Zander. Ugh! rather faint. 'Zander' means 'perch'. - This morning the editorial board of RS 150 - On Air 'spent the damage a bit to catch up. Well, 'damage' is of course ironic. All the beauty of this travel weblog
"gesendet aus dem Redaktionabteil (Wagen1) von unseren Expresskorrespondenten: Philipp Tok, Jonas von der Gath und Norbert Roztocki"
such as the Internet portal Anthromedia in ' Schmetterlinge im Marmorsaal " reports. Difficult is that one is not quite the good blogging practice to follow once posted a message to leave it as it is, may use an update marked as such. Fortunately, we now often be date, time and location included. So let's recap. I'll just start with what I first encountered this morning, namely ' Rudolf Steiner im Kaffeehaus ':
"Sonntag 27. Februar 2011 - Wien8:00 p.m. Pub Grien Steidl
Wolfgang Zumdick loses vor
Zwischen Geschirrgeklapper, Zigarettenrauch Lautem und Lachen kann man sich vom Tisch Neben normally Weise schlecht konzentrieren. Dennoch war es im Cafe, Wed Rudolf Steiner signal erstes Buch, who Grundlinien, has written. In that same café, we sit this evening on his birthday. Wolfgang Zumdick takes us back to a time when the café was a Griensteidl of writers and philosophers much visited place. Writing paper lay on the tables, for sudden incursions. Everyone had something to say. Even the waiters were a bit more literary. Sharp tongues called it also "Café Megalomania". - The reason why is actually in a coffeehouse is not saying that you want to drink a coffee. Coffee is the least important in a cafe. It is a kind of democratic club, where everyone can participate for a small fee. What role Steiner played there? In Zumdicks Buch erzählen critical hochachtungsvolle who Zeitgenossen, who begegnete Ihnen. "
Later this morning turned out to be another title having been given, namely " Zumdick isst Zander," and there were these two phrases posted:
'Auf seine abendliche Lesung ist bestens Zumdick vorbereitet, geistesgegenwärtig entdeckte There Zander auf der Karte und Liess es sich nicht nehmen zu den Besten Freund Steiner verspeisen. Chließlich lying Zander Leichter im Magen as other costs. - Zwischen Geschirrgeklapper, Zigarettenrauch Lautem und Lachen kann man sich vom Tisch Neben normally konzentrieren Weise schlecht. " And so on.
Light though. And inappropriate to the occasion. (This was obviously Helmut Zander, has been discussed here frequently.) - Well, what else we find that the effort is worth of posts? This I think, "Rudolf Steiner und der Kinetismus ':
" Sonntag 27. Februar 2011 - Wien4:30 p.m. Schloss Belvedere
"Wenn man aus der Lage des riesigen Parka Schlosses Belvedere Kommende das Gebäude in einen Eingang gefunden hat, ist man im Dilemma next track. Zwischen Spiegeln, Ausstellungsbildern (Kinetismus ") und Wandverzierungen can be lost. In each of the sumptuous rooms will be held a little. Whether Museum, Museum Shop or lecture. In the latter there are Zuggäste, Vienna and other stray afternoon today. - Walter Kugler is surprised by the title of his lecture. Actually, there are no interfaces between the work of Rudolf Steiner and the kineticism, an art movement of the early modern era. The art teacher Franz Cizenk According Kinetism "the art of motion in their rhythmic elements to decompose and use it to image building." The line will be freed. Kugler sees this as Parralelereignis to Steiner's study of the etheric, which then in the development of eurythmy manifested. Both women, that the will to form aligned to the realization of the spiritual in art. At the conclusion of the presentation suggests Walter Kugler to form a club. A club for Neo-Kinetism towards social sculpture. A new Wiener flow. "
Dat is toch veel humor fijnzinniger! Dan hebben we nog deze ' butterflies in the Marble Hall ':
'Sunday 27 February 2011 - Vienna11:00 Opening Matinée at the National Library
Vienna is big, wide and old. Its culture is built up in these very large forms held. The large halls the National Library today take about 300 other guests, the Steiner-Year Post Festival in Vienna. The classic form of the matinees will vibrate when Walter Kugler quotes Steiner's butterfly aphorisms. "The butterfly is a flying thought -. Liberated from the earth flower" He refers to the idea of evolution, which takes place the plant world to coincide with the development of the brain. Furthermore, drop some names, patron of the birthday child, adorned with many titles. Two new books will be presented. One for the development of Waldorf education in Austria, "Vienna Dialogues" and that the train already read guide Vienna by Wolfgang Zumdick "The Places his work. " is situated
The atmosphere thickens as the portrait of a pioneer of Waldorf Education in Austria "outside the Protocol. She died exactly a year ago to Steiner's birthday and had the desired Buchvernisage in Nationlabibliothek. The speaker judge spoke to her directly, just as Walter Kugler of Rudolf Steiner as a guest in the room and greeted loaklisierte his residence in the cosmos. Zumdick called it a must for Steiner Wien tourists visit Wittgenstein's house. He contrasted the second Goetheanum to view the sober individual work. Both houses he described as a substance which has become philosophy. - Gestärkt Voelkelsaft von und Gesellschaft auf Fest Demeterbrot Bricht that Spurs Steiner um den durch Folgen zu Wien. - In the handful of minutes geht es weiter mit Kinetismus im Schloss Belvedere. "
Yesterday ' Target "I regretted that an item had been lost:
" We also have a message talked about "Ankunft in Brunn am Gebirge", but that's just this morning, unfortunately, replaced by " * Wien ".
