Eurythmy was born in the year 1912. This essay honors the one hundred-year ongoing revelation of the birth of Eurythmy. Here in 2012, where we are in the 21st Century,we are still growing toward the future Etheric Revelation of the Word. It fills and informs our Etheric Bodies and enlivens our Speech forces in every language.We are slowly recovering the Living Powers in each Word and in each Sound. Far, far into the distant future a Maitreya Buddha is on the way, on the path to consciously strengthening her/his Etheric Body to Life Spirit. The Maitreya Buddha will use the Resurrection of the Word and the Life Giving Power of the Breath to recharge and re-awaken the deeper slumbering forces of
1

humanities latent and potent spirituality. Our task is to bring these forces of the Word back to Life so that Language is not entombed by Ahriman. In Eurythmy we see this inner process manifested outwardly. In Eurythmy the entire body becomes a larynx

of the Gods. Eurythmy is the visible manifestation of the art of listening to heart-speak. In Eurythmy we walk the words of the gods that we found in our hearts and direct with our heads into the world. ByAdriana Koulias

Rudolf Steiner (Link to following quote)

In our Embryology Studies .we have also learned how on his way down he first gathers to him the influences of the firmament of the fixed stars, represented in the signs of the Zodiac; then, as he descends further, he takes with him the influence of the moving planets. Now just picture to yourselves the Zodiac, the representation of the fixed stars. Man is exposed to their influence on descending from the life of soul and spirit into earthly life. If their effects are to be designated in accordance with their actual being we must say that they are cosmic music, they are consonants. And the forming of consonants in the physical body is the echo of what resounds from the single formations of the Zodiac,

whereas the formation of vowels within the music of the spheres occurs through the movements of the planets in the cosmos.This is imprinted into the etheric body.

Thus, in our physical body we unconsciously bear a reflection of the cosmic consonants, whereas in our etheric body we bear a reflection of the cosmic vowels.This remains, one might say, in the silence of the subconscious. But as the child develops, forces press upwards within the body and strengthen the speech organs; these are forces that, as reflections of the formative forces of the cosmos, build up the speech organs. The more interior speech organs are so formed out of Mans essential being that they can produce vowels, and the organs nearer to the periphery, the palate, the tongue, the lips and everything that contributes to the form of the physical body, are built up in such a way that consonants can be produced. While the child is learning to speak, something takes place in the upper part of his being, as a result of the activity of his lower part, which is a consequence of the formative forces taken up into the physical body, and also into the etheric body. (This is naturally not a material process but has to do with formative activity.) Thus when we speak, we bring to Manifestation what we might call an echo of the experience Man goes through with the cosmos in the life between death and a new birth during his descent out of the divine spiritual world. All the single letters of the alphabet are actually formed as images of what lives in the cosmos.We can get an approximate idea of the signs of the Zodiac if we relate them to modern speech by setting up B, C, D, F, and so forth, as constellations of the Zodiac. You can follow them by feeling the revolution of the planets in H (ed.: H like in him, her) H is not actually a letter like the others, H imitates the rotational movement, the circling around. And the single planets in their revolutions are always the individual vowels which are placed in various ways in front of the consonants.

If you imagine the vowel A to be placed in here (see diagram)

you have the A in harmony with B and C, but in each vowel there is the H. You can trace it in speaking AH, IH, EH. H is in each vowel. What does it signify that H is in each vowel? It signifies that the vowel is revolving in the cosmos. The vowel is not at rest, it circles around in the cosmos. And the

circling, the moving, is expressed in the H hidden in each of the vowels.

Consider, therefore, a vowel harmony expressed somewhere in speech: let us say I, O, U, A. (ed.: IH, OH, UH, AH in German) What is expressed by this? Something is expressed that is the cosmic working of four planets. Let us add one of the consonants to something like this IOSUA let us add this S in the middle of it, and this would mean that not only the forming of vowels within the planetary spheres is expressed, but also the effect that the planets connected with I, O, U, A,

experience in their movement through the connection with the star sign S. Thus if a Man in the days of ancient civilization uttered the name of a God in vowels, a planetary mystery was expressed. The deed of a divine being within the planetary world was expressed in the name. Were a divine name expressed with a consonant in it, the deed of the divine being concerned reached in thought to the representative of the fixed star firmament the Zodiac.

The Karma of Specific Instances

When we look at the trail of destiny that brought us to The Word, to Eurythmy and the investigations into Speech, and the individual sounds, we each have our specific journeys. On my journey to discover the secrets of the Word, I had no cohesive understanding of the magnitude of insight I would encounter or how it all interconnected. I was headed for Dornach when I was twenty and twenty-one years old. I had my two children and my wife with me but I was unable to enter immediately into Dornach, Switzerland. I had met Anthroposophy in London. Became a member of the society in London, had two children in London and having appealed to Francis Edmunds and Emerson College in England, I was bumped or detoured by Francis Edmunds and an amazing International Group of actors, writers and directors, to go directly to the Goetheanum (Click Link near end of Drama study) instead of attending Emerson College. What did I know?

Francis Edmunds was a character right out of Tolkien.

My wife and I loved him. I think he was an Aries. We wept thinking we couldnt stay with this wonderful human being. A.C. Harwood was my sponsor at Steiner House and signed my pink card. But my very, very, first profound Rosicrucian connection to all of this was the Eurythmist who introduced us to the stars and came to our London flat and discussed things with us, my wife and I, amidst the two babies was the beloved Jeane Lynch. I cannot tell you how astonished I was, a hippie with long hair, and this adventurous Eurythmist would show up on her little Scooter and take us outside and show how by stretching her one arm out, say at a full moon, than the exact math of the sun and the sign the sun was in, was on the opposite side when she stretched her other arm out, so she could directly locate each star and the position of the Zodiac of the Sun, Moon and planets, name them, and showed us some of the Sounds of Eurythmy. My wife and I were struck dumb that people talked, knew, said the deepest mysteries that we had thirsted to hear out of anyones lips. Yet it all had to wait until we got to England from the U.S. Bless your Spirit Jean Lynch, I never saw her again. I was unprepared for this detour that took me away from Emerson College towards a path that led to the Goetheanum. I knew nothing of the German Language. But here is what I now consider most astonishing. I had to wait for housing, student housing and had to bide my time on my journey to Switzerland from England, through Brianon, France ( See Link). I had to stay for six months in a

place called Dormillouse in the French Alps (See Link we bathed in this Waterfall) under very, very primitive but astonishingly pristine conditions. We had no real money or income and coming from England we had to reduce our burdens to backpacks and suitcases.

I had one book that I had fallen in love with and that book is what has allowed me to, although I did not know it, allowed me to build my first foundation to Etheric studies from the foundation of intimate perception. The Etheric studies of the Word that I would encounter through my training in Speech and Drama in Dornach, Switzerland and the Goetheanum became integrated in me, over the long run of my lifetime, from the book I used for six months, and carried with me to Dormillouse (SEE LINK), where I explored every herb, flower, berry, bush, and scrub that grew with pristine elemental glory, high above traffic, cities and life below. The book I carried with me was Nicholas Culpepers

illustrated

Herbal Guide 1616-1654 (see Link).

It was illustrated with color drawings of every flower and herb in Europe, their planetary and zodiacal origins and virtues. I could find nearly all of these plants in the wild and learned to dry them and make tea and other beverages from them. The Earth and nature around me was an open book with the letters and words appearing in the flowers and herbs, the colors, and scents, (how we learn to squeeze Rosemary or Lavender between our fingers and hold it up to our noses, the sweet smell of

10

chamomile smell, sight, taste, touch, identification of knowing activating my etheric senses to the mystery of the Earth) and the stars were clear nearly every night high up in Dormillouse (See Link) . They were medicinal herbs and Culpeper showed the parts of the body and inner organs that they affected, doses, and remedies that could be found teaming with life all around us. It was a script that for some unknown reason I understood. It was a language that I could see printed before me, by the native waterfalls, in sheep dung, on the edge of cliffs. Edible berries, elixirs for headaches and quiet and restful sleep were out in the library living with Etheric innocence and splendor. For some reason this book and the text of nature and all her etheric splendor, long before I got to know the Sounds of the Consonants and Vowels of Speech that also bore the same virtues of the Stars, the same curative forces that are used in Curative Eurythmy, different planetary virtues in the Vowel sounds and different forces of the Zodiac in each Consonant long before I was enriched beyond measure at the Goetheanum, there were the elemental beings, virtues, planet and star forces written in the colorful script of nature herself. Oh this process of learning did not occur over night. Later I would understand how the Angels, the regions, the various countries and their Archangelic Language forces wove into the Etheric tone and coloring of different peoples. I could enter into each accent and gesture of the different Languages over the whole of the Earth and it was part of my most intimate training in drama, it was part of Eurythmy and most importantly it was part of the Etheric wisdom that we are swimming in and that comes up to the surface and flows through our being when we do Eurythmy or practice Speech. (My Seed Thoughts in forming this document SEE LINK) The lowest body of the Angelic Kingdom, one stage above humanity, is the Etheric World. The Angelic Kingdom have as their lowest body, the Etheric Kingdom of nature. The purest expression of the Angelic Kingdom appears before our human gaze as the Flowers, Vegetables, Herbs, orchards, gardens and fields of the Earth.

Rudolf Steiner, (see link)

There could be no such thing as speech were it not for the fact that, during the natural course of his early development, the child has inherent within him the instinct to move his arms and hands. These movements are held back and become concentrated in the organs of speech; and these organs of speech are in themselves an image of that which seeks outlet in movements of the arms and hands, and in the accompanying movements of the other limbs.

11

The etheric body I can, after what you have heard in the morning lectures, (published as The Evolution of Consciousness.) speak to you quite freely about the etheric body the etheric body never uses the mouth as the vehicle of speech, but invariably makes use of the limbsystem. And it is those movements made by the etheric body during speech which are transferred into the physical body. Of course you can, if you choose, speak quite without gesture, even going so far as to stand rigidly still with your hands in your pockets; but in that case your etheric body will gesticulate all the more vigorously, sheerly out of protest! Thus you can see how, in very truth, Eurythmy is drawn out of the human organisation in just as natural a way as speech itself.
The Angelic Kingdom takes the pure watery life and the pure blood or green flowing lymphatic structure of the plants Chlorophyll, and lives as a song, as an Angelic prayer of pure math in the woven beauty of the tapestry we barely understand as nature. This plant blood has the same structural composition as our human blood, save that the Etheric Plant has no I AM and no astral desires. Yet the photosynthesis of light, the digestion of light itself is not only built into the etheric realities of the plant, their leafy hands crave the light, gesture to the light and follow the path of light through the day, but our own Etheric bodies and our Speech forces carry this germinal, Etheric

12

and Word Forming power that exists in the plant world.

Albert Steffens school of Schne Wissenschaften author Isabel Wyatt (1901-1992)

The Moon-Drawn juices mount; the leaves distil The Suns gold heart-beats into chlorophyll. Out of the Plants green blood mans red is wrought, While stars rain down to gild his brow with thought.

Some plants literally fold themselves up at night and go to sleep and wake again when they sense the light that floods through their etheric floral systems. Here we literally behold in nature the same Eurythmy that exists in human speech when the flower petals open in the Ah gesture of Venus and well being of the lymphatic system; Or close in the Uh gesture of inwardness and Saturn as darkness approaches.

13

Albert Steffen Aphorisms

Before you begin to write poetry you should say to yourself that the vowels are the soul experiences of an Angel who feels reverence in AH, marvel in O, fear in UH, and consonants are his gestures.

Languages still require a great amount of work until they become a suitable instrument for the Word. The vowels must be purified, so that perfect feelings may live in them. What can purify them? The Angel beings who dwell upon the planets through which we pass after death the sound and light emanating from these beings. And every consonant must acquire a contour through the fact that we learn to master our physical body.

Speech is all the more pure, perfect, beautiful and young, the more the will emancipates it from the bodily processes and rules over them. The voice itself never grows old; it transmits something that lives beyond old age; it is the means of expression of the eternal ENTELECHY.

It is within our human blood system that our I AM responds not only with vitamin D and outer sunlight through our skin, but an entirely pure and transmuted Sun Light now appears from the raying in of the Risen Etheric Christ light which is the very substance and nourishment of our own I AM and carries Light like the purest plant/Etheric Chlorophyll blood. Exquisite hidden floral ensembles arise, that if we had ears to hear, each flower, plant, blossom, stem and leaf arrangement would sound forth the wisdom of the planetary and zodiacal geometry that surrounds us in nature. Each Consonant and each Vowel and each Eurythmy form reveals an impressive human Etheric body, boldly dynamic flitting, fleeting, butterfly - imprinted with a Zodiacal virtue and color and Planetary Vowel Soul force, yet as quick as Speech and as mobile as the watery/lymphatic fluidity of motion in the breath of the Word or singular sounds we utter for an instant, frozen in tone. And the human lymphatic and etheric system is mobile, mercurial and designed to capture the lawful quickening pulse of the Zodiac, Tone, Consonants and emotionally rich Vowels that sound forth from our souls and the very soul of Words themselves. Each vowel contains the soul of a Word and each Consonant in a word carries the zodiacal message of that word.

The Key to the Phytology and Science of the Word (study link here)
Look at the plant. It grows from the seed, develops leaves and blossom. But the plant is pervaded by a mysterious force which arises in the heart of the blossom as the new seed. What surrounds the seed will fall
14

away; but the innermost force that can be perceived in the heart of the blossom enables you to feel that a new plant will arise from the old. If you ponder on the power and the force of the Suns light, Feeling that in it you are beholding merely the physical expression of a spiritual reality and letting yourselves be inspired by the spiritual power of the Sun, then you will begin to understand the prophetic announcement of the Divine Fruit that is to be born from the Earth!
The Sounds, the vowels themselves, when anyone we know and love utters one of the Vowels our hearts can become wounded, our souls may be lifted to rejoice in elation. An etheric smile radiates out from our faces or a literal frown, a color, a mood overwhelms us and we are brought to tears and troughs of intimate sadness. The Vowels themselves are OUR intimate expressions of the Planets. We are the WORD BEARING creations of the Logos Itself. We carry in our living expression, in our tone, in our waking moods of heart and soul, in our commands and in our kindness and compassion the entire Planetary and Zodiacal Living force that centers itself in our Larynx and ripples with life through out our entire Etheric and Lymphatic system. Our fantastic and colorful array of astral emotions, passions, tenderness, our Etheric Life in the MMMM sound when delicious food calls forth a kind of MMMM MMMOOO that we associate with the cow, but for a moment we hum MMMMs as a direct revelation of our Etheric and Astral bodies immune system. It isnt enough to merely cruise by a word like IMMUNE system. This is exactly what Speech and the Science of the Word, the Word as Hieroglyphs raised to restored Etheric Life means. It means looking with new eyes at the MMs inIMMUNE system and realize just how much the Waters of Life, Aquarius and the sign of the Water Bearer means. Our Immune systems are flooded with Life. In the simple word IMMUNE there is an initial effect of Light then two MMs stir the waters into motion and resolve themselves in a Saturn like UH that goes right down to our feet in Pisces and, Pisces is the N sound.

