Red Dots On Tongue Feeling Sick

Arrival

View from the square in front of Notre-Dame in Paris to the west.

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 - Wien
8:00 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 - Wien
4:30 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 - Vienna
11:00 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 2011
about 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 2011
stop 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 February 28, 2011 8:03 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! "
'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
' This article describes some of the threads specical people who share the destiny of dying together in a train accident. One of Them was Jonael Schickler, a young anthroposophical philosopher. "
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.

Target


Today is the final goal achieved, thereby becoming the beginning. For this birthday is of course the ultimate point: Steiner's 150th birthday. If I still think of how it all began with plans for the festivities ... I was certainly skeptical. Read " Passport" on January 31, 2010, only after. And you have noticed in recent weeks, I became more excited. Now I live every day with the Rudolf Steiner Express and follow them closely. Today it reached Vienna, where the travelers a receipt is prepared in the Hofburg, with a welcome by the Austrian Federal President and I think a classical concert. But first had to make the necessary hardships, as befits a survival. Yesterday it was reported on a "trans Sibirische Eisenbahn ':
" Im Speisewagen ist die Heizung ausgefallen. Women in Travel Enden und Mützen zittern that. Der Preis für Tee bleibt bei zwei Euro warm. "
Later that day came this message from ' Neudörfl ':
Der RS150 befindet sich aktuell in Neudorfl Express. Die Grunde aus historischem, vorgehängte Diesel Lock wechselte während das Zugende that Zuggemeinde Herzlich Empfang wurde mit Reason. Derzeit walk for wagons separate groups through the village, led by local lawyers and experts, and then again to a coffee break in the local Rudolf Steiner Cultural Center to come together. Here for coffee water from the spa Sauerbrunn is served by Steiner experts from the fairy tale of the miracle a source term. The sun glitzlt that the train sold Waldorf-Astoria cigarette prazzelt and the beloved of Viennese apple strudel bruzzelt Steiner in the furnace to the pilgrims. " We hebben ook
een reporting Gehad over 'arrival in Brunn am Gebirge', maar dat is nu net vanochtend helaas vervangen door ' * Vienna ':
'Rudolf Steiner Express stays 150 in Garage Wiener, who Zugbewohner während zum feiern durch die Strassen ziehen. "
There is something added, at the very beginning: "Flashmob Das offizielle Video . I have in recent days had already extensively. And if we start video contemporaries, I can still recommend a few Ridzerd Dijk. Who has the opportunity to increase the joy in his anniversary message " Rudolf Steiner 150 years " two beautiful set. But Hugo Verbrugh can be determined along. In his "Midnight Sun" he is today no less than five posts at intervals of two and half hours, successively ' 27/02/1861. A birthday cake with candles for 150 Steiner "exactly at midnight," 27/02/1861. A World-Rudolf Steiner Anthroposophy year to a worldwide scale? 'at half past two last night, " 02/27/1861. Anthroposophy, to square the circle and the grace 'for five hours early in the morning, 27/02/1861. The Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe Wikileaks as a kind of "avant la date? 'at half past seven this morning and the last, " 27/02/1861. Ask Rudolf Steiner: " you actually answer the final questions? "" to ten hours. You do not have to worry whether Verbrugh sometimes shows signs of insomnia, because this is all nicely pre-programmed. '15 These bits of text on anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) in five portions' under the title "I hope I'm not too bored," in the style we are accustomed Hugo Verbrugh :
'1. "... anthroposophist - but still ... "
2. Rudolf Steiner and we
3. "He looked right through you"
4. It could be otherwise
5. A new link in the golden chain between man and the cosmos
6. I, my money and my freedom
7. "Careful nothing"
8. Content, interaction, process
9. "What does a name mean?"
10. "I did not know I had it in me"
11. The written legacy of Rudolf Steiner
12. "The natural things are not shameful"
13. Why would a man want to know anything about anthroposophy?
14. A neurotic marmot
15. What do I do? Without reincarnation nowhere! "
The best response to date came right at a quarter past two tonight in the first portion of "Joost sr ':
"Exaggeration you now not that little bit with Steiner? It seems to be Jesus Christ Superstar. I heard today that I know how many millions of responses were on a site about God. Sorry, I occasionally uncontrollable desire to pester. "
Moreover, the imminent closure of the Movie Blog is (temporarily) averted. They remain at least until June 1 online. By this time a takeover by publisher Sanoma planned. This was announced on February 22. Read the latest comments on ' Vkblog, adieu: DW 3, countdown (2). Roman Catholic Church, also bye? There may come a "church permit" . And while Verbrugh already was taking extended leave recently, throughout the month of February in fact. He confessed the next day ' There is always the unexpected: we will continue our Vkblog! A message about security and so "in an existential crisis have ended:
" Can I insure against any future existential crisis when I last time've made after the liquidation of our Uk Blog by March 1 threatened ?
What else on the Internet in honor of the 150th birthday? I'm not so much, not least in the Netherlands. Maybe it is today, it is also possible. The Goetheanum its homepage adjusted. Same applies to the homepage of the weekly Das Goetheanum. But much more than that is not. It seems that De Stentor an article about 150 years Steiner has appeared, but I have not seen. Furthermore, I believe no newspaper or magazine is non-anthroposophical attention. So we must again move to the German speaking countries, because this is totally different. Yesterday in 'Die Welt Online' a detailed article about Mateo Kries' Rudolf Steiner who beeinflusst wieder Avantgarde. Mateo Kries is one of the two directors of the Vitra Design Museum and curator of the exhibition 'Rudolf Steiner - The Alchemy des Alltag. Hij schrijft in 'The World':
'More than Waldorf or esoteric. Meanwhile, artists such as Konstantin Grcic and Olafur Eliasson belong to Rudolf Steiner.

