Archangel Michael, Michaelmas

Michaelmas preparation

The next Christian Festival we will celebrate is Michaelmas at the end of September. This gives us plenty of time to create imaginations of the work of this mighty being Archangel Michael. He has traveled into our midst in the story of St George and the Dragon. The story of AA Michael show us ways of enlivening our consciousness in this materialistic age.

‘Our best defense is to take advantage of Michael’s sword which is sense free thinking. For this we need our will forces to free our thinking with its personal bias.

In his lectures published as “Language of the Consciousness Soul” Rudolf Steiner states very clearly,

“True insight allows the will to shoot up into the intelligence of the individual man. Blind will and abstract intelligence appear as beings; Lucifer and Ahriman.”

Then, in “Michaelmas and the Soul-Forces of Man” he says,

“Michael power arises in us when thoughts about spirit thrill us, electrocute us and change us forever. The dragon is fed by abstract thoughts. Michael power comes when thoughts about spirit grip us as powerfully as anything in the physical world.”

In another place he says,

“Michael leads man to experience the etheric Christ as the inner Sun of the soul as free and fully conscious man.”’

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.
