III. Kore Kosmou meets Choreocosmos – Circle Dances in a Karmic Stream “Our purpose is to imitate; to absorb the movement of the world into ourselves through our limbs. What do we do then? We dance…All true dancing has arisen from imitating in the limbs the movement carried out by the planets, by other heavenly bodies, and by the earth herself…When the limbs carry out the harmonious cosmic movements of the universe...the soul...begins to sing.” ~Rudolf Steiner, Study of Man, p. 144
The Divine Will is revealed in movement. It stirs in us a living experience of the human Being as a moral citizen of Mother Earth, AND the Cosmic Love Child of the Creator Beings - Grounded in the 4 Elements of Natura – & thru the activities of the Wandering Planets against the background of the Fixed Stars of the Sidereal Zodiac.
For a week, starting at the time of the Lunar Eclipse - 50 intrepid souls from all over the world moved together in synchronized geometric forms – co-creating the integration of awakened consciousness, & a palpable warmth of heart.
It was like attending a family reunion. Many folks come to the international gathering every year. And they all adore their teacher Dr. RP, who has been doing these retreats for many years. Taking indications from the ancient Mysteries, & the new Art of Eurythmy brought forth from Rudolf Steiner thru Marie Steiner von Sivers, he founded the Cosmic-sacral dance called Choreocosmos. He attributes his eternal stamina to the vital forces that the dances evoke.
It was a joyfully rigorous undertaking which revealed to me how all human actions are fostered thru movement - Our Thoughts, Words & Deeds can flow in harmonious measure – Strengthening the ordering of pure thinking - The flow of air thru the larynx to foster creative speech – The purposeful gestures of our limbs thru Time & Space - Can be re-aligned with the activities of the Heavenly Bodies - These Cosmic paces are intimately related to our human rhythmic system – the beat of heart & lung – which humanity has an opportunity to re-connect with to redeem the Michaelic Cosmic Intelligence – & enact the sacramental alliance of Head, Hands & Heart.
Aligning with the Divine Will changes the way we move thru the world - & unites us in relationship one to the other. It bestows Grace & Beauty into our ‘Vital Life Body’, & fortifies the Etheric realm we all share in the unity of Community – Opening the way to the ‘Etheric Christ’ – Co-creating a Holy Chalice for the Mystic Marriage with the Redeemed Sophia - to give birth to the Wisdom of Love cradled in Free-Will - to re-shape our human world - which is all too often lacking in Truth, Beauty & Goodness – Qualities engendered by the ‘Rose of the World’– in the Heart of the Galaxy - united with the ‘Being of Love’ – the Logos born from the Central Sun – gestating the Higher “I” in us.
As fate would have it Soror EC – who I had never met in person, only thru engagement here on ~Cognitive Ritual, was there! The easy flow of our sisterhood felt like a continuation from many past lives of service in the ancient Temples. And to further the synchronicity, Soror EC is a member of the Scuola Misteriosofica Sezione Esoterica of Pleroma Anthroposofia - And so destiny brought us together later at the Green Riviera for the Michaeli Equinox with its further Holy adventures - which will be revealed in Canto IV. Until Soon ~hag

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY Rudolf Steiner’s Lectures on this day
395 – St. John the Evangelist settles in Patmos to write the Apocalypse, inspired by the BVM
420 – Deathday of St. Jerome also called Hieronymus, Roman priest, theologian, patron saint of translators, librarians & encyclopedists. Rudolf Steiner speaks of him in From Jesus to Christ lecture 4, saying he had to ‘falsify’ the Gospel of St. Matthew, because it was too esoteric for folks at the time: When we know this, we understand that the original Gospel of Matthew could not be imparted without further preparation because men were not ripe to receive what was in it. For if Jerome, a Father of the Church, was himself not ripe for what it contained, then certainly other men were not. Those who were originally in possession of these communications, the Ebionites, did not impart them because, if received by unripe persons, they would have been so distorted that they must have led to what Jerome meant when he said that they would serve not for edification but for destruction. Now Jerome understood this; yet he allowed himself to impart in a certain way the Gospel of Matthew to the world. ~Rudolf Steiner
1207 – Birthday of Rumi, Persian mystic & poet
1791 – The first performance of The Magic Flute, the last opera by Mozart to make its debut, took place at Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna, Austria
1882 – Thomas Edison’s first commercial hydroelectric power plant (later known as Appleton Edison Light Company) begins operation on the Fox River in Appleton, Wisconsin
1914 – Birthday of Johannes Tautz – a Historian, Religious scholar, Anthroposophist, Author & Waldorf teacher. After the German capitulation, Tautz was imprisoned by the Czechs, Americans & Russians but managed to escape in the summer of 1945 back to his family in Bad Boll. He was soon approached by Erich Gabert in Stuttgart to join the Waldorf School that was about to be opened as its German & History teacher. On 1 November 1945 he stood before his first 9th grade at the Free Waldorf School, Uhlandshöhe. Soon Johannes Tautz decided to look up his “predecessor”, the first history teacher at the Waldorf School, Walter Johannes Stein. The conversations with Stein provided an orientation & inspiration for all of his further work as a teacher, lecturer & writer; in his lecturing work at national & international conferences and in the “Hague Circle”, a coordinating international group of Waldorf teachers. He likewise received particular guidance from Emil Bock regarding a Christological view of world history & from Jürgen von Grone about the destiny of Germany &in particular to the figure of Helmuth von Moltke. In 1966 Tautz held three lectures about the spiritual background to National Socialism, which later appeared in print under the title Attack of the Enemy – The Occult Inspiration Behind Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in 1976. In it he looks at a number of personalities connected with questionable occult practices with which leading Nazis had been close during the time of the movement’s growth. In 1979 he edited a collection of biographical portraits together with Gisbert Husemann of the circle of founding Waldorf teachers around Rudolf Steiner. Together with a young friend, Thomas Meyer, he visited the daughter of Walter Johannes Stein, Clarissa Johanna Muller, in Ireland where she was living in order to look through her father’s literary estate. They found the typescript of Stein’s dissertation annotated by Rudolf Steiner, letters & meditations of Steiner for Stein, his mother & for his brother, who fell in a mysterious manner in WWI. Letters & notes of Ludwig Polzer-Hoditz, Eliza von Moltke, Ita Wegman, D.N Dunlop & many other personalities were discovered & formed the basis of Tautz’s biography of Stein in 1989 In 1993 he initiated the editing of a collection Rudolf Steiner’s letters & notes to Eliza von Moltke together with the post mortem communications & the letters of Helmuth von Moltke himself. The decision to publish these was to prevent or anticipate a partial publication without an appropriate commentary on the subject that had been announced. A previous instance of this content being used had been in the book The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft which, in the opinion of Tautz had been written “without the necessary protection of background knowledge for the deeply-penetrant & difficult to understand material.” Further reading
