3 x the 7 = number of completion, of the Lamb, of the Christ. 17. verse of the week: \"The word of the world speaks, which I was allowed to lead through the gates of the senses into the depths of the soul, fill your spiritual depths with my worldly expanses, to find me once in you\".<\/em> The world word is the Christ. The world word that creatively shaped the whole world. Christ is the actual Master Builder of the World, whom the ancient Indians Vishva Karman<\/em> the everyday, everything that is our cosmos, there is the Christ behind it, the creating world word. We human beings have the privilege that this world word can enter into our I - it is only a matter of becoming aware of it - and with it also the power and the wisdom that has shaped this world. But we are like a small child who first has to learn to speak from this world word, we are stammering. But the potential is within us.\n\nScene Faust: first part: before Mephisto appears, he is in despair, as always, because the world is not accessible to his knowledge, he wants to grasp it all and does not succeed, then he decides to translate the Holy Scriptures, the New Testament into his beloved German, but he already fails at the beginning. \"It is written, in the beginning was the word. Here I already stop, who will help me further? I cannot possibly value the word so highly. I must translate it differently. If I am quite enlightened by the spirit, he pondered, it is written, in the beginning was - the meaning. Consider the first line, that your pen may not be hasty, is it the sense that works and creates everything? It should be written in the beginning was the power. But even as I write this down, something warns me that I won't stay with it, oh, the spirit helps me, all at once I see advice and write confidently, in the beginning was the deed.\"<\/em> Then the poodle that lies behind the stove howls, which then turns out to be Mephisto. There he has moved further and further away from the understanding of the word of the world. He sees it only in the external.\n\nThe deed is the result, but the beginning is the world-word. But that is not enough for Faust. And so he wanders around for the whole two parts of Faust, committing mistakes, as we humans do, all of us, it is the privilege of man to be able to fail and to make mistakes and to do evil. As a prerequisite for freedom, to be able to do good. Those who have never done evil are not capable of doing good out of freedom. You have to go through these steps in reality, but don't worry, we have already done that often enough in the past. All of us! Even the great initiates. Sometimes the bigger the mistake, the greater the compensation through something good that one does. Saul to Paul. He persecutes Christians and thereby opposes the renewal that is necessary because he has not recognised the signs of the times. Many mistakes that are made, as they are today, arise because people are honestly convinced of the old forces, because they have carried us for a long time, and people become active out of this, act out of the old forces, and in doing so think for themselves that they are doing the good, doing the right thing. But if it is against the current of development, if it wants to hold back something that should actually already be overcome, then it can very easily come to evil. R. Steiner: \"Evil is a time-delayed good.\"<\/em> What was good and right at a certain time, at a certain epoch, is completely wrong at a later time, and vice versa. You have to add that the people who live on earth only seem to live in simultaneity, from the inner spiritual attitude sometimes millennia lie in between, anyone can operate a mobile phone, but whether someone has already been touched by the fact that the world word is effective in him, can become effective, whether someone has already got something of it, is another question. That is why he can be a good person in the old sense, but it can still be a problem if he does things based on old principles that form a necessary resistance. The moment we hold something back, or bring something forward to the present at an inopportune time, that is just as bad, if something is only to be in a thousand years, because humanity will only then have the spiritual maturity, then that can become very evil. It is precisely Ahriman who draws things into us now that would only be beneficial in the future. But in doing so, he also stirs up our mental powers to be able to stand up to it as quickly as possible. This explains why we feel relatively helpless in the face of much of what Ahriman puts into our world, because he brings in some impulses at an untimely moment for which we are not yet ready.