It started weeks ago. First published three biographies bring to light in Steiner's secretive life to. One wonders of "time" to "Star", what the "myth of Waldorf School" was it. And on Thursday launched a special train, the various stations of Steiner's life and leaves is expected to arrive this Sunday in Vienna. There, the highlight will be held the birthday celebrations, a festival in Vienna Imperial Palace under the auspices of the Austrian Federal President. The occupation of the Honorary Committee of Jakob von Uexküll enough to the Austrian ski legend Franz Klammer.

Measured on the excitement scale of the cultural industry attention, Steiner is with such a birthday program near the top. A few years ago this would have been unthinkable. Steiner was the founder of an alternative culture in the margins of society, not as part of our overall cultural landscape. At regular intervals, breaking allegations of racism and anti-Semitism on a regular basis, these re-buried. So what has led to the Steiner now experiencing such a breakthrough in public perception?

About Goethe he came to nature mysticism

worthwhile purpose, first a look at our current picture of Rudolf Steiner. He was born in 1861 in the small patches Kraljevec southeast of Vienna, in what is now Croatia. After his graduation he studied in Vienna with Franz Brentano, hired himself as a teacher, worked from 1890 in Weimar at the Goethe Sophia output and a doctorate in Heinrich von Stein in Rostock on "The fundamental question of epistemology with special reference to Fichte. Soon he found himself again in Berlin, where he was literary Magazines published in artist circles with Stefan Zweig and Else Lasker-Schüler wrong and the teaching of Wilhelm Liebknecht founded workers' education school. Everything pointed to a promising career as a writer and philologist.

But early Steiner had been found open to spiritual movements in the late 19 Century were everywhere. On Goethe, he had come to questions of nature mysticism and symbolism of colors, 1902, he became general secretary of the Theosophical Society in Germany. When confronted with the occult shares of that company were too strong, he founded in 1913, as if this mutual counter-model, the Anthroposophical Society.

The basic ideas of Anthroposophy Steiner sketched in the years before, they circled around the central questions of life reform movement, so pretty much everything: the relationship between mind and matter, between art and technology, man and cosmos, about healthy nutrition and proper child education, but also curious to topics such as angels and hierarchies alchemical elements teachings.

Since Steiner Anthroposophy quickly spread to live very close ranges, it spread with astonishing momentum. 1914 to 1918 was created for the growing number of companions known as the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, and with him a still existing colony. In 1919, Steiner became the founder of Waldorf schools, in 1924 he initiated the biodynamic agriculture, he also founded companies with names like "The next day," from which today's global companies like Weleda are formed.

found in his books are strange things

to Steiner's funeral in Basel, thousands of people. Preceded the funeral procession drove a Maybach, had given him the same industrial family to commute between Dornach and Stuttgart, where now there were a number of anthroposophical institutions.

on such a sketchy outline of Steiner's life so far, most conflicts were based with his ideas. Since Steiner was opened up real life and work of the many platitudes also slightly moved is based upon the interpretation of his writings and lectures available, and there are many - over 300 volumes comprising the complete edition of his works to this day. This has not gutgetan Steiner because therein which admittedly were oddities. The result was Steiner's reputation as the Astral-Marx, a New Age guru or, as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung put it sardonically as "great madman of German intellectual history." They knew little about him, but the Few people knew exactly.

Kandinsky heard his lectures

crumble with the newly awakened interest in Steiner but now the walls of half-knowledge that one has built around him. What emerges is behind it, a figure that is more diverse and more influential than previously thought. A figure whose relevance to our society today we can not ignore, can the same as you stand on particular aspects of Steiner's work.

To reveal the three new biographies of Steiner that it is not in his lifetime was the social distance cult leader, as he gladly placed is. Instead, Steiner was a central figure of the early modern age in the crystallized issues of the day - from the search for the spiritual in art "on the labor question up to the hygiene discourse or the compatibility of natural and social sciences.

Wassily Kandinsky heard his lectures, Franz Kafka was looking at him for advice in literary matters, Piet Mondrian wrote to him, Else Lasker-Schüler regularly asked him for money. burned down in 1922/23 as the first Goetheanum, he expressed the young architect Richard Neutra in Berlin his condolences. In sync with Steiner went through many of these artists 1900-1920, a phase which is called "Forward and could be called desire "of modernity.

When the Bauhaus moved, died Steiner

Eventually, however, began a schism between the avant-garde and Steiner, the Steiner has shaped our perceptions today. From the early 1920s, more and more representatives of the avant-garde expressionist-waving from their lofty ideas of the early modernity to a rationalist course. Steiner and his ideas on the other hand went through this change, because Steiner died in 1925 - and in exactly that year, as for example, the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau, and broke from its esoteric roots of Johannes Itten. Or as Marcel Breuer's tubular steel chair, designed to put those aesthetics to the world that look to the stone hand-carved wooden furniture today as the establishment of a Dr. Caligari.

With their emancipation from their romantic roots of the modern age began to be seen as a great rationalist project that would inevitably amount to a more rational interpenetration of art and technology. Rudolf Steiner had skin in such an image of modernity is no more room and got gout those of the outsider, we are experiencing today. While Steiner's anthroposophical ideas continued writing almost unchanged, creating a fossil of a particular historical epoch, took the rest of society to appreciate the isolation - because she gave birth to them, to deal further with the actual substance of having to Steiner.

began after the turn of the Renaissance

This division of roles fit perfectly into the image of society of the postwar period, the broad middle class and a clear left-right assignments was marked. Alternative ideas such as the Steiners were in it for no more than the hippie movement, the New Age movement or acceptable as cues for the grassroots founding ideas of the Greens. As late as the 1980s, the Waldorf pupils strange creatures in knitted sweaters, had to in violin lessons, while the other kids in the afternoon the "The Fall Guy" were allowed to watch.

