Ordeal of the spirit

One of the necessary exercises for every person who wants to go beyond the soul’s natural predisposition is positivity. We need it very much when we are dealing with technical development in the future. Negativity does come naturally, it is not difficult to panic in view of this development, or at least to have a […]

The human being and 5G

It is a terrifying view of the world to see the development of a technique as early as the third millennium, which establishes the possibility of enclosing the earth in an electromagnetic harness and of keeping the earth in that confinement. You can imagine it: an electromagnetic corset around the earth that closes it off […]

5G

Gradually the world wakes up to the introduction of 5G. So much has been published about it that it is almost impossible to escape the awareness of 5G. It is also discussed in anthroposophical journals. An interesting article by Jeremy Naydler appeared in the September issue of ‘Der Europäer’, and there was also a contribution […]

Touching

Rudolf Steiner:‘The I is freely able to become active of itself, and therefore it can also produce the category of cognition through self-determination; in the rest of the world, by objective necessity the categories are connected with the given corresponding to them. It must be the task of ethics and metaphysics to investigate the nature […]

Michael

As we return to our body now, after summertime, we join the nature of our own body. We can feel now the nearness of mother nature, for we are part of her in so far as we are incarnated. The willpower bears her, it is said here. So we should not imagine that nature bears […]

Michael and speech

“So it is with Michael. He also sternly rejects all separating elements, such as the human languages. So long as we only clothe our knowledge in these languages, and do not carry it right up into the thoughts, we cannot come near Michael. Therefore, today in the spiritual world there is a very significant battle. […]

Activity

When we are in nature and hope that she will tell us something more about herself than we can perceive and think so directly, we may also hope that we can simply turn off our thinking and that she will then speak to us. And perhaps ‘something’ also speaks when we can get into a […]

Raimundus from Sabunda

In the 1924 lecture on Raimundus from Sabunda, Rudolf Steiner does explain how reading in the book of nature could be developed. Only he doesn’t say it like in a textbook, but he does say it anyway: ‘Raimundus of Sabunda reminded us how once in the Sephirotbaum, in the Aristotelian categories, in those general concepts […]

Reading in the Book of Nature

We can learn to imagine how in Greek times nature still revealed its living activity to man, whenever he made observations in nature. The stronger we try to imagine this process, the more clearly we experience how we are in a apparently mindless and soulless nature in our time. The longing for the perception of […]

Reflection

The purer and more majestic nature around us is, the more painful we feel the distance that ordinary consciousness creates between us and this grandiose nature. We can’t conceive the essence of nature at all, it’s outside of us whenever we want to get close to it… So shouldn’t everyone have to experience the question: […]
