Christ, Christ in you, Lent, spiritual life

Lent Day 22

If anyone thinks there is no need to bother about Christ they are sadly mistaken. Christ is THE reason for human existence; he is the purpose behind our lives. Our task is to develop higher faculties of awareness to see him in the etheric realm within us and around us. In this way we create a whole new relationship with him.

So what do we do first? Develop the higher faculties, or develop our love for Christ? So many people choose the former when it is through the latter that we will receive the assistance of Christ himself to experience him as he appears in this world now. And we need to do it while we are incarnated on this earth.

“Those faculties through which one will be able to perceive the Christ event between death and a new birth cannot be acquired between death and a new birth; they must be acquired here on the physical plane and must be carried with one into the life between death and a new birth.” 10th March 1910

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.
