anger, Beatitudes

Understanding Anger

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Mt 5:5

Some notes I made about the the 3rd Beatitude as I was writing about the Beatitudes in 2006-07

The “I” must be able to still the astral. The strongest astral impulse is anger. To be meek is to be in control of anger – to still it or to express it when there is no personal cause for it.

Anger rises when we want things to go differently – we buck against karma. The Luciferic spirits do this – they want us to be free now.

When we conquer our astral and its tendency to anger, Imaginative consciousness rises up. Being able to bring calm to our astral requires courage to look directly into the face of truth – about self and others. The meek have courage, there is no resentment and no fear.

We need presence of mind. We mustn’t lose faith in our fellow man no matter what they do. Our task is to overcome anger, impatience, intolerance. We must develop the courage of faith necessary to endure truth.

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.
