Rudolf Steiner delivered his last address to the Anthroposophical Society on the eve of Michaelmas 1924. He had spiritually laid the foundation stone of anthroposophy in the hearts of the Society's members forty weeks (9 months) earlier. Now, a new Anthroposophical impulse was to have been born in them. As Marie Steiner sadly recounted, there unfortunately was no one adequately prepared to fructify this impulse for humanity and carry it forward into action.
Thus, in his last address to the members before his death, Rudolf Steiner proclaimed the following Michaelmas verse as his deepest call to the Hierarchies and beckoning to humanity to take up this task.
Will you accept this mission?
Welcome, fellow Discordian and Kallistate!
This group is the perfect haven for you. We're all about embracing the beautifully absurd Discordian spirit while diving headfirst into the world of technology and innovation. It's a place where spirituality and science collide – think ceremonial magick merged with cutting-edge tech!
We're talking AI, cyberculture, and all the fascinating ways they intersect with our beloved Discordianism. Think of it as a digital playground for Erisian tricksters like us. What drew you to this curious corner of the universe?

Whilst we are asleep our ego and astral body are outside our physical and etheric body.
In fact, because of certain limitations which cosmic laws impose on us in the natural order of things, our ego and astral body are very close to our physical body and etheric body in a case like this, so that if we are ASLEEP on a TRAIN JOURNEY our ego and astral body are right inside all the rattling, rumbling and braking going on in the wheels and the engine of the train. And it is just the same on a modern steamer.
We are inside everything going on around us.
We are inside these not exactly musical experiences in our surroundings, and you need only have taken the very first steps in initiation to notice on waking up that when the ego returns with the astral body into the physical body and etheric body they bring with them what they experienced while they were being squeezed through the machinery, for they really were inside the moving machinery right up to the moment of waking.
We bring all this disharmonious squeezing and tearing back into our physical and etheric body, and if you have ever woken up with all the after-effects of what the engines of a steamer or a train have done to your ego and astral body, and bring that into your waking consciousness, you will notice how little it synchronises with what is going on within you in the way of a kind of experience the ego and the astral body have of the inner harmony of the physical and etheric body.
You do in fact bring back with you the wildest confusion, the most frightful din of pulling, screeching and rattling and if you are sensitive to it you will feel that the effect on the etheric body really is as though your physical body were being bruised and dismembered—which is, of course, a clumsy expression, but you will not misunderstand.
This is an absolutely unavoidable side-effect of modern life, and I want to give a word of warning right at the outset, as the kind of lecture I want to give today can very easily rouse what I would call theosophists' hidden arrogance, which flourishes very well here and there.
…Everything of the nature of withdrawing and PROTECTING oneself from the influences of all that we necessarily have to encounter as WORLD KARMA arises out of weakness.
But anthroposophy can only strengthen the human soul (Gemüt), and should develop those forces that inwardly strengthen and arm us against these influences.
Therefore, never within the compass of our spiritual movement could any kind of recommendation be given to cut oneself off from modern life, or to turn spiritual life into a kind of hothouse culture. This could never apply in the realm of true spiritual culture.

"We must say to ourselves, the beaver is an extremely stupid, phlegmatic animal! It is stupid and phlegmatic to the highest degree. Wonderful. But where does it spend the summer? It stays in the ground in its solitary burrow, allowing heat and light that comes into the burrow to penetrate its body, so that it actually absorbs all the summer sunlight and warmth. When this absorption is completed in the fall, the beaver begins to look for other beavers, and together they become clever. It employs a cleverness that it does not possess as a single animal. Now, suddenly, as they gather together, the beavers become clever. Naturally, as single animals they could never construct all those beaver villages. The first step of choosing a suitable site is already clever.
This clearly illustrates what I pointed out last time: the cleverness that is in a creature must first be gathered, just as water is collected in pitchers. What does the beaver do while as a single animal it lives like a hermit in its summer house? The beaver gathers sunlight and the sun's warmth for itself—or so we say, because all we can perceive is the sun's light and warmth. In truth, the beaver gathers its intelligence. Along with sunlight and warmth, intelligence streams from the cosmos down upon the earth, and the beaver gathers it for itself; now the beaver has it, and it builds. With the beaver you can see in reality what I recently presented to you as a picture.
Something else now becomes comprehensible: the beaver's tail. Compare it with what I said about the dog's tail, the dog's tail being its organ of pleasure and therefore the soul organ of the dog. The dog wags its tail when it is happy. In the beaver's case it is so that within its tail, which the animal does not use as a tool but which is formed most ingeniously, the beaver has its accumulated intelligence. With it the animal directs itself. This means that the beaver is really directed by the sun's warmth and light. They are contained in the tail and have become intelligence. This is really the communal brain of this beaver colony."

