We
are all happy when we see the sun coming, we wonder and enjoy when we
can see the power of its presence, and we are glad when we can feel its
warmth and beauty. The sun is also in ourselves behind the few curtains
and veils. Let us open them. In
winter and especially at Christmas, the light and consciousness of the
Christ, the spiritual sun penetrates our earth, and it is our duty to
embrace His love and wisdom and also learn to share like him. The
rose knows about the mystery of transformation and giving. It takes all
substances from the environment and gives us, in difference to other
plants its particular beauty
and wonderful essence. Man has the possibility to transform himself and
like a rose take from God and the cosmos, from his light and his music
all the spiritual substances in order to incarnate light. From
the stream of life man and woman can learn like the rose, through
consciousness and discipline to open the doors of his or her spiritual
centers. Constancy and well doing as an outcome of a necessary strong
will should be the fruits of comprehension and the expression of the
deepest and highest part of us, then the works that we do will be done
with great love, joy and thankfulness. With
courage and trust in your inner divinity you can tread the path of
evolution, which will lead you to learn to use all energies well by
study, observation, experiment and watchfulness. Total sincerity is
required from you, at least with yourself and with God. Search for your
true face and unite and transform the other parts of you in a one
creative work of art. Yes,
the sun is in us, look for it and find it, then you will have a natural
distance to all phenomena of life and at the same time the understanding
that we all are united and form part of one great living family. You
will see that your thoughts, emotions, words and deeds affect yourself
and others, so you will naturally try to refine them. By
every deed of true love you expand your consciousness to the reality of
the oneness of life and approach the freedom of Christ and God
consciousness. May
the roses bloom upon your cross |

Excerpts
from “The web of destiny ”, page 72-73 , by Max Heindel:
The comparatively weak and invisible
currents generated by the group spirits of the plants, and the very strong
powerful rays of force generated by the Christ Spirit now becoming visible as
the Aurora Borealis, have hitherto been of about the same nature as static
electricity, while the currents generated by the animal group spirits and which
encircle the earth may be likened to dynamic electricity which gave the earth
its power of motion in by-gone ages. Now, however, the Christ currents are
becoming more and more forceful and their static electricity is being liberated.
The etheric impulse which they give will
inaugurate a new era, and the sense organs now possessed by mankind must
accommodate themselves to this change. Instead of the etheric rays which emanate
from an object bringing a reflected image to the retina of our eye, the
so-called "blind spot" will be sensitized and we shall look out
through the eye and see directly the thing itself instead of the image upon our
retina. Then we shall not only see the surface of the thing we observe, but we
shall be able to see through and through it as those who have cultivated the
etheric vision do now.
As time goes on and the Christ by His
beneficent ministrations attracts more and more of the interplanetary ether to
the earth, thus making its vital body more luminous, we shall be walking in a
sea of light, and when we learn to forsake our ways of selfishness and egotism
through the constant contact with these beneficent Christ vibrations, we also
shall become luminous. Then the eye as it is now constituted would not be of
service to us, therefore it is now beginning to change and we are experiencing
the discomfort incident to all reconstruction. It may be said further with
reference to the Aurora and its effects upon us, that these rays are radiated
through every part of the earth, which is the body of Christ, from the center to
the periphery, but in the inhabited parts of the world these rays are absorbed
by humanity as the rays of the plant group spirits are absorbed by the flower.
These rays constitute the "inner
urge" which is slowly but surely impelling mankind to adopt an attitude of
altruism. They are the impregnating rays which fructify the soul, so that
eventually the immaculate conception will take place and the Christ will be born
within each of us. When we have all thus become perfectly impregnated, the
Christ light will begin to radiate from us. Then we shall walk in the Light as
He is in the Light, and we shall all have Fellowship, one with another.

The
Lords Prayer is an unsurpassable work despite its brevity. With this prayer you
can work for your whole life and even afterwards in your future life you can
never exhaust its contents. Because it is like a seed which everybody can deeply
bury in his inner earth. So I have made it. Then I have taken this seed and
sowed it into the earth of my nature, I have looked after it carefully, I have
watered it, warmed, shed light on it, and it has become a tree now, whose roots
are deeply established in my soul and whose crown rises up to heaven. Therefore
I tell this to you, one can deepen this prayer up to the infinite: It covers all
areas of life and touches all our mental and spiritual processes, it gives our
life meaning. But as in the case of the seed one must put it in the earth first
and awaken it to life inside oneself. Then, little by little, one will discover
in it all wealth.

Excerpts
from: “The way of perfection” by Teresa of
Those
who are able to shut themselves up in this way within this little Heaven of the
soul, wherein dwells the Maker of Heaven and earth, and who have formed the
habit of looking at nothing and staying in no place which will distract these
outward senses, may be sure that they are walking
on an exellent road, and will come without fail to drink of the water of
the fountain, for they will journey a long way in a short time.
We
must cast aside everything else, in order to approach God inwardly and we must
retire within ourselves even during our ordinary occupations. If I can recall
the companionship which I have within my soul for as much as a moment, that is
of great utility.
If
we can, let us practice recollection many times daily; if not, let us do so
occasionally. As we grow accustomed to it, we will feel its benefits, either
sooner or later. Once the Lord has granted it to us, we should not exchange it
for any treasure.
Nothing,
sisters, can be learned without a little trouble, so do, for the love of God,
look upon any care which you take about this as well spent. I know that, with
God`s help, if you practice it for a year, or perhaps for only six months, you
will be successful in attaining it. Think what a short time that is for
acquiring so great a benefit, for you will be laying in good foundation, so that,
if the Lord desires to raise you up to achieve great things, He will find you
ready, because you will be close to Himself. May his Majesty never allow us to
withdraw ourselves from His presence. Amen

Paracelsus
Shakespeare
The
seven deadly sins are envy, sloth, lust, anger, gluttony, pride and avarice.
Until the aspirant has made some progress toward eradicating these seven deadly
sins, he can not advance very far upon the path of attainment.

Commit
to the Lord whatever you do,

your plans will succeed.
All

mere talk leads only to poverty.
How
much better to get wisdom than Gold,

choose understanding rather than silver.
Whoever
gives heed to instruction prospers,

blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
A
wise man’s heart guides his mouth,
and
his lips promote instruction.
Pleasant

which
opens the heart
it

and
gives the water of endlessness
to
the thirsty soul
which
dies without it.
