Returning to the Garden- 31st August 1998

PERIODS of evolutionary characteristics are frequently recycled with habitual enterprise. As some recede, so it is that others are recalled, each with their varying additions to the former age they echo, but all needing a founding reminiscence to seed their era begun.


Eden's time is still amongst us, and although we have been locked out from the garden, it is all the while about us, all the while presently here, for the original Paradise has not left humanity, but remains this World's etheric world.


The 'dust' which we were born from and shall return to, explains the condition of physical substance at present, being so removed from the etheric which goes on to enliven and animate it. Without the Tree of Life there is no life, and although we cannot at this time perceive His radiant world which shoulders ours, it is nonetheless, that which sustains us, being but the true realm in which the physical rests and cleaves.

However, the question is: Was there destined to be this ordinary separation as did follow? Why did Man lose his clairvoyant perception that showed him the beauties and the wisdoms of this sunlit place? Why was he forced out from the timeless Paradise into pain and corruption, where bodily death and deviation and all manner of stupidities would prevail so? Was this factored in our development and intrinsic to Christ's own Mind?


The first principle here to consider, is that it is not within the nature of higher and divine beings to contradict themselves. Christ would no more welcome suffering into His Humanity and gamble on the subsequent 'fall out' from Paradise, than He would place development before Love.

Gravely, one should ask of the notion of development and evolution that we hold to and wonder what exactly are we working for? Man's objective had to be realized firstly within the imaginative powers of Our Creator and held there in relation to his becoming. Bizarre though it be to us, the period in between Eternity's realizations is of little consequence to the 'big, BIG picture'.


When we return to our Father God, in witness to Him, for revivification, in episode of withdrawal (during sleep, during blink, during referral in prayer and with arterial deciding, during death), when we return to our Father we are there and then quite perfect in all that we are. Eternity is not open-ended, it just is. That portion of Man which is godly is godly throughout, without cessation, true to its causation, and responsive in splendid repose by His Grace. It is this which entitles men to dream and imagine themselves nobly, more than outwardly ever appears reasonable. It is this that brings forth the very best and gracious loves, enstrengthened with a purpose that knows that all is achievable in time. 

Our consciousnesses extract much that they need, meeting the world and the fellows within it from a perspective of pressure. Pressure is all about us, because although the organs coincide and cooperate, they do so within our systems to the tune of a regulated series of pressures. Our atmospheric conditions are similar, right up to the clouds of whose weight above our heads we are unconsciously quite aware of. The physical world in its compactiveness, and in its current relationship to the etheric world, feels and is this pressure. Death can be perceived as a cessation of pressure - the vitalities no longer flow within, there is no surface tension, no systolic or diastolic reckoning, no vortex of movement ensuing; only the vacuumous action of sensorial withdrawal.


Now the sensing of such pressure by the consciousness commits it to believe that pain is ever possible. It is of course, only a nerve ending away. It is there in the astral, known to us already. As regards the spiritual pain of humankind, of our hierarchies, of our related kingdoms, of our angelic sympathizers, of our recently departed and of our Christ - this pain is known to us also. What of the pain of past recall, the countless deaths we personally have come to, and the losses of many beloved also? Yes, pressure to the point of pain, and reminiscence of pain is ever before us.

This is what it meant predominantly for Man to have fallen as he did from the arms of Paradise. She still cradles the fearful infant, but he is very much 'naked' now to a pain and tenderness that did not happen before the astrality gave him the starry nerves he now wears on his outer membranes. Nor had he the degree of consciousness that it does provide; and this was the gift of compensation to come to him.


For all difficulties there are compensatory joys bestowed. This provision assures futures; and if you consider it momentarily, you can see how exactly this principle underpins evolution itself - evolution growing out from a series of difficulties and joys, of wins which prevail, of life which not only continues but improves. Without this principle much, most or all, would have ended in defeat. One winter, one malformed sprout, one opportunistic swarm, could bring extinction to every expression of life there is, so quickly! Would that cells choose this way other than that ... but yea! it is put to good use, and a joy arrives right out of that preposterous turning, and we call it adaptation, evolvement, coercion, when creativity bounds out of the past, wildly trying its own version, putting pressures into places they have never been before!