His face bears an expression that is most profoundly human and at the same time most highly spiritual. His free, high ,
slightly receding forehead is broad and of firm build , with tiny wrinkles, and with deep grooves above the nose. His black hair, higher on the right side and lower on the left , is combed backward in simple fashion. The tan colour of his skin seems to light up against the frame of black hair. One feels that behind such a forehead only the clearest, noblest, higher thoughts can dwell.
The eyes recede deeply under the shadow of the of the heavy brows. One might say that these eyes are dark brown, but that would tell very little of their true nature.How can we describe them? Sometimes they appear unfathomable. One looks into them as into an abyss, standing dazzled at the brink. At other times it is a depth like a dark night, when no stars are visible, yet their presence is felt. But most of the time the eyes are radiant with a warm light. A golden glow lives in their dark brown colour. An infinite goodness speaks out of them : A love for all creatures. They can also be searching and inquiring, as if wanting to penetrate into the very core of things. Then again they are twinkling with a mood of cheerfulness, or of friendly humour. There is a constant alteration between looking outward into nature, into the world, and looking inwards into those regions where the mysteries of life are revealed to the mind. A mystery of love and wisdom, of tenderness and strength, speaks out of these eyes. These are the eyes of a man who has discovered this mystery within himself and who has devoted his life to proclaiming it for the good of humanity.
The face as a whole derives a very pronounced character from the strikingly strong lines of the nose and mouth. The nose is almost straight and merges with the deep grooves and the many tiny wrinkles on both sides of the face. The mouth has a long , firmly shaped upper lip, slightly advanced with respect to the lower lip. Together with the broad but delicately moulded chin , the mouth conveys an impression of great but thoughtfully controlled strength, of a determined will born of the spirit.
How widely varies the expression of the face ! Sometimes one feels oneself to be standing in front of someone in the full strength of life, a mature person full of energy and practical sense; then it is an old man , a sage , filled with quite love for all that lives and suffers; then again a youth, inspired, glowing with holy fire .
Sometimes it happened that people who met Steiner for the first time would feel a certain disappointment. They had expected a "world reformer," a prophet with corresponding appearance and mien. Instead they found themselves via á vis this remarkable man with a quality of life that was constantly being reborn, who seemed to them now an artist, then a scientist, then again a priest , but who remained above all human, without pretence or simulation. This man lived out of the depth of the spirit. He wanted to see the spirit triumph, but in realms beyond the earth and humanity. He wanted to proclaim the spirit as that universal power which creates forms on the earth and likewise in the human mind. This universal spirit power has become manifest, in a way that anyone can understand, in the life and work of Rudolf Steiner. It has come into evidence too in the finest qualities of humanness in his person.
Rudolf Steiner! For thousands this name expresses the content of their lives. For thousands the encounter with him meant a new birth. How many years will have to pass before the mystery of this man will have been fully fathered?

The SubGenius universe is one where a powerful Conspiracy is underway, and potential SubGeniuses are in danger of being ‘taken’ by their architects, who have most people under a state of mind control, in such a way that they believe it’s normal work to earn a living. (... ) The goal of religion is the permanent acquisition of Slack, the quality of doing nothing, rejecting work and still having enough wealth to live well. Laziness is a right, but Conspiracy deprives people of it. The message of the teachings of ‘Bob’ is that of the liberation of false consciousness, and the acquisition of an infinite Weakness. He deliberately promotes Abnormality; Conspiracy soldiers are known as ‘Normal’ or ‘Roses’.
Carole M. Cusak, Invented Religions: Imagination, Fiction and Faith
"When we do not have enough interest in the world around us, then we are thrown back into ourselves. Taken all in all, we have to say that if we look at the chief damages created by modern civilization, they arise primarily because people are far too concerned with themselves and do not usually spend the larger part of their leisure time in concern for the world but busy themselves with how they feel and what gives them pain ... And the least favorable time of life to be self-occupied in this way is during the ages between 14, 15 and 21 years old.
The capacity for forming judgments is blossoming at this time and should be directed toward world-interrelationships in every field. The world must become so all-engrossing to young people that they simply do not turn their attention away from it long enough to be constantly occupied with themselves. For, as everyone knows, as far as subjective feelings are concerned, pain only becomes greater the more we think about it. It is not the objective damage but the pain of it that increases as we think more about it. In certain respects, the very best remedy for the overcoming of pain is to bring yourself, if you can, not to think about it. Now there develops in young people just between 15, 16 and 20, 21, something not altogether unlike pain. This adaptation to the conditions brought about through the freeing of the astral body from the physical is really a continual experience of gentle pain. And this kind of experience immediately makes us tend towards self-preoccupation, unless we are sufficiently directed away from it and toward the world outside ourselves ..."