John Gospel 5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
All the Consonants were once Pictographs, full fledged living Imaginations that were also actual streaming living forces. I for one, hardly think we can live, if we are students of the Word, if we havent digested Cuneiform writing, invented by the ancient Sumerians around 3500 B.C. and Hieroglyphic writing, invented by the ancient Egyptians around 3200 B.C. and trace those

15

Pictographs out to Chinese characters and Japanese Picto signs. We cannot grasp, havent been taught or interested enough to track down Arnold Wadler and immerse ourselves in Chapter Six,

The Origin of Writing in Picture Consciousness. The entire book paves the way for our journey through language, living pictures, etheric imaginations and the elastic forces of the Word used in ancient Atlantis, down through words printed in stone, to dead languages, where the pictures became merely dead letters -LATIN to the magnificent Ascension of Language and the Word through Speech and Eurythmy, that resurrects the magic life that exists in Consonants and Vowels. Pictographs of these living streaming forces were the origins of how Language began. When we study Language, Real Language, we really must refer to Arnold Wadlers amazing text, ONE LANGUAGE SOURCE OF ALL TONGUES (SEE LINK). We are in the AGE of the Fishes, of Pisces at this moment. However when we do enter the AGE of Aquarius, the false and true confrontation with the HumanImmune system and the beneficent Etheric Waters of Life against the Ahrimanic mass manufactured Immune System will reach cultural and tragic crescendos, instead of dancing and singing This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius (See Clip) we might be plunged into the realm of a manufactured and counterfeit, Ahrimanic and Sunless

16

Etheric replacement to our Immune Systems. Dont be fooled, we are still in the age of Pisces the Fishes, but the Sixth Cultural Epoch is approaching and that age will be under the mandate of the Immune system, the Water Bearer. John the Baptist is referred to as an Aquarius Initiation. We have waters or dipping our heads under the waters to be able to momentarily SEE into the Spirit. We also have the Washing of the Feet, of our Pisces forces, our feet, being immersed in new Etheric Waters, with the Washing of the Feet. However this coming Sixth Epoch, the Aquarius cultural epoch, is not under the Consciousness-Soul, which is where we are currently struggling. The Sixth cultural epoch will be, and is preparing even now, for Spirit-Self or Manas. Due to Ahrimanic interference it will likely mean that our Immune systems will have been toxically interfered with and a whole new spirit force will be required to renew our Immune systems. We are witnessing in this our Fifth cultural Epoch, the end of the Pisces Age, the invasive collapse of our Immune system directly due to Ahrimanic interference and intentionality. There is a great deal of understanding about the invasiveness of vaccines, weaponized bio-plagues, but we stand rather foolishly and ignorantly as we blindly vaccinate ourselves seasonally for flu or trustingly submit our children to between 20 to 60 vaccinations before the age of two. I submit a link to one of the first hurdles in language you have to overcome is understanding a New York Brooklyn accent in an absolutely magnificent Doctor, who has taken a stand to inform us of the toxicity and attacks from Ahriman that have invasively overwhelmed society. (CLICK LINK) The LINK reveals, aside from the Brooklyn visible study of a literal etheric regional accent, the litany of attacks that Ahriman is making to control the Aquarian Mystery of our heavenly IMMUNEsystem. What the Doctor discusses are global attacks against the Etheric Body, just as Eurythmy awakens and stimulates our Etheric bodies. These attacks are part of the Fifth Epoch Age of Pisces by Ahriman against the very rising of the Fifth Age of Pisces that brings the awakening of the Etheric forces through Eurythmy and the Science of the Word and the great Agricultural Course by Rudolf Steiner. So the Science of the Word sees visibly, a strong I or sublimated i standing in the hieroglyphic impression of the English word, immune system. Through this very Aquarian single word we can rise into the Time Sphere of the Zodiac, fast forward into the future, and see, literally through the Word what lies ahead. In Mary, in Mother, in Mammary glands as the organs that, in the femalemammal, produce milk for the sustenance of the young, we find ourselves loaded with the Speech Science of the MMM, three

17

Ms.

Which means that the flowing Life Forces from the cosmos, out

of Aquarius and the Elemental Hieroglyph of the Eurythmy figure M and the Cosmic force of the Stirring of the Waters, from the Cosmic Aquarius gesture used in Eurythmy acts as a restoring force in our human Etheric bodies. How each Eurythmy figure was captured and tamed and brought from the wilds of Language and Speech into a Freeze Frame study, of what normally was never beheld, is a tale that goes all the way back to Origins of Language. Specifically the heavy finger of destiny pointed all the way back to the ancient Egyptian Mysteries. There in the depths of the Egyptian Mysteries, certain powerful WORDS were uttered by Hierophants and Initiates. Those WORDS had Elemental forces in them. Those Words were just a series of Consonants and Vowels, but with Living Elemental Beings, Spirit Beings that Lived in the trained breath-stream of Hierophants.

A Person of Interest The Souls Awakening (see Link)

Inside the temple. The hall of initiation. The ceremony is performed on a broad flight of steps descending from the back to the front of the stage. The characters stand in groups below one another and on different steps. The drop-curtain goes up, disclosing everything in readiness for the initiation of the Neophyte, who is to be thought of as an earlier in-carnation of Maria; behind the altar and to the left of it stands the Chief Hierophant who is to be thought of as an earlier incarnation of Benedictus;

18

on the other side the Recorder, an earlier incarnation of Hilary True-to-God; a little in front of the altar the Keeper of the Seals, an earlier incarnation of Theodora; in front, on the right side of the altar, the Impersonator of the Earth Element, an earlier in-carnation of Romanus, and with him the Impersonator of the Air Element, an earlier incarnation of Magnus Bellicosus; quite close to the Chief Hierophant, stands the Hierophant, an earlier incarnation of Capesius; on the left side of the altar the Impersonator of the Fire Element, an earlier incarnation of Doctor Strader, with the Impersonator of the Water Element, an earlier incarnation of Torquatus. In front of them Philia, Astrid, Luna and the Other Philia. Four other priests stand in front of them. In front of all Lucifer to the left of altar and Ahriman to the right in the guise of sphinxes, with the cherubim emphasized in the case of Lucifer and the bull in the case of Ahriman. Dead silence for a while after the interior of the temple with its grouped mystics has become visible. The Keeper of the Temple, an earlier incarnation of Felix Balde, and the Mystic, an earlier incarnation of Dame Betide, lead the Neophyte in through a doorway on the right of stage. They place him in the inner circle near the altar, and remain standing near him.

19

The Chief Hierophant: The sphinxes speak who were but images Since eer this rite by sages was performed. Upon dead form the spirit now hath seized. O Fate, thou dost sound forth as cosmic word!
Hierophant: I do not judge the man, I judge the deed That will be wrought here in this holy place. This holy mystic rite, which we perform Hath not importance for ourselves alone. Fates stream of cosmic evolution pours Through word and deed of sacred priestly rites. What happens here in pictures comes to pass In everlasting life in spirit-worlds. .The guides and leaders are themselves to blame. Have they not learned to know the mystic force Which penetrates in some mysterious way With spirit, every word and sign of ours; And ceases not from action even when The contents of a soul are poured therein Which hinders cosmic evolutions course? Initiation brought Candidates or Neophytes, prior to the Raising of Lazarus, to special schools and special trainings that brought the ripest candidates into a higher schooling and The Temple Sleep (see link). We follow this Temple Sleep and the Veil of Isis all the way to the powerful reality behind the Son of the Widow in the New Testament. We are allowed to follow a failed stream of Egyptian Isis Initiation that included THE YOUTH OF NAIN, whom Christ personally recovered. The Youth of Nain remained through his many incarnations as the Son of the Widow, based on the failed and hazardous Initiation event experienced in a previous life through an Egyptian Isis Initiation Event. To release the imprisoned elemental powers, to capture the flitting and fleeting elemental beings and hold them and observe them so that the forces of Consonants and Vowels, each Individual Elemental and en-souled force could be studied was a task greater than all of Shakespeares entire works. Shakespeare was able to identify and free Ariel, which we shall discuss later on. Shakespeare was able to free up one Elemental Sylph Spirit that had accompanied him through many

20

incarnations. As Shakespeare evolved he was able to emancipate from his lower bodies, his astral body, the magnificent forces that each one of us has embedded in us. What Fire Air Water Earth elemental beings are embedded in us? Lets clear up this issue so that we may grasp the magnitude of diagnosing and taming each slippery, shape shifting Consonant and Vowel and learning its pedigree and where its origin, originated from, aside from our lightening thoughts and our Speech system and our Etheric bodies. The order of magnitude of defining each sound, each dead letter, revealed in their pristine unfallen garments, their gestures and personalities stands above the magnificence, swirling through all of Shakespeares works. In order for Buddha to free his Angel, to become a Buddha literally, literally entails freeing our Angel from his/her responsibilities. The Angel is then allowed to graduate to a higher level. Before Buddha could free his Angel he had to transform all his elemental forces that held him into incarnation. Buddha had to liberate, and emancipate the entire colony of elemental beings that had served with Buddha as our Angel serves with us, until we unlock the cohesion and mysteries of our souls and Spirits and unlock Matter as the magnificent cohesion of Love and Light. In The Tempest we witness, in all humility, the final play that through Shakespeares magnificent Symphonies of the Word, by way of the magical language forces Shakespeare used, he was able to demonstrate the freeing up of a mercurial Air Spirit, a Sylph that had served him as our mercurial Air Spirits serve our own intuitions.

Marie Steiner
I once saw in Germany a large-scale production of ShakespearesTempest. But of the elemental world and its spiritual nature, there was nothing to be perceived. There was certainly a lot of noise, temperamental outbursts and screaming. The Caliban scenes were exorbitantly overdone, and protracted in the realist manner far beyond anything Shakespeare apportioned them. And Ariel? There was nothing in him of aerial lightness and strength: a heavy, booming voice, hard as bone; the figure thick-set. There was much bouncing up and down and shrieking. But the bouncing did nothing to dispel the heaviness of that little, earth-bound, dumpy figure with its anti-halo of tousled, disheveled hair. An Ariel! Is not the word itself pure lightness and radiance a soaring, sounding, hovering delight in the air?

In all humility and in all objectivity of Initiation Science and Humanity, Spiritual Science has restored the entire body of language, and an entire Speech Treasure Box filled with animated mercurial Word Spirits. Eurythmy and the Science of the Word is a transcendent Portal of Initiation that lights our pathway, through the Word living in our Etheric bodies, back to the Gods.

21

We are now in the Age of the Fishes, in Pisces.

The Egyptian Age was the Third Age and our Fifth Age, the age of the Fish has much to do with the Third Age, the Egyptian Age. Our age has everything to do with the resurrection of the Word Spirits. In Egypt the Tone and Mantric Words that called back the Astral Body of someone who lay in a TEMPLE SLEEP is the precise redemption of the Word that connects the Third cultural Epoch of Egypt to the deed of the recovery of each Sound and restoring each Sound to its rightful place, which is part of the karma of our Fifth cultural Epoch. In ancient Egypt this Tone and Word power was part of the potent forces of Pictographic Language studies that we see written in hieroglyphs of stone in ancient Egypt and the magnificent research of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz (Click Link). True research and resurrection of the Word Beings is a hard job, but somebody had to take up the burden. The Burden fell on the Karmic Intuition, and knowledge of one of the Chief Hierophants of ancient Egypt. This ancient Hierophant, was not commanded to do this or that, but the shadow of the great wings of the Archae Michael and the Etheric Christ tipped towards the deep karma of Rudolf Steiner. This time the Free Deed of Rudolf Steiner was prepared to see what the Divine Beings required and do a Free Deed which otherwise, as Freedom reveals to all of us, we look back on a debris field of SINS OF OMISSION.

22

We step into revelations of the most intimate karma and the most intimate free deeds that could only be intuited in the depths of the soul, that knew where it stood and when it stood there and who were the other players that stood there beside him. But for the sake of external spiritual riddles, The Souls Awakeningand the Egyptian Scene Steiner wrote, can only be grasped externally by such research that R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz attempted (see link). However, when penetrating to a deeper level of Initiation Science and the revelation of the Human Word, we are required to actually penetrate the Karma of Humanity and see how our Best Human forces turned Sins of Omission from the past into Revelations for the future, drawing from deep well springs of Life Giving Spiritual Truths. The Seven Post-Atlantean epochs 1. Indian/Hindu (7227-5067 BC) - 7. American 2. Persian (5067-2907 BC) 6. Russian/Slavonic 3. Egyptian (2907-747 BC) 5. Anglo-Germanic (1413-3573 AD)

23

4. Graeco-Roman (747 B.C.-1413 AD) Those Words and Tones that once called back the Individual Soul and Spirit from their out of body experiences, that lasted for Three Days, were once uttered with fully conscious magical Word Powers. There, back then, Elemental Beings embodied in the Power of the Word went forth into the astral worlds, the Devachan worlds, and retrieved the Travelers, the Neophytes for Initiation, and through the power of Speech and the Word, the Science of the Word, these candidates were led, escorted, back to their bodies. It was called a Temple Sleep. This is exactly what Prospero, of The Tempest, commanded Ariel, to do. Ariel was sent through the Devachan and astral worlds to retrieve, dead men which was nearly the condition of those in the old Temple Sleep. Ariel was charged with creating the conditions for catharsis and Initiation and bringing those participants and candidates for initiation back to their senses. This was part of the precise hidden Mysteries of every ancient culture that Christ reversed, He turned the hidden Word of the Mysteries inside out. Christ performed The Temple Sleep, openly using the Word to Call Lazarus back to life, in public, before all of humanity. For Speech it meant that Words were Intoned with fully conscious Power and Words were Spoken externally with condensed Spiritual Strength and The Time Was At Hand. Well my friends, there is World Karma in the Sounds of Speech. So a panorama of the karma of one Chief Hierophant who arrived in the latter part of the 19th century and gets fully drenched in the storm of the Revelation of Michael bursting forth in thunderous lightening claps in 1879, opens the flood gates of magnificent New Insights into the Spiritual World. What will this Chief Hierophant discover about his incarnation gifts and his karmic path? ThisPerson of Interest, this Chief Hierophant is brought before Goethean Science, plant and etheric metamorphosis. What ancient torch buried in our intuition and cognition will illuminate some of the riddles of this Chief Hierophant? The torch we are discussing must illuminate the potential of the new powers of the Etheric World. If we use the analogy of the the Olympic Torch carried as the Spirit of Michael in investigating and laying the ground work for the Science of the Spirit of Humanity, then Goethe, his scientific work, his cutting edge revelation of Mephistopheles/Ahriman in our human psyche, lit a path from Greece to

24

Germany.

