Dear friends, It's been a while! I've just got back from visiting my family and friends in my homeland (in Western Victoria, Australia) and I'm looking forward to re-enlivening this group. I actually left my mobile phone on the plane from London to Singapore...so I spent several weeks phone free. A welcome break from technology! In the coming weeks I'll be offering various options for trainings and courses to help apply spiritual science to our daily lives. Whether that be: - knowing where to start with Steiner's work (it can be overwhelming) - strengthening or beginning your spiritual practice (starting is the hardest part) - deepening your understanding of anthroposophy - applying this understanding every day life Warm wishes Mick PS. Please let me know in the comments below what area of spirituality and anthroposophy you're most interested in,. Thank you!

"We look back upon our whole soul, upon our ego itself, as upon something which has to be laid aside, when we want to enter the supersensible world. The soul, however, cannot but consider this ego as its real being until it enters the supersensible worlds. The soul must consider it as the true human being, and must say to itself: “Through this, my ego, I have to form ideas of the world. I must not lose this ego of mine if I do not want to give myself up as a being altogether.' There is in the soul the strongest inclination to guard the ego at all points in order not to lose one's foothold absolutely. What the soul thus feels of necessity to be right in ordinary life, it must no longer feel when it enters supersensible surroundings. It has there to cross a threshold, where it must leave behind not only this or that precious possession, but that very being which it has hitherto believed itself to be. The soul must be able to say to itself: “That which until now has seemed to me to be my surest truth, I must now, on the other side of the threshold of the supersensible world, be able to consider as my deepest error.” Quote from "A Road to Self-Knowledge" by Rudolf Steiner GA 16 Art by Chris Hill "Over the Marsh"
