  Once (long before I was asked to give a number of seminars on this theme in Bruges) I decided to write a novel for each of the twelve worldviews — as described by Rudolf Steiner in his lectures in GA 151, Der menschliche und der kosmische Gedankeread more...

  This time I want to take a different perspective. In the past weeks an image has been created of the human being as a being that can only defend itself passively. Keeping distance, wearing mouth caps, avoiding contact and so on. There is an attacker, and we can only meaningfully prevent our perishing by keeping that attacker at ... read more...

  In times of crisis, one must ask oneself, at least daily, what is actually happening to oneself. I mean that a lot is happening in the world, that's obvious, but one would also like to find a relationship to it.

  In this week, while preparing ourselves for Eastern, I want to forget Corona for a little while. I will return to the subject next week. As a summary however there is the poem of Novalis, from his novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen. Novalis was a scientist.... read more...

  When Rudolf Steiner was still a young man, he received two tasks from a great initiate: The first was to assume the role of the dragon of natural science — that is, to get to know natural science from within and then find spirituality there. The second was to fathom the bull of p... read more...

  So now we have assumed that there really is a pandemic. Whatever you want to call it, there is a type of flu worldwide, a viral infection caused by a corona virus, which can lead to serious complications, namely double pneumonia, which is a threat especially to old and already sick people.
