"Interiorization positivity and light necessary, must be quiet within, spiritual teaching a stillness, being quit with one's self."
"Quality of forms - weaving of elementals, Sylphs mixture of mind and soul, helps to develop warmth within and take people as they are, criticism forms the 'phantum', they can work in your dreams balance, you are able to confront your antipathy, able to wake up in dream."
"Salamanders are warmth, Michaelic elemental of warmth and light first, then higher knowledge can come to us."
"Light candels calling in the Salamanders, bees wax candels are the best, how can I be a human being is the goal."

"Color the reality, early artists had instinctive inspiration" "Work in the fire realm" painting, listening to metamorphosis as painting, another color is another entity." "Eyes seek to green for example, yellow- orange- brings in opposing coolness with blue." "Element of gestures- spirits of the rotation of time- day and night, seasons and colors." "Salamanders - red, orange, Sylphs- yellow, orange, Undines - blue, green, Gnomes - blue, violet." "Warm red calming influence for very young."
"Sense impressions, everything on this earth, human being central influence on the world of nature.

"Parsifal - 1213 Wolfram Von Eschenbach prophet of the future, Arlesheim where Dornach is located, Grail Castle located possibly in Rhine, Vosges, Black Forest Country, Strasberg, Alses Lurein is France and Germany country- this is the Grail country. Parsifal starts at age 16, 17 at chapter 9 he is 22, or 23 years of age and has suffered enough to go the next step- the process moves from (1) dullness to (2) doubt - to an inner condition of inner certainty of soul."
"We each have a Parsifal, Kundry, Arthur within, Grail Castle is within us, an inner awakening this tale is about, not philosophical but done imaginatively done with images and pictures. Sleep, day time, then time between, tremendous amount happens in our dreams, next day dreams remembered soon after awakening."
"Jung legends, collective unconsciousness, lie below normal boundaries of consciousness, a supersensible experience we hear and see in our dreams but not with normal senses, take your dream life seriously."

(5) Robert J. Sternberg - In Search of the Human Mind- pg. 298- A morpheme is the smallest unit of sound that denotes meaning within a particular language. For example, the word talked has two morphemes: talk and the suffix - ed. Linguists use the term lexicon to describe the entire set of morphemes in a given language or in a given person's linguistic repertoire. Example, by affixing just a few morphemes to the root content morpheme study, we have student, studious, studied, studying, and studies. One reason English has more words than any other language is the relative ease with which its vocabulary can be expanded by combining existing morphemes in novel ways. Some suggest that a part of William Shakespeare's genius lay in his talent for creating new words by combining existing morphemes. He is alleged to have coined more than 1,700 words (8.5% of his written vocabulary) as well as countless expressions- including accommodation, assassination, critical, dexterously, eyesore, horrid, initiated, pedant, and premeditated.

(6) Rudolf Steiner - 1950 by A. C. Harwood - The son of a minor official on the Southern Austrian Railway, Rudolf Steiner was born on 27 February 1861 at Kraljevic, then on the borders of Austria and Hungary, now in Yugoslavia. The modest schooling available made little impression on him but he was intensely awake to Nature, and to the personalities with whom he came into contact. A conviction as to the reality of the inner life, "a soul space in man" as he called it, which manifested itself in some clairvoyant experiences and was strengthened by a delighted discovery of the world of pure ideas in geometry, gave the first promise of his future activity...And in 1923 he founded the Anthroposophical Society anew, placing at its center the "School of Spiritual Science" for those who wished to follow a path of self-development. He died two years later, on 30 March 1925.

