Lent Day 16

In his book “And the Earth Becomes a Sun, Sergei Prokofieff enters into an extraordinary study of the Deed of Christ on Golgotha. He says “… it became possible to impregnate the pale mirror image of the earthly ego with its full reality, thus raising it from the stage of semblance to that of true being.”

He explains how our ego, our I-being, was “only a semblance engendered by our physical body, comparable to a reflection in the mirror that has no actual existence.”

We owe our existence to Christ, and only if we truly love him, and awaken to his presence in us, can we move forward into an experience of our True Self.

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.