Plan or provision? Plan or compensation known and given? Here is a thought: death and its pains and pressures, is not known in the spiritual worlds. Before Christ wrestled Death, before He assumed the physical form and met its endings, and felt its tightness, drew its weight, knew the consumed nature of all desires and their sweet answerings, bruised, swelled and bled ... until our Christ manfully felt these things, there had not been a spiritual entity who knew what Mankind had become endured to.


Beings who live at the perimeters of this world can sense well enough the emanations, be them blessed or of hate. They can hear the words both whispered and cried, and they can see into places both vast and detailed; but they cannot comprehend the pain and pressure known to Man in the physical existence.

So in this Fall we distanced ourselves from many spiritual entities, who now do not share our experience (and nor would they choose to). As spirits we had everything! Each soul had its twin and could know love therein. As cosmic beings we were so well qualified, because we were endowed with key substances belonging to realms throughout - our passports gave us freedoms which many, many entities had not. As part of Christ's ensemble we had virtue and beyond that, key qualities of exultation - we had laughter! True merriment still fazes our invisible onlookers at times; and at others, they share in it (except for the demons who, if they ever had laughter, have forgotten all but the mocking variety). Yes, as men we were blessed, and remain so, irregardless of death.


Was this of our own making? Could Mankind be blamed for the nerve-racked embattled condition of the organic whole? As we see it, the problems began at the first when Man became exterialized rationally. Hitherto he had been able to purport himself with imaginative projections and powerfully emanate at will what he should choose to create - of this he was capable and coherent. Preceding the Fall, when Man emptied out of himself, there was an exposure and freedom given to the various aspects he contained. Painfully these aspects still held to a correspondence with him, and also had keys to his own nature. But also, by the freeing up of these now manifesting attributes, he gave license to them to perpetuate on in ways which were to become much remorse.

You see, the Serpent which became snake, was of Man and of Man's past, of his making. The Serpent was given a freedom of expression, which then double-backed upon Man. It had to be so. Worse than that there were other beings who sought out the fostering of each and every species, that they could sidle up and then combine with the forthcoming heritage of Humankind. These beings could entertain themselves in the associated realms of thought, origin and corresponding organ, infiltrating Man, infecting his futures all the more.


This saga is not hopeless, but it is painful. Just how painful is little known, save by men and by Christ. This subject touches on the deepest roots of the fundamental maladies about; however, as remedy to this we prefer to contemplate The Incarnation and the changes which occurred upon this Globe since that event.

Pray zealously for Christ's wellbeing - who else could have labored so and manufactured our retrieval? And when, for a time, the pressures have eased and you feel your own life returning in the warmth, in the brightest of days, in the voracity of nature, and in kind, know that true Paradise hearkens, and is never ever very far away!

Ability to Tolerate Substance- August 29th 1998

[Reply to question on the above]

YES, this is so - one dark consequence of drawing in vapor which the ego (when so open) finds difficulty tolerating, will be a further and heightened intolerance thereafter - the legacy being known as an allergy.

Not all individuals respond similarly: it is an interesting point that what may have been even a harmless nutritive to one, can transform overnight into something taken for a poison subsequently. This proves somewhat the importance of our relationship to all else, requiring a certain stronghold and endurance from our own incorporations firstly; something which over time is gathered and guaranteed, not by using purely physical means, but rather by the employment of virtues.

If a man or a demon is opportunistic enough to work with the intention of approaching another in such periods which he is weakened, opened and susceptible to overwhelming influences, then it happens that in the short term the man concerned may be afflicted with their presence and overcome by their will to the degree of losing their own mind's deciding.

A man does not have to incorporate intentional breathing exercises that he relaxes the elasticity responsively in lung cavity or in that of his auric shell; or inflates his astral sensitivities or lends his conceptualization to the outer imaginings; or gives over his arterial holdings; or pick-axes his own border-walls of resistance; or prematurely exposes his ego - no, there are many ways of having this effected, and many more in which another human being or demon being may take advantage. However, just as with the physical proximity's reaction, we shall also in time find that by Grace a man will become 'allergic' as well to the very demon or predator who has tried to take advantage of him thus.

The demon who has insisted that a man take up a weapon and murder, for example, will be loathsome and haunting upon his return, ever frightening to the same man, who has now petitioned his senses to lock down against it. He will tremble all life thereafter, as it presents itself to him. The same demon shall be mistaken by him for the Angel of Conscience - so wretchedly confused is the man who flies from that which, by original weakness, he first did invite to him.