Someone had to see the

torch that was carried and left burning. Hadnt that same torch burned to the ground the Temple of Ephesus? Someone had to identify the torch, the light, or The Man with the Lamp, that had lit a trail from the ancient mysteries to the 20th century. Someone had to lift, raise and bring to the surface the Underground Temple that consolidated all the Mysteries of Humanity into a Christic-Michael Revelation. In choosing to be a Scientist, in being drawn towards Goethe and finding the entire world of The Agricultural Course, Etheric Sciences, Plant Metamorphosis, Speech, and Eurythmy arising from the human etheric body to fulfill a shattering Karmic Event that goes all the way back to Egypt, well that puts a lot on someones plate. What are the manifold and intimate reasons that the Resurrection of the Word and the awakening to Etheric Perception, the intimate forces hidden in each Consonant and in each Vowel, fell to Rudolf Steiner, is a riddle few Eurythmist concern themselves with. Yet the Angelic forces written in the script of the plant world and Eurythmy as an answer to the awakening of humanity to the Etheric Word, points directly through Goethe, through ancient Greece, through Plato and Aristotle, from Ephesus to the 1st Goetheanum. I look at the New Elemental forces of the Phytology and Botany of the Word, of the New Nature Forces arising from Eurythmy and Speech as an answer to the riddle of a shattering world karmic question. Millions, literally millions have been shocked by the Raising of Lazarus, but not nearly as shocked as one who felt the full impact of Saturn Karma shattering any illusions that Saul who became Paul felt or the riddles that Rudolf Steiner unraveled for the Fifth Cultural Epoch felt, in relation to all the pent up and locked up forces that sprang at him like a lion when he recognized his Egyptian karma. The talent to see with the I AM and bring public Ini tiation out of the closet into the glaring reality of the 20th and 21st century, from the ancient depths that had reverberated in the riddles hidden

25

from public view in Egyptian Initiation, gives just a hint to us of the emotional grandeur, tragedy and complexity involved with the Destiny of Human Speech and the Resurrection of the Word through Eurythmy.

The seven post-Atlantean Cultural Ages: Indian Age Crab, Cancer 7227 5067 BC Persian Age Twins, Gemini 5067 2907 BC Egypto-Chaldean-Babylonian Age Bull, Taurus 2907 747 BC Greco-Latin Age Ram, Aries 747 BC 1413 AD Anglo-Saxon and Germanic Age Fish, Pisces 1413 3573 AD Russian, Slavic Age Water, Aquarius 3573 5733 AD American Age Sea-Goat, Capricorn 5733 7893 AD

Education and Public Initiation and giving humanity the forces that strengthen and set into motion the new Etheric nature forces in Agriculture, in Speech, in each Consonant and Vowel and setting the laws of humanity that were lost, towards the good again, with the Science of Reincarnation and Karma, restoring the Greek and Human model of Truth Beauty Goodness through Art Science Religion, required a Human Being to go out beyond the shattering reefs and debris fields of the SINS OF OMISSION that are part of the Saturn Beings. Part of the debris field that surrounds any individual who attempts, unconsciously, to scale the Walls where Saturn stands ominously reflecting the consequences of each of us, well, put it this way, most

27

of us cannot even glimpse the magnitude of the I AM once it passes through the karmic necessities

28

29
of Saturn.

Most people have no idea that we are not Science Fiction Space Voyagers in the stars, we are literally building the stages to become conscious participants in the work of the Heavens. In our real journey out beyondSaturn we will have a moment later in PART TWO A of the Vowels (Click Link), to consider the Mystery of Saturn and the real Saturn Beings. The Vowel sound UH carries weight, centricity, gravity, consolidation and the forces that contract the Spirit to a narrow point where the I AM slowly begins to glow under extreme compression. What Elemental Being and force has the task to contract the entire splendor of a plant, into the tiny fire chamber of the seed? Pure Goethean Science, pure Botany, Pure Eurythmy where we are introduced to a new nature being, hidden in Speech, who serves the deepest mysteries ofSaturn, holds that sacred position in the realm of Speech and the Vowels. We can see what the seed kernel of the I AM becomes and what Christ could observe shimmering in Lazarus in the darkness of the TOMB. A word like TOMB or GLOOM truly reveals a certain elemental nature force in the new Botany and Phytology of the Science of the Word. This mighty Saturn Force rolled away the stone that covered the TOMB and our Earth is still reverberating from the Cosmic Seed Force, still gathering strength and fortitude through the upwelling power of Eurythmy, that was released from the TOMB on Easter morning.
The young German poet Novalis became a seer we might almost say miraculously by the grace of divine-spiritual Powers. Through a deeply shattering event which made him aware, as if by a stroke of magic, of the connection between life and death, his eyes of spirit were opened and as well as a great vista of past ages of the Earth and Cosmos, the Christ Being Himself appeared before him. He was able to say of himself that he was one who with the eyes of spirit has actually seen what is revealed when the stone is lifted (CLICK LINK) and the Being who has furnished earthly existence with the proof that life in the spirit will forever overcome death, becomes visible.

And what of those in Ahrimans Army of Monsanto who lock the Seed Force and never let them out, control and regulate and catastrophically manipulate the regenerative seed force, or force humanity to pay a price to Ahriman to let any seed forces at all out of the Tomb? What if we grasped vividly that Ahrimanic Monsanto have been setting traps by tampering with the seed forces of the Etheric Life of Humanity, the Bees, and our Etheric Sun Evolution forces that are alive in the Risen Etheric Christ Being? What if we knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Ahriman wished to prevent all of humanity and our children from ever developing our higher Etheric potentials? That in fact a Counterfeit Etheric Body, manufactured by Ahrimanic Science is already in the works designed to

30

prevent any higher forces of Speech, Eurythmy OR the New Nature forces of the Living Etheric Christ from becoming activated and alive within us and our children. What then? So if we now measure three events we see the problem of the Word and the changes of the Power of the Word and the requirement to lift the Human Word back into the Elemental Powers of the Constellations and the Planets, because that was their origins and that is whom they served. Nobody has ever known, save those in the depths of the Mysteries and THE CHRIST BEING, through His Human Speech, that each Consonant and Vowel were living elemental beings who were nesting as part of the great future mystery hidden in our human Larynx. These three events, the Raising of Lazarus through the Word; The resolution of the Egyptian Mysteries through the Youth of Nain, that had defiled the Word forces and caused immense casualties, because there were human spirits who had Lifted the Veil of Isis with out proper preparations, caused immense shattering consequences. And finally the third factor which has caused Eurythmy to arise and the capturing of each Consonant and Vowel and bringing each Elemental Sound back to their origins and Lift humanity through the Power of the Word, was the fact that Christ Himself spoke and imbued with life the fallen Language of all the Consonants and Vowels. In the Living Breath of the Christ Being the stream of Speech as New Nature Forces lit up, were awakened back to life, returned as beneficent servants of the stars. They were Restored and brought back to Life because a God breathed Eternal Life back into the Living Forces of the wild

31

menagerie of Word Beings.

The resurrection of The Bread of Life, by restoring the Word is, once again, so astonishing when we consider The Fifth Cultural Epoch we are in, and the Hierophant Christ Being, using the Twelve Constellations to re-educate humanity, and send a signal out to all those who have ears to hear, that THE FEEDING OF THE FIVE THOUSAND, with renewable Sound and renewable edible Etheric Life Forces, were a direct Signal given out by the Christ Being in the ritual of breaking the bread and gathering and re-distribution of the crumbs. This essay is part of the crumbs, each Eurythmy performance are part of fragments of the mystery of FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND. Each Speech student of the living Word, each Eurythmy student is fulfilling an inner calling that went out to the Fifth Cultural Epoch, to regain the nourishment of the Word into their very Beings.

Matthew 4:4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

32

Since each Consonant and Vowel have now been Captured and Restored through the intimate and delicate research work of a person of interest who had a great deal to do with the ancient karma of Egypt were back on task with one of the most hidden secrets of our Fifth cultural epoch that connects to the depth of Egypt and our Third cultural epoch (See Link). The Science of the Word, the Dawning of a whole new stream of Nature Forces produced through Speech and Eurythmy are required to lift Creation and Humanity upwards through the changed soul-scape of the Etheric worlds. The Age of Pisces and the Human Word
The brightest star in Pisces Austrinus is Fomalhaut, associated in ancient Persia with Ahriman. The open mouth may indicate an ahrimanized or materialistic form of speech, for speech descended, became dispersed into many languages, and began to be used personally and profanely during the third cultural age (Tower of Babel). According to Rudolf Steiner, speech is to be redeemed and will again be sacred in the future, thus Pisces Austrinus continues to receive sweet water from the jug of Aquarius, sign of the Sixth Age.

Those Beings of the Word that had once served in bringing the Soul and Spirit back into their bodies, now have the task of slowly and carefully coming into the service of refashioning the Etheric Body of Humanity, that we may join and participate in the New Cosmic Nature forces living in the revelation of the Etheric Worlds where Christ now dwells. Math, Science, Music, Pythagoras, the Music of the Spheres, the Tonal living elemental and cosmic force in each letter and each word, are no longer Dead Language. To plunge deeper into the problem we are addressing, it would be important to look into the so called Battle of the Minstrels (Study carefully this Link). This obscure and Real event, where Star Beings of the Word were attempted to be re-enslaved, that the elemental beings we have been discussing were brought deeply back into enslavement is not trifling. We should take what is being offered with far more seriousness, for Starry Language Beings are being sought by Ahriman for enslavement into a counterfeit Ahrimanic and counterfeit materialistic language divorced from their Starry Origins. What follows has everything, literally everything to do with overcoming the decadent effects of the misuse of ancient Word Forces by former Initiates. Part of the the problem of Sngerkrieg auf Wartburg and the Battle of the Minstrels (see link) is that it put the Word on Notice. Human Speech and the starry forces of the Word could be enchanted down into the service of materialism. Eurythmy and Speech here described out of Spiritual Science, overcomes the enslavement of Language that Ahriman is seeking and was researched with intensity

33

and spiritual strength by George Orwell in his 1984. All these things are intimately connected. We are required to understand that the very redemption of the Starry Word Beings we are discussing, are being threatened with imprisonment within materialistic language constructs that Ahriman and humanity are already locked into. (Blog Roll link Title to my essay is SPEECH AND STAR FORCES IN THE HUMAN WORD to Google it, the Title is STAR MYSTERIES AND THE WORD by Bradford Riley).

Rudolf Steiner The Course of My Life, Chapter XXXIV

The evolution of the CONSCIOUSNESS SOUL exposes the Word to danger from two directions. On the one hand it is made the vehicle of social understanding, and on the other it serves to communicate logical, intellectual knowledge. In both spheres the Word loses all value of its own. It has to be adapted to the sense of what it expresses. That the tone, the sound and the formation of the sound possess a reality of their own has to be forgotten. The beauty and luminous quality of the vowels, the unique character of the various consonants, are lost in speech. The vowel is drained of soul, the consonant of spirit. Speech deserts utterly the sphere of its origin the spiritual sphere. It becomes the slave of intellectual knowledge and of a social life that shuns the spirit. It is divorced entirely from the domain of art.

True spiritual perception is also instinctively an experience of the Word. Through it one learns to enter into the soul-quality that resonates in the vowel, and the spiritual power of depiction that resides in the consonant. One gradually begins to comprehend the mystery of speech and its evolution: how divinespiritual beings could once speak to mans soul through the Word, whereas now it is merely a means of communicating in the physical world.

To lead the word back to its own sphere requires the enthusiasm kindled by such a spiri tual insight. Marie von Sivers had this enthusiasm. Through her personality there entered the Anthroposophical Movement the possibility of cultivating the art of speech and speech-formation. Thus to the activity of imparting spiritual knowledge was added cultivation of the art of recitation and declamation, and this played an ever-increasing part in the events that were organized within the Anthroposophical Movement.

That Power in the M comes from the Water Bearer, the zodiacal sound offered from the constellation of Aquarius.

34

It is so powerful, so stirring and has such an effect on the Etheric body that it was used as the vibratory end of the tone AUM or as the Speech and Drama Course by Rudolf Steiner revealed once and for all to humanity, it wasnt just OM (I apologize in advance for this Link, I just thought you needed a break in your concentration), it wasnt just two letters, it was Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end and the actual tonal structure used, that is still valid today is AH O U M. The MMM sound stirs our salivary etheric forces to life in smells and tastes with instinctual elemental force, even babies come forth knowing how to awaken and stimulate their Etheric Life forces by intoning MMMMM like a sweet and healthy symphony that the child still experiences resounding through the universe as health, Etheric Life and well being.