But eventually crumbled the certainty of a homogeneous society in which Steiner was standing on the edge. When the East-West borders fell and disappeared the ideological big conflict of the postwar period, there was a post-ideological society in which there is no single niche for Steiner - but a large number of social groups that Steiner's thoughts on search for meaning, sustainability and responsibility took up in one form or another.

Even Joseph Beuys was impressed

was also for this finding, the art is an important pioneering role. Said Harald Szeemann was already in his legendary exhibition "The slope of the total work of art" 1983 stones and brought them out of their art historical isolation. Exhibition on "occult and avant-garde" in 1995 contributed to the realization that modernism was not just a one-sided rationalist era even, but a bipolar phenomenon, which oscillated between materialism, mechanization, and the many counter-movements. Since then, it is recognized that Steiner such as artists like Joseph Beuys significantly influenced and in our view of history 20th Century will be newly located.

During the 1990s, and in other areas more clearly how far Steiner's ideas have become diffused in our society. Awareness of organic foods was given to the BSE crisis in late 2000, a decisive thrust, since such foods are found in every supermarket. Waldorf schools have become an increasingly pluralistic education market coveted training places, drugs and cosmetics by Weleda and Wala are now found in every pharmacy. Since the economic and financial crisis of 2008 are also Steiner's economic ideas to become a popular topic when it comes to "social entrepreneurship and sustainable business goes.

parallels to everyday aesthetics

This was accompanied by amazing parallels in our contemporary aesthetics of everyday life. In architecture we started talking again of metamorphic forms of ArchiSculpture and organic structures, and what came of it reminded often of building sculptures Steiner, Paul Virilio has called "telluric architecture." At the same time participated in the designs of famous designers such as Konstantin Grcic and the Bouroullec brothers, shapes, reminiscent of the crystalline designs from the hands of Steiner. What in the early modern aesthetics as an experimental Search for meaning began today seems to reflect the diffuse need to provide things and buildings of the digital age with a symbolically charged superstructure.

Considering all these reflections Steiner's ideas in our culture today is so clearly what the amazing rediscovery is based. Unlike almost any other thinker of the 20th Century dared Steiner, aesthetic, philosophical, religious and everyday thoughts of uniting to form a complete panel, the same time the world saw itself as a work of art.

projection of desires

What Steiner "Thinking in Color, in forms" had called and Joseph Beuys to the concept of "social sculpture" inspired, is reflected today in the approach, consider more and more areas of our society as a "design", in addition to its conceptual and abstract qualities and structurally -pictorial elements include. All this makes him a projection of the desires of a society in which one tries desperately to fill a term such as "holistic" with meaning.

Given the current Steiner renaissance is already almost wish that his pugnacity it will not be forgotten. Finally, makes someone just as significantly, where in our society still run the ideological dividing lines. There must be a Steiner imagine today, he would at least not the unworldly prophet, to which he has long been made. Rather, one could imagine him as a popular talk show guest, of a new connection between sustainability and aesthetics, philosophy of preaching and daily life. A symbiosis of Al Gore, Rem Koolhaas, Paulo Coelho and Alain de Botton, then? Maybe, but certainly original.

Earthquake

Make no mistake: this is the Notre-Dame in Paris!

And the journey continues, was continued yesterday. See also 'On the rails . The messages from ' RS 150 - On Air "were gestokt temporarily. They have since been completed. "Ein Tag in der Wüste 'reports about (unfortunately, is no date and time, a message needed to properly date):

In ' Zugvogelgesang "called that" Unterwegs zur nach Geburtstagsfeier Kraljevic' is. But first ' Car lovers and hardships in the club car ':
' "Better to eat steak, think, as a scavenger," said Daniel Porsche launches its contribution. The quote is from Steiner. All chairs in the club car, which becomes our living rooms are occupied. A former Waldorf students and eternal car enthusiasts loosens the mood. Ideals, such as how to eat no meat, will not make sense if we are not can handle it. Porsche has a child in any case hardly adhered to regulations. In his "great book of school tricks" this is carried out in great detail. Sixty specially tested tricks, he presents it.

Very different nature of the research by Karl-Dieter Bodack, also recorded in book form. "Anthroposophy is a strain," said his thesis, because it leads to a confrontation with evil. He does not believe that his book say it all. Open sides give the reader space for his own additions ... '
Opeens he is deze verrassing, een 'world premiere ' zelf:
'In the archives of Budapest is a previously-lost tale of the young Rudolf Steiner's been discovered. Called "The Ring" es ist erster signal abgedruckter erschien Text und in der "Karlsburg Wochenschrift" im August 1884.

Then we see the farthest destination already achieved, "Donje Kraljevec . The pilgrimage unfortunately does not dub movies, just photos on Flickr. But they are already beautiful. "Second day from rs150onair on Flickr 'it says invitingly. It must be late in the day, with an evening sun against a cold sky, everywhere I see thick winter coats. But the village and the area around the station look just as it did in old photographs, same atmosphere. And then ... I seem suddenly the bike from Steiner to discern! The photos are not numbered, so I can not identify. You will be automatically against it. Ridzerd Dijk had already spotted him very alert, in his message " Rudolf Steiner - Half Truths worse than whole errors. It is cheerful dance, play music - it's all the pictures to see.