\n\nWith technology we have the problem, it is something necessary, to rework the world of the dead so that it becomes something else dead, that is a great task of humanity, that is what we as human beings contribute new to creation. Technology has never existed, even on the earlier cosmic stages of development of the earth there was no such thing as technology, the use of tools begins at some point in the transition to Homo sapiens. Quietly, it is also present in animals that use objects as tools (apes). Humans can not only use objects, they can also change them, develop them further. This is something that runs through the history of humankind, but has taken on an enormous upswing in our cultural epoch. For example, steam power at the end of the 18th century multiplied man's power, coal became a driving force, initially with low efficiency. James Watt brings it to 3 %, it is a big topic to build energy-efficient machines, today every year brings new developments, this puts us in a certain stress, new machines come, old ones go away, in ever shorter cycles, we do it the way nature does when it creates in the living, it throws out living beings one after the other, plants, animals emerge in abundance, much of it perishes again. In the course of human history 95 % of the species became extinct again, something new came again, nature is wasteful, has a desire to create something new, in an unbelievable abundance. We human beings must also do this in the field of technology, that is a very central task, only we can do it, no angels, no archangels, not even the highest entities can do this technology, the realm of the dead is closed to them anyway, with the only exception of the Christ, who has passed through death, has connected himself with the earth, has connected himself with human beings, he can participate, but he is the only one of the hierarchies who are above us. Even Christ does not do it through himself, we have to do it, but he can help us to develop this technique in such a way that it fits harmoniously into the course of world development. Ahriman sees to it that a resistance arises, certainly a necessary resistance. Most of the technology we have today is there to be seen as resistance that we have to mature against if we want to develop our free ME. That is why we are facing all these challenges. A process that we as humanity have to go through. It's up to us how quickly we find our way to a technology that is appropriate for life. R. Steiner: \"A moral technology of the future\"<\/em>. Morally means: only a human being who undergoes spiritual development is capable of getting this machine going in the first place. That is what it is all about. Machines that only come into operation when they are operated by a person who has developed a corresponding spiritual power. If he has developed this, then it is a moral force. But there will also be the opposite image, people who connect with the adversary forces, who develop a black magic technique that opens the way for people into the realm of Sorat. But who nevertheless believe they are on the right path and are convinced of it. Yet the people who know they are doing evil are still the most harmless. They are few. The real black magician does it out of conviction! But we don't have that yet, that will be the future.\n\nThe goal must be that technology becomes receptive to the influence of the spiritual. Everything is under the influence of the spiritual, only the dead falls out. That is basically a hollow space in the spiritual. From a spiritual point of view, the dead, the solid dead matter is actually not there. The minerals are in a way a void in the spiritual. It is a question of whether this empty space is filled by the spiritual that the human being can contribute. Then it dissolves into a new spiritual that is brought in by the human being. In the Apocalypse, the image for the mineral world, the crystal world, which is ultimately dead, is the sea of glass. The mineral world as a whole. It is waiting to be spiritualised by the human I. Only the human being can do that. Only the human being can do that. That is why we have to deal with it if we want to go the way to freedom. The whole mineral earth must be transformed. Grasp and penetrate the whole earth with our spiritual forces.\n\nToday we penetrate a great deal with our electromagnetic forces that generate our machines. We need the challenge that we are continuously inside the electromagnetic grid, through the electricity pylons, that did not exist before man invented it. The earth also has a magnetic field, magnetic forces are connected with the adversaries, especially earth magnetism, these are primarily ahrimanic forces, but they are very useful for us, because if the earth did not have a magnetic field, then the sun would act on us with such force that we would not be able to stand it as living beings. Then we wouldn't exist. Maybe there would be single-celled organisms. Ahriman does not only do bad things. He makes sure that development can go on and on, he wants to steer it in a different direction, but he is not interested in ruining the earth. He just wants to go in another direction. There are great spiritual conflicts that affect every single technician\/scientist. It is a paradox to experience the conflict between the forces of the World-Word, which can work through our I, and only from the power of the World-Word can we form a moral technique, or we work from the forces of Ahriman, which are actually old forces, but are nevertheless brought out too early, are given into the hands of humanity too early: Ahriman works with old forces that come in too early, he brings it to man who is not yet ripe for it, there we are called to great vigilance, but it always requires the one step beyond the limit. \"I love him who desires the impossible.\" <\/em> There is I-power. Whoever is satisfied with the possible does not yet work from the I-power. The demand is the impossible. And if we fail 100 times. It doesn't matter. The striving must be there. Faust: \"Whoever strives eternally, we can redeem.\"<\/em> Love has even taken part in him from above, it encounters him \"the blessed flock with a warm welcome\"<\/em>. That is the end of Faust II. This is the result. At the very beginning of Faust, God says: \"A good man in his dark urges, is well aware of the right path.