As I live into this last week with the virtue of Scorpio: ‘Patience - Becomes Understanding’, I am still facing my resistance to restraint – a suffering forbearance to my impatience in understanding.
And yet I awaken to the perseverance of human potential – the fortitude & endurance of deep waters pooling with creativity & innovation - A wellspring for Imaginative Cognition - the capacity to re-imagine, to re-new – To re-hydrate the blind husk of materiality into a germinal sprouting - a cooperative mutuality – a reciprocation that comes from nourishing each other, thru the seasons of our evolution.
A re-enlivening of our connection to Source - Even as we make an offering to the compost pile of past failures – What I am learning is that Compost is Patient – from it we build understanding - a corner stone in the foundation for a Rejuvenated Earth.
I know that the fruits I cultivate with you now, dear friend, will be re-born in limbs beyond this lifetime.
This is the strength of Patience - Trust - in the Truth – that we are co-creating a Bio-Dynamic Future – a holistic unfolding of our Christic humanness that realizes our collective task = The Transubstantiation of the Earth into a Star, an Eternal Light - Blessing All Souls, in All Worlds - a Sun in the Center of our Becoming – as Be-ings of Love.
Together we can build this Imaginative Cognition into the etheric & astral realms - a living picture purifying the astral, imprinting the etheric, & Spiritualizing the Earth - When 2 or more: Check out ‘How to 10:10’ on the “I Think Speech podcast.
It begins with our collective Imagination, then a rising in our Thinking & a new kind of Listening - an Etheric Tuning-in - a receiving of Inspiration. Then a Co-creating with the Creators thru Intuition.
We certainly can’t always see the increments of Patience. Especially when the bombs of war keep us shell-shocked.
And yet if we Listen – O how the sap pulses down like the burnished leaves wafting from the trees, to whisper secrets to the roots. Do you hear it? - The shifting - expressed as Cosmic & Earthly Music… For we are the embodiment of the ‘Music of the Spheres’.
Can we Be - Harmonious - yet ever-ready to embrace the awkward dissonance of metamorphosis - The clash that signals a key-change / re-vision - a knelling tocsin - Reminding us that: We are Beauty encompassing its opposite - Truth that shines the undeniable light of redemption.
And so as we make our descent into the dark of the year, let us make a Thanksgiving of our forgiving.
The inner & the outer – the spiritual & the material – our 2 hands praying - tuning the instrument of our soul, inviting a resonance into all life.
And in our listening stillness the silence resounds betwixt the intervals stepping up, & the eternity of the World-Word - the Logos of Love in Wisdom, which we shall Carol-forth.
We are the breathing airstream, the pulsing One-Heart rhythm, our hands & feet keep-keep the beat. Each of us, a songster in the Universal choir. A wizened Bard recounting the life-affirming opus to unborness - a call & response with our descendants - a holy hymn honoring the so-called dead - an ode to the other – a love song to our Future Self…
Keep singing…

16 November 2023 - “Speaking with the Stars”: The November Leonid meteor showers stream from a single point in the sky – their radiant point – in the constellation Leo the Lion. Leo rises around midnight in mid-November. Regulus, the brightest star in Leo, dots a backward question mark of stars known as the Sickle.
RUDOLF STEINER'S CALENDAR OF THE SOUL, translated (with added titles) by Roy Sadler. ALL HALLOWTIDE III - For Clarity Of Destiny - v32
I feel my own fruit-bearing power present me to the world and strengthen my innate intent to turn towards the clarity within life's web of destiny.
This verse can be regarded as the last autumn verse, and its mirror the first one, with an unknown power that can now become one's own creativity for the world as one's soul turns towards the clarity of her destiny.
AUTUMN PRELUDE I - My Future's Power - v21
I feel a strange new strengthening, fruit-bearing power of becoming; I sense the seed maturing and on a starlit loom a dawning vision weaving the pathway to my real being.
Today is the Feast Day of the Triple Goddess Hekate (note her crown)
According to Rudolf Steiner’s original Soul Calendar – Today is the Feast Day of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia

We are the weavers of a future, bio-dynamic and bright,
Crafting a tapestry with threads of light.
In the unfolding of our Christic humanness, a wondrous sight,
A journey towards harmony, taking flight.
Our collective task, a sacred art,
The Transubstantiation of Earth, our part.
From soil to star, a transformation to impart,
A celestial mission, from the start.
In this evolution, a Sun we become,
A center of light, where shadows succumb.
Blessing all souls, where despair is numb,
In every world, our love will drum.

Patience is the required waiting period for an intellectual concept to be absorbed into the etheric body. This takes three days, but it is first sensed the very next day in waking up with it. So, three days in order to beget the process of Understanding. Thus, this understanding leads to a further process of "thought transmission", which is the matter of the astral body. This brings understanding into the awareness-field of the Ego. So, Patience does become an essential Anthroposophical Virtue, along with: Goodwill, Sincerity, Fire & Enthusiasm. I often wait with baited breath for the seminally new to occur. This year has been like that. Patience must be its virtue. Sun in Scorpio.