But that has now been reinstated, even to become a true report ' Boden kisses':
"Freitag 26. Februar 2011about 18:00 Brunn am Gebirge
Brunn, a suburb of Vienna. Here began the exploitation of living spaces Rudolf Steiner, the first plaque in stone yet. He lives here with his family of five in two rooms plus kitchen. It is alleged that parents and siblings share a room, while the slightly raised above the arch, may relate to study. The floorboards of this study should not have been changed since then. Holy ground? The door handle is said to have touched. - Certainly the horse stables and an extensive garden it in his Goethe studies on natural embedding. The entire farm is now an extensive local history museum. In summer, the museum built beekeeping bee theme in Steiner's work. Everything is clean, simple heat radiated by the walls. The mayor rose to a chair in the courtyard of the train passengers can see and to welcome. " Wat ook nog
leuk is om te report, is' A question ... ':
' Friday 25th February 2011stop in Graz
What question would you ask Rudolf Steiner, when he would sit on the train next to you?
they know where the toilet are? You have to somehow come into the conversation ...Who are you?Are you satisfied with today's anthroposophists how to appreciate me personally in this context?an old issue: What differentiates the ego from the self?How can the Social develop among the people?Can we spend a night together?How can we survive as a people at a Waldorf school?Do you like children and if so, why?How should I make the blood affinities?Woll'n also 'ne cookie?How can we threefold social order achieved?What must I do to gain wisdom?you remember the origins of the railway system? How it went to the telegraph?I know that he was asked on the train again: How is the spirit Gasometer, then the Goetheanum?Let's go a smoke?I talk with people actually rare in the train, which set down beside me and I do not respond. "
Deze 'SOS ' op donderdag 24 februari ask what geinig ook aan en gaf het te met withering strapatsen men had:
'The Free State of Bavaria appears to suppress the Internet connection of the RS150. Ebenso der Stabilität Stromspannung that ... Report wir uns wohl erst wieder aus einem Supporters Café in Munich. Heute Abend. "
Now I just jump to the egoists weblog of Michael Eggert, who keeps us well informed of developments in the German media landscape. Unfortunately I can not in the morning by Hester Anschütz these new contributions are:
"the Süddeutsche Zeitung this weekend had a drawing of Steiner on the front page, referring to two full pages in the serials, which are fully dedicated to his work and personality were! "
Late last night announced Michael Eggert ' The Independent on anthroposophy today: discover new sides of Steiner ':
'As I said, the implicit judgments contained in the articles and opinions could hardly be more frequently positive. here in the Tagesspiegel , the author even ends with hope: "Rudolf Steiner is not one of the anthroposophist alone. Anthroposophy is today as cultural pulse of interest -. Even for non-anthroposophists "
The desire can be thought of as anthroposophist only connect. The author also wants to see that the philosopher stones may finally be heard: "In any case it should be today, 150 Jahre nach Geburt Steiner, möglich signal or other Seiten ganz an dem Anthroposophen zu entdecken. Signal Frühwerk 'Freiheit der Philosophie "ist in der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts zu kaum Unrecht beachtet be. "
Manuel Gogos wrote Saturday in the Berlin newspaper Der Tagespiegel ' about" Der Mann mit dem Magiermantel. This article is of course subject to the strictest copyright laws. I hope to display them only to avoid it because it all for the Netherlands abroad. Who else would read this in the Netherlands? But yes, the World Wide Web is worldwide ... So the kite is not entirely accurate. The risk is not imaginary finishing this article, and discovered that this state has to remove again. So it is in any case often with new music through YouTube illegally on the World Wide Web ends. Anyway, the article is worth reading again and a fine example of the change in the preparation and conduct of the media, as we have seen earlier also:
'Rudolf Steiner entsteinern? Zum 150. Geburtstag des umstrittenen Begründers of Anthroposophie
Seit fast Hundert Jahren das geht nun schon: Those who Anthroposophen hüten Flamme und zur Lichtgestalt Erklären Rudolf Steiner, in dessen sich Aura Okkultismus berührten und Avantgarde. Und für Other he is a charlatan. Steiner, the man in black emperor Rock, the man behind the mirror.
