This is the time of the Inner Year when we seek the wisdom to recognize and overcome the counter forces who seek to challenge us and undermine the truth, beauty and goodness of our human spirit.
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
In this course we will seek the root understanding of evil.
The maturity of the soul is not its ability to avoid evil, but its ability to confront evil.
Archangel Michael’s slaying of the dark beast of evil is recognized and attended to each year on September 29th. Michael carries the sword that points to, penetrates, and slays evil.
Encountering the Challengers intends to awaken in our souls the powerful force of Michael, the inner ability to recognize and overcome personal encounters with evil.
As the dark of night overtakes the light of day, it is time to look at the darker questons and realities of consciousness and self-development. We need to look at our personal encounters with evil. The dark topic of evil needs to come out of the swamps and shadows of our souls and into the light!
How do we live with our own sins of commission and omission? How do we heal and resolve our experiences of victimhood? What is the karma of evil? What does it mean to “forgive us our debts and we forgive our debtors.” How are we protected from the temptations of evil? How do we atone for our sins? Just what is atonement?
Esoterically, what are the beings of evil? How do they engage us? What do they want from us? Can we redeem them?
In our difficult times of greed, war, global warming, terror and trauma, we need to find meaningful and practical definitions, perspectives and practices that develop courage, integrity, forthrightness and understanding. Without a conscious and articulate sense of evil, the demons and dragons hold sway, while we hide in anxiety, depression, doubt and confusion.
