Wellspring: The joy we share

The joy we share

My 76-year-old self and my 12-year-old self
have decided to come together in this guy.

"And the joy we share
as we tarry there
none other has ever known"

Our motto is "From Strength to Strength"

Albion:

May wisdom shine through me

May love radiate from me

May strength course through me

That in me may arise

A helper of humankind

A consecrated servant

Selfless and true

— Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner: "For when a man is face to face with the Spirit of his own Youth — and such a thing is always possible — then he gives something of his riper understanding to the childlike ideas of the Spirit of his Youth, and at the same time the Spirit of his Youth gives something of his freshness, his childlikeness, to what the man of older years possesses."

"If one observes how karma works itself out, it may be said from the human side that this living out of karma can only be described as a kind of hunger and its satisfaction." — Rudolf Steiner

Parsifal:

May God's protecting, blessing ray

Fill my growing soul,

That it may lay hold of

Strengthening forces everywhere.

My soul shall vow

To awaken to full life in itself

The power of Love,

And thus see God's strength

On its life's path,

And act in accordance with God

With all that it has.

— Rudolf Steiner

Martyrion:

I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

— Galatians 2:19-21

"ES IST ICH"

Rudolf Steiner: "In older languages the self was not specifically designated, for it was contained within the verb. The ‘I’ was not directly mentioned. The verb was used to show what one was doing, and this was what indicated that one was speaking about oneself. There was no name for the self. It only came about in later times that the human being gave his self a name, and in our German language that name [ich] contains the initials of Jesus Christ, which is an important symbolic fact." [Iesus CHristus: ICH]
