Welcome back to Unit 6 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1.
I hope you enjoyed the first of the Apprentice material in the last unit. In this unit, we will start practicing a somewhat weird technique: muscle testing. If you have never done it before, it’s fun and can be very useful. And, of course, the practices you’ve learned so far will continue.
Once a week, on Wednesday, I bless everybody who has requested it for the current week.
The process is simple:

This is the seventh part of my essay series “Inner Work with the Planets”. If you haven’t read the earlier parts yet, I suggest you start with part 1 to get the most out of this essay.
Last time, we left the sphere of Venus behind and approached the Sun – and then enthusiastically went down a rabbit hole of Hermetic proportions. Well, at least I was rather enthusiastic. For all I know, you just might have been clinging on for dear life. 😉
Either way, I hope you’ve spent at least a bit of time pondering the implications of a (positive, life-affirming) monistic and of a (pessimistic, negative) dualistic outlook on your own life, because we will circle back to them later in this essay, where I will also have a confession to make.
For now, though, let’s pick up where we left off last time, and that’s with the question “Why have we been discussing all of this here, in an essay about the Sun?”

Welcome back to Unit 5 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1.
Congratulations! In the past four units, you have studied and practiced the material of the Introductory level of the Modern Order of Essenes.
(Well, I hope you have – if not, go straight back to Unit 1 and start practicing!)
This is a huge achievement, and you really deserve to pat yourself on the back for pulling through!
After all, it’s not just about the practice itself, but also about establishing new habits, maybe about giving up a few minutes each day which you had been using for other stuff before, about sticking it out even if the going gets tough (or boring), and about dealing with the effects which the MOE practice has on yourself.
Well done! 🙂
So… in this unit, we’re plunging headfirst into the next level, which is the Apprentice grade. As you will see, this grade contains quite a bit more material than the introductory lessons – and we’ll finally start out with what feels like “real” healing practices in the next few units… 😉

This is the sixth part of my essay series “Inner Work with the Planets”. If you haven’t read the earlier parts yet, I suggest you start with part 1 to get the most out of this essay.
It’s a beautiful Sunday, sunny and pleasantly warm. No cloud disturbs the sky. After the past few days of grey, overcast skies, of wind and rain, today’s weather comes as a relief. Waking up this morning, the sun shining onto your face in bed, all the dreariness of the past few days seemed to be gone in an instant. Full of joy and energy, you jumped out of bed to make the most of this day.
And now, outside, you’re raising your face to the sun and are enjoying its warm rays on your skin. How wonderful! You certainly couldn’t have picked a better day for this hike, could you?
You amble along the path in a comfortable speed, enjoying the sunny day and the warmth, admiring the dance of the golden rays on the ground. Pondering how it takes just a few minutes of sun to raise your mood, you set out to tackle the path before you.
A few hours later, though, your mood has soured considerably. [Read more…] about The One-Barrel-Fits-All Concoction

Welcome back to Unit 4 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1.
In this unit, you will expand both the Blessing Walk and the Healing Breath meditation, and we will also dive a bit further into the topic of spiritual healing, and its distinction from physical healing. [Read more…] about Modern Order of Essenes Course – Unit 4
