The Michael Mediation
Kindle Inner Radiance During Dark Winter Depths
Rudolf Steiner's Michael Meditation urges us to take cosmic forces into ourselves. He describes that this is aided by the iron raining down to earth during the meteor showers of autumn, like the mighty sword of Michael. Humanity must then carry these forces deep within ourselves into dark winter depths so we may fructify the Spirit within our souls to rise again in the spring. Now, in the frigid winter in the N. Hemisphere, we must claim this opportunity for enlightenment and warmth of Spirit within our souls. Like Saul—a prominent lawyer and brutal enforcer of Judaic law—we can overcome the ancient forces that would drag us down and become filled with the the original Word that resounds throughout the universe. Thus, the earth and humanity will be redeemed and join the harmony of the spheres. Find the full Michael Meditation under the "Practices" section of our website, linked within our latest article on the Conversion of Saul—the renowned persecutor of the followers of Christ—to the greatest advocate of early Christianity, Saint Paul.