The process of the physical response may begin with the ego being susceptible to the signatory substance or its characteristics whilst being overtly 'open'. However and having said that, long after the ego's fissures have tightened there will be a response of alarm in the corresponding astral nerves, distinguishing it even through times of relative inexposure.

Of course, initially the substance of itself need not be even physically offensive, but moreover it is its associative qualities (planetary, spiritual origin etc.), which at certain times gather certain strengths, and we may react against for many reasons accordingly. The result is that of a poison being regarded by the individual for whom either a tolerance must be acquired, or an ensuing corruption will take place in the condition of alarm, astrally, etherically and physically. The vitalities leak and the mainframe loses its overall magnetism, the cohesive properties of form are given to alter and the cellular structures erode; the etheric life is no longer drawn in and bonded with sufficiently, and the physical body shrinks, weeps, cracks and groans under the assault of the said and recognized 'poisons'.

In homeopathic reform, it is not only that the reintroduction to certain substance (or moreover, their etheric properties in pure goodness) is given, but also that the assimilation of that substance is given into water, that issues the medicinal difference. Water is the Heavenly Ego manifest, and it is the Heavenly Ego that negotiates and contains all other egos within, that we can come together and mix and mingle as we do in a landscape of differing yet corresponding being. It is because of our combining affiliate with our all-encompassing Heavenly Ego that we do not simply repel each other out into the reaches of an infinite distance; and because of this egoic binding, influences may harmonize, some amongst may gratify, and the lives of all do obey the greater laws.

Sadly though, our physical properties are as yet not so refined as to be able to immediately give over to the greater realities from which they were born of; and so it is that poisons do corrupt quite generally whether slow in action or apparent. Both willful people and invasive substance can wear at the physicality of one to whom these poisons terrorize.

It can be said here also that such weakness or susceptibility is not shameful in regards to one's own position in development. Overall the only answer for humankind in strengthening their bodies throughout, as well as their egoic flexes within is, as maintained before, won only by the path of virtue. This needs be achieved collectively else innocent souls will continue to be born into bodies and conditions which are remiss.

Quite often it is today, that there are no defined qualifications given to individuals at the outset; and saintly souls who are even yet more sensitive to the collective sadness and weaknesses of the whole, are the first to be given the outcomes of sickly complaints.

So it is that we cannot look to this one and that and consider ourselves capably diagnostic enough to fully comprehend the true causes of each physical complaint as it presents in the obvious. For every apparent manifestation of something, the exact opposite may be its cause also. This is a both a useful tool as well as exercise to remember when we are assuming or assessing the outer characteristics of another.

Intuitively it may well be possible though, to divine some of our own causes (and there we are permitted lawfully to examine upon our own consent!) and then with an optimism for cure, set about to:

1. Effect a healing within ourselves which will hold good for the whole else of our brothers as well.
2. Love more, laugh more, and above all do not intend again to afflict our own natures, if they be as poison, where they are not wanted or called for.
3. Strengthen selfhood - with arterial responsibility, with a self-consciousness that wakefully defines what it is that is desirable, workable and wanted, and refuse outright that which the Arterial Self cannot tolerate.
   

Prayer of Table Grace:

That which we take unto ourselves,
For ourselves,
That which does sustain us,
May it be filled with the Fire of the Twelve,
And so divinely imbued,
That we may tolerate Life,

And Life may tolerate us.

Amen

Note: Regards breathing exercises for asthmartyrs -

If the lessening of breathing is self-employed as a corrective to the condition of over-breathing, then it also follows in relation to the ego activity of that organ that the individual thereby will be practicing self-consciously an affirmation of self-containment. By exercising one's self-containment you may strengthen your overall resistance and ability to discriminate; and the attitude described in the physical practices will carry on through to attitudinal habits then conducted in the psyche also.

However, all good practices can exceed the point of their usefulness and this too is to be reckoned with. A man can breathe too little and be weakened by an inactivity. A medicine may become a poison if taken when no longer required and therefore is refused by the organism (and later to become an allergen if the man persists with it).

Like so, if a man who does not over-breathe is taught a technique of intentionally lessening his uptake to suit other purposes indicated but not defined by the condition, then we advise that this point of the exercise may prove counter-productive and confusing to the issue of causality and management.

