As Above, So Below

2 Comments

This is the thirteenth 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.

In the last essay, we started the descent back down to earth again, all the way from the fixed stars in the eigth sphere. We also had a lively discussion of Hermetic ideas, about the importance of being well rooted here on earth while we still dwell in our current state of dual nature, and about different kinds of descents through the planetary spheres.

During all this, we descended about halfway down again, back through the sphere of the Sun… and are just now entering the sphere of Venus.

Modern Order of Essenes Course – Unit 11

Write a comment

Welcome back to Unit 11 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1. And in order to see all the course-related posts on one page, click here.

+++ Important Update: I have published a list of potential attunement dates, and need to know your preferences by Sunday July 20th. Please reply asap. Thanks! +++

In this unit, there are still some new things to learn, but we’re slowly but surely reaching the point where you will (hopefully!) comfortably settle into the work, and where it’s not so much about learning new things anymore, but about consistently applying what you have learned so far.

By now, you should have established a working routine to integrate the MOE practices into your schedule. How this looks like will be highly personal, of course – but please feel free to share and discuss any related issues or ideas, successes and failures in the comment section!

But for now, there are still some more things to learn and to study…

What Goes Up Must Come Down

3 Comments

This is the twelfth 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.

In the last essay, we (finally!) reached the level of the fixed stars. After all a long and arduous climb with lots of contemplating and thinking thrown in, we simply got to sit all the way up there for a while, and to enjoy the splendid view (unfortunately, nobody was around to serve drinks, but I think we had a reasonably good time anyway… 😉 ).

Today, we’re going to do the obvious thing: We’ll climb down again.

So let’s take one last look around and then turn our backs to all the shining stars and marvelous constellations, and enter the sphere of Saturn again. And while we shuffle back down through the outermost planet’s sphere, slowly and steadily, one well-measured step after the other, we have some time to talk – and to ask questions.

Modern Order of Essenes Course – Unit 10

6 Comments

Welcome back to Unit 10 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1. And in order to see all the course-related posts on one page, click here.

This unit finally starts using the “real” healing technique, aka the Healing Hands, which you’ve faithfully empowered for quite a few weeks now (or at least I hope you have! 😉 ).

Although I sincerely hope that by now, you have realized that everything you have done is part of spiritual healing, both for you and for the world around you, and that all these practices are worth doing…

Signs From Above

6 Comments

This is the eleventh 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.

Well. We’ve come a long way, up from earth, on our journey through the seven planetary spheres, haven’t we? Saturn surely was a very fitting end of this journey, with his focus on old age and death!

But… is this really it? Once we’re past Saturn’s sphere, will there only be a great void of nothingness? Well, I suggest we’ll go and have a look – and I invite you to join me in taking the last few steps out of the limits of his sphere and into the space beyond… [Read more…] about Signs From Above

June 2025 Ecosophian Convention in Glastonbury – Report

8 Comments

The recent Ecosophia Convention in Glastonbury was not only a wonderful personal experience, but there were also a ton of interesting talks and other offers.

Since a lot of the people who follow JMG’s Ecosophia blogs couldn’t be there, I figured it would be nice to publish a report of the convention so that everybody can share into the Glastonbury feeling a bit, and to make the content of all these wonderful talks available to the rest of the Ecosophia crowd. Thus without further ado:

You can download the pdf file of the report here.

The report is free, just as a lot of other things on my site are. If you should feel inclined to tip me through my Ko-Fi page, though, I won’t turn it down – the proceeds will allow me to invest more time into the other free things here, e.g. the weekly blessings, the MOE course or my essays.

Either way, feel free to browse around if you’re interested, and I hope you enjoy the report! 🙂

Modern Order of Essenes Course – Unit 9

8 Comments

Welcome back to Unit 9 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1. And in order to see all the course-related posts on one page, click here.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your feedback about whether you’d like to continue the course past Apprentice! 🙂

Since there is some definite interest, I will continue the course at least to the Healer level (we’ll cross the Master bridge once we’ll get there).

So… I’m going to start planning for the Healer course units very soon, and am willing to improve things if possible. Thus if you have any comments, requests, or feedback about the course so far, whether positive or negative, now would be the time to let me know!

As for the content of Unit 9, there are no new elements this time, but new steps to some of the established elements. The Blessing Walk in particular is slowly but surely expanding from the molds of your dedicated walks, and is growing some fine roots into the rest of your life… 😉

Enjoy!

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

4 Comments

This is the tenth 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.

Still being somewhat drenched by all the showers of Jovial abundance, today we continue our ascent through the planetary spheres. With Jupiter shrinking to a distant ball of bright-white light behind us, we once more take a deep breath, and slowly continue working our way upwards towards the next (and last) planet which, alas, is still some distance away.

While we tackle this climb one patient step after the other, let’s use the time we have together to continue our discussion from last time, shall we? 🙂

Modern Order of Essenes Course – Unit 8

22 Comments

Welcome back to Unit 8 of the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1.

Before we dive into the content of Unit 8, a request: At some point soon, I’ll have to decide about my publishing schedule and my work for the upcoming months. In order to plan ahead, I need to know whether any of you are interested in continuing this course past the Apprentice grade.

So… Are you interested in tackling the Healer as well, or rather not? Please tell me in a comment below, even if you shouldn’t be quite sure yet.

Important: It doesn’t matter whether you are on schedule with the Apprentice lessons or lagging behind. I’m perfectly fine with preparing the Healer material even if people will only get to it a few weeks later! However, I would not put in the work if nobody is going to make use of the course… 😉

I.e. if you’re behind for whatever reason, please also let me know whether you intend to continue or not.

Well. Having gotten this out of the way, we’ll now proceed to the content of Unit 8…
