~The Soul of the World becomes visible
On the cross of the Worlds body
Thru Wisdom, Love, & the power of Will
Thru All-sense & thru I-sense
She lives, & finds
Within Herself the Spirit of the World…
(my current thoughts on the Sophia Sun)

The Rhythm of the Foundation Stone Meditation for Friday
***
A run-on sentence…
If we breathe out all fear & anxiety, & engage our soul forces in the building of the New Earthly-Human Sun, the ideal goal of all future evolution; which can, if we will it, be experienced & accomplished right here & now, in every moment, as the most real, practical, life-giving, healing, nourishing, spiritual activity, & as an expression of our true compassion to humanity on both sides of the threshold & the to earth, with the ever present help of the spiritual world.

Greetings friends – The Central Regional Council will sponsor a Zoom Study Group Meeting for April 8th on the Karma of Epidemics (details below)
ALL are welcome to join us. April 8th 2020, 7:15 pm CST (see audio conference details below)
“Imagine a people which was composed entirely of liars, the astral plane would be populated solely by the corresponding demons and these demons would be able to express themselves in a constitutional tendency to epidemics. Thus there is a certain species of bacilli who are the carriers of infectious diseases; these beings are the progeny of the lies told by human beings; they are nothing else than physically embodied demons generated by lies.” (GA 99 – L.6)
Theosophy of the Rosicrucian – The Law of Destiny – Schmidt Number: S-1539

Join Hazel Archer-Ginsberg for a powerful presentation Lifting the Veil of the New Isis-Sophia, to bring Light to Love.
