Anthroposophy: Excelsior!

 

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance."
— Galatians 5:22-23

Rudolf Steiner:  "It is just the task of Anthroposophy to see to it that in the future one does not regress as one gets older."

O Flame, to Thee

I commit all that is mine on Earth,

that the Gods may receive it

when the smoke rises upward.

May that which is borne upward by the Flame

be changed into divine blessing

and pour down again upon Earth

as creative, fructifying power!

"The Reunion of the Soul and the Body" by William Blake

 "Behold, I make all things new."

Ascension

by John Donne

Salute the last, and everlasting day,
Joy at the uprising of this Sun, and Son,
Ye whose true tears, or tribulation
Have purely wash'd, or burnt your drossy clay.
Behold, the Highest, parting hence away,
Lightens the dark clouds, which He treads upon;
Nor doth he by ascending show alone,
But first He, and He first enters the way.
O strong Ram, which hast batter'd heaven for me!
Mild lamb, which with Thy Blood hast mark'd the path!
Bright Torch, which shinest, that I the way may see!
O, with Thy own Blood quench Thy own just wrath;
And if Thy Holy Spirit my Muse did raise,
Deign at my hands this crown of prayer and praise