No word on date of February 25, and why that day should be Kraljevec. But I did last year was revealed on Saturday, February 27, 2010 in "side issues . I read once where the article mentioned the correct date of birth Aschoff Günther Steiner:
'Den Forschung Post lesen Sie im \u0026lt;Goetheanum> Nr. 9 / 2009 vom 27. Februar oder direkt here. "
I find this very convincing at second reading, where I was last year, not quite. Very nice is the contribution of Walter Kugler, director of the Rudolf Steiner Archiv, "Wir haben nichts zu hide but . Zum 144. Geburtstag und 80. Todestag von Rudolf Steiner. That must all strains from 2005. In the recent discussion of recent days Lieven Debrouwere I find this a very appropriate position, straight from the unsuspected corner of the anthroposophical center in Switzerland from:
'Februar, März, das ist die Hoch-Zeit der Biograph in Sachen Rudolf Steiner, erst der Geburtstag, der dann Todestag. Who but nah diese beieinander lie! Diesmal habe ich mir firmly resolved to say that Rudolf Steiner was born in Hungary, because other and "the Other in me," before repeatedly said and written that he in Austria-Hungary, a nation-state uncanny fusion of entity it but 1861 does not was born there. Mergers, which teaches us the recent history of the Anthroposophical society are closely related to confusion, or how else can we explain that we will call this week by the General Anthroposophical Society, the Federal Court to a decision and thus get clarity on that Fusion between the Anthroposophical Society and the former Building Association (which is the construction Goetheanumbauten of care) has taken place or not, so that a merger that is not really, but could be one or something like that. In short: For some, just not without courts clear whether the AAG is really existing or not. But let the word of the merger but simply gone, and it fits not even then, where is constant talk of him that it was in the pub, on the Exchange or elsewhere. Pity that so little has Associative advocate.

This time I'll say very clearly that Rudolf Steiner on 27 February, the light of day, despite all the contradictions arising from attempts at interpreting the basis of the crucial points unreadable copies of baptismal certificate or the correspondence of Miss von Bredow (see "Contributions to the GA» Issue 49/50) or just due to different spellings of the hand of Rudolf Steiner himself, arise. As an archivist has to stick to facts - a word that is sometimes even used as a weapon, just not what it's always very nice. And they say that in all relevant documents, ie passports, residence permits, residence or issued certificates of good conduct, but also in writing Rudolf Steiner to the various offices always the day of the 27th February is specified. And for an editor is so ever since the iron rule that works in the "Issue Last edit at hand "and there is now prevail, the first chapter of" My life transition ", written in late 1923:" In Kraljevec I'm on 27 Born in February 1861. "That was Rudolf Steiner's final written statement on the subject. But we should not forget also that which lives in the souls of the people is something real. And so sometimes facts are facts and against people just because we are, let us take the decision, not a fact which we announce today or tomorrow to be preferred.

was true, however, and always will be, that Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian citizen - for life. The naturalization in Switzerland was him, despite numerous Attorney, namely failure remained. You could see the country's security at risk because of "communist activities" and the "undermining the moral health through the methods of a ruthless operated vampirism." And since the overthrow of the state order have money also cost a lot of money, had to double the informant of the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's hard to equal with the claim that were "in the area of the Dornach building secretly accumulated treasures of gold." (Letter from CA Bernoulli to the Federal Prosecutor of 13 May 1921, Bundesarchiv Bern).

I should also talk again about Rudolf Steiner, the great initiates, as other speakers do. That gave me last year, whispered a patient audience after a lecture. - Yes, he's right, but there are words that live only in the soul. They do not tolerate excessive draft and will not be true in that they are always up in front of the audience like giant scenes once in Bayreuth. I admit, I have an aversion to nominalists that use the word "mystery" or "Rosicrucian" in a paragraph as often as other points, commas and exclamation points. Since the intuition mutates quickly to the institution. The initiate, so I tried it out myself from the words of Rudolf Steiner's spell, has a job, and which is also the mystical Atheists of our day can not be indifferent. It seeks to impart knowledge about what happens in the prenatal and afterlife, and therefore, always be borne in mind that there is an immortality of the soul. Let's talk more of these tasks and what the before and behind the border moves. In short, we must be silent in words, much like Gadamer when he spoke the name Hölderlin. And we must not continue to force them to turn outward again to the depths. No, we will hide nothing desperately, for the spirit of the time, Rudolf Steiner at the Christmas Conference, tolerates the outer secrecy, the interior very well. No, we have nothing to hide, but we always have to pass through that needle's eye of a critical consciousness that is as against the question: Compared to why should we give more credence to an initiate as a scientist or my immediate? An issue such as Case, "mistrust" to place, is as absurd as the relationship of trust - trust someone not to recognize.

Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly clear: Our relationship to the spirit of the time is sometimes very disturbed. Many a respected lecturer and author from our polarized circles where it is really to build bridges. The one who ceases and we read more often, to ingratiate himself with the times, while seeking the truth of us is the substance of the esoteric. No, that polar grotesque the world is not ordered and with the reality, such a view has nothing to do. As must we not wonder if meet many of those who act in anthroposophical institutions are close to the pulse of the time, all that sounds to uncosted time since diagnosis over, with great skepticism. Since it is also of benefit to not mourn the loss of members, but because it simply needs more confidence-building measures, more clarity of thought and, above all, a bit more love, for love, so I did it once with my philosophy professor learned, simple interest at the other. The enemy, however, the Esoteric is the end in itself.

