Insight – Conscience

Insight,

Beloved Friends –

While Michael wants us to develop a consciousness of the human being in relation to the supersensible,

Uriel wants us to wake up towards an inner conscience.

From Rudolf Steiner we know that Uriel’s intelligence governs all planetary and zodiac activity in the cosmos, and that in Uriel’s thinking, world thinking is embedded. His gaze is stern, making us aware of our faults and misdeeds, of our karmic debt to humanity and the earth. Uriel asks us to develop a ‘historic conscience’…

 

 “Uriel, ruling guardian of summer heights,

You with the all-penetrating gaze.

From your eyes stream forth

The light of the resting stars,

Of the wandering moon,

Of fire flaming powers of lightning.

You watch and judge the reapers of the harvest,

Of us, man on earth, usurpers of the light.

You, Archangel Uriel, conscience of the world,

Wisest among all angels”.

~ From Uriel, a St. John’s Hymn By Wilfried Hammacher,

Translated by Truus Geraets

Happy Father’s Day and Greetings on this the longest day –

Summer Solstice 2015

Summer
In radiant heights
Where, glistening in the sun,
The friendly dragonflies are
Flitting out rays of warmth
Which blend into the space around,
There, tarry thou, my soul;
For, thinking of me, they weave
From sadness, strength.
Already I can feel
How they are sensing me;
How warmth streams from them,
Permeating me.
The spirit dissolves
In cosmic interweaving,
The earthly heaviness
Into light of the future.
~Rudolf Steiner

We can seek to experience the ego development of humankind by following the earnest gaze of the Archangel Uriel into the earth,  guiding the union of the sun’s inner radiance with the being of the earth.

Like the call of conscience from John the Baptist, the need arises to let the light of the higher ego shine into our being, knowing that the union of creator and created is affected by the disharmony from the imperfect deeds of humanity.

We respond to the summertime call for a yearly ‘metanoia’ by reviewing our deeds of the past year, (like we do at the time of the Winter Solstice) while the ‘eye of heaven’ gazes down upon us.

We seek to know the will forces, that through our deeds, become part of the earth’s being.

In the Summer-Tide, through ‘the great window of heaven’ we experience an interaction between humanity and the sun forces,  assisting us to develop an awareness of our ego. The summertime union between the sun and earth is actually a reunion between  the divine gods of the spiritual sun & their offspring, humankind.

We can contemplate this dynamic & bring it to life in our soul most strongly at this time.

Chicago Event

Greetings Friends –

“In Summer the process of outbreathing is at its height. The earth has given its soul to the cosmos…

the soul of the earth strives toward the stars, it wants to know about the life of the stars and planets.

And, in its own way, it is most united with the movements of the stars, through the light of the Summer Sun at St. John’s time.

~Rudolf Steiner from ‘Man’s Being, His Destiny, and World-Evolution’ May 21, 1923

 

In the new mysteries we strive at St. John’s Tide toward an enhanced awareness of our will forces – an effort to ‘make straight the path’, to recognize our potential for discordant, as well as selfless acts; an effort to enable the higher ego to come to expression ever more fully in the mysterious recesses of our personal priorities with respect to our will.
