Anyone who looks at this corona crisis with a critical eye is gradually becoming speechless. The first wave was over and we endured it, no matter how. Above all, we endured the extreme measures, the consequences of which we still have to learn to bear. For a moment there seemed to be a rest period, but soon there were reports of... read more...
In 1916 Rudolf Steiner foresaw what is being realized in our time. Science is not only evidence based, but also consensus-based. And a scientist who doesn’t join this consensus will not be recognized as a reliable scientist. His or her voice should not be heard.... read more...
If we, ash unman beings, would not be able to experience the truth individually, if all thought were subjective, as Bacon taught us with his four groups of idols in the life of thought, then there would have to be a communicative system through which it would be possible to arrive at impulses for action, with which the majority ... read more...

In his prophecy about the near future Steiner gave three warnings about what will happen if we remain asleep to the work of the angels in our astral body. In the first he described were the changes in the area of the will, through which not brotherhood but a fight between people would arise, one human being against another human... read more...
What would happen if we didn't want to wake up for these ideas, if we slept on and on and let the angels do their work without us knowing it?... read more...
