

And when these things begin to happen, stand upright and lift up [raise] your soul to the spirit, for your deliverance draws near.

And he gave them a comparison, saying, ‘Observe [behold] the fig-tree and all the trees when they burst into leaf. Seeing this, you know yourselves that summer is near. So also when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

Amen, the truth I say to you: this present age of Man’s being shall not pass away until all has happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.Guard yourselves lest the perceptive power of your hearts be smothered by an excess of food and drink and by over-concern with the cares and worries of life, and the light of these spirit events break upon you suddenly like a snare…for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. So be awake in the spirit at all times, praying, so that you may have the strength to live through all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man”.

Dear friends – There are so many ways to look at life; it can be super simple or profoundly complicated. Today I was thinking, that the way to thrive is by becoming a mix between a mish-mash & a medley – part hodgepodge & part amalgamation of all the finest virtues our collective experience has garnered.

The best elixir will result from embracing the simple AND the complicated, mixing several different potions derived from our highest intentions & letting it ferment into a potentized medicine, which will only work from the inside out.

Yes, our strongest impact, our true cure, will come from blending our most diverse effects together to create a freshly refined reality, where the human being is Holy.  

When you think about it, the human being is a divine wonder. Our bodies, for one thing, are miraculous, able to adapt & recreate itself every 7 years. In fact it’s mind blowing to try to even contemplate the metabolic system. I marvel at the fact that the hydrochloric acid in our digestive system is so corrosive it can dissolve a nail. In other words, we contain within us the power to dematerialize solid metal.

Why is it so hard, then, for us to conceive of the possibility that we can vaporize a virus with our immaculately conceived immune systems, or stand up to those that would enslave us?

Friends, the power of the highest hierarchies live in our limbs, waiting for us to active them with our will to reclaim our divine birthright as spiritual beings.

What would it be like to imagine that all the fear & doubt & hatred designed to confuse us & make us forget who we really are, are really just rusty nails – & that we are dropping them into a vat of spiritually charged hydrochloric acid. Ha – if we come back every day & revisit this vision – we can watch the nails steadily dissolve. As they yield to our power, we tame & embrace their forces, extracting the iron to fortify our resolve for revolution.

Yep, we need a holy day to remember to Give Thanks. Gratitude is more than just a hallmark catchphrase. It’s a way of life; an attitude, a habit that we have to train ourselves to practice so we can build up our appreciation like a muscle. And what I’m finding is that it may actually change the perception of my well-being.

Our family’s tradition is to go to China Town for our Thanksgiving meal, since I always make a big homemade feast for our daughter’s birthday earlier that same week. When our girl was younger we would invite her whole Waldorf class over for Sukkoth & that was our community Thanksgiving. This year we went to meet some old friends who have also taken up this tradition. On the way to the restaurant I tumbled off the curb & rolled my bad ankle – my foot is swollen to high heaven. I had to sit there on the ground for a bit with the dizzying pain like the wrath of shooting stars catching my breath…dang…What’s that all about…?

When I’m feeling overwhelmed by my various health issues, compounded by the current world situation with all the vicissitudes it has brought to our sense of reality, I have to just take a breath & thank my lucky stars that I can apply Spiritual Science to my heart-thinking. And I remember that this is the ultimate testing ground, where we all agreed to meet. Our ‘truth or dare’ stage where discernment, equanimity, love, reverence/wonder, hope, & the power of peace must come into play.

I know sometimes it feels like we are hell-bent on heading straight into the abyss – I often find myself staring straight into the dragon’s eye – & it’s all too easy to get freaked out & discouraged – to spiral into the negative, cynical scenarios.

Naming the shadow has its time & place, but if it pulls us too deep into discord or depression, this shrinks our heart-health, bringing more inflammation & a weaker immune system – eclipsing the veracity of our collective power which we can access with every positive, thanks-giving, visualization.  So how can I turn this pain & forced slowdown into a gratitude moment…Well, I will have to work that thru won’t I…?