Rudolf Steiner's personal library of more than 9,000 books that had passed every high-profile scholars to the glory bears witness of his interest in all that the spirit of the time what the other has to say, and he has this interest is not concealed, but in countless lectures raised. This part of the local Steiner-performers do not want to take note, is a crux compare, the exclusiveness with which one takes his case to another and a third speaking in superlatives. No, Rudolf Steiner's language is not a work of art per se - that he would also not for himself claimed little as this great poet like Celan, Mandelstam and Neruda have done, but Rudolf Steiner's words are more wondrous results of its immensely challenging translation work are messages from the original source of all being, each of which senses that it had been something like this and will be. The world of the mind has no display, where you can read everything, and each as on an electronic billboard simple, but the spirit world manifests itself in vague images and sounds, rhythms, and in anti-rhythms. Above all, it is subject to different laws than the people trusted us first. And all to bring the in the language of understanding, is a feat unimaginable proportions. And all of these codes would not have been interpreted by Rudolf Steiner, when he is not relentlessly by what the spirit of the time to register in books, had worked through. The fact that Steiner was heard, his words were given weight, yes, as his Weimar interlocutor Gabriele Reuter later in her biography noted that he "people paid their souls newly added," There is a reason that he speak to his way in his readers and listeners may have the same emotion triggered as it can otherwise only the art.

Sometimes - and I should probably talk about it sometimes in a lecture - is discussed in our circles to theaters, and it sounds over the hill, We will not make a fuss out how here. But how does one out there because in fact? That there are differences between the sky-high Thalia Theater, the Theater am Neumarkt, and the stage, every child knows. And even within an ensemble, there is no one face, but many. Some people bow down before the creation, others destroy it.

prenatal and after death, angels and nature spirits, reincarnation and karma, they have long since taken hold in the dramaturgy and choreography our time, sometimes terribly distorted, sometimes in the form of sensitive images of the soul. They all need our attention as the visual artists, among which the cosmologists about the group Zero eventually bowed to the dictates of Sigmar Polke's "Higher order being: upper right corner paint black triangle." It is the up and down the back and forth in the art, and this is their dynamics and what will get us if we withdraw we do not know. No one expects us to imitate them, but many will be traveling to Dornach, if they feel welcome as guests. Art, taught us Rilke, is a process in which one always goes to the end. - And there, waiting often the abyss. Art - and the same goes for science - is not fixed for all time system.

Yes, if we as anthroposophists together, it is often a very warm feeling. The real world is out there then forget it and will take passionate disputes silent in oh so beloved circle of chairs where the juxtaposition is sometimes more important than our opponent. Undoubtedly, the everyday life of many is characterized by all of it has to offer the time of possibilities and impossibilities. But in the conferences so many anthroposophical institution, a Steiner cycle on the knees, is often more hidden than exposed, more secure than solved. No wonder that not many go.

Maybe I'll end my speech with an impression of Sils Maria. There is at present - and until the summer - in Nietzsche's house an exhibition of Solothurn from coming to see living in Vienna and at the Art Academy in Dusseldorf teaching artist Helmut Federle. Among the works is one titled "anthroposophical forms" and then read the catalog of Federle affection to the Goetheanum. Recently, I've met him in Vienna, with the Appenzeller ring in your ears and fingers anthroposophical gem. As wonderful life is mixed. But you have to get involved themselves already '
Na al deze feestelijkheden the seriousness and tragedy of the moment. I do not mean Libya, although it well could. No, I think at the other end of the world. Following are the first visitors of this blog, which is really all over the world come to come. The built-in statistics and states to show which countries they come from. I am truly amazed as I would also except logical toppers like the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany (both 10% similar in the number of Dutch), the United States do (there again half) and then joining Switzerland and United Kingdom also encounter New Zealand (all three 20% of the number of the U.S.). In half again to follow France, Russia and Austria. This is based on all measurements made of pageviews between May 2010 and February 2011, with a total of nearly 75,000. In much smaller numbers, but still significant, I then also South Korea (!), Spain, Poland, Denmark, Canada and even Iran are.

What matters to me now, is New Zealand. Hans Klis morning message on the website of NRC Handelsblad on "Death toll Christchurch to 145 ':
" The number of victims of the earthquake in New Zealand has risen to 145. More than two hundred others are still missing, reports AP. According to experts, the clean-up efforts at the center of the stricken city Christchurch take months.

on Tuesday struck an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale in the early afternoon the city and created an enormous havoc. Prime Minister John Key is one of the largest earthquake disasters in New Zealand ever.

Hundreds of rescuers have been deployed to search for survivors. But there is little hope that they still found since Wednesday there are no longer alive from the rubble removed.

Key said the New Zealand government Monday the arrival of an emergency financial package will announce for the more than fifty thousand inhabitants of the city as a result of the earthquake unemployed. Christchurch has a total of three hundred inhabitants.

Upcoming Tuesday, the victims are remembered with two minutes silence.
More pictures of the city after the earthquake here and here .
Read more about the earthquake in Christchurch . "
Reporter Henrico Prince of the Times Thursday gave an eyewitness report, entitled ' The day after the earthquake - The real problem lies in the mental blow ' , so much clearer what is really happening:
Three buckets of water. With the bike in hand I walk to the neighbors, one hundred meters away. They have a spring in the garden that we quickly embracing. Moments later I walk back home, two sloshing buckets on the wheel and a large bucket on the carrier.

Living in a disaster: it is, if everyone around you is unscathed, best. Problem is that the everyday things so much time that you easily can be occupied for whole days. The trip to the neighbors I'll make ten times in one day. And then we have the luxury of a source to the corner - about 80 percent of Christchurch since the earthquake on Tuesday without water.

Tanks

Most residents have to join them at one of the points in the city where large tankers with drinking water stand established. And who on the streets, immediately gets to the big puzzle that life suddenly has become. Your way from A to B by the many roads impassable a perilous adventure. Purchase food and drink is quite complicated: the local shop there has milk on sale, snack bar sells bags of chips, and further it is mainly a matter of not being picky.

