 May I assume that your Network M is for the “young at heart”?
When I first heard about it from Matthew Temple, I was intrigued by it. Not knowing quite what the M stood for, I related it to the 10 years I spent in South Africa, where I had to add Many extra pages in my address book for the letter M because most names of the black friends started with M.
It is worthwhile to think a moment about that mysterious letter M. The first word out of a baby’s mouth mostly is Mama. The words Man and Woman have not only the M but also the N in it. Like in the work Money. Life is all about Giving (M) and Taking (N), whereby the M is more an expression of
Sympathy and the N of Antipathy.
These were my first thoughts before I heard that the M in Network M actually stands for Michael. I was very enthusiastic about the fact that many of us may have the opportunity to find Michael on the internet.
I have had the privilege of growing up with the concepts of angels and of angel hierarchies. But I, somehow, also brought this knowledge with me, especially the fact that I could always call on the Archangel Michael. Growing up one goes through phases where one might feel very alone and abandoned. I specially sought out these kinds of experiences like living as a white woman in a black neighborhood. Or, doing Eurythmy and counseling in prisons with male prisoners only. Or, being then married in 1980 and remarried in 2002 to one of the people I counseled then. That person is supposed to come “home” to me after having spent a total of 33 years in prison. It is not going to be easy, but I know I can now, as in all the other situations, always count on Michael. So does my husband.
“O Michael,
I give myself into your protection
And connect myself with your guidance
With all my heart
So that my day may become an imprint
Of your destiny-ordering Being."
Isn’t that what we need: the possibility that order can be brought into the destiny of mankind, by trying to realize this first in ourselves?
If anybody feels touched by my words, I would love that person (those people) to respond, either through Network M or contact me directly (Truus Geraets at

). What one can do together is so much more than what one can do alone. I have taken on a task way to big for this 78 year young person. If you care to look at our website www.waldorfafrica.org you will know what I am talking about.
Thank you for letting me chip in a few words.
