The Refreshing Home

Home, blessed, refreshing, fulfilling

Home – a spring of forces, from whose wellspring it is granted to every one to drink who draws near to this spring in reverence and in the sacred attunement of purity

Descending rays of jubilant freshness are to be found everywhere there, where we may seek the vibrations of home

And it is precisely this blessed place here upon Earth, this refreshing home, that earthly woman is to be, in her irreplaceable task as the mediatrix of the blissful forces which are permitted to come through her from the heights of Creation to this world

In the great task which from the beginning was entrusted to woman by the Creator, if she bears it within herself purely and clearly grasped, she is then the true mediatrix of the spiritual forces which stream through her, radiating outwards from her inner being

Home and womanhood – these two concepts are joined in one single merging of the blessed being of every pure woman refined in her intuitive perception

Both concepts go together and are one united stream of the living fulfilment of the present moment through woman, who in her pure attunement is both – the radiant home and at the same time the royal stewardess of this home

A joyful, inwardly happy woman is a luminous home, and the luminous home dwells within her, for in her purity and joyfulness there is contained the natural vibration of the currents of the Light, which she is permitted to weave for the life that is in this world around her

She is permitted to weave the rays issuing from the heights of the Light, where the human spirit has its origin and thereby also its true home

The mediating of the blissful vibration from the luminous heights is the weaving of an echo of the spiritual home in the direction of this Earth

And this weaving is entrusted to woman, in her high task upon Earth

If the rays of the Light pass through woman, she is a refined reminder of the bliss of the spiritual home here upon Earth, and these vibrations manifest themselves also in her surroundings, in the place where she is

This happening lies in the very nature of spiritual womanhood, for in woman this treasure is laid from the beginning, and thus, whenever she strives for a pure, joyful attunement, in that moment there streams through her a radiation bringing a reminder of the heights of the Light

The condition for this is one alone – the purity and the light streaming through her must never be dragged down into self-seeking, or even into baseness of volition

She herself is not to use this gift, which she received from the Creator, purposefully to influence in which direction the currents mediated by her are further to unfold, for instance for the use of the animistic servants, but above all for the use of the masculine force in the earthly world

That does not belong to woman, for through such conduct she would again and again renew the happening when, in ages long past, in her first failure, in the awareness of her gifts, she purposefully handed the symbolic “apple of temptation” to man

The temptation lay precisely in that self-seeking directing of the currents bestowed upon her from the luminous heights

In the moment when woman began consciously to barter this gift, there began to unfold the beginning of the downfall of herself and of the man with whom she wished to exchange this gift of hers for his influence, his position, his possessions, and even merely for himself, in order to gain a support for the founding of a family

In all this woman needs to stand always only in the highest intuitive guidance, in order to guard herself from entering upon paths which later she very often regrets

Any intention of purposefully guiding the radiantly shining currents from the spiritual worlds towards gaining something from man, or of otherwise using them for a set purpose, is an influencing which will return to woman in the form of decline, as the necessary result of the misuse of a precious gift

She is to concentrate inwardly solely upon her purity, which, when it truly dwells within her, is the strongest determining power for everything

In the weaving of the Light which she radiates there already lies all inspiration for the world of men and also for the working of the animistic servants

It is self-evident that man is the nearest receiver of these inspirations, and he is therefore to draw from these currents mediated by woman in the purest manner

Inspiration to poetry, to the supreme works of music or of writing which glorify and extol the Creator, inspiration to heroic deeds, but also to the raising of magnificent houses and of whole cities, or the most practical small matters of the day, all this is hidden in the radiation which woman mediates to the creative work of men

It is that great wonder which dwells therein, when out of an invisible radiation untouched by earthly thoughts there can arise a real connection, like a bridge of radiation which flows imperceptibly as a weaving of threads between the feminine and the masculine working here upon Earth

The weaving of the radiation is therefore to fulfil itself only in the inwardly most living vibrating of woman in life

Through her constitution she bears within herself service to the Light, whether she is aware of it or not

She cannot release herself from this service, because this service has from time immemorial been bound up with her spiritual nature

For the fulfilment of this service she also does not necessarily need to have a man immediately at her side, for she is free and independent in the great task which the Creator laid into her hands

She will always be protected from without, if she fulfils her task purely and faithfully

The forces of the animistic servants will always be near her, and through her pure service she may lean upon them fully

At her side there will always stand the handmaidens – Hestia for the ordering of the things of the home, Haetheine for the protection of her earthly path, Herfeline for the unfolding of her gift of healing, Astarte and Efredite for the strengthening of her charm and beauty, and also, through the gentle Siphe, the hosts of the little animistic beings in nature, in the flowers and everywhere else

Also to the purely serving woman there will incline even Herferide herself from the halls of Valhalla, and through her woman will then have connection into the heights of Creation

Many, exceedingly many gifts are given upon the path of every woman

Yet all this holds with the emphatic condition that she fulfils her task, and that the first thing hovering before her mind through all the time of her life here upon Earth will be the guarding of the flame of purity

This task she can raise to the highest unfolding, to the blessed flowering of all mankind

