A Students's Birthday!

by Friend Tazo -
Picture of Christmas Message Group!

Dear Friends, One of our oldest students is having a birthday this Weekend and I had this idea how we all could share and Celebrate our Student's Birthdays!

I have done this for my students for many years now, but never thought to offer it to all of you who have put in so much time in our studies! Now this is for you to join in and make ever renewing and fresh events for our school community. Birth in our School is the planting of your seed in your soul, and if you want to celebrate that event as 'your birthday', then please do! It honors everyone to do so, for our school is a Spiritual Life Stream which flows from our center to all of you and back here to the source! It makes a round trip as the Sun begins it in our inner Zodiac World where the Portal is that you accessed to find us here.  This is thus the 1st ring of the School! So please take that into your hearts' meditations. It is a flame you carry and tend with your life breath. We can all thank each other for the Hearts' breath from the Mother we can't see other than if she chooses to show herself to you. But no matter, she does her work as we also have the duty to do ours. Let us celebrate this moment for everyone!

 So this is our 1st Student Birthday ZOOM Meet!  I will make a Birthday Chat for anyone that wants to join in and get the times (maybe three times per birthday!). This will give everyone a chance to come. 

What we will do together?

We will Open together this Special Birthday Portal of the Zodiac that is also our Spiritual Journey Portal!

There will a reading for the Birthday participant and celebration of the past year of progress and the year coming. This is meant to be a spiritual portal and not for any other reason do we share this together. Everyone that comes is then part of the Students Auric Flame.

Join Tazo in this course about the Council of Manes.  GET THE COURSE hurry this is a (limited time offer!!)

Here is the Thesis of the Lectures which we will explore:
In an exciting moment of spiritual vision the clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner spoke this to an audience of his private students,  

"There is a fourth individuality named in history, behind whom for those who have the proper comprehension, much lies hidden — an individuality still higher and more powerful than Skythianos, than Buddha or than Zarathustra. This individuality is Manes, and those who see more in Manichaeism than is usually the case know him to be a very high messenger of Christ

It is said that a few centuries after Christ had lived on the earth, there was held one of the greatest assemblies of the spiritual world connected with the earth that ever took place, and that there Manes gathered round him three mighty personalities of the fourth century after Christ. In this figurative description a most significant fact in connection with spiritual development is expressed. Manes called these persons together to consult with them as to the means of reintroducing the wisdom that had lived throughout the changing times of the post Atlantean age and of causing it to unfold more and more gloriously in the future."  Rudolf Steiner 08/31, 1909

Manes thus called a council of the great initiates of the past ages to consult with them on how to sustain the ancient wisdom and to bring it to a further glory.   In this course we will search for the  meaning of the utterance of the great initiate and explore the teaching of Manes, and search for evidence of this in earthly events, teachings and philosophies.

Do you want to explore this statement by Rudolf Steiner and take a deep dive into the middle Eastern spiritual spiritual-cultural life? Then click below.

GET THE COURSE hurry this is a (limited time offer!!)

Rudolf Steiner goes on to say this was all in preparation for what became the Rosicrucian stream that later flowed everywhere in European culture affecting science, and religious philosophy and education and eventually transformed Europe.
In this series of five lectures we will focus on the teachings of Manes, Light against Darkness, and how this teaching progressed into living discussions of pupils and teachers.  We will get a feel for the Persian/Arabian cultures from the 4th century to the 10th.

This series will be followed by a second series, so this will form a foundation for more spiritually inspired cultural studies.  the intention of this study is to deepen our understanding of pre-Islamic Arabian/Persian
culture, to the advent of the Islamic teachers of Anatolia to the dawn of the Sufis.

About Manes:
Known as Manichaeus Corbicus. Mani, in Latin Manichaeus, (216 -v276), of Iranian origin was the prophet and the founder of Manichaeism, a gnostic religion of Late Antiquity which was once widespread but is now extinct. Mani was born in or near Seleucia-Ctesiphon in Asuristan (Assyria), at the time still part of the Parthian Empire. Six of his major works were written in Syriac Aramaic and the seventh, dedicated to the king of the empire, Shapur I, was written in Middle Persian. He died in Gundeshapur, under the Sassanid Empire.

An Important Question? When Is Learning Fun?

by Friend Tazo -
Picture of Christmas Message Group!
When is Learning Exciting?

Have you bought courses and found them exciting only in the beginning, and your excitement dwindled away?  Learning should be exciting,  right? But often it doesn't prove itself to be exciting.  If that has been your experience, you're not alone then.  Did you know that the current statistic is 0nly 13% of Online Courses are completed! I also have been caught buying courses, lots of them, that I can't get motivated after a short time, that I can't finish!
Why?
The answer is very simple, and it may shock you. People can make great videos and tag lines to get you excited about a course. It makes sense, and they study program after program to get you excited, and that's where it starts. But what about the 'real stuff', you know, the stuff that changes your life, or the thoughts that heal your soul and really do what they can do - that is, if they 'hit the mark' so to speak?
Everyone is searching for something, it is the nature of the present time to spend some money on someone that helps us, and moves us inwardly. That is the 'energy' of spiritual knowledge.

