“Anthroposophy opens its wellsprings, so that the human will, carried by love, may draw from her waters. It brings to life love for humankind and thereby works creatively in impulses for moral action and true social interaction.” — Rudolf Steiner

“In the new mysteries the whole earth becomes an altar…Our friends & colleagues become for us, the terrible & wonderful actors in the ceremony of our initiation.” ~Adam Bittleson
My mission dear friends, is to share spiritual scientific research, and to co-create a conscious community. Let this be a clarion call to all who seek to know the being of Anthropo-Sophia. Let us join together in service –
“…That good may become
What from our hearts
We are founding,
What from our heads
We direct,
With single purpose…”
~The Foundation Stone Meditation by Rudolf Steiner

RUDOLF STEINER’S CALENDAR OF THE SOUL
translated (with added titles) by Roy Sadler.
I am putting this into Comments, as Hazel has suggested, because she cannot make verse’s line breaks in Substack.
ADVENT II (The Wine)
v36
The Cosmic Word,
Mysteriously urging to be heard,
Is speaking in my depths of being:
‘Inspire your life’s endeavour with my spirit light
To sacrifice yourself through Me’.
LAMMAS (The Bread) – this week’s mirror verse
v17
The Cosmic Word,
I’ve had the grace to lead through senses’ gates
Is speaking in my soul ground:
‘Imagine in your spirit’s depths my world expanse
To find in future Me in you’.
Karl König described the Soul Calendar’s 4 quarters as 4 voices:
1 – v1-13, the Tenor, sense perception conceiving spirit;
2 – v14-26, the Baritone, imaginative insight incarnating spirit;
3 – v27-39, the Soprano, inspiration for the spirit’s Christmas birth;
4 – v40-52, the Alto, intuitive love for a new spring world.
And in these pivotal, mirror verses of the Cosmic Word, I’ve put in the words,
not present in the original, of imagine & inspire (& intuit in v43, v17’s opposite)