But she can also, through her impurity or through her self-seeking, drag this exalted task down into baseness or even into perversion, when instead of uplifting she then brings to all things only collapse and ruin

Therefore it is so important that woman should hold within herself and about herself always a pure, joyful attunement

Let it here be made clear that we speak of the peculiar self-acting radiation of the feminine weaving, which works here upon Earth at once, self-actingly, together with inner purity, like a magnetic kind of attraction, in which there is fulfilled the vibration of a certain fairy-tale quality that descends from the spiritual worlds

This delicate radiation is not to be influenced by a self-seeking, purposeful directing on the part of woman, but it is to flow into the space of the earthly world freely, like the refreshing current of a mountain brook

It is nothing difficult, on the contrary it is the very simplest thing, for all this happens naturally through the mere pure and joyful being of woman

The power of the working lies in her smile, in the brightness of her eyes, in her gentle movements, it even remains caught upon everything that her hand touches

Woman is also to be working in matter, and that especially in all that is connected with beauty and with the purposeful furnishing of the household, where she is the true stewardess of the ordering of its running

In this she is the keeper of the brightly blazing hearth, which brings blessing to her and to the whole world

Many other matters too may of course be shaped and directed by woman, that they may bring blessing in matter, in which after all she too walks the path of development towards the attainment of her own spiritual maturity

She can be a helper in the healing of the sick, she can pass on to others the wisdom she has drawn in, she can be the mediatrix of creative work in all that is delicate and demands carefulness, her connection with the plants through the animistic servants is unattainable to others, and much more and more besides is prepared for her here upon Earth

There is truly a countless number of places where woman may bring to bear her principle of gentleness and of deep inner peace, and where the world of today would not even seek a place for her working, such as the task of the queen standing at the side of the king, the task of the priestess of a people, and other places to which in the future there is to belong pure clairvoyance and the mediating of helps from the High animistic servants of Valhalla

In all this, however, she is to bear constantly in mind that she is above all destined for the connection with the Light, that she is to be the mediatrix for the weaving of the currents from the spiritual worlds

In this lies her most important task, and precisely in this she herself is then in part a certain refuge and thus a home, here upon Earth

If she fulfils this, then all things will cleave to her, will strive to draw near to her, for in a certain subconsciousness all life will intuitively perceive that she is the spring of a higher radiation, in which are hidden the true blessing and the true life here upon Earth

All that is animistic and all that is spiritual will feel in her a refuge, a source which mediates healing power for the pains of the whole world

Here too woman is to stand in the highest whiteness in the discerning of all that may draw near to her, for in her decision lies who shall become a guest in that home which she carries within herself

Not every one who, through his insufficient purity, is unworthy to draw near is woman to lead into her nearness

She is the one who decides what guest shall enter into the nearness of her home

Within her everything is so constituted that she may hold to a virtuous being

She also carries within herself the treasure of a pure wellspring, the womb in which there may take place again and again the wonder of the mediating of the gift of new life

Therefore she needs to be constantly on guard, lest every passer-by should at once become a guest in her delicate home

Only the purest striving and the genuineness of the intuitive perceptions may step by step draw near to that innermost home which is laid within woman

In the moment when once the boundary is shifted downwards, the return is then a thousandfold harder, and the blessing which otherwise is always at hand for woman is for a long time removed, if not indeed lost entirely

On guard therefore is every woman to be, that the gift laid within her by the Creator may be administered by her in purity, in radiant lovingness, which prepares the way for the currents from the heights of the spiritual planes

Only thus can she maintain the inner state of happiness and joy in earthly existence

Only thus can she also fulfil her task of a high kind, to be with her inner being and with her body a home of the refreshing Light here upon Earth

Let us look once more upon the picture which hovers above woman

A flood of rays of the Light inclines down from the worlds above the Earth

Woman can and also is to be for them a living dwelling, a vessel, a home for these rays of the luminous heights here upon Earth

In this lies her fulfilment, for which she so urgently longs and which hitherto she does not rightly find, because she seeks it in the outer world and not within her inner being

The woman of today goes forth again and again into battle, in order, by following the world of men, to become an imitation of man or his ornamental appendage, while her nature as the royal, exalted stewardess of the rays from the spiritual planes of Creation sickens in abandonment and falls apart into nothingness

Home is a concept far higher than as we know it here upon Earth

It is a living happening of the mediating of luminous vibrations which are permitted to stream hither to this Earth through the spiritual-animistic nature of woman

She is permitted to be a small part of the distant spiritual home and to mediate through herself a portion of the wondrousness and the fairy-tale beauty of those worlds here upon Earth

Would that as many women as possible who still seek the meaning of their life might now open themselves to this glorious fulfilling

Like a flash of the morning sun the awakening of every such woman would illumine the Earth

The blessing of the Light would stream through her, and she would experience the state for which she so long and so immeasurably yearns

The whole planet sickens through this, that woman has forsaken this ancient task of hers and has thus lost the purity of the important connection with radiance of a spiritual kind, which for her is vitally important

H o m e a n d w o m a n, that is a joining of concepts which, like a key, will now also open the gate into the new age of life upon Earth