"One thing that sets my courses apart from others is: they are exciting! Everyone finishes them and restarts them over and over and year after year!"

What have I experienced as a teacher at the Rosenkreutz School of Light?  I can tell you for a fact, everyone that get a course of mine, not only completes the course, but listens to it again and again.  It has been something that I have known since the beginning of the school.  This tells me: #1 this is the right kind of knowledge. It is the kind of knowledge that works in all layers of the psyche, not just the surface. This knowledge penetrates into the deep layers of the mind. 
 You can be sure that the courses presented here will engage your attention in every lecture experience and reveal to you many things you knew before, or didn't even know you wanted to know.  This path of knowledge is a great experience, and once it is experienced the soul wants more and more.
I hope to see you in my courses and experience the amazing excitement of my path knowledge which I present as a path of Mind-Mastery.

Marketing for A New World

by Friend Tazo -
Picture of Christmas Message Group!

Marketing is all about Knowledge and Skill. Read below and see for your self. Do you think you might have the skills?then let's put them to use.  Ask: Marketing for a New World? Where does it really lead?

Times have shown that the Old Ways of Life have so drastically changed that we know the Old Cultural Traditions no longer suffice for modern personal development.  What can we point too, that illustrates this? How many people, even if it were possible, can see themselves living in an Ashram or Walking a Desert seeking enlightenment? 

Actually some do, but what is the result? They usually fall so far out of society that they loose everything in the process. Maybe this is good, but it certainly does not help the situation when one realizes perfectly good people can't be found for the purposes of Leadership and Guidance on the Spiritual Path.

Let us now consider what Spiritual Research reveals.  One very important fact is this, Man is a part of nature, and so when a Man serves nature, he serves the World.  This means that one who has had a lifetime in Solitude, Meditation and Prayer, must also pour this knowledge into the service for the future Spiritual Progress of Man and Nature. And that is the Call to Human Beings of today. The confusion around us today is the result of the Great Change that is occurring.  The New Spiritual Teachers are awakening to their tasks in the present time. They will begin to occupy positions which now are filled by men of the Old Way of the World, and the New Way is not yet a practical reality for them.  These two waves of men now collide.  The power of the one faces the power of the other. As time wears on, that which was once powerful and mighty begins to falter as the other wave increases into strength and vitality. 

In answer to call of the Spirit in Nature; she is the one who rules beneath our feet, and controls seeds, and birth, gives new life and takes away that which is old and failing and destined to fade and whither. I gave 12 lectures on here spirit, called Meeting the Spirit in Nature, series 004, of the foundation series for our school.  The carry home thought is: No power or forces of any human being can change these (6 powers of one mind/spirit), for they are the real ruling powers over arching the World which man is a small part. But this changes when a man rises above the Wave and rides it; but consider this,  he can only rise according to his Skill to manage the power underneath him.   This is why we offer classes on the Spiritual Powers; it is not just a whim or wisp of thought, it is the very core of the power, and no man can manage any power of nature without Skill.  It doesn't matter what 'science says' about it; when all is said and done, it ( the event) must come to skills in action.  Even as men have around them an invisible shell filled with invisible forces; still,  when a man raises his spiritual vessel into the spirit he moves in his own Spiritual Vessel, and just like a boat on water; and even so, it is even more powerful as a vessel (than as a tool) when it is Manned by one trained in the skill we are speaking here. That is one of the greatest skills a man can claim for himself.  Withou the skill, the vessel should not be taken out upn the astral ocean.  Desire for it, must be earned by attaining true knowledge, or nothing but misfortune will occur.  This does not eliminate training, but puts spiritual training in the right light. If there is no perceptible goal, then the knowledge is not harmonized with the accomplishment.

Just like there are many captains on the sea, but there is only knowledge that rules them, it is here one realizes it is 'the knowledge'  'the pearl of great price' ; it is a special inner intelligence (knowledge of our spiritual bodies) which gives a man the power (through inspired intelligence) to rise above the invisible sea of the astral plane, and sail upon its great ocean which leads to the four portals of eternity.  Who can tell of it? Only one who hears it. Think about it? Can you? Perhaps you hear in the wind something, but the sailors of the sea, full of stories as they are, the Captain of the Ship never would ever sail without maps or compass.  He knows when and how to move upon the waters or one should not travel with him. 

So men of today, are humbled before the greatness of the stars . But who can tell anything real about them, but one who desires to ascend into them, and journey to such far away places. 

Clarity, vision and understanding appears when one trains in my spiritual science system of the Spiritual Bodies. Once a person reorganizes thoughts and learns to focus and concentrate the mind, it by itself emerges to claim the inner position  within your nature as 'Captain of the ship'. Before that time, you are stuck on the shore and can certainly marvel at the magical stories, but you will never have known the journey to the land beyond time and space where all Spiritual Paths lead. Just like it is said: all rivers lead to the ocean. 

Write me if you want to train - seriously train - that is, please don't write if you just want to hang around, this training is real.