(8) The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Carl Van Doren 1938 - Viking Press- Introduction- Comfortable as Franklin's possessions and numerous as his achievements were, they were less than he was. Whoever learns about his deeds remembers longest the man who did them. And sometimes, with his marvelous range, in spite of his personal tang, he seems to have been more than any single man; a harmonious human multitude." "I used also sometimes a little prayer which I took from Thomson's Poem's, viz.:pg. 107

"Father of light and life, thou Good Supreme!
O teach me what is good; teach me Thyself!
Save me from folly, vanity, and vice,
From every low pursuit; and fill my soul
With knowledge, conscious peace, and virtue pure;
Sacred, substantial, never-fading bliss!"

(pg.9) Rudolf Steiner had to cross the barriers that separate the inner from the outer, ...as he came to define it to himself, his task was to unite science and religion; to bring God into science, and nature into religion. So that mankind and the earth could become whole once more.
(pg.10) In this boarder-realm of the physical and soul worlds, Goethe was pioneer in recognizing the soul nature of color and its creative expression in art.
(pg.10) Though Goethe's concept of an organic universe has not yet reached as much maturity in outer forms as have Newton's mechanical concepts, the organic principle begins to be manifest in architecture and many other derived forms of art.
The third arrival in 1861, the late middle of the nineteenth century, was Rudolf Steiner. To realize what he brought into the world as an earth-transforming thought, we must cast our minds back into the darkest time of materialism, and think what the situation of a child would be who brought with him in the utmost clarity the perception of a supersensible world, whilst rejoicing, as son of the village station master, in the then quiet novel world of the machines, which were the real world of everyone around him. Of the supersensible worlds which he experienced, the dead who talked with him, the elemental beings who were visible around him in nature, of all this which was his real world he soon learned he must not speak, for no one else would understand him. So the child had first to learn how to keep silence. But the silence itself became unbearable, and compelled him to search always and everywhere for something in outer learning that could help to build a bridge between his inner and outer worlds. He defined it to himself as an experience of two kinds of space; one outside, which you could measure with instruments, and then in addition a kind of soul- space, inwardly perceived, which was immeasurable, mobile and filled with living pictures. The inner world indeed seemed the more important, because the mobile pictures interpreted outer events. But no one else seemed able to see them.
(pg.14) "Makarios", "Oh yes everyone knows Makarios but he is no longer a shepherd, nor does he live here." Eight miles farther on she came to a monastery from which she was guided to his dwelling.
A hut in a paradise like valley, on the shore of a still, transparent lake. A monk shows her the hut: "There he lives amongst his hens." She goes alone to the hut. The door is open. In an empty room, amongst clucking and fluttering fowls, stands a man with his back towards her, very tall but a little bowed, dressed in a peasant's smock yet wearing a monk's hood. She thinks: "He must be a Staretz" (wise, holy man), and one has to approach a 'Staretz' on one's knees." So she kneels. Over his shoulder he tells her "No need to kneel." He has his back to her and holds up high his open palms as though listening and receiving something through his hands. His face is ageless. Deep furrows spoke of cares but not cares for himself. His eyes did not seem to know sleep.
(pg.19) Dreaming is an inner activity which evokes in waking life as fantasy, artistic imagination and ultimately, Imaginative Cognition. It is a spiritual faculty which no art can do without.
(pg.20) The 'gossamer thread of thought' can span many an abyss. Scientific technology is spanning one between earth and moon. Rudolf Steiner has spanned one between earth and cosmos, or between earthly intellectual thought and cosmic wisdom. It is therefore not impossible. Art is likewise always attempting to span the abyss between science and religion, between intellect and faith, and its record, in inner and outer inspired picturing, may be read through the centuries as depicting what gave life to human's souls through all time.
(pg.21) So art may speak with its own quiet meaningful voice, where deeper thinking is needed.
(pg.22) Worlds dawning in inner light. Our thinking may have slept to them but in our hearts we are always awake and aware. Art calls forth heart forces to illumine the intellect.
(pg.23) In art, the heart breathes a new air. Like Blake we begin to live with our angels and what mundane thinking cannot compass, becomes visible through inner light in which the angels reveal that one step farther than physical eyes cannot yet see.
The outer light has created a world lying before us like a script full of wisdom, which through the faculty of thinking all of us may begin to read. Science can observe and record some of the marvels that are there to be read. But concerning the faculty of thinking, How, and above all Why, we have become thinking beings, science cannot explain.
To reveal more, inner light, which was once a faculty of the human heart, has to be won again, either very painfully, through life's trials, or through the training of Initiation transforming our thinking.
The outer light is supersensible in its source; the sun is its outer picture. Likewise the inner light is supersensible in its source, but can be experienced as an inner sun.
(pg.28) In Rudolf Steiner's words comes the answer: "Offspring of all...'Easter: a Chapter in the Mystery Wisdom of Man', Dornach 1924
(pg.30) The ways in which human destines are interwoven into the forming of one great whole, extending in time and space to a kind of cosmic organism, illuminated by One supreme Spirit of Mankind is introduced in the first scene of the first play by a kind of modern "Vision of Damascus" which forms the connecting thread through all the later scenes. A fifth play which might have depicted this impulse growing -- seed-like -- into a new shaping of social life, was projected but, hindered by war and subsequent disastrous events, e.g. the burning of the First Goetheanum and Rudolf Steiner's death, this was never completed.
(pg.31) Yet in the space of one life only we see the soul of the artist developing from imaginative fantasy to the penetrative vision of genius; the thinker, dry and thirsty in spirit for refreshment from his earth-bound intellect, seeking new sources of renewal of life's forces in the spiritual imagination of a simpler soul; the man of science, tormented by the irrefutable perceptions of spiritual realities which he cannot fit into the material patterns of his thought, feeling doubt, bewilderment and even despair over what he encounters. All these inter-related souls forming a pattern of destiny into which opposing forces weave the dark, or brilliant tones of spiritual arrogance or egotism, against which man learns the meaning of the age-old mantram: "Man know thyself!" Placed centuries ago at the entrance of the Temple of Ephesus, these words still serve to illumine a meaningful pattern which needs no further description- Crisis, doubt, suffering, despair, hope, joy and understanding are the steps by which man approaches his high goal, of ever further world's unfolding.
(pg.34) Thinking in things, objects in space, which could be weighed, measured and appreciated by the outer senses, had run through its course, uncovering many marvels and training men's faculties to exactitude. But the new Michaelic thinking would teach man to hold his own in storm and stress, in movements in Time, and above all widen the boundaries of his thought to include the heavens as well as the earth and to include mankind, beyond his own racial inheritance. We now, having completed the first century of this Michael epoch (1879-1969), can see and feel the surging impulse of new forces moving in the thought of mankind- and we can also feel the mighty antagonism of the old forms resisting and fearing the new.
Michael, the warrior - with his keen fiery blade pointing upwards- is the guide of our age.

