| | Session 026 Notes
“First, behind the visible world there is another, the world invisible, which is hidden from the senses and also from thought that is fettered by these senses.
Second, it is possible for human beings to penetrate into that unseen world by developing certain inner faculties currently dormant . . . .”
~ Rudolf Steiner
(1) Our GET group continues to grow!
There are currently 244 people registered from 33 countries, with 14 participants at this week's session.
(2) This week's topical focus:
Behind everything that comprises our everyday life experience in the physical realm is the soul realm, and behind that is the spiritual realm. The absolute necessity for us to become seers – to train ourselves to habitually look past the exoteric physical manifestations to the soul underpinnings, and ultimately the spiritual sources. To not be satisfied until we are capable of this.
Everything changes when we discover that everything human beings do – whether good or bad, ugly or beautiful, steeped in truth or burdened by falsehood – may be perceived as an attempt to become more truly human and individual, more free and loving.
(3) Session handouts:
~ GET 026 - Slides
~ Rudolf Steiner 1905 - Foundations of Esotericism - Lecture 17 - "Behind Everything Is Spirit"
~ Rudolf Steiner quotes - Foundations for the Development of Soul and Spiritual Perception |

| 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:
+ 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.
