The healthy social life is found
when in the mirror of each human soul
the whole community finds its reflection,
and when in the community
the virtue of each one is living.
This is the Motto of Social Ethic.
-Rudolf Steiner

This first Saturday, September 5th at 11 a.m. MT, the Front Range Anthroposophical Café presents:
Tobias Kaye
Past Present and Future:
Through the Lens of the Foundation Stone Meditation
The really big things of life mostly pass us by, unnoticed.
Yet it is these background realities of existence that are our true parents. If we stop overlooking them and start to build relationships with them, they become the most profound helpers.
What does it mean to you that everything comes in threes?
~ Do you feel the past to be a burden or a support?
How are you in this moment now?
~ Can you flow with it or do you fear getting it wrong?
Do you have faith in the future?
~ Or is it a random collection of possibilities, fearful or otherwise?
Through the Foundation Stone Meditation, we can come to feel how everything is Being. How these fundamental forces of Space, Time, and Relationship underpin the support that the spiritual world wants to give to the developing human being. The Father, the Son and the Spirit might seem like mighty gods too distant to understand. In the Foundation Stone Meditation we realize how these three themselves are made up of threes, each part of which is reaching out to support human life, human consciousness.
If the Foundation Stone has seemed like a large jumble of words to you, like something too cumbersome to find real life within or get your heart around, Tobias brings a fresh approach. The three panels, or the seven verses, of the Stone itself require a great deal of work to penetrate, but the independent set of verses known as the Rhythms, each contain a living relationship with one of the Seven Planetary Archangels whose dance of support weaves the weeks around our days.
Past, Present and Future are ours, they are gifts from loving Gods. To penetrate these three will create new ground under your feet, set free in you a creativity within your own destiny, and open the gate between you and your fellow human beings that Life itself is begging us to open.
Tobias Kaye adopted Anthroposophy in his late teens after searching through a few other streams of development for something to match the richness of his upbringing. Born on a Biodynamic farm and Waldorf educated he has focussed his inner life on service to Christ on the path of initiation.
At the age of 30 Tobias was given an image, in meditation, of a string stretched inside an acoustically-formed wooden bowl. Since that time the Sounding Bowls and their attendant beings, have become his main guide, facilitating the desire to bring something of value.
Today, Tobias also runs groups, coaching self-development through Steiner’s legacy, using particularly the Foundation Stone Meditation. Tobias also writes. Recently contributing a chapter on tree communication for the anthology: ‘For the Trees’. Tap here to explore Sounding Bowls and subscribe for his newsletter.
