Remembering – Sergei O Prokofieff’s Death Day

Remembering

Dear Friends –

Many in the Anthroposophical Society are planning to lift their thoughts up to Sergei Prokofieff tomorrow Sunday, July 26th, 2015, at 10am, wherever you are in the world.

This is the one year anniversary of his passing into the spiritual world.

Holding an imagination of a ‘soul chalice’, a ‘wave’ of love surrounding and uplifting and soaring with him from human beings everywhere on earth, sending love and appreciation for his gifts, to all Michael students and beyond.

Perhaps speaking the Foundation Stone Meditation, or whatever it is you might like to offer from your heart.

Many have been holding the commitment of accompanying our brother Michaelite, especially for this 1st year, as he revisits the last three years of this earthly life, the time of his illness.

 

May he not walk alone! Now is the time for our whole community to come together in a healing space. No matter where you are, we are together in spirit.
Sergei Olegovitch Prokofieff
16 January 1954 – † 26 July 2014

Upward to thee strive the love of my soul,
Upward to thee flow the stream of my love!
May they sustain thee,
May they enfold thee
In heights of Hope,
In spheres of Love.

~Rudolf Steiner

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

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.
