5.1.26 - 10 - Epiphany: The 12 nights can plant a seed of Good Will

-



The mystery of the seed - how spirit becomes matter

The narrowness of the path we tread: choose the path to serve the self or serve humanity

Nights of the White Lily

The wideness of the path of the Earth: we are called to be on earth and everything is food to the soul

The mirror of Uriel - confront who we are. Work on ourselves for the well-being of others.

Transform negative thoughts into positive thoughts through the agency of Christ

Nights of the Sword

Develop discernment by reconciling the Son of God and the Son of Man

Wisdom: Who rules our souls? Who is the Lord of our soul, the author of our actions? 

Courage and faithfulness to the purpose of the Lion

Nights of the Crown

Lower self surrenders and all that remains is the desire to serve and to give oneself

The Voice within us that calls through the various incarnations: its clarity increases through sacrifice and decision.

The focused and resolute forces of Sagittarius must be engaged so that they can receive the spiritual good. 

5/6 January

Adam Kadmon - Epiphany

I'm currently listening to Steiner's lecture on Adam Kadmon in Lemuria. As usual it is very weird and full of his own unique scientific understanding of the world. In this case, it is that the human head is dead like the Earth and that the Sun eats comets which sustains it. There's only 20 more minutes left so I think I should continue listening to it. 

What we have understood and received in the Twelve Holy Nights, we must now bring into life and spiritualize matter and soul. 

Well, that's easy to understand - but not so easy to do.

The Dante (?) Twelve Nights are important for life and destiny throughout the year. 

Do not know what the Dante Twelve Nights are. Very odd. But the rest of the sentence makes sense.

They can plant a seed of Good Will.

It was doing the 12 nights a few years ago that I realised that the human being is a pattern machine. We love patterns because otherwise is will be chaos.

Speaking of chaos, I have been listening to the Pistis Sophia and learning about the Sabaoth. I think I will delve more into this Pistis Sophia this year. Might get the physical text as well. 

I must be online less. A lot less. I know this. Then I will have time to do so much more. I have spent this last two years just being chronically online - because of Gaza and because of the state of American politics. I will no longer be distracted, I will bring my action to the real world.

Geylang Serai is the place i feel most at home in Singapore. Possibly because a vast majority of the population are still Singaporean and i speak the language they speak there - Malay. Also, it hasn't changed that much. OK, it has, but i'd like to think it hasn't. We ate at the new market there which used to be a little better than an open sewer. But it was our open sewer and we loved it. Geylang was heaving with people getting ready for Ramadan. On the table we have sup kambing, otak-otak, nasi padang and rojak. Drinkswise we have lime juice, Kickapoo and teh. It is hot - really hot. We are all pespiring and we can feel our clothes stick to our skin and bellies and thighs. Our hair is continuously in our faces, dripping and sticking too. The only thing that brings relief is a soak in the pool or a shower and an airconditioned room. No wonder when the boys came back, the first thing they said was, ah, it's great to be back in th cool weather again!. Singaporeans love th...

19.3.26 - 74 - Eulogy: What will survive of us is love

I wrote and read this for Pa at the service. It was in long hand, but I have it here typed out now. It is peppered with verses from the New Testament, because I was asked by the priest to refer to Jesus occasionally, so I made that concession. Big shout out to Ben and the Christian Community whom I spent many a delighted evening reading and discussing the Bible during Bible study class. =========================== Thank you everybody for coming here to honour the life of husband, father and legend which is Eric Sim Chin Seng. Pa crossed over on the 16th of March at 7.30 am. He went peacefully and gently. He breathed his way slowly past this life and on to the new one, leaving his bark, his body, which carried him and his indomitable spirit and endless capacity to love, for 81 years, to say farewell to one last time. This tribute is to you, for you, Pa, who always walked in the sacred steps of Jesus Christ and lived the best life which could be lived. Part I: John 1:14 "The word be...

I should try and love Singapore. And I have really tried to love it. Really. But life in Singapore is not real life. Sadly. The only thing which is real about it is my relationships with my family. I understand we lead very privileged lives. We live in a beautiful house and we live in Serangoon Gardens. I get to swim everyday. We never worry about where the next meal's coming from. Very importantly, we have our health and we have each other. These are all very good things, nothing to be sneezed at. But Singapore itself ... that's a different story. Where to begin? I cannot complain because we actually live in a very nice part of Singapore. It's it unique in all of Singapore. There is no other place like it. In fact the government should slap a preservation order on the place. It is an actual village. Ring fenced by the houses and the roads, it was possibly designed by the British Army as a defensible position. Maybe they didn't mean to do it, but it is that way neverthe...