(10) George O'Neil and Gisela O'Neal - The Human Life - This is a gorgeous book, resources for scholarship unrivaled, starting with chapter title, sub-titles: 'An Affair of Everyman', 'Survey of Life: Aspects of Body, Soul, and Spirit", 'Idealism- Flames of youth and Fires of Age', 'Polarities - Texture of Existence,' 'Transformation of Ideas into Ideals,' 'The Years of Metamorphosis.' 'The Genesis of Judgment,' ''The Human Life - Ripening of The Soul Forces,' 'Man the Balancer of Opposites.' Limited edition; a rare jewel.
(pg.7) This then is our theme. the inborn divine motivations of youth, their wonder and their fate. And the reborn willed-idealism of mature man 'humans'- the fully incarnated individual- its sources, the struggle, the achievement and goal.
Idealism breaks forth . A blossoming of the first part of life, as natural as it is for flowering to follow on leafing and rooting. Of course it can be smothered: soul-less education is stifling, premature encounters with realities can kill. But what a radiance, what a joy, when it awakens on its surrounding world. From whence does it come? Where is its source? Could we but know! We do bring it with us. We discover it buried within our bodily nature, pulsating in the blood.
In the late teens and early twenties, we find ourselves willing, and able without qualm, to dedicate our life to a holy cause. We can be filled with fervor, energy unlimited, with capacity for sacrifice, and an innocence and willingness to spend ourselves, beyond belief. We want to serve, to make better world. Seeing the dream goal, we count not the effort, the time or sweat involved!
Wherever the flow of events has radically shifted its course, we find the young at the forefront, providing the enthusiasm and energy. Dominicans and Franciscans were youth movements, their ideal: the cleansing of the Church. Consider the age of the leaders at the Bastille. (Fortunately, the signers of the Declaration of Independence were not all unwrinkled countenances!)
This wonderful, fiery gift of youth! Inevitably lending to excess, yet in the end, serving the aims of mankind.
(pg.14) "Up until now we have experienced ourselves vicariously through others, as though in a mirror. It was the appreciation of myself by others, their recognition of what I did and how I did it, that gave me my worth. My role, my title, my position reflected who I am. Now as inner perception of the "I' dawns, a sense of identity. 'I am an I,' aside from all the external trappings, from all dependences- I exist! It is thus that we begin to peel off the onion skins of the personality.