I have a chance to apply gratitude like medicine – a tonic & remedy for everything that ails me. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. An opportunity to let go of the personal pain to see it as a reflection of the pain of the world.

Together we set the table for a feast of healing.

See you there

For Ultra-Violet Archer on your Golden Birthday 11/22/21

The sweet water rises from the tarn
A rainbow sluice under your boots
In the sunrise of your cove.
Honey crown tresses in the fierce wind tossed
As you step onto the platform
Downtown bound.
Music clicking on the claque track
Melody all around
Tuneful biofeedback
Composed on the playground
Your throat open & ready to give back
Harmony your native stomping ground

No coulda, woulda, shoulda
No prophesy to fulfill
Just an answer to the echo
Of your name…

All is golden.

One wields the Sun-sword of right thinking
The other fashions the sheath of our soul,
To show us to ourselves.
Together they battle the hardening in our perceptions or
Our evasion into illusion…
One is light
The other is color
When they hold hands,
Spirit & Soul are One in Wisdoms Love
So we can be
Truly human.

Upright between Heaven & Earth,
Together with Michael & Anthroposophia
We carry the Christ-Light
Of Spirit thru Soul
Into the dark halls of matter.

Dear friends, I am honored to tread the ever winding way with all of you. Together we hold the center, ring the bell, & step into halleluiah!

‘the macrocosmic Lord's Prayer’

AUM, Amen!

The evil holds sway.
Witness of the ‘I’ severed
Selfhood guilt through others incurred

Experienced in the daily bread.
In which heaven's will is not being done,
For man deserted your kingdom,
And forgot your names,
O You fathers in the heavens.

In Grosse’s book he reports how Steiner spoke it at the laying of the Foundation Stone in the Dornach Hill on 20 September 1913. And it was during those Holy Nights that Steiner gave insights for the 1sttime about the Epic of Gilgamesh.

As on offset I also spoke The Lord's Prayer as Prayed by Rudolf Steiner:

Father, you who are, were and will be in our inmost being

May Your Name be glorified and praised in us

May Your Kingdom grow in our deeds and inmost lives

May we perform Your Will as You, Father, lay it down in our inmost being

You give us spiritual nourishment, the Bread of Life, super abundantly

In all the changing conditions of our lives.

Let our mercy toward others make up for the sins done to our being.

You do not allow the tempter to work in us beyond the capacity of our strength,

For no temptation can live in Your Being, Father,

And the tempter is only appearance and delusion

From which you lead us, Father, through the light of knowledge.

May Your power and glory work in us through all periods and ages of time.

The Lord’s Prayer translated from Aramaic

O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration.

Soften the ground of our being

and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.
Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered

to bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.
Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share

what each being needs to grow and flourish.
Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us,

as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.
Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.
For you are the ground and the fruitful vision,

the birth, power and fulfillment,

as all is gathered and made whole once again.

RUDOLF STEINER’S CALENDAR OF THE SOUL
translated (with added titles) by Roy Sadler
ALL HALLOWTIDE III
World Nemesis? Or Resurrection…
v33 (the Ahrimanic deception)
And so I come to feel the world,
which left without my soul’s communion
would be just frosty, empty life
and powerless to resurrect in souls,
wherein it could arise anew in self-creation,
would in itself alone find only death.

This is one of the 4 transition verses in the Soul Calendar’s square quartet.
Each one is a challenge, facing us with a new step we must take as we transition
into a new season.

This is a quote from Eloise Krivosheia in anthroposophyla.org. (with inspiration from her sister in the spiritual world).
‘The creation of the world by the gods is complete.
Future world creation/transformation requires the conscious participation
of human beings. We want to undersdtand how human soul destiny is united
with the destiny of the world. Christ gave us the power to build ourselves
and in this we can save Earth from death. We can build what we have taken in
in the summer, but without our consciousness and our soul forces creating new
self substance (as in verse 32) Earth is bereft, unable to rebuild/transform itself.
In line 5 we intuit how Earth will feel life anew in human souls who creating self
anew are what will bring resurrection for Earth itself. Without such human work
on the self, death can only result.’