150 years ago, he was born on 27 February 1861 in Austria-Hungary Kraljevec in a railway keeper's house of Habsburg monarchy. As a child, Rudolf Steiner believed to possess supernatural abilities and saw an aunt who had committed suicide, float through the furnace. At a certain receptivity to that which lived in him, he hoped decades later, when he end of April 1902 Secretary-General of the German Section of the Theosophical Society is appointed.
Here he was following the example of ancient mystery schools Initiation modern sciences.
20 years, from 1903 to 1923, lived Steiner in Berlin-Schöneberg, where Motzstraße a memorial plaque to him. Even in life everyone saw in him something different. The audience of his lectures, he appears as a Catholic cardinal, as a school teacher, a Nordic warrior. Wassily Kandinsky is under the influence of Steiner's writings, as he began to paint abstractly, Christian Morgenstern called him from the human teacher. Kafka takes refuge in his teachings, though not without considering them in the diary with corrosive skepticism. What Kandinsky Steiner mage cloak is threadbare for Kafka, the star dust just an earthly Phenomenon.
It is disputed to this day: Was Steiner, the last seer who in the world ages read like a book - as he claimed before the inner circle of his mind students? Or his alleged charisma was only the professionally staged, hollow pathos of a con man, like Eric said with difficulty?
Steiner took lay claim to be an initiate. He was also but the belief that intuition can be trained that "clairvoyance" was learned by everyone. That's the fascinating thing about the recently published biographies of Steiner. In them you can read about the very life of the great reformer his time was connected, that he not only drew off, but from a variety of disparate sources. Steiner injects it into his system features of theosophy, contemporary art, and even the science-fiction literature of those years. Here - and not the clairvoyance - he has found his vision of Atlantis.
Rudolf Steiner sees itself as a diagnostician of a sick civilization. While he abhorcht the depths of intellectual history, he also feels the pulse of the time. With the shock of the First World War breaks the bohemian inner together Theosophy. Steiner will therefore act in his last years more in width, lectures from teachers or workers, sometimes three a day. And still people come up to him: farmers, who ask why not taste the potatoes, doctors who want to be back right healer. He died in 1925, after a brief serious illness.
Steiner is unrivaled in terms of diversity and sustainability of its momentum in organic farming, alternative medicine such as reform pedagogy. In Germany there is hardly an alternative subculture, which is not of pulsed through his intuition. While anthroposophy remains suspicious of the occult and obscurantism, its practical applications have become everyday phenomena. At the Waldorf schools, in their refuges more and more parents want to bring their children in front of the turbo-capitalism in security, in the Bio-cult, the consumer wants in a deep ecological harmony with the environment a piece of his own "nature" to return, or in turn to alternative therapies.
If you consider that Steiner said in 1923 already, a cow, to which you feed meat, mad, or that he predicted in his lectures on bee a big bee deaths - he seems not only a charlatan been be.
The ideological battle zone is expanding, "uncritical worship of a saint by twisted columns," called Hans-Jörg Jacobsen, molecular geneticist and former president of the Association of German Biologists at the Dynamisierungsprozesse Demeter. And he criticized their scientific research: "With the same law the Jehovah's Witnesses could set up a professorship in religious studies or the Trekkies for such physics." But do not just taste Demeter products better - at least if you have children?
has repeatedly been doubted that Waldorf schools may apply to their teaching and the runic pentagram Convert a haven of humanity. This empirical studies refute those of former Waldorf students mantra put forward Arguments of the criticism against the institution: the graduates show a high level of satisfaction and identification with a school that is not amenable to ideological indoctrination. Also demonstrate the professional and social success, not only to showcase how the biographies of former Federal Interior Minister Otto Schily that Steiner education produces very capable people to live well.
any case, it should be today, 150 years after Steiner's birth, be possible to discover a lot of other pages on the anthroposophists. His early work "Philosophy of Freedom" is the philosophy of the 20th Century been considered unduly difficult. Steiner was one of the Nietzsche best connoisseurs of his time. In 1890 he was called from Vienna to Weimar, where he made over 29-year-old editor of Goethe's scientific writings a name.
