If it your 1st time here, this is a great way to be introduced to our
friends and student community. So please subscribe or enroll in a course, or make a free account here. You will find topics on spirituality, philosophy, science and metaphysics, stories, myths and legends, psychology, nutrition, and art.
Our policy is to let you have a voice, but please be courteous and respectful to the views of others.
A word about Spirituality. It is your choice; not ours or anyone else than you can make it. If you prefer to have worship or fellowship with your friends, and believe in them, then by all means continue. And If you are searching for a path
of knowledge that lifts the soul above the dead and life-less, then this is the School for you, and you will enjoy this forum as well!
This is a school of universal religious/philosophical renewal through spiritual knowledge and wisdom. All that are seeking a path of spiritual Wisdom are invited here to explore our work and participate in the creation of the life of soul that fosters
within itself the spirit seeking to live in us as a life-spirit nature. Our school provides a teaching and an atmosphere for the modern human soul to work and reflect upon itself at this moment in time and history and to work out the path it
feels within itself; as a will to explore, discover, or uncover. It is as a vessel or body of knowledge for the those souls seeking to advance in spiritual knowledge and to learn how to become lights for others on the path of knowledge. All
who are seeking to understand life, the creation of the earth and the soul, from a spiritual perspective will find a wonderful body of knowledge and revelation of the visions along the path in our particular teachings found here.
Our school promotes a teaching that seeks to harmonize the soul with the spirit, and for that purpose as human beings there is no doubt that men need light, a path, and friends; if they can be found. The biggest threats we face in seeking
the path is ignorance, jealousy, misunderstanding, and doubt.
Let us have no doubts; imagine for a moment that you are before the path and see the goal of the path in the distance leading into a spiritual realm, and you can see it as clearly as the steps to the physical temple or church, synagogue,
or any other earthly representation. And now imagine this is your choice to put your foot forward and cross the mountains of inner depression and anxiety over misguided selfishness; and you feel you can. Or to cross the seas of passions that
torment and tempt one off the path to death and destruction; and you know you must! Or the winds of thoughts; that gently blow behind you as a sign to go forward, and are the sign of Divine hands that you are on the path! These are things we speak about in our work. So come and learn and share together!

I would like to begin a new discussion
from the developing events that we live amongst today. Today, as the
Michael initiates we have an important task before us. We have a stark
dichotomy developing right now. This dichotomy is the differences in the
valuation of love. Our brothers and sisters of humanity outside our
school, not everyone, but most of the modern humans today, have a terrible
dis-ease. This dis-ease is the different perspectives of love and
human freedom. I would have to say Rudolf Steiner in his book
Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts foretold what we are seeing today. In
one portion of humanity, we have people acting through self-love
(Ahriman) and another portion acting through love for the action
(Michael). We hear the common term today of people saying and
recommending to people, "I think you need to go find your self". To an
untrained observer this seems like a very stimulating and energizing
path of development. Yet, there is a sort hollowness to it. It sounds
pretty, but rings with falsity. There isn't much substance to it. When
we seek things in a purely intellectual way we lose ourselves. As Rudolf
Steiner eloquently put it, "If, when men unfolds his freedom, he
succumbs to Ahriman's temptations, he is drawn into intellectuality as
if into a spiritual automatic process in which he is a part; he is no
longer himself. All his thinking becomes an experience of the head; but
this separates it from the experience of his own heart and the life of
his own will, and blots out his own being. Man loses more and more of
the true inner human expression by becoming the expression of his own
separate existence; he loses himself by seeking himself, he withdraws
himself from the world which he refuses to love. It is only when he
loves the world that man truly experiences himself". Yet, let us compare
this to the Michael experience. "When man seeks freedom without
inclining towards egoism - when freedom becomes for him pure love for
the action which is to be performed - then it is possible for him to
approach Michael. But if he desires to act freely and at the same time
develops egoism - if freedom becomes for him the proud feeling of
manifesting himself in the action - then he is in danger of falling into
Ahriman's sphere". With having read this quote, my question is to the
students here, what is it going to take to bring this understanding to
fulfillment? When will the new religion of love begin? When will the
Michael Prophecy be fulfilled? Where will it start? Has it already
started? What does Michael expect of us? Are we doing enough? Is there
enough of us? Why is there so little of us? Why is there so little of us
and why are there so many of our brothers and sisters of humanity
walking in darkness? The Michael Age will end in 2400 B.C. Is this the
end of one era and beginning of a new era for humanity? I would love to
hear your thoughts! Please join and share. I will continue to add
additional quotes from Steiner's book to help continue the conversation.
Thank you!

These lectures are extremely powerful.
I have a number of questions and points to elaborate as conversations as well.
First, here are a few observations and reflection that may build an image and a background context.
The first (and a bit of a long one) – is about the 7th epoch and its working out today people who are awakened to challenges of these times..
