The White Magician consecrates his life to study, meditation, and service, that he may know the law and may direct force to its appointed ends. He molds himself into the plan, becoming part of the divine rhythm by sacrificing himself and his wishes to the will of the Infinite, asking only to know wherein his duty lies and how he may be of the greatest service to the greatest number.   – Manly P. Hall

 

May the events that seek me
Come unto me;
May I receive them
With a quiet mind
Through the Father’s ground of peace
On which we walk.

May the people who seek me
Come unto me;
May I receive them
With an understanding heart
Through the Christ’s stream of Love
In which we live.

May the spirits which seek me
Come unto me;
May I receive them
With a clear soul
Through the healing Spirit’s Light
By which we see.

"Most things don't matter and what people think matters the most, doesn't matter at all" - Daskalos 

 

We are firmly grounded in our understanding of things of the spirit only when we do not rest content with abstract spiritual concepts and a capacity to express them theoretically, but instead grow into a sure belief that higher beings are present with us in a community of spirit when we engage in spiritual study. 

-Rudolf Steiner, Awakening to Community

 

Spiritual knowledge is transmuted through its own nature into love… Wisdom is the necessary condition for love; love is the fruit of wisdom, reborn in the Ego.  (Steiner)

 

Everything ephemeral is just a parable   - Goethe

   

“Learn at first concentration without effort; transform work into play; make every yoke that you have accepted easy and every burden that you carry light!”

~ Valentin Tomberg, Meditations on the Tarot

 

The Mystery of the Abyss: 

The fact that what the human being creates is always ruthlessly destroyed again, raises his nature; for he must always build and create anew; and it is in this activity that our happiness lies; it lies in what we ourselves accomplish.   - RS

 

“Man, you are the concentrated image of the world. World, you are the being of man poured out in space.” - Rudolf Steiner
