Uriel

Iris Sullivan

A Summary of THE ST. JOHN IMAGINATION, from ~The Four Seasons and the Archangels Lecture 4, by Rudolf Steiner

When we look up to the heavens at MidSummer, we gain the impression of expansive cosmic Intelligence. We get the feeling that cosmic Intelligence is alive everywhere , an impression of many beings that live together & within each other, woven thru with light; the polar opposite of the Will.

Down below, deep within the Earth, we feel —that in the blue darkness everything is experienced as will forces.  Yet up above we feel — everything we perceive is illumined, permeated, with a feeling of intelligence.

St. John's RS GA 229 Plate V
Rudolf Steiner plate 5

Within this radiant activity there appears the extremely earnest countenance of the Archangel Uriel, which arises glowing warmly out of the pervading radiant Intelligence (red head in the yellow, Plate V). We have the impression that this being forms its body of light, out of the radiant Intelligence. And for this to happen at the height of summer, the elemental spirits of the Earth must soar upwards. And as they do, they weave themselves into the shining Intelligence up above, & the shining Intelligence receives them into itself. And out of that gleaming radiance Uriel takes form.

Uriel by Daniel Moreau

It is with great earnestness that this representative of the weaving cosmic forces, seeking to embody himself in a vesture of light, appears in the time of summer. The intelligence of Uriel arises from the working together of the planetary forces, supported by the working of the fixed stars of the Zodiac. The deeds accomplished by Uriel in the radiant light, preserves the thoughts of the cosmos, in his thoughts.

The feeling comes: “You clouds of summer, radiant with Intelligence, in which are reflected up above the blue crystal-formations of the earth below, just as these blue crystal-formations mirror in turn the shining Intelligence of the summer clouds — out of your shining there appears in high summer, with earnest countenance, a concentrated Imagination of Cosmic Understanding…Through the power of attraction residing in the concentrated cosmic Intelligence of Uriel, the silver forces (white) are drawn upwards, and in the light of this inwardly shining Intelligence, as seen from the Earth, they appear as radiant sunlight, densifying into a glory of gold. One has the immediate feeling that the gleaming silver, streaming up from below, is received by the sunlit radiance above. And the earth-silver — the phrase is quite correct — is changed by cosmic alchemy into the cosmic gold which lives and weaves in the heights.”

With the sprouting, springing life, we can no longer speak of matter permeated by spirit, as it is in winter. We have to speak of spirit woven through with matter – with silver and gold.

Tomorrow we follow Uriel’s gaze into human morality & conscience.

Until soon – Blessings and Peace ~Hazel Archer Ginsberg

But the mirror continues to reflect
Myself. Whose enemy am I?
Who calls me adversary?
I will to free myself
From being your antagonist.

I am free
To love.

  1. Dear Hazel, your deeds, your sharings show thet “You are Free to Love”
    thank you

    1. Bless you dear Caroline! for this I strive…
      I really think the 5 hygienic eurythmy exercises have helped me over come my antipathies to some degree, well, at least make me more conscious of them,
      so that i can fill myself with love & light, & use my imaginative cognition to let it flow out to all that lives,
      & then feeling it come back in the Love A exercise.
      In this life i have had a lot of obstacles to love, so it doesn’t come naturally for me to be a loving person, i am too critical & cynical…
      But i pray for grace everyday, to overcome my inclinations, so that i can better embody The Christ…