Be like Water:

“Water is sometimes sharp and sometimes strong, sometimes acid and sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet and sometimes thick or thin, sometimes it is seen bringing hurt or pestilence, sometime health-giving, sometimes poisonous.

It allows change into as many natures as are the different places through which it passes. And as the mirror changes with the colour of its subject, so it alters with the nature of the place, becoming noisome, laxative, astringent, sulfurous, salty, incarnadined, mournful, raging, angry, red, yellow, green, black, blue, greasy, fat or slim.

Sometimes it starts a conflagration, sometimes it extinguishes one; is warm and is cold, carries away or sets down, hollows out or builds up, tears or establishes, fills or empties, raises itself or burrows down, speeds or is still; is the cause at times of life or death, or increase or privation, nourishes at times and at others does the contrary; at times has a tang, at times is without savor, sometimes submerging the valleys with great floods.

In time and with water, everything changes” ~Leonardo da Vinci

"She focused on the words: “He gives moisture to the dead.” It was a gift to the shadow world – tears. They would be sacred beyond a doubt. Nothing on this planet had so forcefully hammered into here the ultimate value of water. Not the water-sellers, not the dried skins of the natives, nor the stillsuits or the rules of water discipline. Here there was a substance more precious than all others – it was life itself and entwined all around with symbolism and ritual.

Water reflects the truth" from Dune ~Frank Herbert

History & some thoughts 

Dear friends – I have been connecting the synchronistic dots that are like nourishing breadcrumbs on the path - affirming the work of the 10:10 Thought-Seed– a mediation every day at 10:10 AM/PM, co-creating an imagination of the ‘Earth Becoming a Sun’ - that many of us have been holding since around this time last year. If you haven’t yet tuned in, it was my 1st offerings for the ‘I Think Speech’ podcast: Thought-Experiment– Egregore– Project Thought-Seed – The 10:10 How to.

In the evolution of humanity thru the Christ impulse, the seed for the future spiritualization of the Earth was planted. We are given a clue in the appearance spoken about in Mark 14:51-52, of the mysterious 'young man' whose outer garment is pulled away in the garden of Gethsemane at the arrest - the commandment of Christ's sacrificial deed. This is an unveiling of the future cosmic process in which the human being, as well as the Earth Being Herself, will gradually completely spiritualize our physical aspects - allowing us to be transformed into a New Sun.

A friend wrote me the other day talking about a study conducted by German researchers at the University of Kassel showing that the area around the heart of an average person emits about 20 photons of light per second. A person who meditates from their heart center, sending love & light to others - emits an amazing 100,000 photons per second. That’s 5000 times more than the average human being. Numerous studies have shown that when these photons are infused with a loving & healing intent, their frequency & vibration increases to the point where they can literally change matter, heal disease, & transform negative events.

The Heart also loves, feels, thinks & remembers - communicating with other hearts. Pulsing continuously - each beat throbbing with impressions - which we must control thru our right thinking - moving them thru every organ of our body & out into the etheric, & astral realms we all share.

It is far more full & beautiful than what modern science would have us believe. A beyond the cellular symphony that is the very essence of our being - it is a magnetic & radiating vortex – a tool of human evolution, in the creation of the New Sun of the New Jerusalem.

Cresting in heart-thought with you…

In thinking what we three (Angela Foster, Timothy Kennedy & me) would offer to the Sophia Community Circle for November, it fell together that we would write a love poem to Sophia.

From ~hag: When does the past

Become the present?

~When the outside is within~

When does the poem

Become a song?

~When the Virgin is free & fruitful~

And in the Speaking?

Do the Stars move

Us toward the future?