\"<\/em> I.e. he makes many mistakes, but there is something inside that can steer him back in the right direction. He only has to listen to it.\n\nBecause a good person is one who acts out of the freedom of the I. That is a good person in today's sense. In today's sense, that is a good person. In the old sense, it is the person who allows himself to be guided by the spiritual world that is above him. The good person of the future is the one who, with the help of the Christ-power, draws this power from the I, i.e. who, out of freedom, not only recognises what is good and what is evil, but is master of creating the good. A good that did not yet exist in this form. The old good is a way of being incorporated into old forces. But the spiritual world is waiting to see what new thing we bring in. And even if the innovations are still so small, for we are only at the beginning. You cannot plan the path of the I beforehand, you can only walk it. With each step you have to weigh up whether it is a step in the right direction or in the wrong direction. If it is a step in the wrong direction, we will run somewhere, cause damage, make mistakes, commit errors, do something bad, that will happen, we must not give in to any illusion, the path to freedom is such that mistakes have to be made in reality, we cannot avoid it. Man zigzags and goes astray, that is the great statement of the Faust drama, that is the man of our time, Faust is the prime example of the man of our time par excellence. He is multi-faceted. He is more than a single person. He is the sum of all ICHE. Above all, he is also the sum of all mistakes.\n\nBut the I-power is always behind it, leading, even if he sometimes thinks wrongly, there is a light inside, it leads him there, there is a power, the power of the world-word, which ultimately helps him after all. Because he grasps it with his real self. We must always distinguish between the little I, the everyday I, what we have in our consciousness every day, what we know about ourselves - our real I is much more. The path to the future means that we first have to get to know our real self. The real you often comes out in situations of fate, where you are thrust into a situation that you never wished for before, never imagined that you would get into, where you then perhaps fail or even pass. Both are good. Even if we fail it is a great learning process and you take something with you for the next incarnation, even if it is a fatal mistake. I have learned something from it. In the next incarnation, I will do everything I can to ensure that others don't make this mistake either. Strengths often only unfold in emergency situations. Time and again, people have also mustered the strength to sacrifice themselves for others. Those who have not managed to do so have perhaps become aware that I am still lacking something and that this was also a learning process. Nothing is in vain! Failure is part of it and has its good purpose. In the end, we will have the strength to face new challenges on the next stage of development of our earth. We will have gained wisdom and creative power. That is what counts!\n\nTo feel the power of the World Word within us, to feel it. If it is the power of Christ, it is also our power. Everything that is formed out of the World Word, where we now speak the first syllables, these change the world. They are realities. They work to build the future. We still cling to reality and consider that to be the real thing. But it is only the ashes, the dross, the residue of past realities on which the hierarchies above us have worked, on which the Elohim have worked, through which the Christ has worked, as long as he had not yet embodied himself on earth in the body of Jesus of Nazareth. Then it turns around, now this power works from another centre, namely from the I of each individual human being. That is now what creates reality. Reality is the way into the future. To build the new. To change the world. This is not a criticism of natural science. But natural science, as it is now, and it is quite necessary that it be so, it builds on the understanding of the past. From this, it wants to deduce what the future will be like. On the assumption that the laws as they were in the past will continue to operate in the future. Then I can predict in certain areas, in very few anyway, how the future will turn out, if nothing intervenes.\n\nIn limited areas this is quite possible, otherwise we would not be able to build machines. Even when it goes to artificial intelligence, where apparently the machine thinks ahead or does things that have not been directly built in by humans, because AI is quite capable of learning, but still it is not creative. Not worldly. A rolling away of the past. All old world, old creation. Contrary to what the transhumanists dream of today, the fusion of the human with the machine, with machines, as we think of machines today, that will not work! Many things will work, but it is not the way to the spiritual future. The way of the future for us is to connect with the world-word, and thereby to transform the mineral dead world, to make it into \"machines\" and to connect ourselves spiritually with these \"machines\" so that our spiritual power can make these \"machines\", the dead things seized by us spiritually, that they follow our spiritual impulse. In other words, they are set in motion by the spiritual power of the human being.