Our Midweek Muse (Number 58!): "A fundamental sociological question in the understanding of any group has to do with the question of how does the group hang together? What gives it order and stability?” Extract from a paper based on research conducted by Al McLeod from California State University Fresno, California during his visit in 1977 to the Findhorn Foundation Community, entitled Findhorn, Fact or Fiction? A Sociological Study of a Scottish Intentional Community:

Editor’s Note: the following is a paper based on research conducted by Al McLeod from California State University Fresno, California during his visit in 1977 to the Findhorn Foundation Community.

Our Saturday Snippet Number 58! ANOTHER Snippet of Wisdom from Community Cofounder Peter Caddy in The Rosicrucian Tradition: “You possess within the Soul the possibility of all knowledge. What you are, all men are. You can obtain nothing from them; you can give them nothing. What is the object of the incarnation in the flesh, of this Soul that you are? This possibility that you are is daily manifesting. Each day you are living more in the conscious objective life. You are more aware of what you really are here to unfold.” Peter Caddy from Soul Science, The Rosicrucian Lectures of Aureolis, Volume 1 of 3: https://celebratingoneincrediblefamily.org/saturday-snippets-58

SOUL SCIENCE The Rosicrucian Lectures of Aureolis Volume 1 of 3 During the early years of the second world war Peter Caddy received a series of thirteen lectures as a correspondence course from his Rosicrucian teacher, Dr George Sullivan (Aureolis). Dr Sullivan was Supreme Magus or chief of the Rosi...

Words of Wisdom from Community Cofounder Peter Caddy through The Rosicrician Tradition: “Realising that feeling (emotion) is the primal manifestation of life, you will seek to know what causes you to feel, what causes emotion in you. Soon will it dawn upon you that your feelings are all primarily caused by something outside yourself. You feel because something awakens a sensation in you. You realise that you can think of that sensation and repeat it. All of your feelings arise first from without and are repeated by memory, by your thoughts. A pain caused by an unkind word can, long after it has passed away, be recalled by thinking of it; so can a pleasure. When you learn not to think of unpleasant things that have happened to you, they will not pain you.” Peter Caddy from Soul Science, The Rosicrucian Lectures of Aureolis, Volume 1 of 3:

Saturday Snippet Number 57! “The final attunement was a great moment of celebration, and on this occasion we encouraged the Community to come and join us. Over a hundred people joined the builders and our team as we stood in a circle around our first eco-house, first in silent contemplation and then to raise a loud cheer for the builders.

It was just one house, but it was pioneering. We had not just built our first eco-house, but we had created the first breathing wall eco-house of its kind in the UK, battling the authorities to get permission to build it. We had started building the Ecovillage.”
Patrick Nash:

From 1989 to 1995 I worked on the early development of the Findhorn Ecovillage. In the early days we ran a series of building schools that taught groups of students building skills over a three week period while building a house largely from scratch. This is my story of the first building school in....

Our Midweek Muse:
“Let us consider the nature of creativity. What actually happens when we create?
What is happening up at the pottery and the weaving studio and the craft buildings?
What is happening throughout the garden, especially now that the garden is going into its winter season? Is there a loss of life? Is there a phasing-out of energy? Is there a decrease of existence?” David Spangler. Extracts from Autumn: The Festival Of Transformation, from the ebook Festivals In The New Age.

Festivals In The New Age by David Spangler was published by the Findhorn Foundation in 1975. Most of the material in this ebook represents information shared by David Spangler with the Community during the years 1970 to 1973. "Every moment is a celebration of the festival of living."

Saturday Snippet: “In ancient days, the cultures that Man created often celebrated great festivals, times when the community would come together in a collective act of worship, of joy and of symbolic ritual.

The early festivals were nature oriented. They were geared to the two equinoxes of spring and autumn and to the solstices of winter and summer, and in each of these festivals recognition was made of the particular quality of characteristic which that period of time represented in the cyclic and rhythmic life of Earth and its natural kingdoms.” David Spangler.

Our Midweek Muse: “In the end the lesson for me was, first and foremost, to do what’s right in front of you as perfectly as you can and enjoy it. That, for me, has been the key to manifestation. As a community, we seem recently to have lost sight of that simple truth. We’ve expanded all over the place into houses and programs and projects while spreading our consciousness too thinly. We’ve always said it’s our principle to finish thoroughly and perfectly what we start before moving on to anything else.”
