The unbearable blahness of being
I really shouldn't say that should i? Last night we had a great reading group. We are going through Knowledge of the HigherWorlds and as such living one's life with dignity, gentleness and grace, but with love, truth and courage, is paramount... Steiner does give some really good advice about attempting to become clairvoyant. So why should someone want to become clairvoyant, is my question? I think the answer might be because that is our birthright, each and everyone's birthright. And what exactly is clairvoyance? I think, for me, it is about being aware of the bits of oneself that one is usually unaware of and attempting to live life to one's best ability. A lifestyle that Steiner says should be done whether one is ever to acheive clairvoyance or not.
Woke today at 5 am. Wrote, took bath, did eurythmy, had breakfast, washed dishes, woke kids, got changed, did pets... the usual blah blah blah... and then to work. As the boys slept today i watched them, just before they woke. I think that has to be my favourite look... the beautiful sleeping child. Ghin of course found it impossible to wake up and so i played the recorder. I'm getting quite excited about writing my own music for the classes.
I'm also researching on the Three Magi who it turns out were Zoroastrian priests. They were following the star which was fortelling of the birth of their master, and that master, was of course Jesus... i do wish i could have stayed for the Incarnation of the Logos. I did attend it, but then Ghin was not sitting through it and having none of it.
The fascinating thing about it is the stories we learnt were sort of half told. Like Mary was not a simple farmgirl, but the only female temple initiate. She was betrothed to Joseph who far from being a hapless cuckold, was descended from a line of kings and was expected to produce the Messiah. The holy family fled to Heliopolis, the City of the Sun in Egypt. There according to the Aquarian gospels ... i'm not making this up i promise you... he learned philosophy, spent long hours discussing theology with scholars and was initiated into a secret brotherhood.
Now even if one is entertaining this for a while, it makes far more sense that Jesus who at the age of 29 suddenly appears on the scene spouting the most profound parables. It makes far more sense than someone who was a poor carpenter's suddenly having lots and lots of insight into religious scripts. That would make far more sense.
Strangely enough, instead of making Jesus more divine, this version of his life makes him more human. And it is with some relief to me that someone has thought about his early life and gone, you know, it's just not good enough that some 20 odd years were missing from it. Let's try and found out what happened.
Also reincarnation is something Orthodox Jews still believe in.
So that's the weirdness of my life for now.
I have made the truffle mixture though. And probably will get round to doing something about it tonight. Right....