But these are all problems that so soon after the disaster, are not yet acute. Most can be a time ahead with the stock food and drink that every New Zealander to public opinion continues.

blow

The real difficulty lies these days in the mental blow that has hit us all full. We were just picking up the earthquake six months ago, the aftershocks just seemed to subside. That the pattern will repeat itself now, is hardly a process perspective.

It was in September, also what surprised me most when I first in my life had experienced an earthquake. These aftershocks. Of course, sometimes you hear it, but where read that you are one hundred times a day you get fired, they can be very intense and it can take months and months before they fade away? They are especially tiring because you need every time delete unexpected turn: we dive under a table or are we stuck? Our oldest son said, "If they're a timetable would give something like: the aftershocks come at such a time, it would have to be. But you never know when they come, I think actually the worst of everything. "

Pleasant idea

When we first moved to New Zealand were, one and a half years ago, we noticed structurally immediately how the public and the media attention to the natural disaster gets taught. We found it nice to know the kids at school are drilled. The slogan drop, cover and hold is already ingrained in children: dive under something solid and stick to it. Our youngest son, Sat on Tuesday in the school when the first blow came, looked around the lamps from the ceiling coming down. He knew exactly what to do.

Still it was a disappointment that we have the practical translation of that slogan so soon proved necessary to have. But it takes us so far little effort to put things in proportion to continue to see. We have a roof over our heads, we have to eat and outlet is power. As long as the source the neighbors is not dry, we're not worried. "
I have a moment when lifted because if the message of News Network Anthroposophy (NNA), last night by Christian von Arnim placed "" Our little city is in ruins "- one school's account of coping with the aftermath of the New Zealand earthquake, " its full weight to:
" In the aftermath of the Devastating Earthquake Which hit the New Zealand city of Christchurch on Wednesday, the residents of the city are law enforcement to cope with Their losses and start to rebuild their lives. International rescue teams are continuing to search for survivors, but Prime Minister John Keys says he believes more than 200 people have died.

Anthroposophical communities, too, have been deeply affected. The Hohepa curative home survived the quake but many demands have been placed on both the co-workers and residents. Colleagues from the two Hohepa Homes in the North Island have been sent to provide relief and support.

For the Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School it has been a traumatic time. This is vividly expressed in an email on behalf of the teachers from the principal of the school, Thomas Proctor, who movingly describes the impact of the earthquake:

“Thank you everyone who has contacted me over the last days. Our little city is in ruins. There is tragedy everywhere that you see both in the news and things that you may never hear. It is so, so awful and fills me with tears that so many people have died, so many have torn amputations, spinal injuries, crushed bodies, weeping spirits and that the whole city is ruined - from every historic building to the most modern. The effects will be decades in rebuilding.

“We personally are OK. My family is OK and we have had damage but minor compared to most.

“School was evacuated at 12.51 on Tuesday. Getting out of my office was like trying to walk on a rocking ship’s deck – grasping for hand rails before being tossed in the other direction. Files were falling, draws flying open. The kids ran to their designated areas. Everyone was accounted for. Children were weeping and hugging. Many of the teachers who were terrified after the last quake were pale and shaking but overcame this to bring calmness to their classes. I am so proud of them all. Most kids jackets were inside. It got colder and, with big quakes every few minutes, their anxiety rose – especially as they saw houses on the hills behind us collapsing.

“Our flash text communication system with every parent was useless as power was gone. We waited and parents slowly and frantically arrived. Some had run from the city centre and brought stories of modern buildings collapsing. Others told of roads broken and water gushing onto the streets, liquefaction creating gaping holes in roads. St Martins supermarket – just over the river – was impossible to get to. The kindergarten children sat with Robyn and Frances and Annalie and Ellen and their helpers. They kept assuring the little Tamariki.

“In the lower school, children sat in their class groups. All our practises for fire drills were so helpful - we had class lists ticked off, barley sugars, blankets and stories. The upper school, who are usually a little frisky about fire drills were superb, contained and supportive of each other.

“We watched quake after quake ripple across the school land, saw cracks like lightening bolts appear in the concrete slabs. We could hear the deep rumble of the next quake seconds before it struck. As I walked around to each class I was so proud of our community of teachers and the increasing number of parents who brought in food, chocolate, bananas, pears, hugs, comfort and assurance.

“Lyttelton was cut off, Sumner and Redcliffs too, and there were reports that Diamond Habour was isolated. Text messages were intermittent. We were looking at evacuating to a welfare centre. But by 5pm most children were gone with someone who was either family or classmate. Parents who had lost their homes set up tents in the field.

“School is now closed. No water, no electricity. We have to wait for a building inspection before we can return. Ironically there was an insurance assessor inspecting damage from the last quake at school as it struck. He was upstairs in the staff workroom and saw all the computers fall to the ground. We don’t know when we will have water without sewerage as the entire infrastructure of the town is cracked. School could be a long time beginning.

“A few Steiner schools have offered to have children and families who want to get out of town. Thank you very, very much for the offers. I am trying to coordinate lists of frightened families (most have no power or water or cell phones or petrol) and places in schools that are available. We are looking at Federation [of Rudolf Steiner Schools in New Zealand] funds assisting this. If your school wants to do something for the earthquake you could raise money for these families or just raise money for Christchurch. The city’s needs will be ongoing for a long, long time. We wonder whether the central city will survive.

“If you aren’t in a position to do this, then pray for Christchurch and its suffering families – thank you very much.

