Elemental Realms of “The Mothers”
Once Anthroposophia is given her rightful place and the “Heavenly Sophia” (the combined beings of the Kyriotetes [Beings of Wisdom] which most Anthroposophists will acknowledge as a key component of Steiner’s cosmology) is added to the overall picture, we are one step away from the dreaded reality that adding The Mothers to Anthroposophia and the Heavenly Sophia then comprise a “Trinity of the Feminine Divine.”
We have placed before the reader a comprehensive presentation of the Divine Feminine Trinity, as a coequal being with the Divine Male Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), in our trilogy called, The Gospel of Sophia.

The Most Victorious Story Ever Told

Dear Gabriels,
We have never met. You both have been in my mind quite a bit lately as consciousness awakeners who are providing a great service to all of us. As time has permitted, I have been following your voluminous creative output since the beginning. Maybe one of these years I might finally be accorded the time for all the creative projects on my list as well as a more in depth study of both Anthroposophy and your Neo-Anthroposophy.
As I see it, what you are doing is quite new, for our time, and I am most thankful for your continual acknowledgement of Rudolf Steiner; that you give credit where credit is due, and remain respectful of his astonishing contributions. In brief, I would like to also include Michael M. in my thanks. The image of you three holding the spear is deeply etched into my fabric, though I have only briefly studied your history of its travels. The wonders of Easter are upon us … deepen, wait, arise, celebrate.
All the best, Mark
P.S. Soloviev would love you.

Holy Mother Apparitions
The Holy Mother has never stopped appearing in apparitions, visitations, healings, and personal manifestations to people all over the earth, no matter what religion or creed. Everyone has a mother from which they came. Everyone wants to return to the heavenly home – somewhere out there. The longing is universal and carries some of the most powerful forces of the soul.
It is not surprising that the feminine divine visions are usurped by patriarchal religions and proclaimed as “Mary” visitations so that the church fathers could control the narrative as part of their own cosmology. However, as you read below, there is a sacred place where the vision of the Great Mother appeared and the Pope through a papal bull conceded that this vision was not of the Church’s, but of a higher source.
Early in the ninth century, a saintly, quiet-loving young Benedictine monk named Meinrad, while passing through the city of Zurich on his way to become a teacher at the small monastery of Bollingen, was deeply thrilled when the Abbess-Princess Hildegarde gave him a lovely three-foot wooden statue of the Mother of God holding the Child Jesus in her arms.

Rudolf Steiner on The Meaning of Easter
“The only possible way in these days for man to unite a right feeling with Easter is for him to direct his thought in this connection to the world-catastrophe of his own time. For in very deed a world-catastrophe is upon us. I do not mean merely the catastrophe that happened in the recent years of the war, but I refer to that world-catastrophe which consists in the fact that men have lost all idea of the connection of the earthly with that which is beyond the earth.
The time has come when man must realize with full and clear consciousness that super-sensible knowledge has now to arise out of the grave of the materialistic outlook. For together with super-sensible knowledge will arise the knowledge of Christ Jesus. In point of fact, man has no other symbol that fits the Easter festival than this — that mankind has brought upon itself the doom of being crucified upon the cross of its own materialism. But man must do something himself before there arises from the grave of human materialism all that can come from super-sensible knowledge.”