\n\nThe people who are far enough along will no longer incarnate in the 6th-8th millennium of our era. By then, part of this task must have been accomplished. To have transformed the mineral kingdom so that it has united with the spiritual forces of man. This will have an influence on the whole of nature. Because the whole mineral earth must be so transformed. For what is not transformed becomes a victim of the adversary forces. That will be the cinders that drop out of development. The building material of the 8th sphere. We have 7 great cosmic stages of development that our Earth is going through. Today we are on the middle stage. 7 stages of world development. That is the regular development. What drops out forms its own sphere. A sphere that is not capable of development. The 8th sphere.\n\nWe should be careful that as little as possible of our earth, of our cosmos, and of ourselves goes with this dross. This is only possible if man uses his spiritual powers with great strength to transform the mineral kingdom. To transform it in such a way that the human being unites spiritually. R. Steiner speaks of a \"Merging of the human being with the machine beings\".<\/em>The ahrimanic variant, which is very much propagated today, certainly also out of an honest feeling of the people, because in their scientific-technical thinking they can only imagine a fruitful future in this way, and believe the salvation of man and the earth can only be solved by us melting together with the machines. But we need a well-christianised mineral kingdom. Which cannot be equated with machines. The future leaves both open. Both will happen. Part of the transhumanists' dream will come true, only it can be a nightmare. But we have to deal with it in real terms. Humanity will not miss any mistake it can make. It is precisely from this that it will learn.\n\nFaust makes the biggest mistakes in Part II towards the end, until then everything is comparatively harmless, that he drove Gretchen to her death, drove her mother to her death, killed her brother, that is a trifle compared to what he does at the end, where he accomplishes his great work, to win new land for mankind, to make slave labour where many people die, he basically walks over corpses, the little hut on the mountain, with a little chapel, they ring the bell there, Faust is disturbed by that, the hut spoils his great empire, He tells Mephisto, take them away, he'll give them a big estate instead, but they insist on staying there, in the end they're all dead and the hut burns down, then Mephisto reports that unfortunately it went wrong, then Faust is shocked, lets the moralizer hang out, I didn't want that, but in principle he should have known, it doesn't work to make people do what I myself want because the hut bothers me, expropriations, enough will happen because we have to go through it as humanity, and only learn from the catastrophe. A lot of things have to be suffered through in reality.\n\nBut we are in a time where it is important to develop the counter forces. Hence the great task of penetrating this mineral kingdom. The sea of glass plays a role in the Apocalypse in the New Jerusalem. We are reminded that we have a task there. These things are written between the lines. The task is to find the word of the world, the formative power of Christ in me, in my I. And also to bring it into action. And also to bring it into action. The moral technology of the future is really for the benefit of humanity as such. Much will only be realised in the next cultural epoch, the epoch of brotherhood, the Slavic epoch, where economic life will really consist of people consciously working for each other in order to satisfy each other's needs, which are by all means external material needs, in the best possible way. So that everyone can shape his life in such a way that he can contribute his abilities, and what he cannot contribute through his abilities, he receives from the others, and this on a worldwide scale. In the last 66th lecture, where there were two sixes, we talked more about the dark side, how economic life looks today, especially in the health industry, but we have to go through this as humanity, we have to deal with this ahrimanic side, the economy also has to go through this now in our time, through the stage where the main goal of economic activity is to make as much money as possible. The question is, why does one want to make so much money with it? The instinct is there in every economic operator, basically it is the only measure that says my economic enterprise works. What I produce is wanted. Whether they are real needs or artificially awakened is another thing. That is the only yardstick. More morality will not work today. Not yet. The structure of society as a whole has to change.\n\nEconomy is what works best today. The legal system doesn't work so well anymore. We still live largely on Roman law. Interestingly, the Anglican system least of all. That still has the most of Germanic law in it. Hence the greater importance of the judge. Now the question is how spiritual he is and whether he decides correctly. Precedents. There is much less written down in paragraphs. We are slaves to the paragraphs. In English-American criminal law, there is the possibility of being much freer. Steiner says clearly that we have a threefold structure that wants to emerge in social life, economic life, legal life and spiritual life, the latter includes people who are creatively active in technology, all people who design products in the economy, there are overlaps, without spiritual life there is no economic life, waste management: there is the most valuable raw material, the development of a circular economy, without rubbish dumps, without progressive destruction of the earth. There are enough raw materials, it's a question of how we use them. Oil was created over millions of years, we are using it up, we will use it up in two centuries.