Living Loose- 21st January 2024

Luciano Balduino

A contracted etheric body will directly affect the movement of the skeletal and muscular system in one’s body, for it is our etheric vitality that feeds the limbs and organs, and circulates within, similarly to our bloods - yet pulsing and radiating quite differently also.

And this is neither food nor energy, but rather a pure vitality that is required to sustain longevity.

What is the difference? Energy: energetic activity, combustion, or decomposition, can occur within its own sphere – within its own permit, and does not exceed itself. Vitality however, increases - gathering its properties from places without – related, yes, but same, no. This is a distinct and important difference, because one may be mistaken for another.

The activity of energy can for time be used as a physical reserve, and to all appearance, the body is working well, and yet if the vitality is low (there will always be some present) it is not obvious until you can observe the flow of the movement, and whether or not it is elegant or has become rigid, stilted, stiff, and so on.

Tai chi, Eurythmy, Yoga, dance - these activities draw into the body that much needed vitality that is etherically and astrally fruitful.

If one is confined to bed a living rigor mortis can rapidly set in. Vitality by association can be exceedingly helpful i.e. remedial massage in a rhythmic manner, and moving water (as a little fountain) placed in the room will draw some vitality into the atmosphere. For it is knitted and rhythmic movement that helps the body to bring to itself the vitality required in order to resist the affluence of the life-force all about them and the deterioration that would follow.

One can live for some time with low vitality, but not live well, and by appearance body is functioning – which is how it is naturally as it ages, for the adult human body is not as adaptable as one might hope.

As the inner life has changed throughout time, the human body, when compared to all other species, is the least adaptable to change and to aging.

This is speaking of its self – worn, worn down and yet adorned with the Christos. The spirit of Man, the soul of Man, and all of the higher aspects and associated helpers are all stronger, more resilient, more vividly living in each of the realms - although sadly it is more or less the physical body itself that strains and struggles throughout the combined experience.

The overlay of etheric vitality renews sinews and circulation, and re-establishes the connections of the incarnating spirit to the flesh.

Some, most, particularly in later age, become dislodged from their body – walking beside it as it were – whereas this practice will lead to the stiffness of joints, as described earlier.

Walking? Yes – it may coax some vitality, especially if the mind is calm, and not caught in a fury of worry or hurry.

This is more about finding our own inner ballet – and it is not necessary that you recite any movements learned – flowing elegant movements can be intuited and performed privately, and their cosmic beneficence can be experienced immediately with a lightness, a connectivity, a smiling … as you are pushing into the ethers and drawing back - working on your actions becoming fluidic once more, with a gentleness that is slowed and delicate – you can find them yourself, and the work of the imagination in this process will further add to the infilling conjunctions, drawing vitality back into matter, renewing your body, your mind, and your life.

The Power of Blessing-14th January 2024

The earliest of songs, of chants, of morning calls upon this earth were, and are, that of incarnation - of the blessing of the divine outpouring making manifest, and the sanctifying of the spaces surrounding … of the spirit extending its reach. All species of the realm pour forth.

And it is the very first sounds of the day (or first words spoken) that are the most potent. The draw-down from the heavenly spheres is released as a blessing into the physical world enabling a thriving for the depleted from the day before.

And it is that various cyclic energies ebb and flow - however those that truly sustain and maintain the world and its occupants do so within the outpouring of the morning.

The birdcall effectively feeds the ethers and beings; not only of the physical environment, but also the spiritual beings as well.

This encapsulates the profound blessing given out by our own daily activity here in the World - particular and quite extraordinary - and there is controversy also!

For those who go to the silence with wholehearted and sincere prayer, into that space where healing may be curated: we say yea, this is quite fine and purposeful and so forth - and there is a measure of activity within the silence to be found.

Yet add to this the spoken word or sound or movement (of beads perhaps and even) and the accompanied activity then incarnates the blessing into the world officially by its busyness and resonance (which can be further strengthened by repetition).

The spirit of cognition needs to abrase and excite and inflame and ignite and thereafter combine within and into the mix here and hereafter.

There is such connectivity all about us - life itself is this process of energetic transference.

Orthodox Christmas- 7th January 2024

In very ancient times it was once thought that an effigy in pure gold could come to life, and all manner of creations were forged, molded and sculptured in this shining yellow metal with the firm belief, and often realised, that the inanimate could become so imbued - and alike to Pinocchio, would be given not only flesh, but soul.

And when the world was more malleable than it is now, this was not distinct from possibility - even creations in stone would animate - although their natures may have been more akin to the trolls than the gods.

And this is where the original effigies began - characterisations were cast both small and large of spiritual beings as portals to the divine, that were not only representative, but a conduit to that figure of worship, be it of nature or of divinity.