“Another shock has just passed through – its a weird mixture of inner high alert and helplessness. The sense I get is that this is very different from the last quake. Apart from more deaths and more carnage, there is a weariness and exhaustion from months of vigilance That work and is now useless. That resilience to get up and get at it (like digging out the heavy clay liquefaction) is not as strong and is counter to the much talked about Canterbury indomitable spirit. I think we need to compromise long-term continual support on many levels to get over this one. "

Lumix Battery Initial Charging Time

on the rails


how it goes with the journey that began yesterday (see Traveling "), of course everyone wants to know. This morning there are new messages appeared to be traveling on the blog 'ON AIR RS 150', there is the rest of the day nothing added. Fortunately, Michael Eggert there that our " Provokativ 'signals to the' Website der Hochschule Alanus , Alfter." Indeed there is a great amount of photos brought together under the guidance of the text entitled "Das Mysterium findet statt im Hauptbahnhof ':
' Anlässlich des 150. Geburtstag von Rudolf Steiner startete am 24. Februar vom Kölner Hauptbahnhof der Rudolf-Steiner-Express. Students Alanus und Dozenten der Hochschule, aber auch viele Schüler und umliegender Waldorfschulen Transient spontaneous gestalteten the Auftakt des-Jubiläums Zuges: Der erste Eurythmy-Flashmob der Welt, eine und Slow-Motion Performance a pantomime with Milan Sladek were part of the program. After Zugtaufe by Rector Marcelo da Veiga Express leaving Cologne at 9:19 clock in the direction of Donje Kraljevec, the birthplace of Steiner.

"The mystery will not take place in the main station, the Goetheanum" Joseph Beuys said in a Spiegel interview in the 80s. What the artist believed that the ideas of Rudolf Steiner named as a central inspiration for his work to find here what he could not find in the center of Anthroposophy? Beuys was about perception. The station is full of stories. A colorful kaleidoscope, a wide field, outlined only broad categories of farewell and goodbye, everyday life and uniqueness. The people come in close proximity, but have the least to do with each other. Do they actually perceive each other?

The performances by students of the subject areas Architecture, eurythmy and drama seduced an eye-catcher and listening, sensing the other. They themed motion not as a means to an end but as an intrinsic value. So were cast for "Slow Motion" together in ever larger groups of steps, in slow motion of the staircase to the cathedral square to the track 1, from which the train started.

Eurythmy for the first flash mob in the world gathered on 250 students, teachers and random Pedestrians at the station forecourt. Within a few minutes turned the place into a giant stage on which they showed an episode eurythmy movement. Here, too, has been movement in isolation from the purpose of locomotion presented as art.

In addition to this huge flash mob action dealt a student group led by actor and performer Martin Horn with the modern phenomenon of "frantic standstill" and in another group, led by Nora Giese, were common prejudices, polemical assertions and wild rumors as to word, as Steiner himself - in quotes. The mime Milan Sladek took with his students stereotyped patterns of behavior on track 1 under the microscope.

The art activities initiated after all the solemn act of Zugtaufe by the President Marcelo da Veiga over. Promptly at 9:19 clock left the Rudolf-Steiner-Express Cologne Hauptbahnhof towards Donje Kraljevec, the birthplace of Steiner. At the various ions such as holding town of Stuttgart, Mannheim and Vienna took the Eurythmieprofessorin Andrea buckwheat also small art activities, among other things, she was practicing a with the passengers and passers-by a migratory bird song: The song of Rudolf Steiner's 150th Birthday.

Een other Michael, Michael Mentzel namelijk, heeft op zijn website 'Theme of time ' ook een duidelijk verslag kunnen Zett. Hij beschrijft hoe moeilijk is te de verbinding tillers vanuit een trein in Rijdende 'Rudolf Steiner. RS 150 on the road ':
' Rudolf Steiner The special train on the tracks. Eurythmieflashmob and Zugtaufe. Performance in front of Cologne Cathedral and actions at the station.

Cologne / Munich - After Eurythmieflashmob on Domtreppe front of Cologne Cathedral, a performance at the station forecourt and actions on the platform including Zugtaufe we'll get back to the RS 150 - the special train Rudolf Steiner - promptly at 9: 19 clock in motion. The goal for this first day of travel: Munich via Mannheim, Stuttgart and Ulm. With about 180 passengers who were seated in Cologne, we are using speaker announcement welcomed by the Inititatorin this special train action, Vera Koppehel, cordial, and we can already look forward short time later, the first event in the Rhine gold club car in which students Alanus University texts by Steiner and others recite, add your own review and songs. A tribute to Waldorf: "The real thing was Steiner" can not be missing. There is also a suggestion of the young students, Steiner translate once so that he would finally be better understood.

The travelers experience a very comfortable train journey with a wonderful service and nice on-board staff. Unfortunately there except in the dining car no electricity - who knows Windows Vista is to understand what is meant - so I probably do without a CONTINUOUS reporting needs, but is meeting guaranteed, because it's very fast with the other passengers in conversation. As the public address system fails, the communication becomes more intense, because now it's become active and share the information just from mouth to ear.

At the station of Mannheim a wonderful welcome from children of intercultural Waldorf School Mannheim, give us a concert of folk songs. A cheerful bustle on the platform, smiling faces, even a rose for one or another passenger and then it goes on after half an hour.

Ulm. Rainer Rapp man of Fiu-Verlag appears and uses the few minutes spent to crown the travelers. Basic income for all is now probably everyone knows the golden crowns that signal: each his own king.

In the club car is read from letters written by Rudolf Steiner, the crew of Philip Tok is the blog of the website to update Rudolf Steiner 2011th This blog is right up to date and who wants to know where to train his trip to Rudolf Steiner's birth Kraljevic in Croatia in Vienna on Sunday and what ever so everything is done, should to take a look at this blog .

In Munich, we are greeted with cookies and a banner: Greetings from the city with heart. In the evening, a lovingly prepared breakfast with tasty snacks at the Waldorf School in Munich Schwabing, a short interlude offered by two "mystery playwrights' texts and improvisation from the mystery plays.

