"My dear friends,",
"Quite a large number of new members of this School are present, and I am therefore obliged to again say a few words about its principles. First if all, this School represents the impulse of the anthroposophical movement which was renewed here durng the Christmas Conference at the Goetheanum. Previously there were several esoteric circles. All these esoteric circles must be gradually absorbed into this School, beause with the Christmas Conference a new spirit was introduced into the anthroposophical movement insofar as it streams through the Anthroposophical Society.",
"I have repeatedly spoken about what the difference is between the anthropoophical movement before the Christmas Conference and the one we now have since Christmas. Previously the Anthroposophical Society was a kind of administrative body for anthroposophical teaching and content. Within the Anthroposophical Society, Anthroposophy was, so to speak, cultivated. Since Christmas anthroposophy is not only cultivated, it is also carried out; meaning that everything which passes through the Anthroposophical Society as activity, as thought, is anthroposophy itself.",

"I was sitting on the veranda, the winter sun high enough to warm me. I closed the book I was reading – a kindle edition of Stephen King's The Green Mile – and looked into the small forest which began about thirty yards from where I was sitting. I saw, or thought I saw a face there within the green. It was unclear, unfocused, so to speak. A cloud-like formation crept from the east to cover it, but then dissipated. I tried to determine who it was, but could not. I thought of Jesus, whom I had had occasion to meet some years ago in a dream when I lived in Geneva. I wrote it down in my “dream book”:",
"May 15, 1985 - I was with John Rogan in a park. We were walking away from a lake when a woman's voice called to us. “You there of the same race.” We turned and saw a man with a light-colored beard and a woman walking together on the lake. They were smiling and walking toward us on the water. We started to tingle all over and felt weak with joy. John went down on one knee. I just stood there. A wonderful feeling of recognition coursed through me – and thankfulness. Yes, this is it, oh my God! But they stopped before reaching us. It was too much perhaps. The woman said, I think to John, “You would like us to continue, I know, but ...” I woke up. It was Christ. The woman, I don't know. Maybe they were both Christ, different aspects of him [or Mary Magdalene]. They were dressed in normal, casual modern clothes."

"Grown-ups called her Doña Margarita. She had come to Argentina from Europe many years ago. It was said that she had lost her whole family in the war. That’s why she had no grandchildren. The children on the block used to call her Grandma because she was like a grandmother to us all.",
"She worked as an operator for the telephone company and almost every day she called one of us from her job and gave us a message from God: that we be good, that we obey our parents, that we love and help one another – that kind of thing. She didn’t say they were messages from God, but my friend Agustina, who knows more about those things, said they must be and the rest of us were sure that she was right. After Grandma retired she didn’t call us any more because she would have had to pay for the calls and she didn’t have much money.",
"On her last day at work I was the one she called: \“Hello, Carolina. It’s me, Grandma.\"",

"It was late afternoon when Sergio and Divino started out, but there were still several hours of daylight left. Sergio studied the rushing stream that separated the house from the forest, then backed up and ran toward it as fast as he could. At the last moment he gave a mighty leap and landed safe and dry on the other side. Divino, knowing he couldn't jump across as his brother had, stood on the bank and felt like crying.",
"\"Go back to the house,\" Sergio said. \"You're too small for this job.\" Divino looked so sad that Sergio relented. \"Oh, all right, come along downstream. Maybe there's a narrow spot where even you can cross.\"",
"They followed the stream, Sergio on one side, Divino on the other, until they came to a bend where some large rocks lay in the water forming stepping-stones. Divino skipped easily across them. \"Someone must have put them there so little kids can cross too,\" he said. But his brother laughed and said they must have always been there.",

"Booker La Croix liked nothing better than to put on his best hat, hitch a ride from Huddle Creek up to Baton Rouge, and spend his day off in a dark theatre watching the moving pictures. He paid his seven cents for the ticket, went around the side entrance, and climbed the steps to the balcony. The matinee featured his favorite, Buster Keaton, in The Balloonatic and Our Hospitality, and there would be short movies in-between. It'd be a whole afternoon of laughter, except when he looked over, wishing his sister to be sitting there next to him. With Lila Mae gone, his closest friends were books and the flickers.",
"His brother Jeremiah thought him crazy to spend his day off watching white folks. The youngest of five boys, Booker was always picked on. His brothers nicknamed him Booker for preferring to read over playing ball and sneaking shots of moonshine. They teased him for working in the parish library and laughed at him when he tried to slick back his hair with brilliantine like Rudolph Valentino, but nothing straightened his thick coiled hair.",

"description": [
"Britons mourned the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, and understandably so. The outpouring of affection for their long-serving monarch was more than commendable, it was touching. Yet count me among those mystified that so many Americans also professed to care. With all due respect to Queen Latifah, we decided way back in 1776 that we’d had our fill of royalty.",
"Mere weeks after the death of Elizabeth II came the demise of another Elizabeth, better known as Liz, whose tenure as British prime minister shattered all previous records for brevity. Forty-four days after Her Majesty had asked her to form a government, Liz Truss announced her decision to step down. Cries of “No, Liz, stay on!” were muted indeed, while she herself seemed to feel a sense of relief that her moment at the pinnacle of British politics had ended so swiftly.",
"As a general rule, I no more care who resides at 10 Downing Street than who lives in Buckingham Palace, since neither bears more than the most marginal relevance to the well-being of the United States. Even so, I confess that I found the made-for-tabloids tale of Truss’s rise and fall riveting — not a Shakespearean tragedy perhaps but a compelling dramedy offering raw material — most memorably in the form of lettuce — sufficient to supply stand-up comics the world over.",

"Baseball as an Esoteric Ritual",

"description": [
"It is the vernal equinox, and the ritual has begun. The participants enter into the sacred quadrant and take their stations at geometrically significant places. They are all men, dressed in pure white garb, marked with colorful esoteric symbols. They hold ritual implements in their hands. Four more men arrive; they are dressed in dark blue. Like concelebrating priests, they confer on the details of the liturgy. Then they too take their places.",
"A sacred hymn is intoned, and after that come the opening words of the ceremony: \“PLAY BALL!\”",
"We need look no further than the local baseball diamond to find high ritual. There is no need to hanker after secret Masonic rites in closed halls or occult workings in incense-filled chambers. Wherever baseball is played, a true ritual goes on, as exoteric as daylight, as powerful as spring.",
