Edith Maryon. She was already a recognized artist was before she came to the anthroposophical movement. For me it is rather a mysterious person, because Steiner had a very different relationship to it as to Marie Steiner to Ita Wegman. M. Wegman and Steiner are different, but the two women were treated by Steiner, in a sense as equal partners. They acted independently in their areas. But Maryon?
Maryon is a personality in the anthroposophical movement, without which the momentum of the first Goetheanum was not realized. Their fate has to do strictly with the first Goetheanum and its fire, so she was very ill after the fire and since then no more could be really healthy. She died in May 1924. She had a long illness. She was medically treated by Ita Wegman.
Zeylmans Emanuel wrote, Edith Maryon had a great personality have been. When I read it, it reminded me of my impression of the correspondence (GA 263 / 1) between Steiner and Mayron. A long time ago, I read it and had a very strange feeling, so that his relationship with her for himself did not have to have been so easy. But I then pursued further. Only one question remained for me: Steiner often discussed why the secular materialism or at Maryon? I knew not at first. She's a student of him and why he has to talk to her about the problems of materialism so often? What does this mean? This must also be with the person of Edith Mayrton have to do anyway.
Before I quote a speech by Steiner about it, I would like to start on some aspects in relation the fateful position at that time Anthroposophy and Steiner's show.
In the anthroposophic movement finally came together people from diverse karmic tendencies. The threads of fate are very complicated and multidimensional. One reason for that I have written in the last article in connection with Catholicism. Some or many of Steiner's anthroposophy during his lifetime were important individualities in their earlier life had been. Steiner himself has pointed out in a karma-talk. Such seen mentally very important people came in with their particular skills and perspectives in the anthroposophical movement. Steiner had a problem in the sense of intellectual Michael School, the fate of different currents, which had their origin in various mysteries currents to merge, so that they could be fertilized by the modern Christ impulse. But he was unlikely much time and energy. Before he had done this work vigorously, he could not take the actual task, the subject of karma, really. That was his suffering that was connected to his fate. Much he had to sacrifice for his mission.
Many former anthroposophists were extremely competent and talented people, so that they brought with them from their former life important and precious fruits of their karma and mysteries currents. But no one could then her dowry in the modern sense of the Christ impulse fertilize as Steiner. There was a problem. Z umerous great personalities gathered in the anthroposophical movement and wanted to renew their fruit for the coming age. Of which also depended the future of their mysteries currents and the development of mankind, to some degrees. But it was Steiner then the only one who knew the way full, as the fruit could be related to the conversion. This was an incredible concentration on his person. This attitude caused a tremendous reverence for anthroposophists. You the reason were so fixed on him alone. It must have been exhausting themselves to have to do with the great personalities who had already secured their own direction in her former life for Steiner. They brought him some e ntgegen with which Steiner had to be done to make it in the modern Christ impulse that was alive in him, always transforming. The work has obviously not done it alone, the person was himself involved in it, but he had only run it in the right direction. It was the job that he was mentally.
He also had shall concern that the anthroposophists coped with each other. Because the karmic threads were complicated, people have often not mutually understood. Everyone said, The other has to understand me. I'm not wrong. The other has done wrong. Man threw the other in front of his mistake and it did not stop. It was expected that the other one belongs to and takes his own thesis. But in such a strong expectation can be no fruitful discussion and free. They want to convince the other in a conversation on one's views. But out of such discussions that ignore the liberal views and the volitional willingness of the other, shows no real common understanding. Such situations not only one of the intellect and master of the good will out.
There were not many simple compounds fate anthroposophists. They had to compensate for Steiner. Has been used for much of his time. He was there to demand more, because he almost had to do this work alone. This situation can be studied most clearly in the arguments before the Christmas meeting in Stuttgart. People came together not in Stuttgart and he accompanied her very tight, but already he was very overwhelmed. But he just could not some people choose for themselves and throw out some. It must have been his mission that he people who came to him by destiny record, had, whether it was easy for him or not. For the anthroposophists their work meant within anthroposophy intense sacrificial, by which they are sometimes very heavily overburdened. They had to be converting from Steiner fruit. It was sometimes very difficult for them. Their suffering is really something that breaks your heart.
Many thought into this process of transformation that they have failed. These feelings are still living in the anthroposophical movement. it is not something that we should now urgently cured by a healthy self-love is?
The thoughts and feelings: Steiner has exclusive rights, we have failed and mean nothing to him. We can do nothing right. He died because we are not good enough goods, we were too slow.
generate such thoughts and feelings not the prevailing mood of the soul in man , for example, humiliation, weakness of will, lack of independence and self-esteem, hopelessness always in the mind causes all over again? Such sentiment prevented the natural development today. She was entitled to a limited sense as a natural reaction because not only stones but also the Anthroposophists a certain order of the spiritual world had taken before coming to earth.
But is such a soul mood today is still valid and necessary? If so, how it is still good? It prevents the growth of the independent Christ impulse in the individual. Many who have then taken part in the development of anthroposophy must still bear this wound in their souls, for they had not had a chance in life to process it enough. You are most likely related to this wound again on the ground. And the other People take from them this mood.
Should not be healed this heavy soul and brightens mood, so that the soul can breathe free again, fresh and alive? I think d he waits wound in her heart to heal. We can redeem ourselves in that we overcome this eternal crucifixion of Anthroposophy-being and so stop again as Anfortas old pain we inflict.
If the anthroposophists today still day u nd night the Michael feel against strict duty as his colleagues, even without the rest? Or should or should today's profound love of Christ, which he always flows to the people, take heart and thereby revive the soul and heal again?
For the above reason everything fell apart just after Steiner died. No one could precisely this role of the "sun" taking the illuminated all flows with the same light and can be divided into one unit. As people were overwhelmed after his death.
I think it's good that we are not with us today Rudolf Steiner more than a living people with flesh and blood. We have it in his books and elsewhere in the world. He is physically gone. No matter how long we wait for him, he never comes back as Rudolf Steiner. Even if his individuality comes back, she will tackle the work other than Steiner. The situation today is much more freely leave off than then. And people have developed within it the germ of the Christ impulse much stronger. The consciousness of self has evolved. And we should now all we have a lot of independent transform through the Christ impulse within us.
In the next article I continue the topic and go on an Edith Mayron.
