this page here will serve as a public catalog for a few of the meditations that i have written in private, along with some brief commentary, on the being of memoria sophia.

i will try to update and refine this every month or so since this is almost like an ongoing project, but nonetheless i plan on sharing my rough thought-process towards these topics. even if some of this is personal speculation.

to paint a heart-felt image before we begin, the themes behind these meditations include: ‘harmony,’ ‘humanity,’ ‘return,’ ‘remembrance,’ ‘forgetting,’ ‘real nature,’ ‘culture,’ ‘home,’ ‘world,’ ‘time,’ ‘future,’ and many more which invoke and incant the nature of memoria herself. again, work-in-progress.

hope this resonates, and inspires you to write your own meditations.

for those are HINTS to our own true nature.

forgetting

forgetting requires courage.

and forgetting is courage.

saturn is who makes us forget.

thrones is who teaches us courage.

and memoria is who brings us new remembrance.

–– 5 Mar 2026

in forgetting: remember!

and in reality: remember!

find memory, in terribleness.

remember!

–– 6 apr 2026

forget, in mind.

remember, in heart.

and see to it, in will.

–– 6 apr 2026

remember, in forgetfulness.

and remember forgetfulness as courage for future memory.

for the future, we shall forget old.

and in forgetfulness, we shall remember new.

newness in old.

–– 4 apr 2026

new context requires new memory from forgetting.

–– 4 apr 2026

forgetting is another form of memory.

we can never come into the new if we can never let go of the old.

the old has a role, however that role cannot be known without the new.

one day, we will consciously hold all memory (just like Saturn), and see to it that our memory becomes living physical and spiritual reality.

however today, we must learn to forget.

in relation to Rudolf Steiner’s I. Forgetting — GA 107. The Being of Man and His Future Evolutions

memoria sophia

in sophia, human.

in sophia, divine.

memory, in between.

memoria sophia.

human, in together spirit.

–– 5 apr 2026

memory is what keeps us together, no matter how far apart we are.

memory as harmony

harmony

face to face,

the four faces.

the four corners.

the fours.

memorize them.

members, come together!

–– 5 apr 2026

the impulse behind memory is the culmination of the 4-fold human constitution (physical, etheric, astral, ego); Ezekiel’s Vision (bull, lion, eagle, man), the four world zodiac (Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra), and the four corners on each side of the cube, or the material world.

memorization is the constant ‘link’ that never fails to remain together, and steadfast from any separation.

to remember means for our members to come together!

memory as the will-impulse of harmony, and of humanity.

spirit being in human being; remembered.

in boundary, and harmony out.

in together cherub, separate thrones memorized.

–– 5 apr 2026

this is in reference to the angelic or the spiritual hierarchies, taught by Rudolf Steiner and inspired by the western esotericism of Christianity.

the thrones (3rd rank), or saturn, as the beings behind our willpower represent the birth of humanity, and the cherubim (2nd rank) as the beings behind harmony represent the culmination of humanity and his four-fold nature.

also, the word ‘memory’ can be interchangeable with ‘harmony.’

let us memorize spirit in humanity through our egos, and through our minds, and through our hearts, and through our wills.

and let us memorize humanity in spirit through our wills, and through our hearts, and through our minds, and through our egos.

remember; in grounds, and up heights.

remember; within boundaries, and harmony without.

–– 4 apr 2026

i do not believe what i’ve wrote here is a paradox, for this points to the cycle of human evolution, in which is dual in nature (involution and evolution). we were born out of spirit as man, and now spirit must be reborn into us as man.

we are in a moment of time where we are in between this cycle, and can consciously perceive this scheme behind our human evolution.

this of course relates more specifically to the seven incarnations of the earth, and of humanity which Rudolf Steiner explicitly speaks about, which we are in the 5th.

boundary, and harmony

boundary is of becoming harmony.

–– 4 apr 2026

understand true boundary, and you shall understand true harmony.

“boundary on boundary, i come to find true harmony.

in me, and in other.

other as me.”

–– 4 apr 2026

man is about boundaries (Saturn).

and boundaries is what gives us an ‘i,’ and an understanding of the ‘other,’ which also gives us the capacity for true harmony when we can bring those boundaries together (Cherubim).

is that why we need so much conflict in our world?

will-history

let history be in your memory, and be in your hearts, and be in your will.

as humanity becoming of history.

so history becomes of humanity.

glorious world ones.

–– 4 apr 2026

memorize humanity and you shall memorize spirit.

will-history of present, past, future must be memorized.

in hearts.

–– 4 apr 2026

memory is the countless will of humanity.

history is what comprises of human will.

history-memory is what wills humanity.

–– 4 apr 2026

“may the hands of human history push me forward into the new future.”

–– 4 apr 2026

this introduces the idea that our history, and the conditions of the past and future directly influence our own willpower in the present, whether we are conscious of it or not.

no matter where we were, where we are, and where we are going, the forces of history will always be in our hearts, and for good. real history after all is the realization of human good-ness.

memory as 3-fold

will is informed, inspired, and intuited by memory.

and memory intuits, inspires, and informs.

memory is everything which will is.

memory of spirit beings will into human beings.

–– 4 apr 2026

memory leads the will, and the will leads to experience, and the experience leads to new memory, and new will.

will, world, and matter (from future)

will is the memory of the future, and the memory of the future man in spirit.

will can also be seen as the world.

will, and world is memory of future.

–– 28 mar 2026

the present and past is the will of the future.

memory is the will of the future.

will is also matter.

matter is memory.

and the forming of thought and feeling is memory.

memory of man must come to spirit.

and memory of spirit must come to man.

–– 28 mar 2026

from heights, to grounds up

“arise from the mud in which you have came from, and come to find yourself in the future in which had came from mud, and which had came to find me.”

–– 30 mar 2026

pure archetype, become.

real, individuality.

star being, on grounds.

struggle, for cosmic heights.

–– 12 apr 2026

many in human struggle; ‘i’ finds victory.

struggle is what makes ‘i’ human, and what makes human victory.

may ye struggle, into victory,

glorious spirit-human!

–– 6 apr 2026

remembrance, fortunately or unfortunately, requires experiencing and understanding the terrible struggles within our life, and our lower nature to which we have to overcome.

through that understanding may we find the context behind such struggles, and may we reach new spirit heights!


to be continued…

if you see this, that means we have reached the end for now.

i have lots left to learn and experience, so i must retreat away from this writing.

but as i learn and experience more, i will come back to add to this place.

for now, i think it is appropriate to end it with this:

“Not only was I born on earth,
but I was born to represent the being of earth.

Not only to be human,
but to carry, and carry out the spirit of being human.

Where are the scattered members?
I must collect them.

The people, the cultures, and the worldviews;
I desire to complete their story.

The story of our present, past, and future,
and the story of our humanity.

The story that makes us,
and makes us all.”
