Last night there was a Christmas Night meditation together!

Last night's meditation and discussion was on  the Sign of the Goat/Capricorn.

The Questions and Answer sessions after the Meditation.

The highlight was exploring the mysteries of Africa and Australia in the light of the Christian stream of Teachers and Our New Way of handling our growing of Spiritual Power.

Tonight's meditation  we will discuss our further experiences from our dream time.

We will be at the same time (around 11 East, 8 West Coast).  MSG me if you want to join us.

If you want to participate and get the Christmas notices send my a message "I want to Join the Christmas MSG Group". That way I don;t have to write everyone individually.

The meditation for Tonight will be on the Portal/Sign of Aquarius.

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.

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.

Secrets of the Stars for the Three 'Wise Men'

by Friend Tazo -
Picture of Christmas Message Group! Picture of Philosophers

We've had some pretty interesting discussions in the Christmas Group chat, and here is something I thought can be fun for everyone!

Follow Orion's belt down to the horizon to find Sirius, w/in the Canis Major constellation - the great dog  star.  If you've ever heard the phrase "dog days of summer" ? Sirius makes its first appearance above the horizon in August, the hottest time of the year, so it points to the 'Virgo House'  and with the first annual sightings of the Dog Star. It is the Time when Proserpine arises from Hades guided by the 'Dog' of the Underworld.  

Now, in Winter,  find Orion's belt and follow it upward and find the Hyades and Pleiades open star clusters in the zodiac constellation of Taurus -> where Cent (one) Taurus is pointing his arrow to protect the virgin mother in her shining form shining rising above in the star glow of Christmas.

* Follow Orion's shoulder stars Bellatrix (on the right) and Betelguese (red supergiant on the left) to the left of the hunter and see bright Procyon (part of Canis Minor). Let your eyes make out a perfect isosceles triangle with the very bright Betelgeuse, Sirius and Procyon and there is the Winter Triangle.

Now stand in that starlight and ponder that the light from Sirius left the star 7 years ago, Procyon's light 11 years ago and Betelguese's light ~650 years ago. 

Betelguese is a star whose core is running out of hydrogen (which fuels the stars' light emanation). It's among the top candidates to supernova soon; and perhaps...maybe it will collapse tomorrow , or has already gone out with a Super Nova Blast.  The light is 650 years past, so if it happens today, it was 650 years ago.
