A reader writes us and we respond inside with an audio: “Can you share with me any insights you may have as to how the new paradigm of pedagogy that used to be called Waldorf might meet this Covid19 crisis and maintain the healing impulse that used to be the heart of the new pedagogy. What are the truly Rosicrucian and Christic mean of meeting the coming school year?

Some of us in Oregon are seeking to form a collaboration, even a College of educators, where a healing, Christic pedagogy can still be practiced. It is new territory”

I participated in the First Class and the Circle in many locations in America and Europe. It was made perfectly clear what the rules were. If a person could be “tricked” with a leading question to admit that they were members – then what was the point of secrecy? I know some Circle members who talked to others about the circle who were not members. This was frowned upon and could result in being kicked out of the Circle. It is certainly possible that I might have been exposed to various “local rules” that only applied to certain groups. I don’t know. I only know what I experienced.

The voice I heard was not the usual voice of conscience that speaks when we need to determine right from wrong or other such situations. It was not the voice of any spiritual being that I had encountered up to that time. It was a real voice outside of myself that produced clearly audible words. It was a man’s voice that was filled with authority and love. I felt the voice was helping me, even though his command didn’t seem reasonable. I had never heard a “discarnate” voice before and it took me by surprise, but yet it was not scary or frightening in any way.
