Epiphany
On January the 6th it is the day of the three kings, who come from the East and travel, guided by a star, to the West to find the ‘light that everybody enlightens’ there. But it is also the day of the celebration of Epiphany, of the revelation. On this day Jesus was baptized in […]
Sylvester in Dornach, 1922-1923
Ita Wegman, who wrote down her memories of the event in her notebook in 1935: ‘You saw Dr. Steiner everywhere then; he was soon on the site, which he crossed in all directions, then he was in the carpentry workshop (Schreinerei), always with a deeply sad and earnest expression without excitement, fully aware of what […]
A Christmas Story
A long time ago, people knew a lot more than they know now… Today’s people think they are very smart and they actually are, but they don’t know much. In that time, a long time ago, for example, people still knew that we are connected to God and that what they knew expanded throughout human […]
Music
We dive deeper into the foreboding of the Christmas mystery. The famous composers have composed music to the Credo in their masses. I remember my being deeply touched when I realized that Bach, who was not a Catholic, had written music for the credo ‘Et credo (in) unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam’. There the […]
Advent
The more our mind becomes a ‘computer intellect’, the more difficult it becomes to perceive atmospheres related to the seasons and the annual celebrations. This intellect makes sure that the mood movements evoked by the changes in the course of the year are no longer experienced in the bright light of the day. During the […]
Thinking without the brain
When we look back to Krishna, Zarathustra, Adam Kadmon, we can see the images that point to an original ideal human being, who is ideal and original at the same time, and who has a perfect outer and inner shape. We can see it as a great cosmic example which was there in the beginning […]
The intuitive knowing experience of the I
In the quote from Rudolf Steiner’s autobiography last week, the distinction emerges between sensory perception, where we are sure of the being of the object as long as we have the perception of it, and I-perception, which is a continuity, and the experience in meditation can even give the certainty that it was there before […]
Knowing without using the physical body
If in my mind I live in conceptions which rest upon the sense-world, then, in my direct experience, I am in position to speak of the reality of what is experienced only so long as I confront with sense-observation a thing or an event. My sense assures me of the reality of what is observed […]
Undernature
One might wonder how this world will ever be able to conquerwhen the human beings do not appreciatetheirownquality and givethemselvescompletelyaway to a quality that they have createdbut that is no longertheirs. After all, we are gifted with reason and with will, and in between lies our experience, our feeling. The moment you realise that the […]
The being
As human beings we want to be independent and not be lived by AI. But we also don’t want to be put under tension by an invisible electromagnetic field. It turns out that many people are gullible and assume without a doubt that what is said about 5G by science and the government is correct, […]
