  Wat Die Mistici Weet 5) Hemel op aarde “Want deur Hom leef ons, beweeg ons en bestaan ons.....” ‭‭Handelinge‬ ‭17‬:‭28‬ ‭AFR20‬‬                          Jakob het wakker geskrik en gesê:  “Die Here is op hierdie plek, en ek het dit nie besef nie.  ......dit is die poort van die hemel.” ‭‭Gen 28:16-17‬ ‭AFR83‬‬                                  “.....want kyk, die koninkryk van God is binne-in julle.” ‭‭Lukas‬ ‭17‬:‭21‬ ‭AFR20‬‬                                   Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek "....die ganse dag is ene God." Jan Swanepoel "...hy weet nie van afsondering nie sit nie skilderagtig geraam in die hemel nie hy is oral..."                              ...

  What The Mystics Know 4) The Mystical Journey Is A Journey Of Paradoxes “Those who find their life will lose it,  and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” ‭‭Matteus‬ ‭10‬:‭39‬ ‭NRSV       ‬‬ “All who exalt themselves will be humbled,  and all who humble themselves will be exalted.” ‭‭Matthew23‬:‭12‬ ‭NRSV     ‬‬ “Therefore I am content  with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities  for the sake of Christ;  for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭NRSV               ‬‬ The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music "Bittersweet music is the sound of the soul stretching toward the light, even in the darkest moments." Susan Cain                                "Bittersweet" is in itself a paradox. As always, with our love. George & Matilda

  Wat Die Mistici Weet 4) Die Mistieke Pad Is 'n Pad van Paradokse “Wie sy lewe behou, sal dit verloor, en wie sy lewe ter wille van My verloor, sal dit behou.” ‭‭Matteus‬ ‭10‬:‭39‬ ‭AFR20‬‬ “Wie homself verhef, sal verneder word, en wie homself verneder, sal verhef word.” ‭‭Matteus‬ ‭23‬:‭12‬ ‭AFR20‬‬ “Ter wille van Christus verheug ek my in swakhede, beledigings, ontberings, vervolgings en benoudhede; want wanneer ek swak is, juis dan is ek sterk.” ‭‭2 Korinthiërs‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭AFR20‬‬ Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek "Bittersweet music is the sound of the soul stretching toward the light, even in the darkest moments." Susan Cain                                "Bittersoet" is op sigself 'n paradoks. Soos altyd, met ons liefde. George & Matilda

Wakkerstroom Classical Music Festival 2025 20 - 23 March 2025 “He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;  he suspends the earth over nothing.  He wraps up the waters in his clouds,  yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.  He covers the face of the full moon,  spreading his clouds over it.  He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters  for a boundary between light and darkness.  The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.  By his power he churned up the sea;  by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.  By his breath the skies became fair;  his hand pierced the gliding serpent.  And these are but the outer fringe of his works;  how faint the whisper we hear of him!  Who then can understand the thunder of his power?” ‭‭Job ‭26‬:‭7‬-‭‭14‬ ‭NIV                              It is that time of year again! Autumn is...

Wakkerstroom Klassieke Musiekfees 2025 20 - 23 Maart 2025 “God sprei die hemel uit oor die leë ruimte,  Hy laat die aarde hang waar niks is nie.  Hy versamel die water in die wolke, en hulle skeur nie onder die las nie.  Hy plaas die horison op die see,  'n grens tussen lig en donker.  Dit is maar die begin van sy dade,  ons hoor net die gefluister van sy woorde.  Maar die volle krag van sy dade, wie kan dit verstaan?” ‭‭Job ‭26‬:‭7‬-‭8‬, ‭10‬, ‭14‬ ‭AFR83‬‬                           Dit is weer daardie tyd van die jaar!