35

Through the Phytology and Botany studies of the Human Word we learn how we explore each gesture of our tongues and what our tongues can do, what our lips do, in how we meet our Karma through a Kiss. Through a KISS, how the lower and upper lips appear on each human being is an amazing study of thin or voluptuousness of lips that reveal completely different forces, readable and definable forces that appear in the Lips and help define the Soul and Spirit of the face that wears those lips. Here we come to something so extremely astonishing, that in the structure and forces of our Lips, our blood, our compassion, our sympathy and most importantly our Hearts rise in the Lyric sounds and the Lip placement Consonants serve the soothing delicacy of our Living I AM. The I AM lives in our blood and we meet the world with Love in the Consonants that serve Lyric Poetry and live close to our heart forces. Lyric Poets and Lyric Poetry of such an astonishing variety works back directly into the region of our hearts and infuses the I AM with cognitive Love for the world and the Beings who are nearest and dearest to us. By practicing Lyric Poetry with a warmth close to the breath-stream and softened with the dignity of the human soul we create a direct pathway for the development of The Fifth Chamber of the Human Heart (See Link). In the Ms and in the mood of Lyric Poets and Poetry, John Keats epitomizes the epitome of Lyric Poetry in this example that is all in the warmth of the intimate breath stream merging with the heart and Lip Placement concentration and focus. It has the making of a truly esoteric exercise and study in the Lyric forces of the I AM where the blood forces of the I and the breath-stream hover near the upper and lower lips and shimmer in the warmed movements of the intimacy of the heart. Most of the sounds of the poem lean towards the lips, caressing and holding tone, consonant and vowel into a forward placement of the Lips. A very potent example of Lyric Poetry by a most astonishing Lyric Poet.

Ode to a Nightingale
By John Keats My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thine happiness, That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees

36

In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Coold a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provenal song, and sunburnt mirth! O for a beaker full of the warm South, Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, And purple-stained mouth; That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee fade away into the forest dim: Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; Where but to think is to be full of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs, Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. Away! away! for I will fly to thee, Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, But on the viewless wings of Poesy, Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: Already with thee! tender is the night, And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, Clusterd around by all her starry Fays; But here there is no light, Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; Fast fading violets coverd up in leaves; And mid-Mays eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves. Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Calld him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath;

37

Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain To thy high requiem become a sod. Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days by emperor and clown: Perhaps the self-same song that found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn; The same that oft-times hath Charmd magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. Forlorn! the very word is like a bell To toll me back from thee to my sole self! Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well As she is famd to do, deceiving elf. Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:Do I wake or sleep? Let Lips do what Hands do touch caress, entwine with each other is again a Living Shakespeare Expression but it is also an integral part of the Science of the Word. We literally meet our Karma at our Lips through the starting points where a Mother Kisses her baby. A Mother resolves the pain and kisses the boo-boo and makes it better. All gone! The Etheric bridge from the Mother to the Child and through the Language of the Mother Tongue magically envelopes the new born soul, now clothed in her earthly garment. Lovers leap to lavish or ravish each other, smother each other in kisses that explode with Life Forces of our Tongues that produce the very Sounds to say the names

38

of our lovers. Their names become for us Life Forces, sometimes they become immortal, Juliet, Romeo, Beatrice and with a touch of Aphrodite and the fallen Venus mysteries we marvel in amazement at MM,Marilyn Monroe. This was not even her original name, but what Lyric inspiration to Aphrodite and the power of Venus draws us upwards to our Lips and becomes a cultural epitome in a name? M & M melts in your mouth not in your hand (see link). It was so powerful, the force of these two MMs of Marilyn Monroe that she found her way to Rudolf Steiner and read the Philosophy of Freedom. This is not a Joke.
The following quote is taken from a biography of Marilyn Monroe called Norma Jean: the Life of Marilyn Monroe by Fred Lawrence Guiles, published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York in 1969. The quote appears on pages 331-332 of the 333 page book.

39

Some years before her death (in Dec. 64), Dame Edith (Sitwell) had spent a winter in Hollywood. A meeting between the poetess and Marilyn was arranged by a monthly magazine. It was thought their opposite personalities would throw off some journalistic sparks. No one could have foreseen that they would become immediate friends, nor could anyone have known that their deaths would be marked in an almost identical waywhile their legends were growing in their lifetimes, they had been taken seriously by too few, too late.

By the time she met Dame Edith, Marilyn had come a long way. If she had not been movi ng in an atmosphere much of it self-created so removed from her beginning, they might have had nothing in common. But when the introductions were over, these new and unlikely friends were left alone and began talking of Rudolph Steiner, whose personal history, The Course of My Life, Marilyn was reading at the time. Dame Edith was to remark later on Marilyns extreme intelligence

While living in Spring Valley in 1980, I had the good fortune of meeting the person who had sent Marilyn that copy of Steinersautobiography as well as a number of other Steiner books and lecture cycles that Marilyn requested over a ten year period from the Anthroposophical Library, then located at 211 Madison Avenue in New York City. I speak of the late Agnes Macbeth, wife of the late Norman Macbeth (author of Darwin Retried. Agnes worked for the library during the 1950s, handling book requests and she vividly remembers the letters Marilyn posted asking for various lecture cycles. And although Marilyn had a reputation for tardiness and irresponsibility on her movie sets, Agnes assured me that Marilyn was very conscientious and punctual with her returns of the books.

Marilyn Monroe was introduced to Steiner by her favorite drama teacher, Michael Chekhov (1890 -1955), nephew of the playwright Anton, and fellow director with Stanislavsky in the Moscow Art Theater early this century. Marilyn was introduced to Chekhov in 1951 by one of his devoted students, the American character actor Jack Palance. Marilyn opened herself like a sponge to water to Chekhovs approach to theater which was so deeply influenced by Steiner that Chekhov left Stanislovskis method behind. And Marilyn opened herself very deeply to anthroposophy, not because she felt it would please her teacher, but Chekhov felt that it was one of the only times in her life that Marilyn did something out of her own free inner being. The tragedy of Marilyn Monroe is that she opened herself up too much and became a slave, not only of the studio bosses, but also the expectations of a world that focused on her as such a fantasy object. Yet deep inside her inner being, which no one in the media and our popular culture even believed she possessed, she spent the last 10 or 11 years of her tortured life cultivating the delicate plant of anthroposophy.

Our Vowels and Consonants allow us to be the most Expressive Word Bearers that carry the law, in any language we study, of the entire Zodiac in our Consonants and all the rainbow colors of emotion of the planets in our Vowels. Every Language and every Etheric and Ethnic human being who speaks language, must use Vowels and Consonants. In agony, ecstasy or silence we feel and know the word and the elemental power of emotion that runs through us. In every instance what comes through us, through our Larynx, from our hearts are either raw Planetary Vowel Emotions or Living powers of the Zodiac that dance swiftly on the tips of our tongues in all the different Consonants. This is how we enter into the study of Etheric and Astral Phytology, where each word, each letter, each sound, that runs in rivers from our lips, that we love, or our gestures, that are sometimes a whole language in themselves are all miniature cosmic forces we were never taught to behold. We come to know each WORD we utter and our fluid mimicry that runs etherically through our gestures as specific instances of the Botany and Phytology of the Word. The Logos Law is new to some of you, but it is the major discovery that has been resurrected in the Word, in the fact that Consonants and Vowels were uttered by the Christ Being through Language and Sounds, means that those Sounds and those Words became immortal elemental forces of the New Nature that are arising from Eurythmy and resurrected to consciousness through the Science of Sound, Speech and the Word. The Macrocosmic Logos that Spoke all things, that made Adam name and give etheric, astral identity to Life, that Macrocosmic Logos incarnated and used the Word and the laws of the Word, the humble human word, and breathed immortality into each Sound, each Consonant and each Vowel. Through our Speech we partake, in miniature, microcosmic miracle, the same forces that Christ used in the Zodiac and Planets. We are the Living Logos of nature and from our Larynx, from our souls and from our spirits we produce, refined, into magic, the New Nature arising from the Living Word and Eurythmy. In our Consonants we see the individual expressions and characters of the Zodiac and in our Vowels, the Vowels in each word, are the Soul of the Word, the soul of the moment and instant of our meaning and expression. The Consonants are the clothing, the zodiacal garments that our Souls wish to express themselves with. So that we enter into a Science of the Phytology of the Word and gradually come to know each Vowel and each Consonant and how a New Nature is being slowly resurrected from Eurythmy and the Science of the Word.

41

Just as the plants are fettered music and math filled with starry virtues, nutritional and etheric Sun Logos laws so is Eurythmy filled with the Sun Laws of the Cosmic and Human Word as it ripples through our human etheric bodies. Eurythmy sends a message back to the Angels that humanity has heard their prayers and understood the wisdom spread out in nature. Our human skeletal systems manifest the frozen music of the zodiac, human beings are the Word Made Flesh. Eurythmy releases the frozen zodiac

and planetary forces of nature and defines an entire new Elemental Human Kingdom of Language and the Word, a host of Consonants and Vowels in each and every Eurythmy form, has been snatched lovingly out of

42

the ethers and richly restored as the Living Hieroglyphics that once lay frozen in the stone picture walls of ancient Egypt and Sumeria. Rudolf Steiner

Behold the plant It is the butterfly Fettered to the earth. Behold the butterfly It is the plant Set free by the cosmos.
Dr. Karl Konig

Behold the spoken word It is speech Fettered to the breath; Behold heard language It is the word Set free from the head.
Clumping gnomes in the roots are Bass notes, Nymphs and undines serve the Etheric and Angel Kingdoms songs, by sending the fluids in obedience with lovely Tenor like weaving, and winding, through leaf and stem. To achieve blossom and seed the general design of the plant scales tighter, higher into Alto, as a rising Ascension written in the etheric script of nature peaks, time becomes space and the blossom would literally take flight into the Soprano.

43

It is in the blossom where the very notes of the music call forth the sublime butterfly and winged laborer, the bee, to meet the Soprano and Alto spiral rise to the spirit. This rising Sun Tone of exquisite music lifts the Queen upwards and upwards, and upwards where the mating with the weighty and bumbling drone male takes place high in the sunlit air. The Queen follows the Sun Tone of the highest plant symphonies high up into a stream of etheric light and tone where she mates with her consort in the Etheric Rich light, and tone unheard by human ears. Humming birds and dragon flys shimmer in supersensible astral desires seeking nectar, while Eurythmy and the veritable Word finds itself in flitting Tone, in garments of tone, as Holy Spirit butterflies soaring on the lymphatic/etheric foundation that our human physical bodies offer to us.

44

The laws of gravity are overcome, weight has been transsubstantiated to spirit. The Angel Kingdom rejoices in their flora strewn prayers uplifted in holy psalms to heaven and the human STAR FORM. And of special concern, the Angel Kingdom calls forth from the stars themselves Homeopathic virtues distilled from each star. Spices, healing herbs, tastes to titillate and call forth our astral senses, and awaken our etheric nutritional juices to the manna from the starry world that is woven into the unique design of each flowering herb, fruit, blossom, root, seed, stem and leaf. Each plant carries a Virtue and an Individuality and a familiar Elemental Spirit.

Literal Star virtues, healing herbs are dressed in mathematical finery, clothed with dappled colors that peek from every nook and cranny. Frozen, visible, sound, tone, Star Words that are loaded with secrets to heal our astral bodies illnesses and our etheric bodies dis-harmonies.

Luke 12:27 Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Nicholas Culpeper was born in 1616 in Surrey, England into an old noble family. His father died shortly before his birth; and so, his grandfather was the main formative influence in his upbringing. He did his university studies at Cambridge, where he studied for the priesthood, but his heart wasnt in it. Culpeper was in love with a rich heiress of whom his family disapproved, so they planned to marry in secret. On the eve of their elopement, his fiancee was struck dead by lightning, which sent Culpeper into a deep depression.

Culpepers best known and loved work is his herbal, called A Complete Herbal, which has never really gone out of print since it was first published. It gives the astrological indications of every herb in terms of planets and signs of the zodiac. According to Culpeper, plants were able to channel and embody the subtle life energies of the planets, which were then consumed as food and medicine. Through an elaborate system of planetary sympathies and antipathies, he found the right herb or formula to treat the patients illness.

Each of these flowers, their roots, their stems, their leaves, buds, blossoms, seeds, fruit are filled with secret geometric symphonies of the Angelic Kingdoms lowest body. The Angelic Kingdom sings the math of the Music of the Spheres into the manifold formations, musical themes, solos, duets, trios, quartets, quintets, sextets, septets, octets, nonets, dectets, hendectets and undectets are woven as Goethean Science into the visible geometry(CLICK LINK FOR GEOMETRY AND TONE), color and scent, medicinal virtue, nutritional value that arises from the soil, the Earth.

46

We can now SEE with crystal clarity that Sound, Consonants and Vowels literally Shimmer through our Etheric Bodies with each Sound and Each Word we utter. For a fleeting moment both our Etheric bodies and the Speech forces in our Larynx meet and pollinate each other. It happens swiftly, which represents for us the immense meditation of the transition from the Mars forces of blood and heredity and the forces of the human Word Powers to the Mercurial, Conscious, swift ability of consciousness and Etheric mobility able to apprehend a single Tone, a single Sound, hear it, see and understand it in less than a twinkling of the Eye.

47

It is truly a new Mercurial mandate that is arising from the New Nature Beings we are beholding in

48

the effervescent Word. This Liquid, quivering Mercurial Entity is prepared to Serve Humanity and Ahriman is petrified that it may be so. Ahriman will do everything in his power to kill the life out of these New Beings who wish to serve humanity. It takes some training, it does. It takes some interest, it does. The Christ had these silvery or Swift Rainbow Hued Spirits at his command, to serve HIM. The entire arrangement and Colonies of Zodiac and Planetary servants embodied in our Consonants and Vowels rejoiced and were Baptized in the Living Life Ethers that we call the Fountain of Life. Speech and Eurythmy where the Etheric Christ Dwells are the Living Waters of Budhi and the Life-Spirit (study link for LIFE-SPIRIT CAPACITIES) where these New Nature forces await the I AM of humanity to Sing them, Speak them and Dance them into service.