~Only when the riddle key unlocks a world Whitsun~

And in the Standing

Between thinking & willing

Can the spark of feeling

Feed the font of Wisdom wrested ?

~Only when the Mother has washed the 7 veils into white garments~

Then

Becomes Love

Unbound…

Homebound “on the boats of spirit-knowledge

To awaken in human souls Isis-Sophia Wisdom of God”.

I am writing a love poem for my Sophia.

The 3 into 1 ~hag

Am I a body

In you

Sculpting a grand canyon

An outer shell easily removed

With the art of living..?

Your gravity calls.

And in the standing

I set out

A walking ocean

Sister-sized

Smooth & butter-colored

Split stillness

Water-fall tossed

Vast & never far away.

What is your Will..?

Is there room

For wind & weaving in the dark –

A riddle ripple in mediating rhythm

Listening

For the reflection

Of humble stars

& tragic paradoxes of Love..?

Feed the font of Wisdom wrested

Surrendering color to the light.

Sing the sonnet of Spirit-Self -

To wash the 7 veils white

Be - Coming

I pray

Let my stream

Of-consciousness bee

Poem enough.

I am - A waterfall - In gravity - Unbound - Homebound

Becoming Will A Love poem - To Sophia

Dear friends – On Saturday, 10/23/2021, we had the first community meeting at the Zinniker Farm.  The 12 of us, some local, some from WI, some from Chicago, were greeted by a perfect fall day, a choir of birds, cool weather, bright sunshine, Hazel’s famous spice cake and a bonfire!

After we went around and introduced ourselves, Markus gave a brief history of the Zinniker Family Farm and he asked some very relevant questions that we are faced with today. (link to video) The conversation was lively and we came away with warmth of community and our first steps forward.

We decided to form a core group to work with Petra and Mark.  The short-term goal is to get a real understanding of a sustainable budget that includes everything!  After all, how can the farm thrive into the future unless we understand the economics.

After we understand the needs, how will we come around the farm as a supportive community to share the bounty of the land – and take the risks of farming off the farmer.

It addresses a statement posed by Mark, “the hardest thing for a farm to produce is community value”

At the meeting, Jessica Fuchs, Robert Karp, Hazel and Chuck Ginsberg volunteered to be on the core group.  If you have an interest in getting involved,please contact ‘Family Farm Initiative’We welcome your help!

We added the first video from this meeting to the Patreon page: www.patreon.com/zinnikerfarmPlease show your support by giving what you can, & by sharing this link.

We’ll be sending out more videos & emails over the next couple of weeks.

We are happy to have you as part of our community as we reimagine our relationship to the Earth and our food.

Best,
Chuck Ginsberg & Hazel Archer

5 things you need to know about the Orionid meteor shower:

The meteors are actually debris from the Comet Halley – The Comet Halley hasn’t paid Earth a visit since 1986, but pieces of the famous space rock still show up every fall. Each year, around October 20-22, our planet intersects with the comet’s orbit, according to Earth Sky. Pieces of Halley disintegrate in Earth’s upper atmosphere nearly 60 miles above the planet’s surface, but not before creating quite the spectacle for those down below.

Let’s be honest, watching this thing is a commitment. Experts agree that the shower will take place before dawn on October 21 or 22, but can’t pinpoint an exact date.

10-20 Meteors Could Fall Each Hour – The Orionid Meteor Shower is a “modest shower.” That means you won’t see a constant stream of glowing rocks plummeting toward Earth at any given moment. Don’t let that fool you. Those watching from dark or rural locations will still have a front row seat for the kind of spectacle that only comes from space.

…And They’ll Be Traveling At 41 Miles Per Second – You read that right. 41 miles per second. These rocks are literally scorching across the sky as they enter Earth’s atmosphere. Roughly half of these blazing fast meteors will leave gas trails behind them that are visible for a few seconds after the meteor is gone.

