Sixth Sunday – Palm Sunday 14th April, 2019

The story of human evolution must always be applied to our consciousness. So what is the story of the evolution of consciousness? Before we had access to our ‘I’ we didn’t think within ourselves, our thoughts came to us as inspirations from the spiritual worlds. Even though we have received this gift we still, today, yearn for this old kind of thinking because it is easier. Thinking for ourselves is so hard.

Mostly we think regurgitated thoughts that we store in our being, or secondhand thoughts we pick up from others. Rarely do we have original thoughts. But, when we do, it is like being set on fire. These original thoughts are like igniting our own fire – no automatic pilot light required! This fire creates a mighty light in our being.

Along with the light, when we are the originator of our own thoughts, we experience true freedom. We experience true independence, because original thoughts are connected with our ‘I’, our eternal being. More and more we must try to have original thoughts. However, today’s culture is not conducive to this. We are fed so many thoughts through the media, and the world is so noisy, that we can barely think at all. We are so willing to listen to what other’s think we almost don’t dare to think our own thoughts.

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.