The 7th Epoch has been described by Steiner as the Anglo-American epoch and the one that will be presided over the Archangel by Oriphiel. It is described as an epoch that will spell trouble. RS said that Oriphiel last presided over human affairs when ancient Greek civilization crashed and burned.
We are indeed right now in an era when the Western civilization at least is crumbling at its moral, economic and legal foundations. We are also seeing the beginnings of new world-wide challenges such as the pandemic first, than the economic implications of the lockdowns of 2020 ie a world-wide economic recession - that are starting to be felt in the advanced economies of the world, than we have in the background of this two wave, the impacts of the various climatic changes including forecasts of global cooling (rather than the much talked global warming) and even behind that the threats of bioterrorism in the form of engineered viruses and gain of function research, and then not too far down the timeline, the imminent impacts of the incredible advances of artificial intelligence and the still in secretive research labs, the attempts to merge humanity with AI devices.
In these lectures, we hear that the 7th epoch is ruled by Scorpio and that Isis has entered the House of Glory and that Scoprio moves in the fields of consciousness.
In earlier forum conversations, we discussed that the Manicheans, the people of Zarathustra have reincarnated in mass at these times. As from 21st December 2020, the Great conjunction was astrologically at 0 degree Aquarius – an air sign.
We also hear in the lectures that the original form of feminine creation was fire – and elsewhere we have spoken and celebrated the emergence of the Divine Feminine and its aspects of creation bringing to those who are prepared a new power of rejuvenation.
Can you elaborate further on the current tasks, challenges and approaches and protective preparations for those like ourselves in this school as well as what may come up to our fellow mostly unsuspecting humanity, ie our families, friends, acquaintances etc.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I have a wonderful topic to discuss in our school. I think all of us, maybe not all, are familiar with the individual of Christian Rosenkreutz and his significance in the spiritual movement of Spiritual Science (e.g., Anthroposophy), as well as our school here. In some stories, St. Germain was reportedly at the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and was the unknown individual known as the "Professor" who urged the men gathered at Independence Hall to go forward with the signing of the document and start the American Revolutionary War and their search for independence. Also, he was supposedly selected to be on a special committee by the Continental Congress in 1775 to create the design of the American flag. Which was then given to Betsy Ross to execute. Yet, despite all these amazing and tantalizing stories one question remains in my mind. Rudolf Steiner spoke hardly anything about St. Germain, but had written dozens of lectures on his earlier incarnation as Christian Rosenkreutz and St. John the Divine (Lazarus). So my question is to Eugene and our school here, was Rudolf Steiner given guidance to not speak about St. Germain? And if that is the case, why?
One remarkable thing that we find about the St. Germain is found from the following book titled the "The Temple Legend" by Rudolf Steiner:
"What the Whitsuntide Festival symbolizes, the underlying principle from which it receives its deep inner meaning, is preserved in a single manuscript copy which is to be found in the Vatican Library, where it is guarded with the greatest care. To be sure, no mention is made of Whitsuntide in this manuscript, but it certainly tells of that for which Whitsuntide is only the outer symbol. Hardly anyone has seen this manuscript, unless he has been initiated into the deepest secrets of the Catholic Church, or has been able to read it in the Astral Light. One copy is possessed by a personality who has been very much misunderstood in the world, but who is beginning to interest today's historians. I could equally well have said ‘was possessed’ instead of ‘is possessed’, but it would thereby cause a lack of clarity. Therefore I say again: a copy is in the possession of the Count of St. Germain, who is the only existing source of information about it."
Could this be a hint from Rudolf Steiner? And if it is, what is this document? What is its meaning and why did the St. Germain have access to it?

At the time Uranus is in Aries the sign of the Ram.
This comet will be initially visible from the Northern Hemisphere, and later will become visible from the Southern Hemisphere in December 2021 and January 2022.
An amazing feature of this celestial visitor is that it’s an ultra-fast comet; it’s traveling at 158,076 miles per hour (254,399 km/h or 70.6 km per second) relative to Earth.
"God - the Highest Initiate from Saturn T
he Holy Spirit -the highest Initiate from the Moon."
There is a LOT to go into to get a feel for all this but my first question is...
If our generic idea of God is this great initiate then can we say this is God the Father?
and
if this is God the Father and we have something connected with Saturn
then
is it correct to say this is Father Time?
and
of this is Father Time then does this have anything to do with the Time Body that is a topic included in a recent series?
Tazo,
The Police State in America was established officially in 2001 with the passing of the Patriot Act during Bush Jnr (Republican) beginning era.
After reauthorization bills failed to pass Congress, parts of the Patriot Act expired on June 1, 2015.
In November 2019, the renewal of the Patriot Act was included in the stop-gap legislation.
The expired provisions required renewal by March 15, 2020.