A very amusing lecture by Karl-Dieter Bodack concludes this eventful first day of our trip that takes us to the places the action of the rail passengers Rudolf Steiner leads. Mr. Bodack was in the 1960s involved in the design and development of rail cars, and described very clearly the problems that have accompanied him in the course of this work for the then Federal Railway. We hear a lot about designing cars and spell how it is possible to motivate employees so that something can be really good comes.
We vinden onder the sea link onder een few toepasselijke Steinercitaten. Zoals dit dat de titel ' cultural sea ' heeft gekregen:
'Man, the age of Medieval characterized only by use of the Gothic cathedrals. So it is with the period between 19 and 20 Century, which you can later draw from the style of the store, and it corresponds to the store all the materialistic idea of utility. But even in our time, it is possible to cast style in other respects. For example, we now the era of railways, but not a style for the stations, because man does not feel what happens when the train arrives and departs, because the man feels that what happens there when the railroad drives, can get to outer expression. Arriving and departing locomotives that go into what must, may, in the hollows of the buildings are expressed. From the spiritual life of the anthroposophical movement must be created such a cultural sea, from which emerge again forms that represent a new style. - 'Citaat
Of Wat vindt u van dit in' Rudolf Steiner feedeth, watch and pray ':
' If we sleep driving in a railway carriage, we are basically all in it in all this Gebremse, pebbles and roar, the zusammenhängt with the wheels and the machinery of the train. In this truly is not just musical experiences of our environment, we put in it, and it only takes gone through the very first steps of initiation to have, then you can remember waking up, as in the physical and Ätherleib zurückkehrende I bring to the astral body or what they experienced in the Gepreßtwerden through the machinery in which they stuck really, and by the they went through in the moments before waking up. - Rudolf Steiner '
Ook mooi is dit verhaal in' gold from the Rhine? '
' Hansjörg Hofrichter told about the Waldorf Astoria and Rudolf Steiner at 13:18 clock:
the middle of the period of the spirit of inventiveness - Daimler, Bosch, Benz - is the first Waldorf school was founded. Rudolf Steiner builds the foundation, the school itself, however, initiated the circle around Emil Molt. At his home there is an open table where students reside at any time. - He has contacts. In the U.S. cigarette factory Waldorf-Astoria, he secured the license name for Germany. Molt itself supplies the King of Württemberg. The company is thriving Waldorf-Astoria. Many people find work. Most have kids. Children want to learn. Molt wants for Steiner. - "Waldorf" is made against other proposals, such as by "school for Goetheanism" as school name. Besides: In small cigarette tins came the doctor's mental Wochensprüche an die Front. Male Reien Durrer whit ihre von Boden. Molt, seine Mitarbeiter und seine Fabrik Baby vor mehr haben, nur as Zigaretten zu verkaufen ... "
is again probably put more on this blog, when one simply re-stream or connection. We continue to follow!


Update 20.45 hours:

Wow, that's not so beautiful, I made this contribution to the Cologne eurythmy flashmob overlooked. Nota Bene by veteran Joseph Canaillo; me how that can happen now - he is also fashioned in great shape. His German is never quite as it should - I think he's a kind of immigrant in Germany is - schrijft hij in 'deutsj', zonder de noodzakelijke hoofdletters bij de zelfstandig naamwoorden, maar zijn stijl is altijd prachtig. Dus here komt van de weblog Terra Canaillo zijn 'We celebrate: Eurythmy flashmob (2)':
'(deutsj) An expectant, happy atmosphere prevails in the early morning train station in the great hall. There they are all waiting for - some way to get there not around, they instantly recognize and see them yet so different, old, young, fat, thin, colorful or black, serious, or cheerfully, yes, here populate Anthro and Waldorf students of the Cologne train station. Some are ready for travel has to Kraljevec, one or the other tried to dress a bit like before 1925 - and an elderly man tells us much that he has managed (so that was not self-evident ground in) that display on the board in the great hall read now with a unique "Rudolf-Steiner-Express, Donji Kraljevec" (now in northern Croatia).

It takes a while, then the troupe sets in motion the train station: the flashmob can finally get started (see previous contribution). The red plastic capes

the way, were given very quickly. Well, there were more of them would be almost the whole place was red, he is mainly with flashmobbern, Steinerzug-travelers, sympathizers and other famous people you meet on such occasions, populated. In that spirit, I would rather speak of a flashmob rehearsal, or a mob inside. The whole thing seemed a bit disorganized and not well thought out in all facets, although the action is on the stairs very well managed, with the cathedral backdrop.

order with a flash mob (which is finally nothing else than a continuation of the good old happenings from the six forties) to achieve greater impact, you need a small group of people who are perfectly coordinated, and the action occurring both iron can perform and, if required, can start improvising, and you need a much larger amount of people who can be surprised herewith (see for example here - interesting hallelluja a flash mob). Now it's one, after all, a lot of joy-spreading, home team. TOWERS

Then, when all back to the train station hall, but watching one or the other traveling watched amazed at the press of the troupe, which moves then closed for track 1. Take place there some actions that I noticed more on the edge (too much at once: the Rudolf-Steiner-train arrives, hundreds of people tümmeln confused themselves, some want to get the same, we talk again with the and, etc.).

the margin by the spontaneous gaiety obviously undermined by the totally surprised and overwhelmed people train security (which has worked but flash mob!). One of the men from totally freaks out and threatens it constantly, with the help of the federal police to ensure order. He is probably still unaware that he works in a mysteries facility.

the train can still go away early and the meeting dissolves slowly. On board a family member from my Terra Canaillo. I'm curious to see what I still get to hear.
