“…at Winter Solstice the Sun stands at its lowest point in the year, and starting around December 25th, begans to ascend. During the 13 Holy Nights the Ascended Masters of Ancient Wisdom, the Spiritual Hierarchy of Earth, have a convocation in high spirit realms, from which they send out the power of the Sun of the coming year, to those people who want to devote themselves entirely to them, to entirely align their personality with them, asking them for strength and inspiration. If one celebrates the 12 days and 13 nights of Christmas in this way, asking the Masters in this way, then they send their vitality into these people, so that the power of the Masters works through them. ~Rudolf Steiner, 13 December 1905 - GA 266/1
I greet you on this the eve of NYE. Welcome dear friends, to our Holy Nights Series. We have been following the indications from the great Anthroposophical Initiate Sergei O. Prokofieff, based on the insights of Dr. Rudolf Steiner – taking us on the path from Jesus to Christ, starting from the feet of Pisces, the sphere of the human being, up to the Mystic Lamb of Aries.
And today we enter the 7th Holy Night: rising up from the lower Zodiac into the ascended signs, to meet 1st, the Constellation of Virgo, the Virgin (ruling the abdomen & digestive system) This is The Sphere of the Kyriotetes, the Spirits of Wisdom, the Dominions, the top of the 2nd Hierarchy
Here we contemplate the imagination of the Heavenly Virgin- an indication of the Cosmic Being of The Divine Sophia – the Archetypical Wisdom of the World Soul – depicted in the 12th chapter of the Apocalypse of St John, as the ‘Woman clothed with the Sun’, wearing a crown of stars, & standing on the sickle moon, with the dragon at her feet.
The Virgin gives birth to the Sun - & is then clothed by the Sun: This is a symbol of the birth of the etheric body.
We find all these qualities in the being of the Mary of the Luke Gospel, a reflection of this Heavenly Sophia – her twin soul. This Pure Innocent Virgin Mary, like the Nathan Jesus spoken about in the Gospel of Luke, is that spiritual part of Eve & Adam that did not pass thru the fall, but stayed in the ‘Mother Lodge’ until their incarnation at the ‘Turning Point of Time’, as Madonna & Child. Spiritual Science tells us The older, wise Mary of the Matthew Gospel, on the other hand, was the 1st earthly woman - the earlier incarnation of Eve - who took on the burden of the fall thru many incarnations.
In the 5th Gospel, Rudolf Steiner tells us that right before the Baptism, the 2 Mary’s became united, to create a vessel for The Divine Sophia. After this merging, the Mary of the Matthew Gospel becomes the earthly reflection of the Divine Sophia, opening the way for humanity to become the lowest member of the Pleroma, or collective being of the Sophia. Rudolf Steiner named her Anthroposophia, the force of Wisdom that lives in the soul of humanity.
This archetype carries the contemplation of the virtue depicted by the ‘Mother of God’, as selfless giving. In order to receive the experience of the Christ, the Gospel of Luke tells us this Wisdom had to ‘pierce Mary’s heart like a sword’ (Luke 2:35) so that there might pour forth from Mary-Sophia, the highest virtue of Wisdom motivated by Love, into the hearts of humanity.
At the foot of the cross, Lazarus-John, ‘the disciple Jesus loved’, is asked by Christ-Jesus to take this Sophia-Wisdom-Mother of God-into his ‘house’, symbol of the soul. Thru this, he becomes known as ‘John the Divine’, because he is embodied by the Divine Sophia, which enables him to write his Gospel & the Book of Revelation.
So on this 7th Holy Night let us look within, to find the realm of The Virgin, & the Wise Woman, to experience our connection to the being of Anthroposophia.
May we seek to acquire the calm steady Wisdom, that gives birth to The Being of Love within. ~hag