In 1892, Rudolf Steiner published in Die Zukunft, a biting essay denouncing the Society for Ethical Culture which was founded to promote the "morality common to all good people" — an idea Steiner viewed as nonsense.
I had to wait on the hubs to take a look at the videos first before I wrote this post.
I've sat here for about two hours..
waiting to write it.
Hubs: "That's a professional hit. That shot? From that distance? Someone knew what they were doing. The old man was a decoy to give the sniper time to get out. This was a clearly thought out "mission" Again, this was obviously a pro hit. That shot is definitely in range for a trained marksman-usually within 300 yards or so. No doubt about it. Definitely NOT a lone wolf bullcrap either. This was planned."
Planned folks.
They are hunting us now.

Dr. Steiner: In reality, it is like this [Dr. Steiner demonstrates with a drawing]. Now you simply need to imagine how that continues in a helix. Everything else is only apparent movement. The helical line continues into cosmic space. Therefore, it is not that the planets move around the Sun, but that these three, Mercury, Venus, and the Earth, follow the Sun, and these three, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, precede it. Thus, when the Earth is here and this is the Sun, the Earth follows along. But we look at the Sun from here, and so it appears as though the Earth goes around it, whereas it is actually only following. The Earth follows the Sun. The incline is the same as what we normally call the angle of declination. If you take the angle you obtain when you measure the ecliptic angle, then you will see that. So it is not a spiral, but a helix. It does not exist in a plane, but in space.

Ego is the only trouble in the world.
If everybody in the world just for one hour
decides to put the ego aside -- just for one hour --
there will be no trouble, no problem;
there will be such great peace and silence and love
that we have not known before.
This whole planet has not known that.
But the ego is nourished on troubles.
If it cannot create trouble, it will starve to death.
It needs continuous nourishment,
and that nourishment comes from trouble.
So if you understand that the
trouble (ego) is a pain in the neck,
and you are tired of it...
If you are not tired of it,
then I am not saying you have to drop it;
first get really tired, then there is no need
for me to tell you to drop it.
You will just drop it.
Trouble(ego) is your spiritual cancer;
it is better to get rid of it.
It is the only agony of the human soul,
the only hell that really exists.
And it is within your hands to get out of it.