Rather than by measuring the volume or omissions of the man to gauge the condition of over-breathing, we suggest that he be asked to know this for himself, that he may also then go on to discriminate other times too when the discipline should be effected as well.

 

Divisioning of the Sexes & the Serpent's Way- 27th August 1998

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

- Genesis 2:7

HERE we are told that this was the first point that Man began to know as a living soul, our own being and our Creator. Our very first breath in through our nostrils and into our lungs was that of the very breath of Father God, and life came to us because of it. So upon our first breath into our lungs, our organs of discernment, there came knowledge of Him and of subsequent life. This concept is worth repeating because it gives us the picture of a man who has the knowledge of God instilled within him.

In the perigee of Genesis we are given the distinct phases of our earthly garb described, beginning with the externalization of Man. Common to all cosmic activity there are episodes in time when things empty out of themselves and spill their many characteristics all about, often creating further exterialized worlds which later in time will go on to unfold a'further.

There is no end to the magnitude or its assembled parts! Life can be fractioned and yet determined to such cohesiveness that it simply reforms more wondrously ever into yet more detailed life in constant multiplication. Love is boundless, Eternity ceaseless, and so fundamentally, there are enough materials imaginable for any number of worlds to be in flux and flow.

Now Man in his spiritual being contained (and still contains) it all - everything - the keys to the kingdoms, in substance, in kind, in Godliness, in sublimnity. Accrued along the way he has also preferred to exaggerate certain characteristic developments, which at the sojourn of the previous semester he was encouraged to slough off.

In a manner similar to emptying one's pockets in order to view the contents you've been cherishing, Man was organized into naming the living creatures which were to populate the world. Alike to the grit worn off the edge of a great sea shell, the lesser kingdoms came into being out from Man himself; for Man and by Father God, our inner inhabitants were given form, and we in part were released of them.

The angels however, were not clothed as individual spirits (for this is not in their nature - angels 'bond' whereas creative spirits 'split'). This is because they, or the angels, do not share in the ego of Man but rather are given to the presence as inspired to them secondhand, so to speak. The varying elements were to serve us and their respective environments - without physical substance either.

Adam 'named' the world - out from his own lungs expelled the breath to form the name of each and every inhabitant of field and air; said sacred name, that perfect utterance - the expression of being known - all the natures of beast (then gentle) being from the one nature, one God, one Man.

Then and there life could have meant a self-fulfillment in its loneliest aspect, for the world, as manifold as it was, was self-contained, coordinated and perfectly sterile. The natures did not harmonize (this is why they could be fractioned off in the first place) and had no means to communicate amongst themselves. It was a knowledge plain and apparent that could sequent the World - but not love.

Now not only do the masculine and feminine principles preside throughout very nearly all cosmic activity (in one form or another), but also do the active principles of duality and combining perpetuate life in the highest of spiritual spheres. In plain speak, in their own way the gods 'make love' - not by orgy, but with dual combining. When they do our seas swell, rains fall, the ethers are replete once more, the coals that fire the Sun are stoked, and Cupid smiles at the explosion of yet another Big Bang theory.

Yes it is that the higher gods themselves combine most naturally and thus it was that Man too was then given the means to truly come to another in ways that involved love both into himself, his partner and into the world at large. This love differed from that which is generated through compassionate empathy or later, sympathy, for it encompassed the same benevolence one knows from the nurturing nature of our Creator - alongside the creativity given of to two equals in spirit, engendering the activities of same higher conducive forces.

The 'act' created a spiritual dynamic whereupon Heaven and Earth could be truly married. The loving coupling of two people does in turn have its effect giving back to the higher gods who first inspired it: they know of its human occurrence and return their affections spiritually upon this world. They have no part in the provocation of human interaction; just simply respond in the purity of the expression.

So the paradox was that the oneness of flesh created by two, synergized the highest of influences which not only brought men life into the immediate but also the gifts of renewal and further propagation to the planet as a whole. And this was unashamedly splendid.

When we are loved we are ennobled. As a child with the love and adoration of the parent we grow to be ennobled in our being throughout, impressioned by that deep caring so known. When an animal cares for its young there is such an ennoblement within the species, within the unit and the pack; although instinctive. Such instinctive love is also known to Man, where in most instances there becomes an unconditional sacrifice of self for the child, and in both instances there is such a warmth and divine purpose amongst the incorporated family which could not have been comprehended or experienced within the 'self-contained' and sexless world.

