Battlefield Earth








Rudolf Steiner:  "Our Earth is a battlefield; it is the scene of two opposing powers: right and left. The one, the white power on the right, after the Earth has reached a certain degree of material, physical density, strives to spiritualize it once again. The other power, the left or black power, strives to make the Earth ever denser and denser, like the Moon. Thus, after a period of time, the Earth could become the physical expression for the good powers, or the physical expression for the evil. It becomes the physical expression for the good powers through man uniting himself with the spirits working for unification, in that he seeks the ego in the community. It belongs to the function of the Earth to differentiate itself physically to an ever greater degree. Now, it is possible for the separate parts to go their own way, for each part to form an ego. This is the black path. The white path is the one which strives for what is common, which forms an ego in community. Were we to burrow more and more deeply into ourselves, to sink ourselves into our own ego organization, to desire always more and more for ourselves, the final result would be that we should strive to separate ourselves from one another. If on the other hand we draw closer, so that a common spirit inspires us, so that a center is formed between us, in our midst, then we are drawn together, then we are united."

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."  — Matthew 11:28-30



And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  —Luke 9:23-24


"The degree to which the necessity for brotherliness is felt is the degree of our permeation by Christ."  ~ Rudolf Steiner

You—Love—and I—Love—and Love Divine:
We are the Trinity

You—Love—and I—We are One-Two-Three
Twining Eternally
Two—Yes—and One—Yes—and also Three:
One Dual Trinity
Radiant Calvary
Ultimate Mystery