\n\nIf I learn to create products in such a way that they themselves become raw materials again in the end, then they become part of the cycle. Energy will also be needed for this. Using the power of the sun. The sun sends us more than enough energy. At some point the earth will reunite with the sun. As a result, the Earth will then enter a spiritual state. There are still many tasks ahead of us. Also for the technicians. We as anthroposophists often see more the spiritual development, but we must also see that the hard dead earth must be transformed. To make it human by connecting with it spiritually. That is the great task. Not just to be dead matter. The profession of man is freedom and the power of love. In the course of the earth's development we will not succeed in breathing love into nature to the same extent, but it is the preparation for the New Jerusalem. There love is a force of nature, just as today magnetism is a force of nature, but a force of nature that points to the past, so the adversaries have a lot to do with it. Today, new forces have to be developed. That has to be prepared. How do I breathe the power of love into the dead mineral. So that the mineral that we shape, the \"machine\", has within itself the power to fulfil the needs of man. That is then a service of love. Dead nature simply wants to serve man. Biodynamic agriculture (Demeter) is part of that. There is something else at play. The revival of the earth. The task of biodynamic agriculture and what will become of it, because it is only at the beginning, is to revive the earth to the extent that it has the time necessary for humanity, and humanity is the whole earth with all the kingdoms of nature, that is what we have temporarily put out of ourselves, because we are not able to carry it, but at the beginning there is very concretely at the beginning of the development of the earth, it does not look like that at the beginning of Genesis, there it is the other way round, but spiritually man is the firstling of creation. Only he does not yet appear outwardly. He does not yet appear spiritually. But spiritually he does. Spiritually everything is prepared. The tide turns at that moment, the Elohim first take out all the forces that were there in the past, in the previous embodiments of our earth, with which the work of creation begins, as it is described in the Bible. \"In the beginning the Elohim created the heavens and the earth\".<\/em>, i.e. the separation of sun and earth, from then on the description begins, \"the earth was desolate and empty, Hebrew: Tohuwabohu, the t stands for forces that seek a spiritual impact, tohu<\/em> = a spiritual impulse comes in, bohu<\/em> = the shaping force from outside. Two shaping forces work together, one from the centre, the other from the periphery. That means hullabaloo. Not desolate and empty or chaos. There was chaos, from come astral forces from the previous embodiment of the earth, the Old Moon, where man got his astral body, where angelic beings remained, which then became the Luciferic beings, where there were not yet these laws of nature that we have today, It was only at the end of the Old Moon that wisdom was developed to such an extent that, with the development of the Earth, a cosmos could come into being which had the wisdom of our natural laws in it. \"The spirit of the Elohim hovered over the waters, darkness was in the deep.\" The spirit of Elohim = Hebrew: Ruach Elohim, smoke, smell, sense of smell, \"smeller\", with the olfactory brain we have our logical forebrain, by that the olfactory brain, the instinctive mind intelligence that is instinctively there in the dog, that that can consciously awaken in man, with the help of this brain tool, the tool of the mind soul, the part of the mind soul that is important for this, at that level, on a cosmic scale, the Elohim work as the spirit of the Elohim hovered over the deep, in truth it is the great communal mind soul of the 7 Elohim, it imprints much in our nature, these are the laws that we can grasp with the mind, this is what natural science is concerned with, but this is the old, not the new, this has come over from the Old Moon, the new begins where the World Word resounds, where the Elohim begin to speak, the Elohim said, let there be light, and there was light. That is the moment when the Christ begins to work through the communion of the 7 Sun Elohim. Today the same power is working in our I. That was the precursor to this. What the Elohim are doing at that moment is to prepare the earth life of the Christ. They can do that. Set up the earth creation so that the Christ can incarnate on earth. Having done that, they pass on their task to the next Hierarchy, to the Spirits of Personality, the Primal Angels, who now move into that position. Everything creative now passes through the human I. Not yet consciously, but will become more and more conscious. When we detach ourselves from the old forces and hear the world-word sounding within