Session 013 Video Recording Now Available
Session 013 Notes


(1)  Our GET group continues to grow!  

      There are currently 167 people registered from 26 countries, with 139 people
      viewing the video replays last week and 22 participants at this week's session.


(2)  This week's topical focus:  

      >  The distinctive characteristics of body, soul, and spirit.  Soul exercises for
          discerning and developing the seven stages / levels / types of will.  Maturation
          leads to greater difficulties and life challenges.  Achieving this incarnation's
          spiritual development priorities prepares us to make progress on missed
          opportunities from past lives.  Equanimity (the third "Essential Exercise") as
          mastery of victimhood, polarization, codependence, rebellion, critiquing,
          resistance, manipulation, etc.


(3)  Session handouts:

      ~  GET 013 - Slides

      ~  Rudolf Steiner 1909 - Metamorphoses of the Soul: Paths of Experience - 
          Lecture 4: The Mission of Reverence

      ~  Rudolf Steiner 1919 - Study of Man: Foundations of Human Experience - 
          Lecture 4 - Development of Human Will and Feeling Nature

      ~  Rudolf Steiner 1923 - The Child's Changing Consciousness as the Basis of
          Pedagogical Practice - Chapter 1


(4) Apologies for the delay:

      Two days ago we lost access to the cloud server hosting Wise Cosmos videos, 
      but this morning we were finally able to upload the Session 013 video.

Quote of the Week:

Whoever seeks higher knowledge must create it for herself. She must instill it into her soul. It cannot be done by study; it can only be done through life.

The spiritually experienced know how much they owe to [negative, painful, horrific] circumstances that they again and again turn to the good, and about which they withhold adverse judgement. But this must not remain an external rule of life; rather it must take possession of our innermost soul.

~ Rudolf Steiner, How To Know Higher Worlds: A Modern Path of Initiation

Opportunities

The number of people in the global Wise Cosmos community is expanding.  We grew an amazing 62% from January 2020 to January 2021. Together we represent 59 countries. Our community is comprised of people from North America (64%) and from other nations (36%).

In order to improve our service, the Wise Cosmos team has also grown during this period.  One year ago we had four team members spread across three time zones.  Today we have nine team members stretched across six time zones.
  
Seeking additional Wise Cosmos team members:

In order to continue effectively serving our growing, worldwide Wise Cosmos community, we have an immediate need to hire three more team members:
  
+ Data management coordinator.

+ Website programmer
   (expert in Laravel, PHP, CSS, Vue, BitBucket, Ubuntu, and Lexi-Wiki software).

+ Marketing coordinator.

For details, contact our Operations Manager, Jodi Chandler, at Jodi@wisecosmos.org

Seeking additional Wise Cosmos project volunteers:
  
Wise Cosmos is looking for volunteers of many kinds. At this time we are
particularly seeking people to contribute their creativity, energy, and time to
the following projects:

+ Transcribing videos, mostly by Brian Gray, into transcripts for use in creating video
    captions in service of those people who are hearing impaired and for whom English
    is not their primary language.

+ Translators of ANY language (other than English) to translate video transcripts for
    use in creating video subtitles in service of those people for whom English is not
    their primary language.

+ People who can help us create a unique anthroposophy lexicon/wiki. Our most
    immediate need is someone to take the lead managing wiki software.  Also needed
    are those interested in researching and creating the lexicon and wiki entries.

+ Other projects and roles. If you have skills or talents that you would like to contribute
    in service to the Wise Cosmos community, let's explore the possibilities together!

For details, contact our Senior Editor, Julia Belgrave, at Julia@wisecosmos.org.
