SinPeter asked the interpreter of the Teacher, What is sin? Mary answered him, there is no sin, but that which you act according to your own corrupted nature. From the The Gospel of Mary Magdalene |
Situations"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
Small things and Big ThingsIts the small deeds of kindness and love that count the most, for the greatest is in the least. No matter where you are, you have the seed of the spirit life in you, use it wisely, but also, use it. No matter how small the deed appears to you, it may change the life of another. |
Social LifeA healthy social life is found only, when in the mirror of each soul the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the whole community the virtue of each one is living” Rudolf Steiner |

A Proverb of the Wise |
Song of the ElephantsWho is as heavy as we, or as strong?Ho! but we trample the shambas down! (All together, stamping steadily In time.) 'Twas we who lonely echoes woke Once we were monarchs from sky to sky, 'Twas we who lonely echoes woke Still we are monarchs! Our strength and weight (All together, ears up and trunks extended.) 'Twas we who lonely echoes woke Still we are monarchs of field and stream! (All together, trunks up-thrown, ears extended, and stamping in slow time with the fore-feet.) 'Twas we who lonely echoes woke - Talbot Mundy |
Soul & BodyOnce we accept 'bodies' as having a soul then we begin to contemplate re-embodiment. We look for evidence, or signs of this. Everyone and anyone should be able to determine the fact that it is naive to think the material has the intelligence - even though we say for instance that metals have a sort of memory etc, but aside from these, what else deepens our understanding enough to look for the soul in the spirit? And that means the material has some kind of specialization that comes from a source that is continuous, and also, as in fertilization, it can impregnate material substance with dynamic force building power. |
Soul WorldsWe look into each other's worlds with as much love as we can so as to know each other and with as much love as we can, so we can know and learn and discover the richness of the world's we represent for each other that are as rich and abundant as the world outside. |
Soul-life WisdomSoul-life Wisdom is the substance that holds all moments together and harmonizes all thoughts, moods and emotions towards the goals of the life and being nature in each. Wisdom comes and teaches every individual soul what it needs and feeds it by sending rays of pure life-filled light. He who listens to soul-life wisdom and follows what she teaches will find everlasting life and harmonizing peace. |
Spiritual Development and the ImpossibleWhere there is will, then we make it happen~but nothing is more impossible than to expect the gods to do for you what you must do for yourself, from your own free will - spiritual development is also the way to know how to love our soul and its manifestation in us. It seems impossible to us at first, for the soul sees our physical self as "a bag of tricks" and a waste of good spiritual power - for the soul may chose to work in the spirit too! And so it is the first and last stages of our unfolding is to bring forth that power which is impossible when you understand how it has to work...from the impossible to the manifestation. Tazo |
