Calendar of the Soul Verses

Thirteenth Week / Fortieth Week


Here is the next installment of the Calendar of the Soul verses for this week (#13) and its polar opposite (#40). Note how the verses have diverged from the lemniscate's crossing point at Easter, (which is Verse #1 with Polar verse #52). We have just passed St. John's Tide (#12), which occurs right after the Summer Solstice and marks the top of the lemniscate. (Christmas marks the bottom). We are now moving toward the crossing point which will occur at Michaelmas (#26) while the polar verse is now approaching Christmas (#38).


This week's verse (#13) has dates of: June 30 - July 6
The polar verse (#40) corresponds to the week: January 5 - 11

13. Woche (30. Juni - 6. Juli)
Und bin ich in den Sinneshoehen,
So flammt in meinen Seelentiefen
Aus Geistes Feuerwelten
Der Goetter Wahrheitswort:
In Geistesgruenden suche ahnend
Dich geistvervandt zu finden.




13th week: (June 30 - July 6)
I am now in my senses' heights!

Yet flaring in the depths of my soul---
from worlds of fire in the Spirit---
the gods speak this truth:

"At the Fountainhead of Spirit,
seek and you will find
your affinity to the Spirit!"




40. Woche (5. - 11. Januar)
Und bin ich in den Geistestiefen,
Erfuellt in meinen Seelengruenden
Aus Herzens Liebewelten
Der Eigenheiten leerer Wahn
Sich mit des Weltenwortes Feuerkraft.




40th week: (January 5 - 11)
I am now in the depths of the Spirit!

And in the foundations of my soul,
the empty illusion of my self-image
is filled with the fiery force
of the Cosmic Word---

flowing out of worlds of love
within my heart.