In the twenties the 'I" lived in my experiences.
In the thirties the 'I' lived in my thoughts.
Now in the Consciousness Soul the 'I' is naked.

It is recognized as the inner kernel. It is experienced as the maker of my destiny. Nothing happens any more, unless I make it happen.

Quotes from lectures by Rudolf Steiner Torquay, Aug. 16, 1924 'Initiate Consciousness' - True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigations-

Of Venus, physical love, and art: "In this period, when physical love arises in human life, the mysteries of the Venus-existence in the universe are spiritually inscribed in the book of life." Man "could not bring about in himself what he does bring about between 14 and 21 where, for instance , the mighty productive art forces enter into the human being, if he possesses karmic aptitudes for these- he would not be able to experience these things if he were not inwardly bound up with the sphere of Venus.

Of the Sun- period: "Were we not bound up with the Sun-sphere, we would not be able to develop any mature experiential understanding of the world between 21 and 42, when we pass out of the school years and enter into society. In ancient times something of this nature had already been expressed. A man was an apprentice until his 21st year, he became then a journeyman, and only later a master workman. Everything which must take place in the human being between 21 and 4r2 is bound up with what lives in the Sun existence, in the Sun-sphere."

Of Mars: "In this sphere the spiritual world begins to impart a strongly individualized character to ...the human being when they are on Earth.

Of Saturn: "All that occurs in the fading existence between the 56th and 63rd years is due to the fact that the Saturn-sphere is there.

(pg.10) Here it should be said that the phases of early life are the most typical, most generic. The influences of the outer planetary forces in later life are much more individualized. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn work in the lives of highly unique individuals. This is probably in accord with the dictum that Nature as such forms modern man only up to the age of 27, whereas the later years depend upon his own inner initiative. It is in this initiative that the cosmos can manifest.
Seen thus, the course of our life is only partly ours and to an even greater extent the creation of outer earthly forces, the shaping powers of the planets working in the stream of time. Infancy, childhood, youth, maturity, and age - all bearing the imprint of the Cosmos.
(pg.10) So, "We together with the Earth, are within these interpenetrating spheres. Seven spheres mutually interpenetrate one another, and we grow into this interpenetration in the course of our life, are thus bound up with it. Our life, from birth until death, evolves out of its basic endowment, while the star spheres in a certain sense draw us on from birth until death. When we have arrived at Saturn, we have then passed through everything which the planetary spheres through grace do for us and we then attain to what is called in an occult sense the life which is bestowed upon us freely mobile in the universe, which looks back upon the planetary life form from the standpoint of initiation, and which can be in a certain sense emancipated from necessities still existing in the earlier periods of our life.