From. Every. Direction.- The Orionids flying from the sky this month are named after the constellation Orion, where they appear to radiate. The thing is, these meteors generally aren’t visible until they’re at least 30 degrees from that radiant point. This means they can appear any & everywhere in the night sky. If watching with a party, focus on different areas of the night sky & be sure to call out the meteors as you see them.

“…Myth is the secret opening

through which the inexhaustible energies

of the cosmos pour

into human cultural manifestation.

Religions, philosophies, arts, the social forms

of primitive and historic man,

prime discoveries in science and technology,

the very dreams that blister sleep,

boil up from the basic, magic ring of myth…

The latest incarnation of Oedipus,

the continued romance of Beauty and the Beast,

stand this afternoon

on the corner of Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue,

waiting for the traffic light to change.”

— Joseph Campbell, The Hero’s Journey

Springing up as oral traditions, Myths are living repositories of collective wisdom, social practice, spiritual transformation, ecological awareness, & psychological insight.

Myth is deep psyche dressed in imaginative cultural garb – a bridge or fabric of story that connects us to the blueprint of our destiny & through it to Heaven & Earth’s innermost workings, which in the end are the same as our own.

Joseph Campbell often pointed out “Myths are metaphors,” ; that symbolize the perennial, archetypal aspects of human experience. But although the underlying themes are eternal, the images that story them are constantly in motion; Deep rumblings sound below the level of collective consciousness, where vibrantly alive mythic images challenge & evolve us like the qualities of existence they image.

But mythic beings won’t stay locked out or confined to a grid. In a rationalist, de-sacralized world run by money, force, & hardware, they creep in from the margins & ruptures & edges disguised as symptoms, nightmares, epidemics, political upheavals, works of art, moods of enchantment, & disturbing dreams.

An education in mythology fills a gap in the hungering soul with nourishing visions, inspiring narratives, & timeless motifs. When properly digested they become food for the heart & therapy for the imagination. They summon us back to the natural terrains from which they originally sprang & to which all things return…

What if…? The universe is made of music & stories –The Word – not fluff & stuff.

What song will you sing today to bring the world into existence? What story will you tell?

hmmm…but, ummm…what if we aren’t consciously creating the universe? What if we are just going along, living in someone else’s narrative? What happens if we habitually expose ourselves not to The Word within, but to the voices shouting directives from outside us? – To the toxic stories that serve to enslave? What if a commercial jingle is our earworm? – The sound bite our only truth?

Friends! We could wind up living in a false universe!– A world where we are just human animals; a statistic, not spiritual beings having a human experience – A world where it’s impossible to become the purposeful prodigy we are ALL born to be.

No that’s crazy-talk; we would never choose that, right!?! We know that’s not our destiny!

So let’s wean ourselves off tell-tales that have a reductive plot line, & no real heart – fueled primarily by grotesque, negative scenarios, or delusional one size fits all ‘safety’ measures.

Instead, let’s celebrate the luminous mysteries that throb with truth & shape our life story: The clear meditative meanderings that don’t always lead to tidy conclusions, the budding spiritual ‘What If’s’ that feed our soul, but don’t do a thing to serve the false ego’s apathies. Let’s live into the adventure that revolves around brain-teasing breakthroughs, instead of exhausting wobbly confusion, or a status quo submission caused by fear & illusion….

So how about it…? Let’s encourage each other to nourish ourselves with delicious, nutritious narratives & the glorious Music of the Spheres, where ‘the ever present help of the spiritual world’ resounds – inspiring us to exercise our willpower for the highest good of all.

I glide…on the winds of change blowing in hot & cold currents, as the season shifts - Smoothing the air - not like a leaf in the fall, but as a hawk, eyes penetrating into the essence of all….filled with strength & elemental power - yet safely resting in a mother’s arms – ensconced & tender.

