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!

I wanted to give the titles of the two books by Sergei O. Prokofieff that relate to the Philosophy of Freedom as referred to in another post. The first one is from 2009 and published by Temple Lodge; Anthroposophy and the Philosophy of Freedom. This has two themes; Anthroposophy and its method of cognition and The Christological and Cosmic-Human Dimension of The Philosophy of Freedom. The Second one, also published by Temple Lodge, in 2011. The Guardian of the Threshold and the Philosophy of Freedom, with as second theme; On the relationship of the Philosophy of Freedom to the Fifth Gospel. Both books offer a wealth of background information, enlightening thoughts and observations and extensive reference notes. Have a good weekend, talk soon. Bastiaan.

For upcoming "controversial" topic

Wishing you all a Happy Easter. Some quality sunshine here in Ireland. I am reading Emil Bock today. All the best. Bastiaan.

Good morning, years ago I lived and worked in Camphill Beanachar in Aberdeen. At the garden gate was hanging a small picture with a verse, I would read it before entering the large walled garden through the cast iron gate. “ The kiss of the sun for pardon. The song of the birds for myrrh. One is nearer Gods heart in a garden. Than anywhere else on Earth. “ Have a wonderful Spring, greeting from sunny Ireland. Bastiaan.