us, when we go beyond our little mind-soul into a living fully conscious thinking, then we work into the future. The forces work into the mind-soul, but they also work into the consciousness-soul, in so far as we apply them to nature today in scientific-technical thinking. With this kind of thinking, that is, with intellectual thinking alone, and the conscious grasp of sensual nature outside, observation of nature and explanation of nature by means of the intellect, that is not enough today to grasp reality, namely the forces that will shape the future. We are still on the way down. All of us. All of us who still work in the natural sciences. Goethe found a great approach to natural science in his Metamorphosis Theory of Plants and his Theory of Colours. That is a first approach to it. You can see that this is the way to look for the answers that today's scientists notoriously fail to find. They fail, especially the brain researchers fail to explain how the experience of colours comes about. One can explain that light comes from outside, falls on the retina, is transformed into an electrical impulse, which goes into various nerve centres in the brain, all this can be recorded, but we have the experience that we experience this as colour, but one would never come up with it, the brain researchers do not find the slightest approach to be able to explain the experience. The natural sciences started out from sensory observation, but they have come to distance themselves from it very strongly, preferring to interpose a measuring instrument that is more exact and precise, where observation is no longer in the foreground and certainly not a connection with the sensory qualities that are there, but everything is subjective. So it's irrelevant. But it is not irrelevant! It is highly relevant.\n\nGoethe recognised that. Unconsciously out of his ME, he knew which direction to go. Newton's particles flying around say nothing about the colours, but the colours belong to it. Natural science has eliminated all that. Without judging it. It has guided a lot. Precisely by not dealing with what it could not do anything with. Instead, it did what it could. To make nature measurable. There is the rise of today's technical science. Technical science. Because it describes nature like a technical thing, like an ahrimanic machine. That has nothing to do with nature, which has a life in it. With that, I never come to an understanding of the living. We believe this today because we have researched many details, the genes, the biochemical reactions, but this still doesn't explain life, we only ever recognise the dead, the genes are the dead, life develops in a formative way, the etheric forces come into it, Through the etheric forces various substances are formed, thereby something dies into the dead, substance always becomes dead, as long as the organism lives, it is revived again and again, and revived again, but at some point it is over, at the moment when the life force, i.e. the etheric body, is out, it stops. Then the machine no longer runs. The machine of living beings only becomes a decaying machine at the moment when the life force is out. The life forces do not work so much in the solid substance, in the mineral, but they work in the liquid element. All that is liquid in man, about 70 %, in old age we dry up, in watery matter the etheric body is most active. In our case above all in the lymphatic system. That is the carrier of life. The blood is also part of it, but it has another task. Blood is the central carrier of the I-forces.\n\nBut the life forces, the forces that have a formative effect in nature, and whose effect is reflected in dead form, then also in the genes, like an ingenious list of materials, out of the genes, the genetic material, the protein is produced in the body, so in the genes it is determined in a certain way which proteins the body can produce, but it is not that simple, but the genes can be read and interpreted in very different ways, i.e. converted into protein, a creativity is possible, i.e. to believe that out of the genetic material the protein can be produced. That is, to believe that I can read from the genetic material which protein molecules will be produced, that is to be taken with a grain of salt. You can experience surprises because an inexhaustible number of combinations can be made and new proteins can be produced again and again. The world champions in this are all the cells that are connected to the lymphatic system, i.e. those that are important for the immune system. The immune system does on a small scale what nature does on a large scale, namely creatively reshaping. At the same time, it also recognises what suits my individual organism and what does not. We are colonised by billions of other single-celled organisms (microbiome), the immune system recognises these as good and does not attack them, if the immune system is disturbed, autoimmune diseases occur, the immune system is clever enough to recognise what fits and what does not, the immune system is only the outermost front of it, there's something behind it, there's the etheric at work, the creative intelligence that manages to transform the macrocosmic image into the microcosmic image, mediated by the astral body, which plays a role, for the etheric forces fetch it from the astral body, from the great astral world, the star world, our small astral body absorbs it, the world word works in it, every night we absorb it, it refreshes the etheric body, which needs these images, these imaginings, in order to bring forth its living intelligence from them, the individual lymphocyte is not conscious of this intelligence, but in the interaction this intelligence expresses itself, behind it are spiritual entities which experience it in consciousness.