TODAY:
The Feast Day of St. Mark – the Winged Lion. The Mark Gospel reveals Christ as a Cosmic Being. It speaks in the “language of the macrocosm.”
Every word in St. Mark’s Gospel indicates great cosmic connections between processes in the universe and every step taken and every deed performed by Christ in the body of Jesus of Nazareth here on Earth. If you were to draw a map of the paths He trod and the deeds He performed and were then to study the corresponding processes in the heavens, the picture would be the same: processes in the heavens would seem to have been projected down to the Earth.
The Gospel of St. Mark gives expression to the wonderful harmony between the great Cosmos and what was to come to pass once on our Earth through the deeds of Christ Jesus and the Mystery of Golgotha. We cannot understand this Gospel unless we can decipher the writing of the stars and that requires insight into the secrets of the language of the heavens. ~Mystery Teachings in St. Mark’s Gospel by Rudolf Steiner.

POD (Poem Of the Day)
~I am blind until the moment I see
Thru another soul’s eyes
Listening with my hands
Lips pressed in prayer
My head rests in love
Limbs moving in sync with the will
Of spirit ensouled
The Logos in lemniscate
Strengthening the ether
In visible speech we stand
Together at the center of forever
~hag = Hazel Archer Ginsberg
Cosmic being passing through earth…and living on to share many lessons. Why do I feel so lost in this.? Why have we forgotten how to read the stars?
Of spirit ensouled
Maybe.. That it remembers.?
“Stars once spoke to Man
It is World destiny that they are silent now.
To be aware of the silence
Can become pain for earthly Man.
But in the deepening silence
There grows and ripens
What Man speaks to the Stars
To be aware of the speaking
Can be strength for Spirit-Man”
Give to Marie Steiner by Rudolf Steiner on Christmas Day 1922
We had to forget so we could learn it anew, in freedom.
