Biodynamics and the Taming of the Materialistic Lion
In his lecture series Human and Cosmic Thought, Rudolf Steiner explained the importance of understandings from twelve different worldviews — from materialism to spiritualism, from idealism to realism — in order to attain a balanced view of the whole. In the introduction to the 1991 English translation, Nick Thomas wrote that: Rudolf Steiner shows that […]

I am sad to say that I have chosen to completely rewrite my early drafts of prehistoric and Ancient Greek history almost in their entirety. They are to be replaced by two new and hopefully more relevant chapters. Their replacements concentrate on the possibly controversial Idea of Plato's Philosopher...
Several years ago a friend shared this wonderful artistic overview of Ernst Marti's etheric research. I wish I knew who drew it - if it is copyright please can someone inform me - I can either remove it or at least attribute it to the person who created it.
