first The one-sidedness of the Abel- flow - The overemphasis on the authority of faith and the horror of sin and guilt. The universal love of Christ in the human soul, which overcomes these tendencies.
The polarization is certainly not a new trend in the anthroposophical movement. But the increase of the polar forces of Abel and Cain was, in my opinion never led so clearly before our eyes today. Abel and Cain, water and fire - they represent two polar attitudes and qualities that can be united only in modern Rosicrucianism concrete.
And the polarization of the two forces provides us with dealing with the work of Steiner, in a non-light sample. However, d hese forces an expression of humanity's karma. Therefore, the polarization is of course also usually effective in the world.
A one-sided development of the Abel- water-principle is to my knowledge, for example in an increased belief in authority or to find a religious obedience , as they related to the pope in the sense of infallibility of his divine authority still p is raktiziert. The Abel-flow, which represents the water element, represents a precious quality to make it a vessel of the selfless spirit. Harden, however, and this trend is different from the middle, then it turns into an unhealthy "self-sacrifice." And just this self-abandonment is the background of the strong belief in authority to a person who, like a saint or a savior of the other person is strictly distinguished. within the anthroposophical movement, I see this tendency among followers of Judith von Halle.
The selflessness, in which one is committed to for a spiritual ideal, I think a wonderful feature of the German, which I appreciate. But it is this selflessness may increase also in a fanatical self-sacrifice and an extreme belief in authority, as in the second world war - in this respect are the Germans and the Japanese are remarkably similar - can their original strength, the disinterested and idealistic to serve the important become hazardous in the sense of self Verne Ines.
One seeks to focus development in the grace of God and wants to roll back free-reliance of individuals. Something that was authorized in a previous period of development in Central Europe, will be at the present time as well as it used to propagate further. The good in an earlier time is not good if it at a later time just turns up and brings to bear. This is a first principle of development. Also this trend I see most clearly in the publishing of anthroposophy and the supporters to Judith von Halle.
I have no intention, the momentum of the person of Judith from hall to deny all, because I understand so that they a flow - matter whether it has the anthroposophical tasks directly f ördernde or more anti-flow is because a flow that differs markedly from a main flow with, but the whole development of the anthroposophical movement in because some obstacles are necessary for genuine development necessarily - represented as the others their own tendencies and approaches represented. Also d he way they represent their historical perceptions around the birth, their free item.
But such a tendency I have both of her (especially in her book "Christ Encounters of the present" or in her article in the Goetheanum No. 45, 2010 on the Nahrungslosigkeit) as well as many supporters watching from her, I find questionable.
This is the kind of emphasizing the sacred and the Chosen in a growing reverence for entertainment and thus - whether they like it or not - even the not- sacred and the non-elect as a counterbalance to the negative.
In the article on the Nahrungslosigkeit the Goetheanum she mentions this man does not trigger further damn was forever to remain in the state in which one must accept the earthly food. This expression is not acceptable for me, because this is a blanket condemnation of earthly food intakes from a religious-moral interpretation out.
According to her, only that man as divine and holy, without their own effort of will than grace no earthly food more eats. someone reads this text, which normal food absorbs he feels in the a shame or guilt and fear and insecurity, to even query the moral quality of his own existence because of the interpretation of Judith von Halle inclusion of earthly food "degenerate" is. For me, creating such feelings is morally not okay because we do not live in Middle Ages. oday H weakens such a sense of guilt the ego of the individual.
The article will be ignored in my opinion an important spiritual fact that man just won by the fall of freedom and cognition. one evaluates onto flat ground, the food intake, then denied not only the act of the adversary, but also freedom and capacity for knowledge of humanity.
Rudolf Steiner was the one who just by demonstrating the important role of adversary to develop us from the spell of the old faith - we have fallen because of the adversary and all through the fall and were poor victim - has freed healing. The opponents have z not only led u a tragic fate, but we a wonderful gift of freedom given. This aspect is hugely liberating. This view saves man from a passive impotence and awakened in him the power of the ego - the affirmation of the past and the autonomy of each person .
The Christ is the one who refuses the gift or the adversary is not condemned - he builds on the contrary, on their way, so that the man again can rise to his intellectual level. It is not a regression, but to the advancement by the fall through. by Steiner's views on the adversary can start of the modern man to understand the essential Christ and the Manichean principle - are not adversaries or loathed only v be ermieden, but be transformed into a strong love of the human soul.
If one looks today very sacred, it loses the soul of love to the people. In a strong devotion and the search for something sacred but a love can be activated to the spirit, but not really love the people warm.
The separation of the Saint of the Saints formed non- the impression: it abhors the adversaries who want to destroy the sacred. Good and evil are in a S chwarz Weiss verdict strictly separated by a unifying. This kind of moral stance is contrary to my knowledge the current momentum of the ethereal Christ. The Heilig-veneration of the followers of Judith von Halle is not modern anymore. It calls forth a strong polarization in the world.
The ethereal Christ is the being that i m meaning of modern Manichean impulses s just the dark has integrated the shadow of the adversary for its conversion into the conscious. is indeed the essence of his second crucifixion in the ethereal world of the 19th Century. The ethereal Christ flows to the same love to all people , whether they appear holy or not, because there is no such difference before his universal love.
This is a distinctive feature of the ethereal Christ. He sends us all the strength for the true love that seeks harmony with sentimental or by the sheer friendliness has nothing to do z u. His love has a power to lift just above the sectarian division between the sacred and the non-saints. The Christ will now not the sacred, which abhors the non-divine, awaken in man, but the love that is not the old way of separation of the Saint of the - Holy aside, the separation of the elect from the non-elect can. The Christ picks up the old habit of mankind, the strict class distinction human depending on their supposed sanctity be maintained. G ERAD for the development of the powerful love of a man inside the autonomy needed in the high mass. You can get on without the filing of a strong belief in authority not materialize. The powerful love, which is caused by the action of Christ in the human soul, is higher than something sacred in the old sense, because this love is the ultimate goal of world development and is the true power of the resurrection itself
