St. Anthony of Padua (Portugal) Feast Day today.
Priest, friar (Franciscan order). Patron saint of animals.
St. Anthony would preach to the fish & they listened!
Owing to his title as the patron saint of animals, Spanish celebrations include having holy water sprinkled on pets for protection. Pet owners line the streets of San Anton in Madrid to give their cats, dogs, and other furry friends this special treatment.
The saint who tended & cared for the poor, needy & ill.
He would stand at the seashore & speak to the fish in the sea who would gather together listening to him.
He is the saint who helps in the recovery of lost & mislaid things.
He was a great Teacher. He had with him the book of Psalms (emblazoned in gold, very precious at that time – 12th century) & It was stolen. St. Anthony prayed for it to be found. The book was stolen by a thief. Soon after his prayer for the book to be recovered, events occurred that the thief was found & the book returned. It was really a miracle. From then on, St. Francis became the saint of things lost & things recovered. That book of Psalms is preserved in the Franciscan monastery at Bologna.

Venus/Saturn today (Leo/Pisces). They are inconjunct.
Their elements don’t work well together – fire & water – creates a steamy foggy situation. Again, as we study the Rays….what rays bring Pisces & Leo together? I have asked this before. Who knows? Who will answer? This is our College & Temple of the Study of Astrology & the Wisdom Teachings. Astrology study builds the many levels of the mind so we can comprehend both ourselves, each other, our history, the cosmos and how it’s all put together.

Prayer to St. Anthony
Prayer to Saint Anthony for Lost Items
St. Anthony,, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find what has been lost.

[Mention the need ]

Restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss. I ask another of you: that I may always remain in a state of Goodwill. Let me never lost the supreme good within me. St. Anthony, helper in all necessities, please help me in all ways, so that I too may help others. Amen.

Education as Sacrament, as sacred, as Sacramental.
Education as steps toward Initiation.
Education of the child, the young adult, the adult.
Beginning with the education of the child.
A new perspecive.
Teachers teaching all subjects AS sacred, foundation of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings.
Consider the new Teacher Training School.
With this concept of Education as sacred, a sacramental.
We consider this & keep this in mind.
Each parent should begin to think along these lines.
For the education of their children.
Each teacher too.

In our school/college – the foundation always being Astrology.
As the seeker enters the Temple, above the door –
“Seeker, Know Thyself”.
Astrology study with one’s chart is the alchemical equation of how one “knows the self/Self.”

Today, Sunday, June 11, 2023.
Gemini Sun – information illuminated.

Mercury (4) trines Pluto (Taurus the illuminator, Capricorn (1, 3, 7) the Initiation) as Pluto (1) retrograde re-enters Capricorn.
Capricorn – Sign of Initiation. Disciples standing on the mountaintop in Light Supernal.
Disciples thru study & application of the Wisdom Teachings, becoming Unicorns – the Ajna Center filled with Diamond Light.

Wisdom unfolds itself through seekers who become Disciples & Initiates – who function under the direction of the Soul – thus living as Souls. Wisdom cannot be learned in classrooms solely thru the gathering of knowledge by the intellect. Knowledge needs to be lived & applied in daily life and that needs
firm resolve (will, willingness). Gradually thru this livingness of the Teachings, Wisdom emerges.

Disciples & Initiates are to live the Ageless Wisdom teachings, bringing them into manifold form. Living together in community, in the Temple Ashram. On land together. Under the Light of the Sun.

Pythagoras, in his wisdom school (he taught the ancient Hindu teaching, Indian teachings, which later became Greek & Egyptian teaching) on Croton, Italy (b. in Samos, Greece, 580 BC, the same time the Buddha existed, teaching His Four Noble Truths, preparing humanity for the Chris’s Appearance), taught the wisdom teachings to a large group of seekers and many of the students were women.

Although born in Samos, Greece, Pythagoras relocated to Croton (eastern Italy, Calabria). Jesus the Christ remarked that no prophet is recognized in his own land. Jesus was laughed at. Pythagoras, in his teachings on freedom & democracy in Samos, was resisted by the leaders of the time.

Pythagoras thus sailed to Croton & established a Wisdom School there. The foundation of the Wisdom Teachings is astrology.
Today, the study of astrology, the learning about the self, research into the blue books, daily intention, dedication, prayer, meditation, gratitude all help the student to
enter the Ageless Wisdom teachings. They are
expressed differently at different places and at different
times. The aim of the Wisdom teachings is to introduce the personality to the Soul & create a spiritual fusion between the teachings of the East & West.

The study of astrology offers students a beginning approach to the Wisdom teachings & to wisdom (of the self). The purpose of the posts here is to help the many seekers of Truth in multiple ways.

We dedicate this (our) group work here on FB to all the Masters & Teachers thru all the Ages – & thus we all sit at the “feet of the One Master.”
We thus all become the “Ones who follow the Path”.
Jesus the Christ, when he was teaching for his three years on Earth, also taught the Wisdom Teachings (thru parables & thru His actions). He was speaking the Eternal Wisdom, which belongs to no one & to everyone. Zoroaster, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Pythagoras, Christ Jesus (All major Teachers are Universal Souls) – all taught the same Wisdom Teachings, adapted to the developmental stages of humanity at the time of their appearances.

The Christ said when teachings His Disciples…
‘When I was with you before, don’t you remember my telling you that everything written about me by Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must all come true?”
(Gospel according to Luke 24 : 44.)

Sacramental Teachings
The teaching of literacy, of mathematics, geography, history (real true history of humanity’s states of coming to consciousness thru all its developmental stage), of art, of calligraphy, of archery, of music, of astrology, of science (true/real science), etc…..
these are sacred sacramental teachings.

Sacred Teachings
They are “Initiatory Teachings” – the reality of which are now lost to most in our dark kali yuga world However, should a real teacher understand these words, that teaching a child in the arts of literacy of all subject, the real teacher realizes that this is a sacred art, a sacramental art, the beginnings of the Initiatory process in a child (or whomever, at whatever age, a Teaching is teaching). A true Teacher is to become a Master (mastering the art of Teaching) of Wisdom. That now, in our times of the destruction of education, is a challenge & an invitation to all teachers in our world.

Vision
We have as a vision to establish another Croton, another community wherein the seeker/students live with the Teachers, as they did during Pythagoras’s time. Where the Teachers, having accepted the seeker/disciples, live among the students. Life itself of daily-ness becomes the Teachings. After their studies, the students then become the “new Teachers for the new era/world of Aquarius.” And go out into the world in Service.