From Angels to Archangels

Geographical, arid, desert, jungles, forests, mountains, lake regions, marshes, islands, ocean shores are Archangelic regions where both LANGUAGE and the unique flora and fauna of specific countries, LANGUAGE BLOCKS, have specific native fruits, spices, herbs, trees, foods that are served that support the etheric nutritional Life and Etheric Language forces of various regions over the Earth. The Archangels have as their lowest body, not the etheric, but the astral body. The Etheric and ethnic forces and the different qualities, the Soul of different regions, their favorite cuisines and dishes, their sounds, their music, their style in dress and the peculiarities of their poets and their way of speaking, accents, lilts, brogues, gestures, particularly the Etheric gestures from the animated Italian of the Sentient Soul forces, The strong nasal forces of the French (CLICK LINK), snails, cuisine, wine, love; the English language forces of Owen Barfield, Tolkien, Shakespeare and the Consciousness Soul; the sing-song of the Swedish; Chinese, Japanese, Aborigine, Native American, Cherokee, Apache, Crow, Blackfoot, Sioux, Chippewa, Navajo, Hopi. To be honest the Archangels that live in the gestures and forces of the WORD, that hover over a region of Flora and Fauna, that weave inside the lungs and hearts of ALL THESE ETHERIC BODIES, cover vast areas of land mass of the Earth, these Archangel Spirits give the Temperament, Soul, Foods and Flavors of the regions on Earth their Etheric Character. Our Individual human Angels negotiate through our karma with the vast Archangel Community, the Eighth Hierarchy above us for our place, our destination, our incarnation point, our karmic conditions of family life and Language that will most assist us in the unfolding of our own unique Spiritual development.

We learn through our Mother Tongue how our Thought life, can serve as the vehicle for our individual national, regional and Folk expressions here on Earth. Through the cradle of our Mother Tongue, the Archangels of the different Languages, are all of them, subservient to the Consonants and Vowels that shine forth, above the Archangels themselves, through the forces raying out from the Zodiac and our unique Planetary community. Our unique Language is the Garment of a vast Archangelic Being. The Archangels have a vast community in all the different nuances of all the different Languages scattered over the entire Earth.

Archangelic Language Beings (See Link) and the Group and Folk Soul Entities
In a certain respect the Archangel-nature, the one which guides the people, is something which floats above the separate individual human beings. The personal things which a man experiences because he receives perceptions through his senses, are foreign to the Archangel who is guiding the people. But there are intermediaries, and it is important that we should understand that there are such intermediaries. They are the Beings we call Angels, who are between the Archangels and man. You must take this in the strictest sense of the words: Folk-spirits are Archangels, they are Spirits who have finished the transforming of their astral bodies into Spirit-self or Manas, and are now transforming their etheric body or life-body into Life-spirit. Just halfway between these Beings and man are the Angels. These are Beings who are occupied in remodeling their astral body into Spirit-self or Manas, but have not yet concluded their work. At the present time man is at the beginning of this work, the Angels are nearly at the end of it, but have in no wise finished it. Therefore these Beings come into closer contact with that which makes up the daily life of man. We may say that the Angels incline with their whole soul-nature towards what we call the astral body. For this reason they fully understand all the joy and sorrow the human personality may go through. But because on the other hand they extend much higher than the human I , because they possess a higher I , because they can take in part of the higher world, the world of their consciousness extends to that domain in which is to be found the sphere of consciousness of the Archangels. They are therefore really the intermediaries between the Archangels and the several human individuals. They on their part receive the commands of the Folk-spirits and convey them into the several souls, and by means of this agency is brought about what a single individual may do, not only for his own progress, his own evolution, but for his whole people.

THE WAY OF THE WORD Aphorisms on the Word By Albert Steffen

The Tree of Life is rooted in the Word. In the Kingdom of the Spirits of Nature is speech. The Nouns of this speech of the gods corresponds to the minerals, the Adjectives to the plants, the Verbs to the animals. Human Beings are the connection of Noun, Adjective and Verb a sentence constructed by our higher self. The inspired genius of the higher self of humanity does not only imitate the words of the gods, but may continue to form them; indeed, we may even create new words. The inner genius of our higher selves have Word Forming Power.

Nearly every word has been let fall by the gods. Many words seem dead. Several are in danger of becoming sub-human. A few still contain WILLwherein the godhead sleeps, or FEELING where in it dreams, or SELF-AWARENESS where in it lies enshrouded.

Into the swoon of our human self-consciousness the Word of Life, (the Bread of Life, Budhi and the Life Spirit (SEE LINK) of the Risen Etheric Christ may always penetrate like a seed into the soil of the soul and spirit.

The revelation of a New Earth will then sound forth. Words which were once alive have become coffins imprisoning spirits. These spirits are only seemingly dead and may be redeemed. An Angel must step out of every shrine. Poets must never cease to love the Word that has overcome death, until a complete host of living God-Beings stand before us. With these hosts of Living Words we set out to fight against the beast which continues to rise from the abyss.

I AM MORE Than a STONE on Earths floor, Because the Father-Creator, As World-Formator, Gave me the chance Of an upright stance. I AM DEEPER Than the PLANT, unconscious sleeper, Because the Son as Heavenly Word In the deeps of my heart is heard. I AM IT SEEMS, More than than the BEAST who dreams, Because the Spirit came, The enlightening flame, To my head, as cosmic thought, The brightness of thinking brought. I AM A HUMAN BEING, Myself and my fellows freeing, Creative Community maker, Helper, guardian and waker, As Thinker The Truth Behold, As Lover The Word Unfold, As Actor Do Deeds that are bold.

Rudolf Steiner (Link) The more interior speech organs are so formed out of Mans essential being that they can produce vowels, and the organs nearer to the periphery, the palate, the tongue, the lips and everything that contributes to the form of the physical body, are built up in such a way that consonants can be produced.

And singing swarms of stars, like golden bees, Built the white honeycombs which are my bones, And lit deaths candle in their secrecies, Dipped them in dew, and shuttered them in stones. So from the water-lily of the moon, Down airs steep escalade I made my way, Stately with stars, in mesh of light, soon, soon To dim my splendor with disguise of clay. When through the darkling cave of birth I crept, Entered my house, touched pillar, vault, and plinth, The Stellar map of skies which oer me swept Was printed in my skulls grey labyrinth. Thus, while I wake, behind blind walls of loam, A cataract of Stars Inhabits me; Till, sleeping, they surge skyward, heavenward, home To the fair tents of their nativity.

Rudolf Steiner It was thought that when the human being has entered the planetary sphere on his way to a new birth and has been received by it insofar as his etheric body is concerned, he subsequently enters the earth. He is received by the earth. Yet, even here, people did not merely think of the solid earth. Rather, they thought of the earth with its elements. Apart from the fact that the human being is received by the planetary sphere whereby he would be a superearthly being, whereby he would be what he is only as a soul it was said that like a child he is received by the elements of the earth, by fire or warmth, by air, water, and the solid earth. All of these elements were considered the actual earth. Consequently, it was thought, the human beings etheric body is so tinged by these external elements, so saturated, that now the temperaments

originate in it.

Thus,
61

the temperaments were pictured as closely tied to the etheric body, hence to the life organization of the human being.

All his pent-up wrath burst forth in a sudden explosion, Even as a hand-grenade, that scatters destruction around it. Wildly he shouted, and loud: John Alden! you have betrayed me! Me, Miles Standish, your friend! have supplanted, defrauded, betrayed me! One of my ancestors ran his sword through the heart of Wat Tyler; Who shall prevent me from running my own through the heart of a traitor? Yours is the greater treason, for yours is a treason to friendship! You, who lived under my roof, whom I cherished and loved as a brother; You, who have fed at my board, and drunk at my cup, to whose keeping I have intrusted my honor, my thoughts the most sacred and secret, You too, Brutus! ah woe to the name of friendship hereafter! Brutus was Caesars friend, and you were mine, but henceforward Let there be nothing between us save war, and implacable hatred! So spake the Captain of Plymouth, and strode about in the chamber, Chafing and choking with rage; like cords were the veins on his temples. But in the midst of his anger a man appeared at the doorway, Bringing in uttermost haste a message of urgent importance, Rumors of danger and war and hostile incursions of Indians Straightway the Captain paused, and, without further question or parley, Took from the nail on the wall his sword with its scabbard of iron, Buckled the belt round his waist, and, frowning fiercely, departed. Alden was left alone. He heard the clank of the scabbard Growing fainter and fainter, and dying away in the distance. Meanwhile the choleric Captain strode wrathful away to the council *********************************

One Consonantal force of Air. Trill enhances will forces and stirs Astral force and vibrates into the Etheric
From, The Spiritual Hierarchies and Their Reflection in the Physical World: The first stirring of the I AM is expressed in speech, in sound. All sound-formation is connected in a particular way with the forces of procreation. . . . The breaking of the voice at puberty, for example, is connected in a definite way with the powers of propagation. There is a hidden relationship between them. Everything related to this sphere in man was summed up by ancient consciousness as the Bull nature of the human Being. This is how the
66

designation of this particular zodiacal sign arose. (Lecture VIII April 17, 1909).

Spring is an exhilarating moment of Earths procreative forces, bursting out of its winter confinement and containment. Through plants, animals and human beings the worlds hidden forces are urged forth in Spring with tremendous inner dynamic and strength. And the startling phenomena of the change of voice and puberty in males, connected with the reproductive forces and THE HUMAN WORD,

67

deepen the voice and awaken in the human being the connections, the intimate links between our astral and etheric bodies and our I AM. The human being is a willing and unwilling Procreative Participant in the mysteries of Sex and Speech. We become one of natures high voltage walking spark plugs who are able to inseminate and call forth human life down from the Stars. Speech and Word appears to take a back-seat to the unfolding momentum of our new sexual energies. Forces in our blood stream learn to race southwards. We learn the laws of lusty Earthy Beauty and that our desires, our astral urges and our blood, our I AM, (unable yet to waken the cognitive powers latent in our I AM) we find ourselves in the bosom of Nature and experiencing the full tidal forces of the flood of the Will of Nature through our endocrine and sexual drives. These titanic Will Urges in the human being and will forces of nature come under the mystery heading of Mithras Initiation. Of course every teenager discovers a secret force in them that instead of having to wait for Spring, our independent sexual energies can manifest Spring anytime we feel the desire to through our urges based on our potent reproductive sexual whims and instincts. Which meansTHE BULL has been let loose in the china shop. The Bull is let loose through theRunning of the Bulls in Spain. The Bull is let loose in the BULL MARKET and our desires are let loose to run rampant through human culture. So Egypt had the potent powers of the Speech Organ, the Larynx, overshadowed and thundering through its Life Forces, because in the Third Cultural Epoch theBULL, the central organ of Speech and the Word, our reproductive forces in our change of voice and our blood, had the Constellation of the Bull as its Spring Equinox awakening power.

68

We are currently in the Fifth Cultural epoch and our Spring Equinox is heralded under the Constellation of Pisces and the Fishes. So to gain some potent insight into the Word Forces of the Larynx and the Power of the Word that ran with full force under the Egyptian culture, we face the hieroglyphic writing forces of the Word, picture forces of the Astral body and the Living Power of the Word that was being used in The Temple Sleep. All of these forces of the Larynx flow through the one AIR and will force generator, the Consonant we use as the letter R in every word that has a letter R in it, the raw and pure fountain head of forces that generate the entire system of Speech and channel the reproductive forces upwards into the Larynx are ruled under the Consonant we use sometimes with powerful trilling, and vibrating

69

the R sound and sometimes a soft R but in that R Consonant the forces of theBull, Speech and the higher reproductive forces of the I AM were sent upwards to map out the astral world of the stars and bring the forces of the Word into Writing, and bring the forces of the Word down through Human Culture. Now it is intimate to the forces of Speech and the Word, that in our Fifth Cultural Epoch, we may now send the forces of the Word upwards, we are breaking with the ancient blood lines of Kings and Pharaohs, of royalty and the Queen of England, we are breaking with the fallacy of foolishly trying to trace the blood line of Jesus of Nazareth through The Da Vinci Code or The Holy Blood and theHoly Grail. The path of the Word, through the larynx sends the Speech and Reproductive forces upwards through the portal of Eurythmy and the New Nature forces of Spring that have arisen under the age of Pisces and the Fishes, consciously. Instead of the instinctive flow of the blood and reproductive forces flowing downwards and unconsciously into our sexuality, Speech and the powers in the Word are now being sent upwards. Speech and the Word are sent upwards, outwards, pollinating through the Word, each human being who is able to Hear and Understand the new mysteries of Eurythmy and the Word. Pollinating and lifting the Word out of the dead region of language, materialism and our blood, upwards to the rejuvenation and conscious enlivening of the Etheric and Astral forces, unfolding a new spring even now as we Speak. Now under the Spring Constellation of Pisces we are experiencing a new cultural puberty of the Word, a new channel of creative forces that releases and Frees the Consonants and Vowels from their imprisonment in matter.

Ariels Song from Shakespeares The Tempest WheRe the bee sucks, theRe suck I; In a cowslipss bell I lie; TheRe I couch when owls do cry. On the bats back I do fly AfteR summeR meRRily. MeRRily, MeRRily shall I live now UndeR the blossom that hangs on the bough.
We have included Shakespeares The Tempest in our studies and there are many things we can add to this most marvelous tale of the Word and the magical humanized Sylph Spirit Ariel. We each have one of these Sylph Spirit hunters and retrievers who willingly, even now accepts our commands from our own I AM. Those commands that our own Sylph Spirit responds to, are wide ranging. Working with our karma and destiny and the Moons forces, we can request in our hearts and in our desires to know something deeper. It is like trying to remember a word and how slowly the word comes

71

back to us. But here, we may also send our own Astral Air

Spirit

out on retrieval

expeditions to lead us to clues we are following within our thought life, our research, our most intimate soul interests, that no one but ourselves know. The breed of astral servant from which Ariel has arisen, is trained to bring clues and insights back from the far reaches of the world. Ah, (Venus Vowel) Ah but here is the catch. The catch is that we have to pay attention to clues that will arise when our own Sylph Spirit brings them back. It isnt just remembering a Word we forgot, it could be a sign in a window that triggers a thought, it could be a color, a face, a sound in the street, a smell from our childhood, and suddenly that clue that we sent our own Sylph Spirit out to find, appears like a flash and we have to remember and take the AWE the WONDER, which is a kind of joy and something similar to a wagging of the tail in well loved dog. Our own Sylph Spirit who serves us, is as loyal, and as intimate as the servant Prospero had in his own Tempest. But Prospero was quick and understood what Ariel brought back and could quickly and mercurially recognize and read the signature of intuition written in the astral light. We have to be just as Mercurially alive, alert and awake in our intuitions to catch the loving insights of our own Sylph Spirit. But what we hadnt guessed about the amazing science of The Tempest and the Speech Forces locked in Shakespeares magnificent writing is something even more peculiar. The body of Shakespeares work are his children, brought forth under the sign of Speech and the

72

Word.

