Third Sunday of Lent 24 March, 2019

We are born into the physical world, life after life we work to fully incarnate our I-consciousness, our true individuality. This is a work that depends not only on our own efforts but on the evolution of the human race in general. When conditions are right, and we are able to live in the physical world expressing the fullness of our I, then this I is crucified in the physical world so that it can express itself both in the physical world and the spiritual world through its elevated consciousness – this is the resurrection.

It would be entirely appropriate to ask why we have to go to all this trouble. Why don’t we just stay in the spiritual worlds and simply be spiritually conscious beings? The answer to this pivotal question is that we would remain part of the undifferentiated whole and there would not be progress. Progress is an essential part of the universe. We call this progress ‘evolution’ and it is everywhere evident in the universe.

You may be aware of the confusion about the dates of Easter this year. Jonathan Hilton has written a wonderful essay on the issue suggesting that we “participate in this becoming [of Easter].” http://bit.ly/2U4MO0U

About Post Author

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.
