This was very touching and moving and I can’t help but think that we are in an age where we can reconcile the opposites and define our own spirituality in a way that honours all traditions. I recently went on a family trip to Italy and as a family, with our three adult children, we went to Vatican City at night and walked around. I have to tell you that it was one of the most profound, magical experiences of my life …I’m not Catholic, and my early life is Christian and although I’m not practising, I have a deep reverence for Jesus and anything that is truth I suppose, anything his purpose it is to bring us closer to God. Indeed there was something about this place that really affected us all. There were seagulls circling the obelisk in the middle of the square and I swear that they felt like angels protecting the space. Because we were there at night, they were very few people and the silence was profound and made space for the gravity of spirit. I am certain that I was surrounded by angelic forces. Anyway, this is all to say that I related to much of what you wrote. Also, condolences to you and lots of love. ❤️
Thank you Michelle. That sounds so magical ✨ We forget that all these churches were built by artists and the amount of detail and sacred geometry that goes into all them generates a certain energy too. I follow a lot of accounts on insta that show the incredible interiors of the Gothic and Baroque Churches and Cathedrals and its just mind blowing what talent and time went into those creations. We have nothing like that in the modern day. So much for progress!
My heart felt condolences on the loss of your mother, but also many blessings on what her death led you back to or onto. I taught theology for many years and we are the sum of all that we experience. I’m so glad you found peace and a path forward through what I’m sure was a lot of pain and maybe a lot of other stuff too my blessings to you and my best wishes.
I learned so much from you every kind of learning that we do feeds us and helps us see the world and deal with it in different ways and we get different perspectives
"On its right side, in a northerly direction, stands the one that is particularly associated with Saturn's evolution. Its light shines in a bluish glow, weaker than that of the others. A lofty, stern figure, he is called by the name of Uriel."

Thank you for framing your decision in context of time and events.

Thanks Catherine 💕 Theology is fascinating I have always wanted to study it properly.

Oooh thanks for the Uriel quote. Steiner very cool!
You're welcome. Steiner is a very deep dive.
His most important lectures are about the Archangel Michael, Christ, and Ahriman.