When a

Sylph Spirit is freed, when Ariel earns and gains its freedom from the human being, that human being, like Buddha has transformed and humanized one of the enslaved elemental servants that had been its companion through Times and Ages. Finally the human being has matured, conquered its lower nature and the potential of lifting the veil of matter and the interlinks and locks of matter that are truly only unlocked by Light and Love. When the human being learns the lessons of Light and Love, matter can no longer hold it. We conquer the riddles of matter ourselves and matter can no longer hold us.

73

In Shakespeares brilliant masterpieces the forces of Speech and the Word were crafted into tools for lungs and human hearts to behold and live with. In the intimate activity of Word Formation and the Breath the Sylph Spirits we all have, are trained, as actors, and in particular living through Shakespeares Words, his use of language triggers to life the education and awakening of our own

When Shakespeare frees Ariel, Ariel has been fully liberated, trained and humanized. It is a restored Stellar Star Spirit. It has been dignified in a human breast and raised by the Word Powers in a Human Being and is available for all of our Spirits and all of the Sylph and airy Word forces we can produce out of our human larynx and Voice Box. This is Ariels new job description, An Awakener and an Enlivener of the slumbering Speech fo rces we have nestled in our Larynx. So here is a secret that few understand. Shakespeares Ariel now hovers, sends herself out to any and all Shakespeare productions and in all of these productions and in all the actors and in all the lungs and all the voice boxes and in all the hearts, Ariel has been freed up to be the multifaceted Inspirer that hovers like an Angel over any group or production company, any number of people who have chosen to live into Shakespeares Words, there lives Ariel as well. Ariel is now miniature holy ghost, a mercurial servant of all our human air spirits. Ariel acts as an awakener of the living vowels and consonants that have never tasted, hoped or have yet come to life, were never returned to their starry origins. Ariel, the Sy lph Shakespeare liberated in The Tempest, now seeks to liberate our own Consonants our Vowels and our Word Forces into light, love, laughter, drama, tragedy and comedy, whole worlds and souls and spirits and Imaginations, alive, filled with Devachan and starry astral wisdom in each sound, is the enthusiastic field of work that Ariel now pollinates in each human Larynx. Ariel helps sing forth our love of Language and the Word so our slumbering Speech Sounds return to life.

100 Years of Eurythmy

The ancients identified each of the seven original modes with one of the Planets, whose power to influence their destinies they were thus enabled through music to invoke at will, as a nation or as individuals, The Greeks of Hellas adopted the Sun or Dorian mode as the foundation of their wonderful musical system, whereas the Phrygians appealed to Venus, Lesbos to the Moon, Lydia to Mercury. The idea of the Planetary basis of music originated with the Egyptians and was accepted by the Greeks who connected the twenty-eight notes of the scales with the days of the moons rotation. The fifteen notes of the diatonic scale were related to the same number of days of the moons increase, The seven days were associated with the seven notes of the octave Kathleen Schlesinger

THE VOWEL UH SATURN A STUDY IN WESTERN COSMOLOGY These Saturn impulses have a very special influence on men. Even the perception of them when a man looks back upon his earthly life between the fifty-sixth and sixty-third years even the sight of the Saturn mysteries is in many respects shattering; these mysteries are in a sense alien to earthly life. And whoever gradually learns through Initiation knowledge to perceive the Saturn mysteries that are connected with this period of life, undergoes experiences of dramatic intensity, shattering experiences, that are harder and harder to bear because these mysteries strike at the very roots of life. Rudolf Steiner
Exploring the planets and our infatuation with a DEAD COSMOLOGY that is the inspiration of NASA, good Sci-Fi and world wide efforts to master STFF Space the Final Frontier in warp drive Star Trek ships and marvel at Star Wars special effects on wild untamed planets, (now here is where it gets tricky) it produces only a DEAD COSMOLOGY.
Today the human being himself is changing from being a creature to becoming a creator. But if he clings on to the world of what has become, he releases forces of decline. Opposing this, Rudolf Steiner opened up access to the world of real creative forces. In speech as archetype of the arts, the human being still carries an image of the etheric world in himself and can consequently lift himself from being a creature to that of a creator. And so the significance which Steiner gives to speech is understandable. In speech the future is enclosed like a seed. The human being received speech on its descent into the earthly world as a precious store of provision and seed for the future. But in order that this seed can again grow into life, it has to come out of the realm of the feeling heart where it could be protected, and enter the realm of the will. Martin-Ingbert Heigl

Our task as humanity is without a doubt, to become familiar with how the planets have formed us. Our job is to become familiar with how the planets intimately influence us, their ratios, orbits, weights, pulls, balances, intangible and tangible meanings but most importantly we need the freedom to become familiar with their intrinsic Personalities. The Planets have Personalities and Beings and our task as humanity is to become familiar with the family of the Planets and the Beings who inhabit them. This requires us to change our orientation and thinking. It is not merely the surface location of the planet that interests us, where we send our cameras and robots to scour the surface and send back pictures, that has been merely a Galileo Galilein, Tycho De Brahe

90

and Keplerian (Kepler Link Here) monumental

achievement.

Our

intimate human task is to meet, encounter and gain insights into the Personality, position, mark points and Beings, that without a doubt, DO inhabit the Devachan region of these planets and learn HOW to see them and understand them.
Nicholas Copernicus (14731543) became a Church dignitary in Frauenburg. His celebrated astronomical work, De revolutionibus orbiurn coelestium, had been dedicated to Pope Paul III, but was not printed until 1543, in Nurnberg. Although protected, to begin with, by the dedication to the Pope, in 1615 it was put on the Index of books forbidden to Catholics, remaining there until 1822, when the ban was officially lifted by the Vatican on works dealing with the earths motion and the fixed position of the sun.

Galilee Galileo and Walking on the Etheric Waters of Western Cosmology

In several instances of research I have brought forward a LivingWestern Cosmology (SEE LINK) from Embryologyand the Science of the Word inEurythmy (CLICK LINK) and the Consonantsand the current exploration of theVowels and the Planets. We can, as well, encounter the interior of Western Cosmology in Shakespeare and his SEVEN AGES, which also taps into human biography. But to merely say human biography apparently does nt strike home or impress us quite enough. The Science of the Planets and Western Cosmology is also directly related to the intimacies of human biography as we shall discover by examining the Saturn Mysteries.

Rudolf Steiner (Click Link)

To the modern materialistic view of the cosmos, Saturn is observed merely as a body moving about in cosmic space; and the same with the other planets. This is not the case; for if we take Saturn, the outermost planet of our Universe, we must represent him as the leader of our planetary system in cosmic space. He directs our system in space. He is the body for the outermost force which leads us round in thelemniscate in cosmic space . . . Were he alone to work, we should continually move in a lemniscate. (Click This Link for further insights)

96

There is an obvious failure in our education and a horrible reluctance to cohesively approach a true Western Cosmology and over come our infatuation with the dead apparatus and functioning of the Planets and Solar System. Without effort on our parts we can stare all we want at the magnificent NASA and HUBBLE pictures of the cosmos and twiddle our thumbs and wait for more materialism to give us tourist shots of those magnificent orbs, those spinning islands rotating majestically in space; OR we can get down to awakening each of our insights into every human being we meet. We can mature and educate ourselves and learn to know the true nature of the planets shining through every human being. We can learn to do our own spiritual space walking as explorers able to see the very Beings of the Planets themselves.

97

This study will introduce us to the Saturn Beings and the origin of the resonatingVowel Sound UH .

The Saturn Beings are alien to our mode of perception. Human Beings are unique members of the planetary community. We integrate and incorporate into our soul and physical, etheric and astral bodies the entire range of Planetary Beings. We are literally the portals and windows through which the planetary worlds shine forth and Speak. It is in the very secrets of our anatomy and in the secrets of the Vowels that we emotionally raise to art and skill in our Operas, Speech and Songs (CLICK THIS LINK).

98

On The Celts, and also on the new album Watermark, Enya employs the multi-vocal technique layers and layers of perfectly pitched and matched breathing of vowel sounds. Sometimes, she painstakingly record a sound or word hundred times over. Cronus is Saturn, the son of Uranus and Gaea. CronusSaturn is the keeper of Time (CLICK LINK) and the karmic memory of humanity and the gods who created humanity. To become an independent explorer and voyager into the region of immortality, an intense course study and training in Cronus and Saturn is required.

All the Planets are operative within us. Our Lungs a gift from Mercury, our Hearts a gift from the Sun, our Livers a gift from Jupiter, arranged from center to periphery, our Bladder - is a gift from the Moon and the tides that run through our bodies at the center; our kidneys are a gift from Venus further out; our gallbladder, of all the gall is a gift Mars; our liver a gift from Jupiter and the orbit of Jupiter in years around the Sun, matches the cycle of our livers in hours within our bodies; and finally our spleen is a gift from the Saturn Beings, which in our anatomy and our inner organ system stands very close to the periphery of the outer region of organs. We are going to look at some of the specifics of the Saturn Beings who are the guardians of mighty Saturn which sits, loaded with mysteries for us to penetrate and unravel.

KVASIR and Baldr (also Balder, Baldur) reveal the hidden secret of Western Cosmology (See Link)
When the AESIR and the VANIR had made a truce, and settled terms for a lasting peace, every single god and goddess spat into a great jar. This put the seal on their friendship, and because the Aesir were anxious that no one should forget it, even for one moment, they carried off the jar andout of the spittle they fashioned a man. His name was KVASIR. He was so steeped in all matters and mysteries of the nine worlds since fire and ice first met in Ginnungagap that no god nor man or giant nor dwarf ever regretted putting him a question or asking his opinion. THE HUMAN BEING IS THE PORTAL TO THE PLANETS AND THE CONSTELLATIONS.

We are pretty giddy with excitement when it comes to our external earth-bound sense of SEEING the surface systems of the design and lay-out of the planets. With Saturn there are several significant mysteries we have been able to detect, partly with our external NASA technology. One of those insights is the magnificent HEXAGON on the North Pole of Saturn. The Hexagon is a Life System, Earth System foundation that exist in all aspects of matter from the plants green blood to our human blood, DNA and crystal formations of our Earth. (Please Click on this Link and study the Hexagonal Mystery of Saturn).

Saturn and the Acoustical Mystery of the Planets

The gateways and doorways through to the planets, how we enter these Planetary Mysteries are all about the higher frequencies of Math and Tone. Sound that sounds forth through a higher vibrational frequency, when it resounds in the soul life, when we can SEE the Tone and Hear the Tone, we can follow that massive cosmic Tone out to the Planets. What was the Mystery of the 1st Goetheanum? The 1st Goetheanum, THE HOUSE OF THE WORD, had a series of vast, carved wooden pillars running the length of the BAU, the building. The WOOD of the Pillars carried Tone, with such exquisite, living vibration, that the entire building or

100

BAU was an instrument and resonated with the Living Word.

We know the story of The Red Violin (Click Link). The Red Violin movie is about the creator, owners and users of a strange red violin. The film follows the violins journey through 7 different languages and covers a period over 300 years. It is an acoustic masterpiece of construction by a master. But its mystery is very much like the brilliant mystery of the Instrument of the Word that Rudolf Steiner made called The Bau. Here we know something in advance of our understanding. The Red Violin (Click Link) is an Imagination that has to do with the blood that was mixed into the varnish of the violin and the mysterious journey of Love, as the blood is the I AM, the mysterious journey of the intangible science of Love, which allowed the most intoxicating, priceless, impressive journey of Sound through Time. The Red Violin (Click Link) needed Souls and Spirits to play it and when they did, it was the single most perfect acoustic instrument ever seen or played by human hands. We are each of us such precious instruments of Tone (We are Architects of Sound Click Link) enveloped in the mystery of our I AM and our blood. And the science of the Mystery of the blood that was spilled on Golgotha by a Divine Being is a singing Instrument of the Cosmic Word that continues to journey through time. 300 years is the length of one work day of a Time Spirit, known as an Archae.

101

But to create the Tonal Instrument of a Building that replicated the inner tonal structure of the Temple that Zarathustra and Christ built and Christ rebuilt the Immortal Planetary and Zodiacal masterpiece of Spirit-Man in three days Mark 14:56-59 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree. Then some stood

up and gave this false testimony against him: We heard him say, I wi ll destroy this man-made temple and in three days will build another, not made by man. Yet even then their testimony did not agree .

- to restore the Masterpiece of the Resurrected Human Spirit Rudolf Steiner reproduced the Resurrected Model in the magnificent Tonal Masterpiece of Resonating Pillars and Tone, the double domed cupolas that revealed on the inner ceiling of the BAU - the higher Devachan Vision of Humanity that resounds through the Revelation of St. John. Rudolf Steiner did this during the Saturn period of his human biography. It is this Saturn Mystery in the Vowel Sound UH and the Time Frame of SATURN in the Human Biography of Rudolf Steiner that we shall focus on.

56-63 Spirit Man (Saturn) Memory

It was here and only here, at the magnificent HOUSE OF THE WORD, where the doorways to the Planetary Beings were reopened for business. In the HOUSE OF THE WORD, created in Rudolf Steiners SATURN PERIOD OF HIS BIOGRAPHY humanity learned once more to SPEAK BACK TO THE STARS, raising once again to visibility and public authenticity the clear vision of the Mission of Humanity. Resounding through the entire building of the 1st Goetheanum were the Planetary Tones and magnificent revelation of how humanity once more, retrains itself to become the Voice of the Heavens. Through the fact that Rudolf Steiner penetrated the depths of the Christ Mystery, he brought the reality of the Science of the Christ Event and the Science of St. John and the Word out from the darkness of time into the Light of day where all human beings in the West, who love Science, Soul and Spirit could witness and reclaim how Humanity could find the path to return to the Heavens, but not in Spaceships. Rather that each human being, each of us, are the portals, tones, and synthesis of the Heavens. That without a doubt, we, each of us, were made and represent, in our human physical, etheric, astral and I AM systems, the complete, condensed, compact vision of the Heavens. We are the riddle of the Stars, we had merely to learn to see and read how each of us are the riddle of the Stars.
Through the relationship of the different speeds of the planets, the fundamental tones of the harmony of the spheres arise that sound through the cosmos. The School of Pythagoras was justified in speaking of a

102

celestial harmony. With spiritual ears one can hear it. When you spread fine powder as evenly as possible on a thin brass plate and then stroke its edge with a fiddlers bow, the powder moves in a definite line pattern. All kinds of figures will arise depending on the pitch of the tone. The tone effects a distribution of the material. These are called Chladny figures (CLICK LINK DEMONSTRATION). When the spiritual tone of the celestial harmony sounded forth into the universe, it o rganized the planets into their relationships. (Occult Signs and Symbols, 1972, pp. 9-12)

There are three waves of human biography, human math, that match the orbital periods of the outer planets. Listen carefully, the Saturn Beings are the stern guardians of the outer incubation area we see with our telescopes, of the First Creation and Warmed Cosmic Embryo where Humanity was first conceived. The orbit of Saturn marks what is known as the Ancient Saturn Evolution. The Jupiter Beings are completely different and the orbit of Jupiter marks the circumference point of the Ancient Sun Evolution. The Mars Beings are an unruly lot, but their orbital demarcation around the Sun marks the extent of the Old Moon Evolution.