All is open, there is no fixed schema, no anxiety or fear, no bullets-points on the agenda…The sky is vast – ready to receive - whatever my long-sighted wings want to inscribe on it…

I woke up on this Indigenous People’s day & knew I had to give thanks at the Great Inland Sea. I offered up a rose from our pageant altar to the Spirit of Place, as the Sun was spreading a pink light on the water. I reflected on our powerful working & spoke the name “Mishigama” derived from the Chippewa Indian word meaning “large water” or “great lake”. As I watched the rose toss in the waves I contemplated the remarkable dream I awoke with:

Preparing for Michaelmas:

I watch the shadows lengthen. The angle of the sun, like the lance of Michael, a sunlit spear piercing awake my sleepy summer eyes, banishing the Sulphur, activating the iron in my blood. Am I ready to do battle with the dragon within?

If spiritual science is allowed to live in us & extend its transforming influence to our heart-space, what enters us as thoughts, is then changed, into the substance of light, into the purest light of thought. And in the living enthusiasm of the heart, this light of thought then rays out from our hearts into the macrocosm, as light of the redeemed intelligence of Michael; as enlivened human thought, which can be re-united with the world-thoughts of the gods.

Heart-Thinking is the essence of Michaelmas, as the festival of Enlightenment; where we can learn to experience an unfolding of our inner initiative & a free, strong, courageous will, that helps us fend off our lazy tendencies .

It is our job to strive to complete the never ending story, with the new Michaelic mysteries put forth by Rudolf Steiner, a true emissary of of this Sun Being, teaching us to count the human being as the 10th hierarchy. And so, work we must, as we stand once more on the edge of autumn.

See you there…

Before the dream of time began,

Among the absolute
Which dwells in the numberless One
Where we 1st meet…

Strange as it may sound to the ordinary, average people of today — order will not be created from the chaos of the present time until a sufficiently large number of people are prepared to recognize the truths of that science. Such will be the karma of world history.

If people insist that this war is just like the wars of the past and that we’ll be making peace just as peace has been made before — let them talk. They are the people who love maya and do not distinguish between truth and deception.

Order will only arise from the chaos that fills the world today when insight based on the science of the spirit dawns in human minds. You may feel in your heart that it will be a long time before such order comes; you may think it will be a long time before people are prepared to let the dawn of such a science arise — and you will be right. You have to accept that it will be a long time before order arises from the chaos. For it will not come until human hearts understand the realm of the spirit. Order can only come when it is understood how this chaos has arisen.

The spirits take their revenge if they are ignored here on Earth. This is a law, an iron necessity. One way to characterize the present time is to say that the present human chaos is the revenge of the spirits that have been ignored for too long.

The Spirits of Will flash code in the lightning

Love speaks

Truth in the deep rolling thunder

The Gnomes know it’s Midsummer

Fat Undines splash against the warm fecund earth

& steam up in a vital whiff

Of ozone wafting in the cool moist air

Filling my breath joining the purple sky

On my walk home

After the longest day…

10:10 Testament - The Thought-Seed Project: It's been awhile since we checked in around our ‘Egregore’ - our collective ‘Thought-Form’ of Good Will – our “key-call”to the powers on the Inner Planes, to enlist their aid.

Through our continued intention to visualize the human being as a star & the Earth as a Sun*, our positive egregore grows between the material & spiritual worlds & is connected to both.

At the re-founding of the Anthroposophical Society, Rudolf Steiner connected ‘the Movement’ – i.e. The Spiritual Beings working behind the impulse of Anthroposophia - with the Society & its members. This impulse extends beyond the usual limits of space/time. Our goal is to co-create a new ‘Group-Soul United in Christ’ thru our daily 10:10 meditation.

*For Thinking: “When I think light, my soul shines,

When my soul shines, the earth is a star,

When the earth is a star, then I am, a true human being”.

