Greetings Sisters & Brothers in the Light of Martinism!
As our seasons progress through their cycles, we are in the portion of the cycle called Harvest – gathering all that we have grown and cultivated during these past months – and preparing for a time of rest and inward reflection as the Winter portion of our cycle is just around the corner!
Harvest – what an interesting word and an interesting concept! In life as well as in Nature, we plant seeds – material seeds or seeds of ideas – in the Spring portion of our Cycle. While the seeds are growing we care of them and guide them where it is needed so that we can develop that seed to its full potential – whether it be a material seed or the seed of thought or idea! Now we have reached the portion of the cycle where we HARVEST what we have grown and guided to it fullest potentiality, bringing it IN – to our physical world or to that world that exists within each of us – so that we too may benefit from and perhaps even BE that potential to its fullest expression!
What is it that you are Harvesting at this time?
The pandemic that has swept across our world and our culture this past 18 months or more, has changed life for all of us – what we once considered “normal” most likely will not exist again – there will be a NEW NORMAL – and each one of us is creating our portion of this New Normal at this very instant with our thoughts, our words and our actions – we are creating what we will become, as we learn in our teachings. BE the change you wish to see in our world!
The Atelier re-opened its’ Interrupted 2020-2022 Cycle on July 10th with an Associate Initiation and 3 Temple classes; this was followed on July 11th with the Initiate class and 4 more Temple lessons in that Degree. The SI class was held on September 11th with 4 Temple lessons in that Degree level also presented. With this interrupted cycle, we need all class levels to hold 4 Conventicles/Class Lessons each day each Degree meets – rather than the normal 3 lessons per quarter meeting date - in order to complete all the class lessons and have each member advance to the next Degree by December 2022.
The current schedule reflects this - we have arranged this for the Associate and Initiate class members – even if they BEGIN the Cycle in October 2021 for the Associates with Initiation into the Associate Degree followed by the scheduled Temple lessons for that day and advancing to the Initiate Degree in December 2022; as well as for the Initiates who may be transferring to the Atelier in order to complete their cycle beginning with the November 2021 class and will be advancing to the SI Degree in December 2022 – if all class dates are attended that remain on the schedule for this cycle. A copy of the current TMO schedule for the Rocky Mountain Atelier is available upon request!
We WELCOME our new Atelier members - ranging from the East Coast to the West Coast and from the US Virgin Islands to Alaska – we greet you with open arms and hearts! If you might still wish to switch from being a home-study member (“a student of Martinism”) to becoming a Martinist by participating in the Temple lessons, please let us know.
May we ALL Dwell in the Eternal Light of Divine Wisdom!
