Mot du S�cr�taire g�n�ral
- Arie van Ameringen
...Au congr�s d'Ekaterinbourg, j'ai fait une pr�sentation portant sur la formation d'une communaut� spirituelle : l� o� le temps et l'espace se rencontrent. (Building a Spiritual Community: Where Time and Space meet) Je vous fais part de quelques points que j'ai abord�s. Le sujet est une recherche en cours et sera �ventuellement d�velopp� dans un autre cadre.
Lors de ce congr�s des aspects ont �t� pr�sent�s sur l'�tre humain en lien avec : Qui suis-je? O� suis-je ? en r�f�rence � l'endroit o�j'habite. De plus, � chaque �poque, les t�ches sont diff�rentes pour l'�tre humain. � l'�poque de l'�me de conscience, la conscience du ''je'' est plus forte, les formes issues des traditions doivent �tre transform�es par l'activit� du ''je''. On parle aussi de l'homme comme un �tre spirituel. La science moderne a oubli� l'origine spirituelle de l'�tre humain. L'anthroposophie, par ailleurs, peut nous amener � mieux comprendre l'�tre humain comme �tre spirituel. C'est le � je � qui souffre et cr�e le Karma...Lisez plus

Letter from the General Secretary
 | | St. Petersburg Eurythmy Troupe |
- Arie van Ameringen ... During the Ekaterinburg conference I gave a presentation entitled Building a Spiritual Community: Where Time and Space meet. Here are some of the points I touched on in my talk. (This research is ongoing and I shall develop it further on another occasion.) During this conference the various aspects of the human being were explored in in the context of the question: how is who I am affected by the place I live and the time in which I live? Indeed, for each epoch human tasks are different. In this time of the consciousness soul the human "I" has taken on new strength and the forms long established by tradition must be transformed by the activity of the "I". Modern science has forgotten the human being's spiritual origin, and anthroposophy seeks to lead us to understand just this, that the human being is a spiritual entity. It is the "I" that creates its own karma through its suffering....Read full article, which includes Council Updates

I on the Threshold: Beware! Naming a conference theme!
It will manifest!
- Regine Kurek and Dorothy Lebaron ...Our theme this year was the Foundation Stone Meditation (FSM) and its central relevance to our work. During the three and a half days of the main conference, we broke into smaller groups and found different ways towards new meaning in our relationship to this central meditation. For biographers, what stands out is: ♦ the three fold call to the human soul, ♦ the three twenty-one year cycles of developing body-soul-spirit, and ♦ the fourth part with its awakening to the WE, to our humanity. Read full article. NOTE: Dorothy recommends the Morning Call Project website, which gives a good overview of Leah Walker's biography work.

Widar and the Glory of Christ
 - James Gillen When we regard the nature of any spiritual being whom we sense plays a role in our spiritual history and evolution, we should be able to find evidence of this being through observing differentiations in those processes which our living thinking and selfrecognition share with such spiritual history and evolution. We can then progress from reflections in the wake of being, to the presence of being, to the being itself. By so fathoming the depths of Widar, we may come to perceive him as a spiritual being who supports us as the bearer of a transformation process in accord with worldbecoming - when this process itself becomes revealed in us through selfobservant listening to the creative immanence of our youthful wholeness, and then, unveiled, is gradually integrated into union with the Glory which is Spirit (2 Cor 3:18)...