~Herbert Hahn

For Feeling: When I feel warmth, my heart sings

When my heart sings, the Earth resounds

When the Earth resounds, I am a true I AM

For Willing: When I will life, my hands help

When my hands help, the Earth heals

When the Earth heals, I am a free human being

~ Mary Lynn Channer & hag

Here’s a Steiner Quote that supports our work:

“Had the Event of Golgotha not occurred, the earth and the sun would never be able to reunite. For through the Event of Golgotha, which bound the force of the Elohim in the sun to the earth — in other words the force of the Logos — the impulse was given which will again eventually impel one Logos-force toward the other, and finally once more unite them — sun and earth — in one body.

Since the Event of Golgotha, the earth, spiritually observed, is possessed of the force to draw the sun again into a unity with it.

Therefore it can be said that through this great Event, the force of the Logos, which formerly radiated down upon the earth from without, was now taken up into its spiritual being.

The question may be asked, what existed previously within the body of the earth? It was that force which streamed down upon it from the sun. But since that time, what exists there within the earth? - The Logos itself which through Golgotha has become the spirit of the earth. As truly as your soul and spirit dwell within your physical body, do also the soul and spirit of the earth dwell within the body of the earth. This soul and spirit, this earth spirit is the Christ.” ~ The Gospel of St. John, Lecture 7 -THE MYSTERY OF GOLGOTHA

Greetings friends – I am just bobbing my head up from a deep dive – my 1st foray as a member of the General Council of the Anthroposophical Society in America. Thruout the 4 day retreat we worked with a lecture series by Rudolf Steiner called simply – ‘Anthroposophy, An Introduction’, GA 234, given a year before he died, from January – February of 1924. These 9 lectures are a kind of recapitulation, a deepening of concepts he gave 21 years earlier in his seminal books ‘Theosophy’, & ‘How to Know Higher Worlds’.

Yes, it’s Wedding season. Besides a funeral, celebrating a marriage is the ultimate social event, a ritual merger, as well as a personal milestone. I think we are all ripe for union. It doesn't have to be a traditional union of 2 lovers, there are many ways to satisfy this universal fiat. Perhaps committing to walk down the aisle with your muse – or pledging your mutual support & undying agape with a soul friend. It certainly is high time to say "I do" to your community – to espouse yourself to a pet project – or get hitched to a star.

What symbol, moral principle, or ideal might you link yourself to? You may even want to tie the knot with your preferred power tool, beloved animal companion, or sacred place – Come on – pop the question, jump over the broom, or stand under the Chuppah of your imagination, to tie the knot with your higher Self.

As we ramp up toward the solar eclipse, let’s tune into the power of our Day-Star Sun - to lubricate our imagination - Ever listening to that little birdy, or the iridescent insect that has lighted on the fragrant flower of the neighbors catalpa tree. Are you weaving in the wave with the cicadas yet? The Elemental world invites you to be inspired into. The fixed & wandering stars radiate rampant probabilities into the intuition of our willing will. Will we - think the liquid lightning of invocation - Meet the many ambrosial realities available to our warmth of feeling, to receive the luscious healing balms flowing forth from the beginning of time - as we reclaim the NOW…!?!

Ephesians 6:10-18: Be forewarned and forearmed in your spiritual conflict:

“In conclusion be strong—not in yourselves but in the Lord, in the power of his boundless resource. Put on God’s complete armour so that you can successfully resist all the methods of attack from evil. Our fight is not against any physical enemy: it is against organizations and powers that are spiritual. We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil. Therefore you must wear the whole armour of God that you may be able to resist evil in its day of power, and that even when you have fought to a standstill you may still stand your ground. Take your stand then with truth as your belt, righteousness your breastplate, the Gospel of peace firmly on your feet, salvation as your helmet and in your hand the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Above all be sure you take faith as your shield, for it can quench every burning missile the enemy hurls at you. Pray at all times with every kind of spiritual prayer, keeping alert and persistent as you pray for all people.”

“One gets smart through experience, but wisdom is the force that streams into us from the spiritual world and then streams out again. Wisdom also comes from the mouth of babes. When what streams out comes more from the feeling, it is wisdom, but when it stimulates a person into action so that productivity predominates, it is love.

