with Dennis Evenson,
Thursday, January 5, 7-9 pm.
The Magi were able to behold deep secrets of the starry heavens. For them, as for William Blake, every star was a spiritual reality, the temple for a colony of star-beings. In what sense do current cosmological theories constitute the coffin of Isis-Sophia, the grave of the worlds living spiritual essence?
Who exactly were these three wise men, according to the Western Wisdom Tradition? And what great mysteries of Earth existence are veiled in their gifts to the Christ Child? In tonight’s sharing, aspects of the profound esoteric insights of Rudolf Steiner and others will be offered–insights we might engrave in our souls as a content of the Christmas mysteries, preparatory to meditatively summoning spiritual light to bring true warmth of heart into winter’s darkness.