His fiancée, whom he married in 1921 soon after the episode described here, was the daughter of the mayor of Holland's second largest city, Rotterdam. She was a person of refined taste and cultured upbringing. She joined the first group of students of eurythmy in Dornach. It is through her that Zeylmans became acquainted with Steiner, who immediately recognized the great abilities of this young doctor.
In 1923 Rudolf Steiner encouraged the forming of anthroposophical societies in all the countries where a significant interest in spiritual science was alive : the United States, England, Holland , and most of the countries in central and western Europe. Dr. Zeylmans became chairman of the Anthroposophical Society in the Netherlands and essentially remained in that position until his death in 1961. During this period he gave thousands of lectures all over the world, including the U.S., and published numerous scholarly papers and books. He founded the Rudolf Steiner Hospital in the Hague in 1927 and was its medical director for many years. He was responsible for a remarkable growth and flourishing of a multitude of anthroposophical activities in Holland, while his wife nourished the country's interest in eurythmy. Throughout their lives the two worked together side by side as a wonderful team, both in public life and in anthroposophical affairs.
Dr. Zeylman"s productivity was inseperately linked with his character: kind but firm , sensitive but balanced, artistic but realistic. In everything he presented, a beautiful synthesis of content and form prevailed. His book about Rudolf Steiner has a noteworthy history.
The Book and Its History
A number of biographies of Rudolf Steiner appeared in the years following his death in 1925. Until 1963 all of these were written at the Initiative of the authors and were published by anthroposophyical publishing houses. All except one. This one exception happened as follows.
In the late 1920's J.P. Kruseman , a well - established publisher in the Hague, decided to publish a series of books about great men under the title ' Heores of the Spirit.' One volume each was to be devoted to Spinoza, Hegel, Plato, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Goethe. Although Kruesman was in no way connected with the anthroposophical movement, he felt that the last volume of this series had to be on Rudolf Steiner. He approached Dr. Zeylmans and asked him to write this book for the general public.
I remember Dr. Zeylmans telling how happy he was, when this request came out of a clear sky from a respected publisher with whom he had no previous contact. The book was soon written and published in 1932. A second edition appeared in 1960, and a few years later a German translation came off the press. The book describes Rudolf Steiner's life and work in a sensitive, objective, and beautiful way and places these against the background of his time. With keen perception it addresses the general, educated public and reads as well today as it did in 1932.
Not until 1963, more than thirty years later, did something similar happen elsewhere. In that year Dr. J Hembleman was asked by Rowohlt, the big German publishing company, to write an illustrated biography of Rudolf Steiner as number 79 in a series of paperback biographies of great personalities in literature, philosophy, religion, art, and music.
The above is a translation of Chapter 2 of Zeylman"s book in which he describes how one might typically have met Rudolf Steiner, and how, in fact, he did meet him. For a description of more intimate details of this encounter the reader is referred to Zeylman"s article in the 1958 edition of 'The Golden Blade,' which contains a series of articles entitled 'Rudolf Steiner, Reflections by Some of His Pupils. '
~ Ernst Katz , Ph. D.
An Encounter with Rudolf Steiner.
F.W.Zeylmans von Emmichoven
{ Dr. Zeylman"s book about Rudolf Steiner's life and work was published in the Hague in 1932. It contains a beautiful and remarkable chapter in which the author describes Rudolf Steiner as he met him. }
Winter, 1920. In the spurs of the Swiss Jura Mountains lies the little village of Dornach. On top of a hill , hemmened in on three sides by high mountain ridges , lies the Goetheanum, facing west. The pale, glittering slates on the double - domed roof are barely visible against the background of snow that covers most of the landscape.
Beside the Goetheanum stands a large wooden barn .One half of it is used as a carpentry workshop, as the Goetheanum, which was opened during the previous fall, is not yet completed. In the other half, which is furnished as a lecture hall and theatre, Rudolf Steiner delivers his lectures.
Hundreds of listeners sit on the simple wooden chairs. The front of the auditorium is separated from the stage by curtains of blue linen. They form the backdrop for a small wooden platform, draped with material of the same colour, on which Rudolf Steiner stands.
When he speaks, absolute silence reigns in the auditorium. The eyes of everyone focus constantly on the dark figure in front. Rudolf Steiner is of medium height, slender, almost frail. This strikes the listener immediately as a remarkable contrast to his heavy, powerful voice and speech. The sound of his voice has a quality that one will never forget. There is something deeply moving in it, as the speaker shares in the suffering of all mankind.
Sometimes the voice sounds warm and enveloping. Then the listening mind feels as if it were taken up and transported into other worlds, inaccessible to ordinary consciousness. At other times the voice sounds stronger.One senses a force in it that only higher powers can bestow. Words are spoken that resound over the earth like warning clarion calls .Then again, one is moved by a gentle heartiness, a tenderness, which frees something deep down in the listener, giving a feeling of awakening to an inner world, where a hidden light begins to shine.
But always it is as if every word spoken received a life of it's own. These words are not abstract symbols for communicating thoughts. They are born as living beings, and they continue to live in the hearts of the listeners.
Rudolf Steiner spoke freely, without notes, improvising as it were. In this way he delivers more that a hundred, and sometimes more than two hundred lectures a year. Almost all are different and range over the most diverse of topics. The shorthand records , uncorrected, show an unbelievable richness in the treatment of the language. The lectures are built up according to the highest standards of artistic taste and reason. Upon rereading them one frequently discovers a regularity in them that is reminiscent of organic growth. Even as a plant grows, germinating at first, unfolding one leaf after another, blooming in splendour, and then contracting again into the fruit and the seed, the contents of each of these lectures likewise grow and flourish. We always find a strong inner consistency and a free, living development.
Rudolf Steiner accompanies the spoken word with harmonious gestures of his arms and hands. It is not arbitrary gesticulation, not a passionate play of gestures. Rather, it is the natural extension of what lives in the soul of the language and finds expression from the chest through the arms and the hands.
An extraordinary vigor is characteristic of his entire manner of lecturing. Even when a great calm, a deep inner silence, predominates in what is being said, one still notices a delicate, continual mobility in the gestures of the face . The posture of Rudolf Steiner, almost sixty years old is remarkably youthful; his movements are supple and resilient. His figure is like that of a young and vigorous plant, standing freely between the heavens and the earth, its leaves supported by the air into which they expand.
Rudolf Steiner ( 1861 - 1925 )

When I say you are not the doer and you refrain from reaction always remember what I'm talking about. I do not mean that you sit still and do absolutely nothing. It is some peoples karma to do this, to sit and do absolutely nothing. But most of us are in this world doing things. Yet if you can only accept the fact that you are not the doer the things that you do will be done better than you can ever imagine. You are taking action and non-action. You are working and no work. You are thinking with no mind. You have become free
Therefore never think or believe that this kind of a teaching, Advaita Vedanta, will make you not to love your family, will cause you to lose your job, will cause you to have problems, on the contrary. If you understand what I'm talking about and do this in the right way you will continue to do anything and everything you have to do. And because you're no longer perturbed, your body will not feel stress and things will be much better for you.

Study is the first step of esoteric training. Rudolf Steiner tells us it does not matter so much what we study as how we study. We must learn to think in harmony with the world-order. "If, for instance, we are reading a difficult book, the most important thing is not to comprehend its whole content, but to enter into the author's line of thought and learn to think with him. Hence the pupil should find no book too difficult; if he does, it means only that he is too easy-going to think." —R. Steiner, 4 Sep 1906
