liturgy of the seasons (6)
a weekly translation of Rudolf Steiner’s Seelenkalender verse
In 1912-1913, Rudolf Steiner created a sort of liturgy of the natural and spiritual year in the form of fifty-two short verses. Experience—my own and others—testifies to the powerful effect that a short meditation on the relevant verse throughout the course of the year can have in respect to awakening and sensitizing the soul to each season’s unique quality and gesture.
Below is Dr. Steiner’s original Seelenkalender, or “Calendar of the Soul” verse for this week followed by my translation into English. I have opted to follow, whenever a conflict arose, the spirit over the letter in my translation efforts, attempting to convey the “mood” before the propositional content.
SIXTH WEEK OF THE YEAR
Es ist erstanden aus der Eigenheit Mein Selbst und findet sich Als Weltenoffenbarung In Zeit und Raumeskräften; Die Welt, sie zeigt mir überall Als Göttlich Urbild Des eignen Abbilds Wahrheit. ∇∆ BORN in pain of separation my newborn sense of self arises and anon its cosmic likeness recognises in the powers that weave both space & time wrought from Form divine: the perfect mirror of Truth
Yes! Gazing through a mirror darkly… you must see yourself- but beyond the surface, the source of the True self, Jesus Christ ❤️
To a point, I agree with what you're saying it is a strong carolation between pentaneate savages in life. Jesus did not come to take away suffering but show us that we have a soul, his disappearance, resurrection is showing us the return of our souls to the body. Personal perception is just that, every witness says something more or less. The Apostles writing what they persieve, there understanding of what they saw Jesus do.
