Lent Day 15

“The course of human evolution has brought it about that ever since the Mystery of Golgotha, and particularly in recent centuries, all that can properly be called experience of the Christ has fallen into complete decadence.” Rudolf Steiner October 31st, 1920

Reading these words gives cause for review of our own ideas about the being called Christ. Of course we can’t know a lot about him because he is a being of such magnitude that it would be impossible to understand him fully.

Knowing that a man called Jesus was able to prepare himself to receive this being into his body is an awe-inspiring thought. To know that when Jesus’ blood flowed down from the cross into the earth, this mighty Cosmic Christ claimed this earth as his body, can fill us with love and gratitude. Contemplating this deed can fill us with determination to know him better than we do during Lent and Easter.

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.