With Goethe he shares a lot, especially the Goetheanum, the former main building of the anthroposophical world headquarters in Dornach, Switzerland in the form of a Urschädels which identifies him also as an idiosyncratic and original architects. For some time looking for it - computer generated - in architecture and design back to freer forms and refers also to the Goetheanum as a fundamental icon of the so-called "organic" architecture.
are strikingly Steiner "Insinuations" in the green environment. The RAF's lawyer and later interior minister Otto Schily outlined 1986, before the members of the German Bundestag, his vision, Steiner's social revolutionary threefold idea of "equality in law of life" to question the "brotherhood in economic life" and "freedom in the spiritual life" on their future potential through . These debates in the founding of the Green Party are again not possible without Joseph Beuys. Beuys had described his art as "schooling under Rudolf Steiner."
There were Beuys student, Steiner discovered as an artist. The wall paintings, which he used to illustrate his lectures were, almost 60 years fell in the Rudolf Steiner archive in Dornach, like Sleeping Beauty. Steiner, the "alchemist of the everyday life", an ancestor of modern art? Perhaps it belongs more to the museum than in the pantheon of science. Perhaps art can break through the walls of his intellectual ghettos and "stone" Steiner.
Rudolf Steiner is not the anthroposophist alone. Anthroposophy is today as cultural pulse of interest - even for non-anthroposophists.
The author lives as Germanic and exhibition organizer in Bonn. "
sorry, it's all very German weather today. My excuse is that something similar in the Netherlands (and Belgium, as far as I know) all not occur. Finally I found something at ' RS 150 - On Air "- no German, but English. Titled "A friend of ours " is about a young anthroposophist in May 2002 was killed in a train crash in England. It is extremely well written, I am amazed at how this is done, in "The London Evening Standard. But first the announcement from the Rudolf Steiner Express
I do warn you in advance: you must have strong nerves to do this without too much trouble to read. And in a good tradition 'our bloggers' for this kind of emotional issues, a Music tip seems appropriate to me in terms of vote: "Buzz Ohio Blood" by The National (May of last year released CD High Violet). Then here's "Brilliant Lives Cut Short 'by Keith Dovkants, posted May 13, 2002:
" The handsome young man who Squeezed His 6ft 4in frame Writing one of the green and burgundy seats probably did not recognise the venerable BBC journalist and his wife, a celebrated author.
And no one could have known the two young Chinese women, although in their native Taiwan they were famous faces for millions of television viewers.
Further down the carriage a graceful and athletic woman in her late twenties took her seat, unaware, as was everyone else, that the black man sitting nearby was an African prince.
In precisely 11 minutes, these individuals, unknown to each other, were to share an appallingly tragic destiny. There is often bitter irony in catastrophe, but only now, as their stories emerge, do we know just how much the victims of the Potters Bar rail crash had in common.
It is especially poignant that these strangers were all gifted in some way, were all determined to make a contribution to society and, perhaps saddest of all, were on the brink of realising happiness for which they had strived.
As the Networker express accelerated away from Platform-Nine at King’s Cross, catering steward Karl Brodrick began arranging his trolley of drinks and sandwiches. With luck, he would be busy as far as Cambridge, the first stop, then relax before King’s Lynn, the end of his shift and home.
The tall young man, Jonael Schickler had, as ever, a book to hand. He could have been mistaken for a model, although the notion would probably have prompted that wide grin that delighted his friends. Mr Schickler, 15 days away from his 26th birthday, was determined to be known not for his looks, but for his mind.
How he would have revelled in the company of Austen Kark. Mr Kark, at 75, was a half century older, a brilliant journalist who had run the BBC’s World Service during the early 1980s, a man who became renowned for his ability to combine rigorous intellectual standards with a talent for enjoying a glass of Gevrey-Chambertin. Before the Second World War Mr Kark had been a friend of C.S. Lewis at Oxford. What would the young Jonael Schickler have made of that? Mr Schickler was three weeks away from completing his PhD at Cambridge in “Metaphysics as Christology: an Odyssey of the Self from Kant and Hegel to Rudolf Steiner.”