Voila… now the Democrats are the ones who are to implement the next stage of it.
Hi Tazo,
Among all the Cosmic and planetary alignments that have led us to the culmination of the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ this 21 December 2020.
Also, highlighting the Astrological saying that solar year 2020 is the true beginning of the 21st century and observing the ‘counter-forces’ out-there attempts through this pandemic year to strengthen their control.
I want to share on this list an event that is centered on Uluru here in Australia and which has been called for, for this very same date.
I am attaching an article for consideration and to open the conversation here.
Among the many points, in this article, i highlight here the comment, similar to Steiner’s in Occult Science that ‘the sun is born from the body of the earth’
“For Aborigines (Original peoples), the Sun is female and is born from out of the Earth’s body. If a cord from the Earth to the Sun is ritually constructed and worked with, then the love and nourishment of the Earth will flow as a blessing to maintain the life and health of the Sun. In return, the Sun sends its own blessings to the Earth through this same umbilical cord.”
Fire is most invisible and therefore also most dangerous in the day light hours when we cannot see it so easily, but in the night when the darkness is present we see the fire and the light most easily. In scientific experiments with light, when two lights are shinning in a beam together and focused on a point, they cancel each other out and form a darkness where the beam is captured.
The question: Is this a sign of a spirit in the light?
What are your thoughts?
Everyone is wondering, everyone has many questions about the present
time. And one can ask: what is the connection thread in it all? And
the answer is in any case, our make-up is evolving. These changes are
indeed spiritual and the main fact about it is that these changes
have to do with the living bodies we inhabit. The main
instigator in change is 'chaos'. So we see the chaos in those minds
of people that feel the change is at out doorstep. And we must act,
that is the fact.
As we want to participate in changes with nature,
we might also awaken the wrong paths in our Ancient Memories. The
Ancient Memories are connections to the Vibratory materials in
minerals and plant materials in special matrices. These matrices are
formed in nature and along esoteric paths they enter the human
organism. And the attraction they have to us is going to be dependent
on the soul nature we have with and the spiritual elements that we
are able to introduce into our nature. Does this Sound like a lot?
Actually it is one of the main arguments to reinforce the importance
of spiritual studies in relationship to the invisible substance
materials. Why? It is because the invisible materials are able to be
'sensed' only when we have the power of thought developed to such an
extent that it matches in vibration and frequency those higher
building materials which come through the atmosphere. If you want to
place before yourself an example of this, then imagine how a bread
yeast is cultured. It arises by setting the mixture of flour and
water out to absorb the starter (the spark) of yeast. This is very
natural and also very specific too. Now imagine for yourself
the unnatural conditions of modern society. It is a very visible and
obvious imbalance of soul vs nature - and we can ask? Is this really
the way of nature?
Certainly it must take a lot more than whims and
wishful thinking to create a man in nature, but truly, is it not
important to take a time away and seek to balance your self, soul,
and inner being with a Spiritual Teaching about nature? This
has been the tradition in all cultures and societies, including
Christian, Buddhist, Islam, Hindu, Hebrew etc. They all have relied,
heavily relied on teachers and prophets that acquired their wisdom by
being in nature. Not one of our modern 'scientists', leaders,
politicians, 'officials' etc are of the same idea about this. We can
expect those who sell pizza will also promote pizza! And the
spiritual teachers promote their path because they are on the
path.
A person that teachers swimming, mountain climbing,
boating, canoeing, hiking, fishing, all of these are variations of
the same spiritual teachers as Buddha, Jesus, Chief Joseph, Lao Tsu,
and Mohamed. In fact, if we want to experience their real beauty as
men, we expect to meet them in the wilds.
John the Baptist was called
a teacher in the wilds and was a 'wild' man. We have to realize the
depth of heart, knowledge, and the light in their eyes when we
see them on our spiritual path, in our soul, and hearing them or
feeling them to guide and instruct us as to the path. And what comes
into us out of nature is spiritual substances. None of this can come
to us in a hospital bed in the same way.
There is no doubt about the
value of the medical staff, politicians, and otherwise leaders, but
the men of the wild have a greater role to play in the future health
of men than we currently imagine, and as the present condition of
life reveals. Something is not working, and the people need to get
out into nature and be men as natural beings and experience as much
as possible and choose to learn from those who have iron strong
immune systems without pills and drugs.
Drugs can only do what the
Sunlight or the fresh Water do! They are chemical replacements for
the same things that happen in nature. But nature has a full spectrum
of impressions to give, and those are separated by the hours of the
day and night. Drugs do not replace nature, they only are a 'piece'
of it, and never can supply the full spectrum of streaming forces
which actually control hunger, sleep, sexuality, moods, and inner
spirit.
To study these properly, one needs knowledge of
spiritual nature. I want to invite you to my new course Cellular