Rudolf Steiner brings this crisp sentence from (THIS LINK) You will do well if you picture those outer planets as boundary marks for the limits of the ancient Worlds. Spiritual Hierarchies: Lecture 5
The various Pythagorean, musical, mathematical and biographical systems reveal clearly and distinctly that we as Humanity are the compendium and harmonic system of the planets and all Life

on Earth reflects that.

Our

entire Emotional field of Vowel Expressions are gateways to the Rainbow, the Law of the Rainbow of emotion and Goethes Theory of Color. Which means Humanity is truly a spectrum and prism for the many Planetary Beings who make up our Solar Community. Humans can be one-sided but they are

103

designed to contain the full spectrum of Light that runs through our Souls, our Art, our Science and our Religion.

Sun, Moon, and Stars, blue air, seven-colored bow In man are offered to the worlds below. Stone, Blossom, Beast and Earths great task of Love In man are offered to the worlds above.
Let us briefly review how the border-land of TIME and HUMAN KARMA has remained in the grip of the Saturn Beings. Before I actualize this piece of apparent Greek Mythology, it is important to get our heads on straight. To comprehend such a study as the KARMA LECTURES by Rudolf Steiner, we are required to appreciate a course study in the Saturn Mysteries. To actually gain the capacity to be a fully conscious Karma Researcher of individual human I AMs, tracking and tracing their journeys out beyond Saturn, to a new incarnation, actually requires an intimate understanding, not just of the names of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, but the shattering intimate knowledge of being able to bear the force of knowing ourselves to the depths of our being and sustaining Living Love Light and Hope, through the most vivid comprehension of the tragic condition of humanity. This crushing journey into the realm of Conscious Karma Cognition requires an intimate and sobering knowledge of the Christ Event on Earth, and an unwavering familiarity with the Vowel Sound UH .

Speech Sample VOWEL SOUND UH The Horned Owl by Barry Cornwall

In the hollow tree in the old grey tower, The spectral owl doth dwell; Dull, hated, despised in the sunshine hour, But at dusk hes abroad and well: Not a bird in the forest eer mates with him, All mock him outright by day; But at night when the woods grow still and dim, The boldest will shrink away.

104

Oh, when the night falls and roosts the

fowl, Then, then is the reign of the horned owl! And the owl hath a bride who is fond and bold, And loveth the woods deep gloom; And with eyes like the shine of the moonshine cold She awaiteth her ghastly groom! Not a feather she moves, nor a carol she sings, As she waits in her tree so still; But when here heart heareth his flapping wings, She hoots out her welcome shrill! Oh, when the moon shines, and the dogs do howl, Then, then is the cry of the horned owl.

105

Mourn not for the owl nor his gloomy plight! The owl hath his share of good: If a prisoner he be in the broad daylight, He is lord in the dark green wood! Nor lonely the bird, nor his ghastly mate; They are unto each a pride Thrice fonder, perhaps, since a strange dark fate Hath rent them from all beside! So when the night falls and the dogs do howl, Sing ho! for the reign of the horned owl! We know not alway who are kings by day, But the king of the night is the bold brown owl.
Cronus Saturn is usually depicted viciously devouring and eating his children. We are the Reincarnating offspring of mighty Saturn. The Greeks moved the goal posts IN to Jupiter and Zeus because Jupiters actual orbit in space marks the perimeter of the Ancient Sun Evolution. Goethes karmic roots go all the way back to ancient Greek culture. Through Goethe humanity bought time to absorb the immense awakening of the Etheric Life of the Logos and the deed that was performed at Golgotha.

106

This strengthening in the realm of Jupiter and the ancient Etheric Sun forces has allowed humanity to endure, reach out and embrace the Saturn Mysteries. Goethe and the Goetheanum, and the etheric sciences, and our study of Etheric Phytology are all Jupiter/Sun Mysteries. Goethe himself is literally an honored Jupiterian Representative. Rudolf Steiner brought the Etheric Sciences of Goethe all the way to the Etheric Christ Mysteries. By resurrecting and transforming the Greek Mysteries, Steiner was able to expand further beyond the Saturn Mysteries and establish the first all encompassing Science of Western Cosmology. Which begs the question, St. John was once the Folk-Spirit of the Celtic people wasnt he? This Celtic Folk Spirit sacrificed his position to become the guiding Spirit of Esoteric Christianity. However, the Exoteric Spirit of Christianity was given to the Folk-Spirit of the Greek people. Goethe carried the focused exoteric SUBSTANCE of the Greek Soul. However, whoever was assigned the task of representing the Exoteric Mysteries of Christianity, was once the Greek-Folk-Spirit. So now we see two Spiritual Individualities, chosen by the Christ Being. One to represent the Esoteric Eagle Heights

107

of the Christ Mysteries and the other to work side by side representing the Exoteric Mysteries of Christianity. I will look more closely at this question a little later. There is no single, individual, human rhythm pattern, in one life-span of a human being, that averages 72 years, there is no pattern in human life on Earth, in biography, anatomy or human destiny, so far, that matches the outer planets orbits named Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Most importantly the human soul so far, is not designed to utter Vowel Sounds beyond the realm of Saturn.

If you had the remnants of a classic Greek filter system still alive within your soul life, you would realize something profound that is crushed and degraded in EVERY educational system. The underestimation, the lack of thinking insight into the structure of Greek Thinking that is so much deeper and richer than anything we ever reduce down to a game of THRONES, even the name THRONES, Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones are being ripped away from the outstanding laws of cognition and how we approach Western Cosmology. Cronus Saturn is the young son of Gaea and Uranus. When we draw attention to an Alien Being and an Alien Intelligence, we are tasked to know the Saturn Beings if we would know that there is no such thing as a BIG BANG. If you entertain the aberration of the BIG BANG and have made it part of your theory of Western Cosmology 101 and prance proudly patting clever science on the back for having solved the greatest gnawing riddle of human history, than you are a victim of what I drew a link to in PART ONE. Every scientist and university and teacher who glorifies this BIG BANG and other nonsense has been infected with the Fall of the Star Beings. We perpetuate the imprisoning of the Eurythmy and Word Beings and continue to darken our own and our childrens path t hrough the stars because we wish

108

to remain unconscious of certain WORD MYSTERIES. We cripple our capacity to understand the true science of Western Cosmology, Eurythmy or the Christ Mystery Itself because we never had the good fortune to study the following link carefully.

Deadly Aberrations, Abstractions, Distortions and lies in Western Cosmology (asked to study the link again, it was given in part one and is given again here CLICK LINK and study carefully)
it is clearly possible to see among those who fought hard against the dominion of Michael, and against whom the spirits of Michael had to proceed it is clearly possible to see among them to this day, the very spirit-beings whom Klingsor conjured up in the Wartburg long ago against Wolfram von Eschenbach.

But it is most significant of all to recognize this connection of abstract rationalism, abstractly clever thinking, with that which lives in the subconscious as darkened, veiled conceptions about the stars and relationships to the stars. Such things, living in the subconscious, rise into consciousness as abstract thoughts. We can study the karma of the cleverest men of the present day cleverest in the materialist sense and we find that as a rule in former earthly lives they had something to do with cosmological aberrations into the realms of black magic. This is a very significant connection.

To the Greek mind Uranus did not like the Titans and Cyclops children, and again, we follow the powerful word TITANIC, a heck of a set of Consonants it has too. Just look at those strong T s. The Birth of Eurythmy and The Sinking of the Titanic in 1912 follow two different and distinct

journeys.

Eurythmy rises with the Risen Etheric Christ

109

and follows the trail of love and the resurrection of the WORD out beyond Saturn. We reawaken legitimate Western Cosmology from the TOMB that it has been sealed in. Our Ahrimanic inspired technologies are following a path that will drag Earth and Humanity down to cosmic enslavement. The dividing line was the 1912 Birth of Eurythmy and the 1912 sinking of the Titanic. Western Cosmology rises again in the Word or sinks with Ahrimanic University dictated, taught and infected materialistic poisoning of our childrens Thoughts Words Insights Ideas and imprisoning all of us into a falsified and blackened, hypnotic Western Cosmology. With Ahriman we follow the actual immoral children of Gaea, Nuclear Energy, degradation of the Sun Evolution and Etheric Life of humanity currently in the anti-human sciences of Monsanto. Which means we tread the path of producing monsters through genetic manipulation and epidemics, radioactive chromosome infected deformity and an entire Pandoras Play-box of plagues and Monsanto manipulation of seed and gene codes. These monsters have the shelf-life and the half-life of the vast orbital time fields, beyond human biography, of the orbital measurements of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

The rate of decay is a fixed rate called a half-life. The half-life of a radioisotope describes how long it takes for half of the atoms in a given mass to decay.
Well the children of Gaea, what we produce out of our Ahrimanic Inspirations, could very well release cosmic monsters. So should human beings and humanity be permitted to produce ghastly degraded monsters unfit for the future of the cosmos?

The Romans had a mid-winter festival Saturnalia in honor of Saturn. It lasted seven days around the time of Winter Solstice. Saturn was a god of agriculture and harvest. He held a sickle or scythe in his left hand and a bundle of wheat in his right hand. Saturns scythe became a symbol of the grim reaper or death, hence in astrology Saturn is considered malefic.

Cronus Saturn, castrates with a scythe, Cronus-Saturn and the myths of killing our Fathers, from Luke-Skywalker, (Uranus meant sky) to Oedipus who kills his father and marries his mother in an unholy riddle of actual human Karma, places our good friend SATURN as the actual guardian, and stern recorder and sifter of All Human Karma. The Great Castrater or should we call the Saturn Beings the Circumcisers of the Planetary Community? The Saturn Beings might safely be called the Circumscribers of the Planetary Community.

To understand karma, therefore, we must return once more to a wisdom of the stars. We must discover spiritually the paths of man between death and a new birth in connection with the Beings of the stars. (SEE LINK)
If we had a Greek thinking capacity, we would know in our souls that the Karma Lectures by Rudolf Steiner (SEE LINK) signals one of the greatest breakthroughs in human cognition since Greek Mythology met St. John and the Saturn Beings embraced the Christ Event on Golgotha. The Karma Lectures are some of the highest manifestations of Western Cosmology ever presented. These were part of the gifts of a person who was achieving Spirit-Selfhood with heart felt enthusiasm, joy and Michael Courage. So we are tasked with getting to know the stage of human development known as Spirit-Self and learning to rejoice and share the victories and tragedies that signaled the re-birth of Western Cosmology. The Saturn Beings are the historians of the Cosmos. Through this essay we are reviewing a few of the various experiences from reputable sources who have truly, and I make no joke about it, have encountered the Saturn Beings and are witnesses to their highly alien behavior. What is alien to us is meeting a completely one-sided, fully operative community of Planetary Beings who have a completely different task than humanity. Another startling aspect of the Saturn Beings, who are truly the peripheral guardians of the borderlands of deep space, is their memory of the origin and first dawning of humanity.

111

Saturn becomes a living historian of the planetary system. Rudolf Steiner (See Link)
Saturn presents himself to us as the heavenly individuality who has steadfastly participated in whatever has come to pass in our planetary system and has faithfully preserved it in his cosmic memory. He is silent about the cosmic Present. He receives the things of the cosmic Present into himself and works upon them in his life of spirit and soul. True, the hosts of Beings indwelling Saturn lend their attention to the outer universe, but mutely and silently they receive the happenings in the universe into the realm of soul, and they speak only of pastcosmic events. That is why Saturn is like a kaleidoscopic memory of our planetary system. As a faithful informant concerning what has come to pass in the planetary system, he holds its secrets of this kind within himself.
But Cosmology, true Western Cosmology stands at the threshold of an abyss of tragedy. Western Cosmology wishes to merely TREK around with our external sense perception and make no effort, expend no effort in seeing the very nature and beings who truly inhabit our planetary system. And that can be a very shocking and shattering experience especially when we personally meet Saturn Beings. This resistance and reluctance we have to become planetary explorers ourselves, shuts off the higher stream of exploration of the planets that all of us can embark on. We should not settle for a dead science to decree to us a DEAD COSMOLOGY. We can pursue a Living Cosmology of the Planetary system but of course this creates an internal conflict. Who has actually encountered these Beings from the various planets and how do we learn to find the inner doorways and gateways to the planets ourselves? Each of us can do this, we can open the doorways and many have already done it and we can intercept their transmissions and what they uncovered. We can learn the hidden secrets and gateways that unlock the Devachan region of the inner side of the Planetary Community. We are going to make inroads into the Inner Exploration of the Planets and Solar System and turn the tide, bend the rainbow, invert the current of our education that relies wholly on the external worship and infatuation with outer space exploration and learn how to actually meet the Beings of the Planets in the intimacy of our soul life. We are all members of the planetary family and we all have the opportunity of stepping into the stream of exploring the planets and learning of the Beings that inhabit each of the planetary worlds.

112

In fact Western Cosmology only remains a DEAD COSMOLOGY because it has so far been technologically infatuated with external toys instead of EXPLORING the foundations of the human spirit, where we participate directly with the Beings of the Planets. For the sake of a true Western Cosmology let us take a few readings and observations of the Planetary Beings of Saturn.

Saturn and the Relentless Severity of our Individual Karma

Victor Hugo is one of the most famous survivors who crash landed amidst the Saturn Beings, held prisoner, and was given a message from the Saturn Beings to send out to humanity. Everyone is familiar with the front story, but we see how difficult it is to understand the back story. Victor Hugos human encounter with the Saturn Beings is not something we have learned to cherish. There is nothing sweet, playful, trivial or easy going about the Saturn Beings. Nothing happy-go-lucky, skipping down the road, whistling a pleasant Walt Disney tune (SEE LINK) and floating with the breeze surrounded by laughter, beauty and good company that is in any way part of the nature of the Saturn Beings. Their stamp and Personality if we meet them is sombre, weighty, grave, immoveable.

