The themes of patience, slowing down, and concentration seem to continue. Concentration on what we want to create and discerning what to compost in our inner garden to make space for new doors to open. Concentration on gratitude, devotion, and the sweetness of each moment. Similar to having an exercise routine, when you are doing it consistently it feels easy to do. In the beginning the effort seems a lot more, it becomes easier as we continue practicing. Through daily practice in shifting our perspectives and focus, we shift our baseline to a new way of being. Gratitude as our attitude

Rudolph Steiner shares an interesting perspective on what it means to be free. He shares that we can never truly be free to the degree we are simply carrying out a habit or something we have deemed to be morally “good” In this case we are generally moving towards perceived pleasure and away from perceived pain. Or doing a task under the moral doctrine that it is “for the service of humanity.” In both cases we are operating under a code or program. These can arise from both our animal instincts, societal standards, or simply past actions. This is not to say these programs may not be useful in supporting us. Especially if we are aware of their nature and origin. He then shares that freedom comes from actions in which the motive comes from within. In the form of an intuition, that we then weigh through consideration before acting upon. In this way are moving from our center instead of towards something outside of ourself. Our moral action, instead of a principle of operating, becomes a deed that is fueled by love that emerges from an inner knowing. Thus to carry out this labor of love is fulfilling in itself. It can involve serious effort to develop this means of freedom. Luckily there are many tools available to us that help us to align with our center. Ranging from biogeometry, sound therapy, nutritional/lifestyle protocols, myofascia release, and more. I’d love to hear your perspectives on this philosophy.
