    The work of the Angels in our Soul

    This time I quote Rudolf Steiner, from a lecture in GA 182. In this lecture the threefold ideal of the human being is given, and with the clairvoyant thinking it is seen where this ideal has its origin.  I have made some small textual adjustments to assist contemporary readers.... read more...

    Between Ascension Day and Pentecoast

    Between Ascension Day and Pentecost, a different theme than Corona may well be touched on, although according to the word it fits well with Pentecost. In the Apocalypse, the letter to Philadelphia says: "Behold, I am coming soon; hold what you have, that no one may take your crown. (Revelation 3:11)... read more...

    Vermin?

    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...

    Learning

    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...

    The number

    In the spring of 2019 I published a booklet, only in Dutch, The Secret of Number. In it, I took considerable trouble to immerse myself in the essence of number. I had to study Pythagoras, Plato and Boethius. And again I felt strongly how powerless our intellect is when compared to the insight of these ancient thinkers. Who still... read more...

    Faith

    An elderly gentleman came to the surgery in The Hague more often, and we had the opportunity to have reflections on life. He was a real estate agent by profession, was a lot older than I was, and he said: The world has become a warehouse without an emergency exit. He probably found that emergency exit by now. The question is whe... read more...

    Experience

    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. That's why one has to pay attention to the changes that happen to one's perceptions: Where was I yesterday... read more...

    The first question

    For the time being, the fundamental right to freedom of expression still exists and has not yet reached the point where it is forbidden to question certain corona ideas on public health grounds — although warnings may appear on the Internet when visiting certain websites&... read more...

    Numbers and figures

    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...

    Public opinion - 2

    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...