\n\nWhen we develop living thought, we make use of precisely these forces. It is always there. We always have it when our immune system becomes active. The immune system shapes according to our ME. This contributes significantly to the fact that our organism is built in such a way that it fits our ME. To our spiritual task. The immune system is the mediator that works on what fits us. This is highly intelligent. A cosmic intelligence. It is inexhaustible. It manages to direct the body and all its inhabitants, the microbiome, in a way that is best for us. This includes everything that flows into us, namely also material, but also spiritual, the immune system and the etheric body have a lot to do to compensate for the harmful soul influences that come upon us, because at the moment when harmony is lost in the astral due to negative soul influences, in day-life this happens continuously, day-life as such is a destruction of the macrocosmic archetypes, which we always get again at night when we sleep, that is the price we pay so that we can have a consciousness, it is the same with animals, but in man to the highest degree, that's why we have the clearest brightest consciousness, but it's also the deadest, that's why it can best grasp the dead, that's why in the age of the consciousness soul, where we want to become fully awake, as even the people of the Greek epoch and the Middle Ages were not, if we want to become fully awake, we must always go to the limit of death, this happens today, therefore the astral body in daytime awakening has a very real destructive effect on the physical body and on the etheric forces, the etheric forces are directly damaged every day and this also has an effect on the physical body. That is why we have to die in the end. Otherwise a consciousness that awakens at the dead is not possible. That is the prerequisite for us to develop our freedom. This is only possible when we awaken at death. Death is our dearest companion. Friend, you go with me.\n\nPeople who have grown older often notice they are more awake to certain things. Young people have the advantage that they bring things with them and out of that, as if instinctively, they do something right, but they often don't really know why. Later, one becomes aware of what is at work within. Then one can handle these forces more consciously. Death works throughout life. It already begins to work in the embryonic state. The brain is chiselled, brain cells are destroyed, gone, gone, gone, the success is around the third year of life: I am a me. We owe that to death. That we can wake up and become free, because only when we can oversee everything can we act out of freedom. Real freedom begins with freedom in thinking, not with freedom of will, says R. Steiner, as long as I cannot overlook the reasons for my actions in thinking, as long as I work instinctively, i.e. become aware of my own thinking. Watching my own thinking. Only then can I really take moral responsibility for it. Before that I am at the mercy of it, if I am lucky, a good entity works in me, if I am unlucky, an adversary works. Today we are in the situation that the good entities have put themselves in a waiting position, from their point of view they can no longer do much, they can only help us that our karma is fulfilled, we are led through the necessary karmic situations, but even that we should slowly take over ourselves in the next centuries, recognise tasks of fate when they arise, and then not circumnavigate them, but solve them. Even if it is unpleasant and painful. It will be all the less painful if I take on the task voluntarily and promptly. Pain is something that the consciousness cannot or will not process clearly. The power of consciousness is then not yet strong enough to overlook what it really means. This is very difficult with physical pain and injuries, which is why we hardly ever manage it.\n\nA natural genetic engineering takes place within us. We take over genetic material from viruses. This changes our genes in the body's cells. The germ cells are particularly sealed off, so it is not inherited immediately. Our immune system plays a part in this. Our immune system is trained to bring us to our organic-bodily I-identity. This goes on throughout life. Our physical body becomes more and more ours. When the work is complete, we step down. It could not be developed any further. In each incarnation we work on the physical body as long as this work is worthwhile. But at some point the I-power we have developed is no longer sufficient to mould more of our individuality into this physical body. Our potential is then exhausted. Consciousness power has to be developed for this, this makes our body age and destroy. Spirit is constant transformation. We wake up at the ruining. We don't wake up to the healing forces, we completely sleep through them.