Speak to Christ, he will answer

Many of us struggle to understand the troubling times we live in. It seems that every kind of violence is not only escalating but it is more brazen. What are we to make of this?

One thing is for sure, we should not respond with fear and judgment. Compassion and love are called for, always mindful that the king and shepherd of this world is guiding us forward. Why is he doing in this way? Well, as Rudolf Steiner explains, we should ask him.

“Why do we study spiritual science [Anthroposophy]? We do it to learn the vocabulary that we need to draw closer to Christ. […] we need to learn to find in that language the questions we can address to the Christ. He will answer; yes, he will answer!”

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.
