Session 029 Video Recording Now Available |
| | Session 029 Notes
“I have emphasized again and again that it is not as easy to understand the human being from the perspective of spiritual science as it is out of a materialistically orientated science. For that which we perceive as the sense-perceptible human being is, for spiritual science, only one member of the whole being.”
~ Rudolf Steiner, Man and Woman in Light of Spiritual Science. Presented in Munich, Germany on March 18, 1908.
(1) This week's topical focus:
Models representing the nature of the human being: threefold, fourfold, sevenfold, and ninefold. Three types and levels of developmental exercises: exoteric (body), mystical (soul), and esoteric (spirit). Three levels of our 'I': ephemeral 'I' (body), inner 'I' (soul), eternal 'I' (spirit). "Christ and Christianity are within the grasp of the most naïve consciousness and at the same time challenges the deepest wisdom."
(2) Session handouts:
~ GET 029 - Slides
~ Pierre Pradervand - The Gentle Art of Blessing
~ Rudolf Steiner 1904 - Cosmic Memory - The Fourfold Man of Earth - GA 11
NOTE: Most GET videos contain additional content that was only verbally referred to during the session. The Handouts button (located next to the video Watch Now button) also almost always contains more resources for going deeper than were originally shared during the live class. |
| | Video Release Delay Comes To An End
Many people have written to us inquiring about the delay of the video releases of GET sessions 029 to 041. All have expressed compassionate concern, for which we are most grateful.
It has been illuminating for us to hear how different people have experienced this interim period. Some have turned it into a time of growth by focusing on applying the concepts they have learned so far in GET. On the other hand, others have shared the feeling of loss, of a hole in the rhythm of their week, causing an increasing yearning and thirst for the next building blocks in this foundational series. A third group has taken this opportunity to re-watch some of the earlier sessions, gaining new insights that were previously missed because only now are they ready (and have had the time) to learn those concepts or examine them in a new way.
The sole factor causing the delay of the GET video releases is spiritual. It is the archangelic Being that is Guidance in Esoteric Training that has guided me to pause dissemination for an interim period. Every day for the past 20 weeks, I have asked this Being, "Can we begin releasing now?" Every day the answer has been "no." That is the entire reason for the delay.
Why? The bottom line answer is that the Being of GET has wanted to achieve a range of specific, tailored developments in our individual lives. I know some of those reasons because several of you have shared them with us. I am aware of other reasons because the Being of GET has shared them with me. Personally, my struggles and other experiences during this interim period have resulted in profound transformations.
Finally, six weeks ago, the answer to my daily question was, "Yes, you may begin releasing the GET sessions". Hallelujah!
So I sent out a newsletter to all GET registrants sharing that news. What I was going to write next was that I expected the first video to be released within 2-3 days, but the Spirit guided me to say instead, "I don't know what the release date schedule will be for GET sessions 029 to 039 (and beyond until the session releases catch up to real time weekly), because the Being of GET will direct that. As I have for the past three months, I will continue to trust in the wisdom of our Guide."
I certainly didn't expect to be restrained another six weeks before sending out another video! During this period there have been more emails from the GET community, most sharing that their journey has been fruitful in ways they never expected, but there have also been others who have expressed a growing sense of loss resulting from the delay. For me, personally, it has been a combination of both.
Happily, the day has arrived when I feel released to begin sending the videos out again. I will be very curious to hear more stories from our GET community about your experiences regarding the timing of these videos arriving in your lives. Those of us participating in the live sessions these past five months have had some very powerful experiences. We hope our stories, our questions and epiphanies, will be a blessing to you.
With you on the adventure,
Lelan
