Greetings to all of you who participate,
I like to hear from you and Hope to share with you al of our thoughts and reflections.
I am sure the Virtues will come to the surface as soon you start to give words to that all that is alive within your own connection.

Jolijt

A virtue born out of God Power to me is taking a stand for. . . . ! To stand for right and righteousness (or other principles). If you choose or feel the urge to do this, you will definitely feel Gods Power flowing through you. And you can feel his confirmation.
I feel it is one of the highest possible forms to express yourself and to take / or occupy your place in the whole of Gods universe.

Tune, husband of Jolijt

The virtues that flow forth through God-power can be identified and experienced in myriad ways. Each of us has our own attunement to them and our way of experiencing them. Jolijt and her husband, Tune, in Holland, have shared aspects of God-power that they are seeing in a new way as virtues: enlightened will, God-direction, attunement, Self-awareness, the courage to start or start over, and righteousness.
I think of virtues as frequencies of God, vibrations of God, dimensions of God, colors of God, that we can attune to consciously at any moment that they are required in our own life or the lives of others, and even in world events. We can experience them within our beings and can also ray them forth from our hearts, our chakras, towards anyone, anything, any situation.
I see power is a primordial God-quality, the impetus of God’s energy, nested within our heart flame, along with love and wisdom. Virtues I feel flowing forth in God-power include direction, initiative, effort, persistence, fortitude, majesty, and will.
During our first class, we discussed power in terms of leadership, and the virtues that we associate with a true leader, or enlightened leadership. Class participants named many virtues – about 25!
Let us reflect on our initial promptings and refine the list. Can we agree on twelve that best represent our understanding of leadership? Are some of the virtues we mentioned more closely associated with another line on the clock? Our goal is to identify the 144 virtues!
Here is the full list of the virtues named during the sharing in Class One:
Humility, courage, passion, integrity, vision, temperance, honesty, strength, approval, praise, discernment, decisiveness, intuition, clarity, receptivity, proactiveness, majesty, commitment, perseverance, caring, authenticity, fatherliness, sincerity, responsibility, altruism.
What are your thoughts?

May I express my thoughts (as best as possible)?

What I feel is that the virtues (the 12 within the 12) can not really be identified in a cognitive or associative way.
Yes, it can be very helpfull to identify them in terms of leadership and in terms of qualities associated with true leadership or enlightened leadership. But the Virtues themselves to me are states of Being that cannot be identified in a cognitive way. They need to be experienced and they need to be felt.
(In my own language I call it 'Zijnshoedanigheden', but I don’t no the English word for it: something like spherical awareness? Ways of being?). They unfold themselves naturally everytime you feel empowered by the quality of God-Power.
Association itself can give some reverance, but there is a far greater reverance within our own heart. For years now I am familiar, when I wish to explore things, to tune into my heart and abide there. In this way my heart is able to use all of my senses to come to a deeper attunement, alignment and inner understanding of the depths of being.
My impression (meditating on the Magnet of Fire, the gift of beloved Virtue) is that the Virtues are destined to find expression within each one of us in a very authentic, personal way. This has everything to do with the full flowering or blossoming of our souls. Yes, there are the 12 within the 12 to be explored, to come to know, to come to understand. But we as individuals, being present in the Now, enlightened by the Now, are destined to ad our own color, our own variegations, our own authentic tones to it as well.
We are destined to personalize the Virtues in our own authentic way and ray to the fullest of its potential and our potential.

This is why I think it is important to also ad music and musical meditations to all classes.

Below a small poem, inspired by the Magnet of Fire.

May all that is precious to me ——
All that is dear to me
All that is near to me
Be expressed
And find expression
In the Way I AM
And the Ray I AM

What I discern as virtues of God-Power:

♦ Self Consciousness —
The conscious awareness of one Self in God or God’s consciousness.
The power to know yourself as the I AM, as Above so below.

♦ The enlightened Will —
In contact with and enlightened by the I AM.
Great willingness to serve and able to attune to the need of the Hour.
Steers the course in an enligthened way.

♦ The Courage to start / or start all over —
Knowing that every beginning is in God.
And because this is so, it is also always possible to start all over, anytime, anyhow.

♦ To stand for . . . . or to take a stand —
(for example: for right use of energy or other principles that need to be defended.
The inner power or courage to stand for — in the name I AM — is the Virtue.
After this you can fill in what is needed or discern the need of the hour.

♥ Characteristics:
- Characteristic to me is that every Virtue in itself has the potential to Embrace the total (spherically).
- All virtues are profoundly connected with soul expression. Through soul expressivity and soulfullness we become the radiating, emanating virtues ones.