We can add to this in examination of the developing ego. Yet again, same paradox, different name, that alongside the growing being who is aspiring towards a greater selfhood as he acquires that sense of ego and of who he is, there is also the greater capacity to love and to choose this love (not by impulse or instinct alone); and to give of himself decidedly and fruitfully.

Now in the instance of both varieties of loving we have mentioned, there is an expression, a working, a giving, a caring-for - intentions to provide for another before one's own needs or wants. This is not implied that the entire day and night be filled so consumedly, but that within the sphere of activity between any two given souls there is a love known for the other that exceeds the love of their self. Not only is Christ apparent at such a conjoining, but also His Love for both as is then known.

It is by Christ we have been afforded our egos such as they are, it is by Christ's merit indeed that we have come to distinguish ourselves and grow to love more perfectly. All of this is good. Neither is it to the discredit of the parental love offered and shared, for when we depart of this love to embrace another who is not of our family but rather of our own choosing, beyond the obligation and instinct, this at the ego's best is unashamedly most splendid.

There are two minor gods, Lucifer and Satan often spoken of, quizzically, characteristically ... and the one thing which these two fellows share commonly is that their love is only of an ambitious variety - it is a hungry love, which is both consuming and lonely. For neither have the impulse to coupling, and neither understand the wherewithal to love greatly enough despite of themselves.

They are as collectors who choose to make great private acquisitions. They are both proud in these adorations, narcissistic and aggressive, they display no capacity to step outside of their own known realm and learn of another, let alone sacrifice for one either.

The reason why both Satan and Lucifer may work their way into a man - within his soul-life, affecting his astrality and his composure - is that there are ancient times within our beings which correspond to these gods of isolation. Before we demonstrated our divisionings we too were aloof from the spiritual splendor of a single other. We could always comprehend the greater Powers, we knew of the radiant, vibrant path to Father God from almost any station within our starry trek, yet we did not have company cared-for to detail, we did not 'chum up' or relate one to another importantly. And this is not to maintain universality versus some kind of sentimentality, but rather here to explain that in all things we are as 'inside out' and that the path to the macrocosm of greater thought and virtue is gated right there at the heart of our fellow brothers and sisters. From knowing one man well we may come to learn also of our selves, moreso than any mirror or self-judgment could ever arrive at for us.

The Serpent is the collective host, coming from that former era within humanity when that reptilian coldness prevailed. As said before, all creatures assuredly came out from both God and Man, and this specter of the past came from a time which simply did not understand the warmth of selfless love. This is indeed the great parable of virtue. If one gives virtue they become as powerful with it, yet if they take it to keep and use it not, then it is as death to the soul.

Satan and Lucifer both urge Man to take the fruits and become as gods, knowing both good and evil in this way; and with an independent enterprise, entered into the bodily transactions, now exploited by the hungering gods. Flesh and function were given instantly to corruption. What could have been an immortal coil, became instead a collection of compliant components each with their 'air' of isolation also. Christ adheres them together, this is also true, however, since the Fall of Mankind we have suffered a derision of virtues working within.

The Serpent came to man through woman because it is from the woman that the old forces flow. The futures stream in through men forging the world's imaginings and makings; whilst the women make this possible in that they hold the powers from the past in containment. Man himself cannot let loose of that cord which connects him to his origins, and so he secures himself within the woman that he might still hold to Father God, yet advance forward also.

*****

From the Gospel of Philip:

"Whereas in this world the union is one of husband with wife... in the aeon the form of the union is different. [This is possible because] Christos came to repair the separation which was from the beginning, and unite again the two, and give life to those who died as a result of the separation. "

Breathing Exercises & Odor Exposure- 27th August 1998

.... in relation to the ego and its tolerance

IF one is to practice breathing exercises for spiritual purposes we offer here the thought that the quality of the experience very much can depend upon what exactly it is that your cavities are ushering in at the time of the exercise. Is the air before you permeate or saturate with fragrance or pollutant?

