What’s On

with Owen Barfield

Owen Barfield (1898–1997) ‘The first and last Inkling’ was described by C.S. Lewis as his “wisest and best of my unofficial teachers”. They met in 1919 and soon they were each other’s “second-friend”. By contrasting what they thought about ideas, I hope to encourage others to also think about such-like. C.S.Lewis was pointing towards Barfield, but their tomorrows are increasingly becoming our todays.

Owen A. Barfield is the grandson, custodian of the Owen Barfield Literary Estate (beginning in 2007) and publisher of his Grandfather’s books (Barfield Press).

We will be continuing to read and discuss Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s foundational books, published in 1904. It begins by describing the threefold nature of the human being: body, soul and spirit. This is followed by a profound discussion of reincarnation and karma, concluding with a description of the soul's journey through regions of the supersensible world after death. The book closes with an outline of the path to higher knowledge.

Tuesdays 7pm -8.30pm

We will be looking at lectures by Rudolf Steiner with the title 'The Fifth Gospel' given in various German cities in Nov and Dec 1913 (from GA148) and at his lecture from May 27th 1914 titled 'Progress in the Knowledge of the Christ: The Fifth Gospel' given in Paris (in GA152).

The lectures, which are informed by Steiner's spiritual research in the Akashic Chronicle, present many remarkable discoveries about the life of Jesus of Nazareth before the Baptism and about Christ Jesus' experiences following the Baptism. Included are dramatic insights into Jesus' doubts over the relevance both of contemporary Pagan Mysteries and the Bath Kol; Jesus' realization of the cosmic, inverse significance of the Lord's Prayer; His relationship to the Essene community and His glimpses of Lucifer and Ahriman fleeing the exclusive Essene Gates of Jerusalem; the intimate, cathartic conversations between Mother Mary and Jesus that led  to the Baptism; the three temptations of Christ Jesus; Peter's denials, and much else besides.

This book was written by Rudolf Steiner, who said about it: "The title Christianity as Mystical Fact was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into
being."

The talk will address both the more immediate future, that is the dangers of Materialism, and how to strengthen our discrimination, seeing the Materialistic mindset and practices as a necessary stage the Earth must got through, extracting the best it can from it, before it can ascend towards the expanding vistas of the greatest Paradigm change since the Turning point of Time.

In these very accessible lectures, Steiner deals with the subtle effects of spiritual development at every level from straightforward investigations of the effects on spiritual seekers of coffee, tea and foodstuffs through to the universe of anthroposophical spiritual striving and the human being in relation to the forces of Ahriman and Lucifer.

Occult Science is not a collection of lectures but a written book by Rudolf Steiner. It is meant for studying the content. It is composed of VII chapters and the present study group has almost reached the end of chapter IV (Human and World evolution). Soon the study group is going to enter chapter V in which Rudolf Steiner is focusing on our present time and tasks in which each individual Human Being is called to participate. We are using the translation by George and Mary Adams. All are welcome!

with Peter van Breda

Who speaks in me, I am? Do I recognise the I that speaks in me? The mystery of the I, our true self will only be fully revealed in the far distant future. We are though on our way grasping and seeking our true being. When though two or three are consciously gathered in his Name the true ‘I am’ of each individual person begins to shine.

A course given by William (Mucky) Mann, at Emerson College led Peter van Breda to recognise that art through the ages can offer a direct indication of the phases of consciousness through which we have evolved. This carried within it the mystery of reincarnation and the development of the ‘I am’ within our individual spiritual make up.

We will look at the functions of our ‘vital body’ (also called our etheric body) and how it is affected by our everyday
activities. How does the etheric body in the human and nature appear from a supersensible (non-physical) point of view?

– How does our etheric body change with age or after specific treatments or illnesses?
– What are the four different types of etheric?
– How can we experience them in our life?
– How can we develop our etheric body?
– How do addictions appear from a spiritual point of view?

Cost: £15 cash on the door

with Inessa Burdich

TALK

In these turbulent times, fear manifests not only as personal anxiety but as a collective atmosphere: a shadow cast by the growing presence of negative forces. This theme invites us to approach fear as something to transform through a conscious relationship with the being of the archangel Michael.

Michael, as the spiritual countenance of Christ, works today as a Time Spirit, calling each human soul to awakening, inner uprightness and courage.

Together we will explore:

– The role of Michael within the spiritual hierarchies

– The mystery of symbols 

– Michael’s connection with Gabriel and Oriphiel

This meeting will offer practical exercises, to strengthen our steadfastness and moral clarity, so essential for transforming the increasingly visible negative forces of our times. These practices support the path of becoming Warriors of the Light, capable of meeting adversity with awakened presence.

£15 cash on the door

This lecture will be followed by a one day workshop at Temple Lodge, Hammersmith, on Saturday 14^th March, £95. Booking required – call Alex Wright on 01342 827967 and for further information.

Inessa Burdich is a Spiritual Science researcher and a therapeutic consultant for individuals and organisations.
She is also a Trustee for a Rudolf Steiner research and educational trust dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs, and leads courses in Anthroposophical meditation and supersensible perception.
