  Our inner life is constantly deepened when we send will — our own inherent force — into our thinking, when we permeate our thinking with will. We bring will into thinking and thereby attain freedom. As we gradually perfect our actions we finally succeed in sending thoughts into these actions; we irradiate our actions... read more...

  Dionysius Areopagita is said to have been a judge at the Areopagus in Athens, where he heard a speech by the apostle Paul. He became his apprentice. He himself became the teacher of ethereal astronomy, which is the teaching of the Nine Celestial Hierarchies, and he came to an explanation of the Divine Names and the Divine Words.... read more...

  The uninvited guest who comes in drunk and after the guest meal is Alcibiades. He complains about Socrates, but also praises him in all the keys. He complains about the fact that Socrates could in no way be seduced into a physical love game, as a result of which Alcibiades became the rejected lover...... read more...

  Love is the meaning of the earth's development... Who could put that into words. Who could find exercises in love? How should you give an understanding of love? The apostle and evangelist John says: "Children, love eachother! But what does that mean?... read more...

  In the Middle Ages the School of Chartres flourished, where great religious scholars lived with the Platonic and Pythagorean idea that the mediation between God and the world lies in mathematics, especially in the principles of geometry, but these are also determined by the concept of 'size', which is an arithmetic conce... read more...

  When visiting the cathedral, we first tried to experience the West Portal, the famous royal portal. As you enter the cathedral, you enter the gate of the New Jerusalem. But if we want to experience a reality, that is not the right entry. For the human being is far from perfect enough to present a similarity with the apocalyptic ... read more...

  It is a very special experience to see how a spiritual doctrine, which was part of the spirituality of Europe, has become a formed structure, a cathedral. What was expressed in Dante's 'Divine Comedy' in poetic words has here in all its miraculous pythagorean wisdom of proportions been built in stone. It is because o... read more...

  On the eve of the seminar around and in the Cathedral of Chartres, Notre Dame de Paris caught fire and partly burned down. We were already in Chartres and sympathized with the French and worldwide emotions. The cathedral in Chartres, also a Notre Dame, mourned her sister with two intense chimings of the bells. In the days that f... read more...

  Rudolf Steiner describes this creation out of nothing in such a way that everything that we recognize through logical thinking and that goes beyond the necessary knowledge actually is a creation out of nothing. He gives the example that something has been stolen and one has an idea about who the thief is. One can remain entirely... read more...

  A good example is the church with the priest and the faithful people in the radioactively contaminated area of Chernobyl. This area would be uninhabitable for 20,000 years, and it would take that long for the radioactive radiation there to drop to harmless levels. In the meantime, however, a religious community has settled in Ch... read more...