What is now our Holy Communion was but a revolutionary change in a similar practice. However in this instance Christ Himself instructed:

You will find me in the wine,

you will find me in the vine,

you will find me in the bread

and in the grain field there stand I.

You need not make an image of me

for I shall live in you,

You need not make a duplicate

to live outside of yourself

for although we may hold hands

and walk together

I am in every living being.

Needless to say the statues became redundant with the appearance of our Lord; although in whimsy, or beauty, or artefact, creative moldings and designs would and could still encourage the nature spirits, the elemental beings, the fairies etc.

Yet they would not come alive, and were now simply as a doorway through to the imagination and beyond, connecting to beauty and other realms as well.

Yet these statues themselves were nothing but representations, whereas the living Christ reanimated us: the human being connecting through Him in us to a much higher and substantial reality.

Through Him we become reinvented, revivified, and so lively in spirit that our soul is connected to each brother and sister in nature, in kind, in love for this World that is His.

The Degeneration of People & the Animal Body Taking Charge- New Year's Eve, 2023

Wolfgang Grasse

We give over to the animal body and vacate its welcoming nightly when we sleep; our consciousness moves on and out, and into the high realms. The peregrinations of nightly journeying replenish the soul in its spiritual health and take back into the body much needed forces.

Simply put, not only can our mind wander momentarily or for lengthy periods, but it literally vacates nightly when we sleep. The consciousness has wandered even though the receiving brain within indwells and remains to remember, react, and so forth.

Throughout the day our consciousness ever so lightly touches the filament of the brain, attracting the highest of thoughts and emotions and compilations - interpreting memories that are latent, now fixed to the body itself with an astral adhesion and a physical tangible imprint as well.

The consciousness may whisper, or have flashes of insight - and layered upon that which is incoming are the intuitive directions and suggestions from the over-arching Angel that walks beside us.

The human being is verily a synthesis of many, even without the examining of the minute host incorporated within the physical body itself and the ancillary beings who are drawn to oneself in thought and by action, as elemental creatures do well.

Added to this we have ever present upon ourselves connections to those who we formerly knew who have now left, departed for permanent residence within the spiritual realms. The connections still remain and these connections are lively and through them there is a quiet communication whereupon soul to soul things are known, and this is also how talents maybe transported one to one another.

And so it is that those who remain living their lives in the world now have a truly an open source to knowledge that has been worked for and gained in practice by effort, and the living may further these advantages adopting them for themselves.

Nothing is fixed - mindlessness can be sublime or it can be repugnant - there are conditions that push the consciousness away from the physical mind, and all manner of deleterious events may follow. In this the human being may not present as they should: meaning to say that a man who has been damaged or made witless with little or no consciousness indwelling, easily falls to aggression and by appearances resembles little of the human spirit we love the most.

For some the living consciousness has vacated completely - that which is attuned to the soul and the Angel has withdrawn and what remains is a but a living facsimile.

Ever so lightly our spiritual minds come in and go out, and this is a blessing, for the motion of retrieving wisdoms and resonance from the heavenly forces steeps the physical mind with a certain enlightened aspect. If a clairvoyant were to view this process they would perceive it to be a beautiful sight.

Daily prayer and readings of inspiration strengthen the individual remarkably - whereupon one might imagine that adopting thoughts that draw one into the spiritual realm could have the opposite effect, in that you are coming away and out from your body in doing so, yet this is not the case.

For as much as the thoughts go out, they also return back in. And the relationship between the spiritual mind and body is reinforced time and time again; and equal to this is the driving will of the Human being that is also exercised in this practice now becoming stronger in the control of its beloved body, which is helpful for all practical things as well as divine.

The times we are heading into will challenge all of the realms with tension and change - but generally also a loosening will take place throughout.

Not only a new year but a new age is arriving.

The collective mind of Humanity is gathering to itself a comprehension of Christ.

Christ the Diving Being is personal to us and Christ the Diving Being is also far reaching, calling to those souls whose connections have been lost, broken, impious, devastated by corrupting sin, diminished by dark desire, thwarted through prior hardship, incensed with false beguiling measure, misplaced ambition or fallen to the promises of the devil.

The collective of Humanity is in great need of repair and healing, and the ages to follow are replete: the spiritual worlds have gathered, and goodness about abounds, with nothing to be afeared.

Hark the Herald Angels sing! In the quiet we may hear them reveal the ages that are upon us now with their blazing brilliant lights, with their mercy and moreover the greatest of humour - for these times will not be without convivial play, and delight, and charming perspect.

Everything will be enhanced, and for a time the darkness shall become deeper, yet so the Everlasting winks with the foreknowledge that only love is complete.

And this will be the age of a falling away with then the loveliest of revelations yet to come!