\n\nBut we are on the threshold of turning our consciousness to the spiritual. Everything we have discussed so far relates to our present sensory-physical consciousness, i.e. the mind-thinking that is directed towards the sensory external world or its abstraction in the form of measurement results, mathematical models, whatever. These are the degrading forces. But in the consciousness-soul age, at least from the halfway point, we are on the verge of developing this living thinking. That manages to become conscious within the etheric itself. That is, to become conscious within the fluid organism. Within the formative currents of our fluid organism. To become conscious within our immune system. Then we will consciously develop healing powers. Healing wisdom is within the immune system. Individually. This makes the natural vaccine a thousand times superior to the artificial one from the laboratory. This is not to say that the artificial vaccine cannot help, but one must see the relationship. In people with a weakened immune system, which can happen today because the burdens are great, because in the age of the consciousness soul also a lot of degrading forces come in, and must come in, otherwise we could not develop, in the Middle Ages the life forces were greater, but the external conditions were much worse, that is why people died at 50, today we have the best possibilities with our nutrition, not everywhere, but in our latitudes. In the Middle Ages, the life forces were consumed at an enormous rate. The same life forces that we divide up over 80 or 90 years today were used up in 40-50 years in the Middle Ages. Death occurs when the system has exhausted its forces. If the immune system is weakened, then it can make sense to use this vaccination to protect the person in the specific situation. With the slight aftertaste that it is not really beneficial for the immune system itself, in its living activity. The good pedagogy for the immune system is, like in school, we come together with everything we encounter in the world, and give the immune system the chance to get to know it all, and to say, can I use it, can I not use it. The immune system is not only a defence system, it is also a system that allows everything that is good for us.\n\nWhen we develop living thinking we begin to have access to our immune system. We draw on these forces. This wisdom is much greater than the wisdom of the mind. Specialisation in knowledge is the death process. We have the powers to develop the living mind. In the etheric is the Christ-power. The World-Word works in our immune system. That is the intelligence. If you don't have faith in these forces, you don't have faith in Christ. It is not a matter of survival at any cost. But that is a decision that everyone has to make for themselves. We have certain possibilities today with technology to cheat fate, to delay things. To shackle the life that wants to go out. To each his own personal decision. Do we want these measures, everyone can announce that today. We need the responsible person and the responsible patient. The system promotes dehumanisation, the reduction to a few key figures, that is one thing, but there are also developments where doctors realise how important it is to involve the patient. The patient then decides.\n\nIt is important to trust in the power of our self-healing powers. Immune system - Christ power - self-healing powers. This is connected. This is in the I-power, in which the Christ works, and the power of the World-Word, which thereby comes to our disposal. Every healing happens out of the power of the World Word. Every healing from the I of the sick person. The decisive thing is his I-power. I can support the person in order to stimulate these forces. Self-healing power needs stimulation. We need a pharmacy, a medicine that stimulates these forces and does not try to replace them with much weaker means. We still need it. If medicine is a part of economic life, nothing else can come of it. So I must not see healing art as an economic enterprise alone. Medicine is part of spiritual life with different criteria than economic life. It is above all about the real spiritual forces that the doctor brings in. These are stimuli for the patient's self-healing powers, if he really brings in spiritual forces. This involves a deep understanding of the patient's individuality. Getting the intuitions of what to do. All artificially produced pharmacological substances are also harmful to some extent. Sometimes it even outweighs it, but can still be useful for a certain prolongation of life.\n\nEvery person has to decide for himself, what do I want? What do I not want? Also with regard to the art of healing. Herd immunity. People are not a herd! Even if they sometimes behave as such. We also have the animal in us. What makes us human is that we are individuals, and as such form a community of free human beings. This is anything but a herd. It is about the responsibility of the individual human being to promote his or her health forces. To keep the right balance, but that's where people need help. But nobody should want to come and prescribe something. People should be prevented from committing their mistakes. With higher health premiums, these are things that are being considered, along with the monitoring that goes with it. It's about personal responsibility and no one else has any say in it. No direct or indirect coercion. This leads to the Ahrimanic system - a health dictatorship. Then we get off our path and go in the other direction. <\/pre>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Dr. Wolfgang Peter Here you will find useful summaries, transcripts, keywords, etc. If you would like to help to make this documentation even richer, please contact info@anthro.world.