Like C.S. Lewis he was deeply committed to the exploration of philosophy and Christianity, the creed instilled in him by his mother Diana. Until recently she taught at the Michael Hall school in Forest Row, East Sussex, where Mr Schickler and his brother Johannes studied. The family has German-Swiss origins and they follow the teachings of the school’s inspiration, Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher.
Mr Schickler was fired by an ambition to contribute his own thinking to this philosophy. Douglas Hedley, a Fellow at Clare College, Cambridge, knew him well. He said: “Jonael was an extraordinarily brilliant student with a stunning character. He was a highly intelligent and deeply spiritual young man with an immense physical presence. He was very athletic and good-looking. He was handsome enough to have been a film star, but he wasn’t vain.”
Heading back to his rooms at Cambridge, Mr Schickler never knew that Mr Kark, sitting just a few seats away had studied with his hero C.S. Lewis – the man who wrote: “I gave in and admitted that God was God and knelt and prayed.”
Mr Kark had recently inspired prayer among his family and friends. A short time ago he was diagnosed suffering from a brain tumour. For an energetic man who, at the age of 74 had written his first crime novel, The Forwarding Agent, this was a desperate blow. But skilful surgery saved his life and when he boarded the Cambridge Cruiser at King’s Cross on Friday he had everything to live for. His old friend P.D. James had been a great encouragement in his crime writing endeavours. It was to be hoped there would be another book.
With Mr Kark was his wife of 48 years, Nina Bawden, the acclaimed novelist who was to survive the crash, although she is still recovering from serious injuries including a broken collarbone. The couple were on their way to Norfolk, looking forward to a weekend with their son Robert.
As the graffiti stained buildings and walls of suburban London gave way to the first flashes of green and the meadows of Hertfordshire, Alex Ogunwusi contemplated a busy day ahead. Mr Ogunwusi – known to the members of his Nigerian tribe as Prince Alexander Adetunji Mubo Ogunwusi – was travelling to Cambridge. He had recently realised a lifetime ambition and qualified as a solicitor. He joined Afrifra and Partners in the Oval a few weeks ago and great things were expected of him.
He was on his way to the Oakington reception centre where he was to take up the case of an asylum seeker. At home in Tulse Hill were his wife Sola, daughters Janet, 13, Margaret eight, Hannah five and his son Samuel, 10. They were among the many who contributed to the persistent, desperate ringing of mobile telephones that is the aftermath of the modern train crash. As his mobile rang, Prince Alex, 42, was dying of internal bleeding.
Emma Knights, a 29-year-old computer wizard who worked for Oracle, was on her way home. As the Class 365 express reached its 100mph cruising speed she may have been thinking of her garden, which was her delight. Miss Knights – always called Em by her family and friends – played a lot of sport and adored sailing. She was a natural athlete and was a leading member of Oracle’s women’s athletics team.
But her most special talent was for friendship, her colleague and close friend Julia Hurst said. Miss Knights was less than an hour from home as the train left London behind. The weekend was ahead and Miss Knights, who was never more happy than when she cooked for her friends, may have been planning a meal. Perhaps, if the weather was right, they could lunch al fresco .... The train hurtled northwards; Oakleigh Park, New Barnet and Hadley Wood flashed by.
In the last carriage Lin Chia-Hsin, 29, was with her closest friends. She had been a star television journalist in Taiwan but came to London to do a master’s degree and now was preparing to head home and begin a new phase in her career.
But first she wanted to show her friend Wu Chia-Ching, 32, the sights of Cambridge. Wu was also a television journalist and she had travelled to London for a holiday with her former colleague and close friend. With her was Liu Hai-Roh, 35, another friend who now works as an anchor for a television station in Hong Kong. Ms Liu survived the crash but remains critically ill. She does not know her friends are dead.
The line is arrow straight on the approach to Potters Bar. The last major feature is a bridge over a main road through the town, a route that Agnes Quinlivan often walked. She celebrated her 80th birthday two weeks ago, a grandmother of eight and a great grandmother of two. She moved to the town at the age of 15 from Ireland, although she never lost the cadences of her country’s speech or its deep faith. She devoted herself to the sick and the dying, and for the past five years acted as a Eucharistic minister, taking communion to the bedridden. She was on her way home from Mass, walking under the bridge over which the train had just travelled.
The witnesses say it happened with a sound like thunder. The last carriage careered, then rolled then impacted with the force of an explosion. The debris from the bridge killed Mrs Quinlivan on the street below. In the chaos above, the strangers who had taken their last journey together, lay dead or dying.