Every man is an incorporated being who exacts himself constantly in aspect, within the relays of a mutual concurrence; he finds out who he is in relation to all else about him. The properties known to him in breathing are not just simple chemistry combining and reacting. This processing of time via the organ of our own egos no less, is moreover an ability to sense and know the humidities and extrapolate with them.

As it is we come to experience much of the physical world in direct clarity, whilst in the same moment we are also met with the subtle influences whose interpretations can best be known to us by the lung. As the soul-forces (which are contained and carried in the fluids) expire into a scent, we may signify much of the being and properties through smelling them, rather than by any other means available to us.

Think therefore just how paramount it becomes to invite the desirable properties to us of that or whom we should really wish to mix and mingle with. The enhancement of a spiritual breathing program or the dereliction thereof, can be consequent to our beings consumption of the immediate ethers. Incense burners know of this - providing the quality of the material burned was pure and resinous (oily rather than dried).

If monks were to breathe, chant and pray in each other's company they would bathe first so as not to be disturbed by the odors given. Expelling intestinal gas is completely discouraged for more than the obvious reasons!

Best ever is the fresh flower which speaks to us truly of fields and light, warm earth and etheric bliss; of dewy-drenched mornings and shivery breezes; of the community of nature and the gods whose signature live amongst them - and finally of much also - the etheric vitality which enters and animates with wonderful vibrancy, both plant and man. What a mystery it is indeed that some flowers can make us awash with great favor just in the smelling; that their properties are delivered in pleasing and happy tones of fragrance. This method of concentrated breathing can be a working teacher! The virtues of the plant may be incorporated and the being then motivated so.

At the time of concerted exercise, driving our wills to direct the rhythm of our breathing -

• beware the artificial fragrance;
• beware the scent of animals and unscrupulous men, and fetid breath;
• old clothes which are impregnated;
• musty rooms;
• menstruating females;
• cooking smells (particularly where meats have been burned);
• avoid pungent or foul smelling plants, whilst all other smells which are repulsive to you.

After any given exercise do not go and immediately extinguish the candle flames for the vapors quite often will poison your past effort.

It is good to bear in mind that intentional breathing acts upon us in such a way that not only are we allowing ourselves to be susceptible to extraordinary influences about us by such practices, but also are we more exposed to whatever they may be at the same time. Given this, one can begin to realize the relationship between the 'fossicking' asthma sufferer (whose ego is already given to expensive inquiries) and subsequent difficulties within regulated breathing.

On the one hand, less volume decreases the personal subtle exchange. On the other, an intentional working of the lung whereby the consciousness drives its 'opening' forces into the makeover, means 'less' really can become more and the experience could wind up intolerable.

It is best however, to caution those that practice, as to the surrounding influences, and recommend that they find an oil (for example) that they can carry upon them; one that they are immediately happy with - (preferably a sage to a sweet for these determined purposes - however, if it is a sweet oil that calms the restlessness then in moderate dilution use gladly) and remind them also to be aware of other influencing odors that are around them.

When an infant slips and slides its way into life it is touched, then it breathes the world into it. Then it sucks its mother's loving presence and slowly comes to focus eyes which dance the shadow and the light, chasing the undeciphered forms and colors and sounds that then all follow. We greet much of the world and the adjoining worlds, by meeting in such close proximities that afford an intimate analysis - our relationship to our foods, our own properties of person (known likewise therefore in others about us also) our constant intermingling with the light and the dark, and our exchanges with the higher beings that enable us to come to experience and that Father God is before us. In all of our transactions we begin to exact the true self that we may be.

We come to this world:

• analytically - via the lungs

• creatively - via the reproductive organs

• passively - via the eyes and ears

• imaginatively - via the brain and pineal gland

• empathically & spiritually - via the heart

• actively & combustively - via the stomach

• decisively - via the muscle coordinates

• willingly - via the blood

• tolerably - via the bowel

• memorably - via the bone

• soulfully - via the bodily fluids

• virtuously - via the kidneys

• emmanatorily - via the fingertips

"Spiritual beings express their nature in colors, sounds, aromas and everything that the senses perceive, and they flow into us when we connect ourselves with sensations. The first Logos streams on as a directly perceptible aroma. A being of a higher or lower nature lives in every odor. Very high, god beings live in incense; they draw us up directly to God. The lowest kind of beings are incarnated in musk scent. People who know about such things use musk for sensual attraction."

-Rudolf Steiner