But one has to know what love really is. Someone may feel sympathy for a person's misfortune, but that isn't real love. Sympathy only becomes love if one steps in and helps them.

Wisdom and love make up the I. The I is love and wisdom that have become will. This is the higher triad.” ~Rudolf Steiner, Esoteric Lessons, Hamburg. 31 May 1908

Let the choirs of angels sing into & thru us...it's time to starting shouting about the birds & the bees...the Word & the trees...!!!

Igniting the fire of the Soul - to fulfill the Powers of Co-creation...Where Truth is Divinity…& Love is Destiny…

Spirit knowledge will be medicine for our soul, and when that happens, the horizon of our existence widens and implants in us that way of thinking that is the fruit of all spirit knowledge. This resulting way of thinking and feeling, this attitude of mind and heart, must be considered the ideal state to which spiritual scientific endeavors can lead. All discord, all disharmonies of life will disappear opposite the harmonious thoughts and feelings that bring about an energetic will. Thus, spiritual investigation proves to be not just knowledge and doctrine, but also a force of life and a substance of our soul. Seen in this light, Spiritual Science is capable of working in life in such a way that it frees human beings from cares and worries.

Dear Friends – Wednesday 26 May is Wesak* & the start of the eclipse season for 2021. Tonight, the silver disc of Bella Luna in her Full phase hovers huge in the heavens all night long, then as the birds begin to wake, her brilliant light will suddenly turn blood red, as she crosses Cauda Draconis – the Moon’s South Node or Dragon’s Tail, associated with misfortune & the need to pay for past debts. Cauda Draconis calls for the termination of something…

Here in Chicago the partial lunar eclipse can be seen starting at 3:30 am CT when we will be able to see the Super Flower Moon pass thru the darkest part of Earth’s shadow – catch her before she sets at 5:26 am CT (it may be thundering & lightning here at the Great Inland Sea of Chicago, you may be sleeping, but we can still live into this image)

This cosmic & earthly event is happening while the world celebrates *Wesak, the biggest Buddhist festival of the year, which celebrates the ‘birth, enlightenment & death of the Buddha’ on one & the same day, traditionally when the Sun is in Taurus, & the Moon in Scorpio.

What does it mean that this year the coils of the Dragon wrap around the Buddha Moon?

Dedicated to Johanna Rohde who passed peacefully on Whitsunday 23 May 2021 at 11:30 pm. Johanna was a part of our community for many years, teaching and practicing therapeutic eurythmy, sharing her talents at the festivals and the local Waldorf Schools.  Please hold her in your thoughts & prayers as she makes her journey into the Spiritual World.

“May love of hearts reach out to love of souls

May warmth of love ray out to Spirit-light

Even so would we draw near to you

Thinking with you Thoughts of Spirit

Feeling in you the Love of Worlds

Consciously at one with you

Willing in silent being”.

~Rudolf Steiner 

Whitsun has been called a festival of flowers. We see this out among the buds opening under the increasing power of the sun, under the etheric & astral influences. The heart of humanity as it opens to warmth & light is like the flower, aligning itself to the sun which permeates the earth. And what pours down from the sun, giving the flower, our image in reverse, the potency it needs, is like the tongues of fire descending upon the heads of the disciples, for us humans.

If, today, together we Will to turn our hearts towards a higher wisdom, to set fire to the forces of Anthroposophia in our souls, redeeming our intelligence, the Holy Spirit, can anchor & embody itself in us - turning the ‘Me’ into the ‘We’- Blessing the world.

With all the genocide being perpetuated by those in power in Israel, I would like to tell the story of Ruth & Naomi, a Jewish woman & an Arab woman who shared a deep karmic connection, giving us a message of unity we need so much today. Their story is mixed in with the Holiday called Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, Feast of The First Fruits, or Feast of the Giving of the Law; a spring festival that celebrates the grain harvest, & the ripening of the first fruits, as well as the anniversary of the giving of the Torah.
