Move along please
Oh god, the last few days have been hell. Simply because i just want Christmas to be here and not have to do anything. Although that is most likely unlikely. I think there will be a vegetarian lunch of some description. I'll make paneer, some aloo something or other and then some dessert. The boys love the dessert...
The camera is back in my possession so i shall now have photos taken. However the really good news is that i will soon have a new camera. Tomorrow i will do some budgeting and then decide which camera i shall buy.
Ugh...
Just get here now Christmas!!!
Back to reading Outline to Hidden Science. Intriguingly i have discovered that the Philisophy of Freedom is actually the strapline to the book; the book is called Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path: The Philosophy of Freedom. Seeing how i've been thinking about intuition, this was intriguing. I am really getting this, the importance of proper intuition. And Steiner teaching is all about learning to trust yourself, ie honing the intuition. But not potshots in the dark, rather logical, methodical steps, inspired by the spirit, but done in a clear, well thought out way.
My problem is that i am inspired by the spirit but i can't seem to control the astral body and so it all gets out of control. I need to be able to acknowledge what intuition is telling me, clarify it and then break it down into sensible steps which bring light into my life. Right now it is intuition and BAM!!! There needs to be a bit of space and time in between. Which is why practising patience is so important.
So i have rethought the whole someone supporting you spiritually in a romantic way... and i thought really people support each other ALL THE TIME. I think of my sweet darling mother doing this, and my sister who does this too, and all those friends on FB and not on FB and all my colleagues... and then as i thought this the world seemed a very rich and beautiful place. Like it was festooned with thousands of lights, each a candle lit for me, for each other...
One of those candle posted this in her FB Wall today. Vaclav Havel passed away on Sunday. And he wrote this... yes, one can be a politician and maintain one's integrity. It is possible.
The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin — and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost.
