Mt. Buchanan
Dear Friends,                      
Here is my first post to share about my Seminary journey.  Before leaving for Toronto I decided to drive with my husband into the mountains to gather my thoughts for my first presentation in my class.

During a lecture in Dornach, 1st November 1915,   Rudolf Steiner said, ‘Compressed into a few brief words, this is the truth that can inspire us as a source of strength: “The Mystery of Golgotha itself reveals that it must be understood spiritually, that we must seek for Christ as Spirit.” And then we must also say: “Christ is seeing us, Christ is perceiving us.”’

Christ is seeing us, we are being seen.  When I feel truly seen, I feel that someone truly knows me.  In the lecture series entitled ‘From Jesus to Christ’, Steiner describes how Christ is directly involved with our destiny.  This has filled me with such gratitude.  Who better to work with my destiny than Christ the Teacher, the Healer, the Saviour - He who sees me!  I have no idea where this new part of my destiny at the seminary will lead me, or for how long, or what will happen along the way... but I can hold the words - “Christ is seeing us.”

The Seminary begins today, Michaelmas!  I hope to post again soon.  Wishing you well, Erica
