Inspiring, as always, Robert! I had to listen several times to your thought about embracing “imperfect” research & researchers.. so true. Having witnessed how nitpicking in correctness runs roughshod over the tender shoots of fresh capacities and chills the sharing & environment, I think this could be a most wonderful
opportunity to invite each another in groups, to do the inner work to get a grip on the Spirit that is really speaking in those moments, and the Spirit that could be speaking, instead.
I am sorry for many lapses in the above, due to the fact that I was dictating to my phone. Not very careful! You may have to use your magic to understand what I was trying to say, but I trust your imagination to come out of that deeply human garden.
broken open, yes. there is an apocryphal story about Saint Francis, that when asked, "master what would you do if it is the end of the world?" said, "I would keep tending my garden, of course." We are experiencing an avalanche of artificial intelligence seeking to undermine our sense of reality, and our human unity, even the question of humanness. And we are facing a climate catastrophe of our own making. Is it the end of the world? Possibly the beginning of another? Anthroposophy gives us a long view into a distant future, and clearly, changes in humanity. If we are thinking of Christ as a cosmic impulse, and of Rudolph Steiner as a friend and guide, where does that leave us with our human garden? I feel, with the ground falling away beneath me, that all I can do is believe in this earth and the human community, as still able to hold the deepest impulses of kindness, which now are possibly inseparable from a sense of justice. There are people many people in America, our neighbors here, and in any case, our planetary neighbors, however, you can see it, who are being deprived of human rights and placed in concentration. Camps are set to concentration camps in other countries, by contract. If Christ is to circulate in the etheric, what that means to me right now, is that I have to at least stand up for my fellow man, and woman. It is really a moment of truth, of tending our human garden. The hideous strength of the system we have erected calls us, clearly, and simply to reach out to each other and attend to the garden of the human values that we know are true, they become tangible when we hold hands. And when we are holding hands, is this Christ in the etheric, as Christ can be known on earth? These are just my questions.
Forest, I resonate with everything you have shared, all I can say is yes, yes, yes! Of course, we each must find our highest and best role at this time, and that will look different for each of us…but in spite of those differences, can we hold hands and create a beloved community to receive and help amplify the Christ Impulse? That is my question and my hope.
Thanks for further explanatory video. I've only been studying Steiner for the last ten years and only now have discovered this topic. All ears. Looking forward to your further discussions this Autumn. Thank you for your work.

yes, yes, yes, it is hard work but i can be done! thank you Donna!
Also I want to say of course I have done this too.. making that mistake was a deep learning in source of impulse, and the killing of promising buds.

Wow! Wonderful! Lots to take in but very suggestive and tentatively hopeful. a second listening is in order. Thanks and looking forward
