Second Sunday of Lent 17 March 2019

We should always ask ourselves the question: how conscious of ourselves are we really? The ancient initiates had a saying, “Man, know thyself.” This is still relevant today. Golgotha is the story of how we become fully conscious of ourselves and all that surrounds us.

When we experience our “I” we experience being separate from everything else in our environment. It didn’t used to be this way, once we felt part of the homogenized whole, a drop in the cosmic ocean. Something of this can be found in Aboriginal dreaming. Gradually we separated out and became individuals and we are in the process of rejoining the whole but now as self-realized or self-born beings. That is the story of Golgotha in a nutshell.

As we walk towards Golgotha this year realizing that we are now empowered to know ourselves, to be more conscious of ourselves, we prepare for a more powerful inner Golgotha.

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.
