Lent Day 13

Trying to understand the Christ Mystery is not easy. The thing is, we have to do it here, we can’t say, “Oh I will do it when I die, when I am in the spiritual worlds without the hindrance of my body. I will see Christ and I will understand why he did what he did.”

Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. We only have access in the spiritual worlds to want we understand here on this earth. Every effort we make to understand the sacred mysteries now, we can access when we sleep, after we die, and while we dwell in the spiritual world preparing for our next incarnation.

“Since the Christ event, human beings who raise themselves up to the Christ Mystery can carry with them into the spiritual world what has been gained here in the world of the senses.” An Outline of Esoteric Science by Rudolf Steiner.

Christ, Easter, Lent

About Post Author

Kristina Kaine

Kristina Kaine has worked with people all her life: during her early career in medical sales and staff recruitment, and since 1987 in her own business which matches people in business partnerships. Through this rich interaction with people, Kristina has observed the struggle for self identity from many angles. She was awakened to the ideas of Rudolf Steiner by Rev Mario Schoenmaker, attending all of Schoenmaker's lectures for 14 years. After Schoenmaker's death in 1997, Kristina realised the need to explain the knowledge of the threefold human being in simple terms that could be applied easily in daily life. She has set this out in her book, 'I Connecting : the Soul's Quest', which was published in 2007 by Robert Sardello through Goldenstone Press. It is not unusual for Kristina to receive comments about her book like this: "It seems like a very lucid treatment, like looking through a clear glass window through which one can discover and recognize the landscape of the soul." Since 2003 Kristina has written weekly reflections which apply this knowledge of the threefold human being to Bible texts. This is not done in the context of any particular religious beliefs but from a broader perspective that all religions could apply. These reflections are distributed by email and are read worldwide. They are now available as Kindle books.