113

That is because as Beings, different than human beings, the Saturn Beings have the task to record, remember, hold, solidify all the events of the world and the cosmos. For them the law of Jot or Tittle is defined as every instant, movement, thought, deed, human and spiritual etheric, astral, physical and I AM, all and every minute event is recorded. This is the appetite and life force, the hunger and living task of the Saturn Beings. They arent Sci -Fi fantasies. Meeting them or meeting a fellow human being who has participated with Saturn Beings is not easily forgettable. Major, memorable, Life Changing, and Life Shattering experiences are part of our encounters, direct encounters with the Saturn Beings. And the fact is that every human being must experience Saturn Beings, some more than others. Saturn Beings are anything but frivolous, superficial, or lite and what we have experienced of them we will probably never forget. The Saturn Beings strike the core, the foundation of the world and ourselves and our deeds at the eternal I AM, literal Bread of Life, Father Forgive them, Chronos forgive them, for they know not what they have done nerve center, of our planetary system.

Matt 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
The Jot is the Hebrew word Yodh which is the 10th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is also the smallest letter. Its European or English equivalent is the letter Y as in the English term Yahweh or in Hebrew YHVH since there were no vowels used in the ancient script.

The word jot itself is an English transliteration of iota which is the 9th letter of the Greek alphabet. Iota, in turn, is the nearest Greek equivalent for the Hebrew yodh.

The tittle is the small decorative spur or point on the upper edge of the yodh. If you can imagine a tiny letter with a slightly visible decorative mark.

Tittle is used by Greek grammarians of the accents and diacritical points. It means the little lines or projections by which the Hebrew letters differ from each other. One example would be the difference between the letter L and I. The difference is only one small mark. We use phrase s like the dotting of the i, and the crossing of the t, and every iota.

It is interesting that the Jewish scribes who copied the MT (Massoretic Text) of the Hebrew Bible scrolls paid the greatest attention to the minutiae of detail and such marks attached to each consonant throughout the entire text. They even numbered every letter, word, sentence, paragraph, chapter, section,

114

and scroll to insure that the total equaled that of the text being copied before allowing it to enter the holy synagogue.

The meaning of the passage is very clear. Not even the smallest letter or even its decorative spur will ever disappear from the God Breathed Word until all is fulfilled. In fact when heaven and earth are replaced by a new heaven and earth, the Word of the Lord will have accomplished its purpose and will be fulfilled in every detail even to the very letter.

We have all encountered Saturn Beings but failed to grasp them because we have no Western Cosmology that can refer to these beings. So in our Saturn Exploration we will examine Victor Hugo, Marleys Ghost, from Charles Dickens and the encompassing destiny of one of the most vivid planetary explorers in recent memory to whom we owe the honor of breaking through the barrier of the Saturn Beings to the I AM forces of immortality, Rudolf Steiner. Oh (Jupiter Vowel), and think not for one second that because we pay homage to Rudolf Steiner that he walked away untouched and unscathed by his encounter with the Saturn Beings. In fact, we are going to connect to something which I mentioned in part ONE. Everyone, without exception, meets the Saturn Beings and the term Shattering Experiences, Life Altering Experiences are not used lightly when describing THIS IS YOUR DEED; THIS IS YOUR KARMA; THIS IS WHAT YOU IMPRINTED INTO THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD. Eurythmy, Speech and Word studies part ONE (See Link)
Education and Public Initiation and giving humanity the forces that strengthen and set into motion the new Etheric nature forces in Agriculture, in Speech, in each Consonant and Vowel and setting the laws of humanity that were lost, towards the good again, with the Science of Reincarnation and Karma, restoring the Greek and Human model of Truth Beauty Goodness through Art Science Religion, required a Human Being to go out beyond the shattering reefs and debris fields of the SINS OF OMISSION that are part of the Saturn Beings.

Part of the debris field that surrounds any individual who attempts, unconsciously, to scale the Walls where Saturn stands ominously reflecting the consequences of each of us, well, put it this way, most of us cannot even glimpse the magnitude of the I AM once it passes through the karmic necessities of Saturn.

Before we examine Rudolf Steiner and his ongoing encounter with the Saturn Beings let us briefly examine the title and the outline of something we are all familiar with. Les Misrables by Victor Hugo reveals the relentlessness of Saturn and a Saturn destiny where from

115

a lowly crust of bread, from a mere symbol of bread this is my body, this is my blood when we break bread together and learn the true meaning of THE BREAD OF LIFE, we have been crushed into humility. Meal Blessing by Bradford Riley

Bread of Body, Soul and Spirit Earth and Sun and Planet Powers. Change this substance as We share it Let Christs Will flow into ours.
The Saturn signature of the Saturn Beings and how Saturn itself prints itself into the karma of humanity and into the karma of individuals who have had a unique relationship with the Saturn

116

Beings revolves in Les Misrables, by Victor Hugo, around the relentlessness of Inspector Javert in pursuit of a man who once broke a window and stole bread from a bakery

and spent some 19 years in prison, the criminal Jean Valjean. It is not insignificant in our studies to note that Jean Valjean spent 19 years (see link) doing hard labor amongst hardened criminals and admits losing his humanity and becoming lower than human. The Back Story of how Victor Hugo understood the imperfections and flaws in our human nature, that we all have and that are imprinted into the imperfection of our karma and recorded by the Saturn Beings, brings us to something in our deep down etheric patterns of behavior that fundamentally wounds the very foundations of our being. Out in the loneliest outpost of ancient Initiation Centers, long before Victor Hugo, his I AM, became Victor Hugo, he had set himself the task to isolate himself from the throngs of humanity, enter the discipline of an initiation cloister in the wayward lonely isles of Hibernia. This is the back story of penetrating Saturn Beings from the lonely, cold outpost, once set out in the vast isolated isles of Ireland and Scotland and in an extreme penetration, of inwardness, that certainly our externalized and trivial culture of the 21st century have been programmed from birth to never endure, happened to the I AM of Victor Hugo. Out there in the ancient isles of Hibernia, before Victor Hugo became Victor Hugo, he stood shattered, crushed, before the mystery of how our

117

deeds, our thoughts, our acts, our karma, every Jot and Tittle becomes impressed into the unforgiving, fixed laws of eternity, of the ether memory of the ancient Saturn Beings.

Rudolf Steiner (See Link)

Now there is a personality upon whom the Initiation rites and ceremonies of the Hibernian Mysteries had made a profound impression; they had a deep effect upon his inner life and his experiences were of such intensity that he forgot the Earth altogether. Then, after this personality had lived through an incarnation as a woman, when the impulses of earlier Initiation showed themselves merely in the general disposition of the soul, he came to the Earth again as an important figure in the 19th century. He had lived out the consequences of his karma in the Saturn-sphere the sphere where one lives among Beings who, fundamentally speaking, have no present. It is a shattering experience to look with clairvoyant vision into the Saturn-sphere, where Beings live who have no present but only look back on their past. Whatever they do is done unconsciously; any action of theirs comes to consciousness only when it has happened and is inscribed into the world karma. Acquaintance with these Beings who draw their past after them like a spiritual comets tail, has a shattering effect. The personality of whom I am speaking, who had at one time been initiated and had thus transcended earthly existence in a certain sense, bore his soul to these Beings who take no part in the present, and elaborated his karma among them. It was as if everything that had been experienced hitherto in an Initiate-existence now illumined with majestic splendor all the past earthly lives. This past was brought to fruition by what had been experienced through the Hibernian Initiation. When this personality appeared again on Earth in the 19th century he had now, by contrast, to unfold impulses for the future. And when, on descending from the Saturn-sphere, this soul, with its gaze into the past illumined by the light of Initiation, arrived on Earth, it presented this contrast: a firm foothold on the Earth while gazing into the future and giving expression to far reaching ideas, impulses and perceptions. This Hibernian Initiate became Victor Hugo [Note 2]. We can assess a man rightly only when we also perceive the development he underwent between death and a new birth. His moral, religious and ethical qualities then become evident to us. A personality certainly does not become poorer but on the contrary, very much richer, when viewed with the eyes of spirit.

The conflict in Victor Hugos Les Misrables is on one hand a shattering demonstration of the relentlessness of Saturn Karma and how our human spirits learn to unlock the deadly stranglehold that Chronos, the ancient Time Spirits, the Saturn Beings themselves, stand before the guardians of the universe and record every human error with the relentlessness of Inspector Javert. These are the facts of the Saturn Beings and there is only one way to resolve the shattering experience of what we ARE against what we SHALL BE in the perfection of time. Jean

118

Valjean constantly is reminded of what he was when he sank below the animal in prison and what he is capable of Becoming. Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens and Rudolf Steiner are on record with meeting and unlocking the ONLY riddle that will ever get us beyond the Saturn Beings crushing, accurate, immoveable decree locked into the eternal records of the Saturn Beings. The answer to the riddle of the Saturn Beings requires, not if, or maybe, or cant I bargain? Use my popularity, reputation, lie, cheat or finagle my way out of their reach, rather it has everything, literally everything to do with our understanding the secrets of the Vowels and THE WESTERN COSMOLOGY OF THE STARS.
Ptolemys Geography, a work compiled about the year 150, gives a description of Britain and Hibernia; and if it could be trusted as an authority upon the subject at issue, it would at once settle the matter in favor of Ireland being the Hibernia of the ancients. The Flaming Door, first published in 1936, is a classic work that reveals the secrets of initiation embedded in many Celtic myths. Eleanor C Merry unearths the secrets that are to be found slumbering in the sagas and legends of ancient Hibernia and Wales Eleanor C. Merry says: Certainly an immense paradox was concealed in the symbolic presentation of the male and female statues in the Hibernian initiation; the paradox that though what appears in feminine form in the world is passive, yet the supersensible nature that lies behind it is active. On the other hand, what appears in masculine form presents outwardly the active principle, and inwardly the passive one. One must receive, the other give. But the aspect that is revealed on the physical plane is reversed on the spiritual plane. In greater or lesser degree this paradox is always present in the sexes. Every man has the woman within him; every woman the man. This is well known. But it is also a fundamental principle of world-evolution, giving rise to a kind of cosmic conflict which urges evolution onwards towards its fulfillment. The fulfillment consists in the harmonizing of these male-female principles. We find them in nations, in epochs of civilization, as in individuals sometimes the spiritually active (feminine) and sometimes the spiritually passive (masculine) predominates. The physical masculine element, which is that of Becoming in the evolution of man on Earth, must gradually absorb more and more of the cosmic feminine, the active spiritual principle.

Anyone who studies the Celtic legends and traditions which are linked with the early centuries of the Christian era, will be impressed by the atmosphere of beauty that pervades them. Mingled with the fragments of an ancient Druid culture and wisdom there is the childlike purity and ecstasy of a Christianity quite unlike that which is to be found later. It is enclosed like a delicate seed within the old and dying splendor of the Great Mystery Centers of Ireland; it is a Christianity that, in its pristine purity is no longer to be found on the surface of civilization. It is still hidden in the hearts of a few, and in solitary places. More than any other writer Fiona Macleod was its apostle; and he longed for its true history to be made

119

known through the story of (SEE LINK) Iona: What a book it will be! It will reveal to us the secret of what Oisin sang, what Merlin knew, what Columba dreamed, what Adamnan hoped: what this little lamp of Christ was to pagan Europe; what incense of testimony it flung upon the winds; what saints and heroes went out of it; how the dust of kings and princes were brought there to mingle with its sands; how the noble and the ignoble came to it across long seas and preilous countries.And how, slowly, a long sleep fell upon the island, and only the grasses shaken in the wind, and the wind itself, and the broken shadows of dreams in the minds of the old, held the secret of Iona. The foundations of Celtic Christianity had a peculiar and deeply esoteric quality.

In Rudolf Steiners case, in Victor Hugos case and with Marleys Ghost it is the case, in all of us, and anyone who finally passes through the threshing floor of the gods, it is humility itself before the awe and supreme majesty of the cosmos we inhabit that allows the Bread of Life to come into Being.

A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens

`I wear the chain I forged in life, replied the Ghost. `I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?

`Oh! captive, bound, and double-ironed, cried the phantom, `not to know, that ages of incessant labour, by immortal creatures, for this earth must pass into eternity before the good of which it is susceptible is all developed. Not to know that any Christian spirit working kindly in its little sphere, whatever it may be, will find its mortal life too short for its vast means of usefulness. {SATURN SINS OF OMISSION} Not to know that no space of regret can make amends for one lifes opportunity misused! Yet such was I! Oh! such was I!

`But you were always a good man of business, Jacob, faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself.

`Business! cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. `Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of

120

my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!

It held up its chain at arms length, as if that were the cause of all its unavailing grief, and flung it heavily upon the ground again.

`At this time of the rolling year, the specter said `I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode! Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me!

121

There are shattering moments of human catharsis that drill down to the very root of human destiny and reality. Something of this nature passed through Charles Dickens. Something of this nature passed through Victor Hugo. These Saturn Truths rock the foundations of the soul and spirit. We do not get by Saturn Beings with a lite, I gave at the office. Ou r deeds and our karma are fixed and transparent and the Saturn Beings are unimpressed with our trivial slop bucket of superficial and mediocre excuses. To become the Bread of Life and carry the imponderable weight of humility allows the I AM to unlock the doors of Saturn and venture forth into the Company of the Gods themselves. To chart the course to lift humanity to become the Mediator for the Hierarchies, Christ had to restore the entire Template of how the human I AM masters his residency in Heaven and Earth. In other words, from within the structure of our human being, from our Etheric, Astral, and our Immortal I AM, the I AM of the Christ, restored the most intimate instrument of HUMAN COSMOLOGY, that allows all of us the potential of regaining contact with the Beings of the Planets and Divine structure and Beings that stand behind the Constellations. We are the living mediator with all the planetary forces coursing through us and we utter the mystery of each planet in the Vowels that make us alive and Word Bearers of the Constellations and the Planets. But Christ followed the law of Immortality and the Cosmic I AM, which meant that in order to open the pathways to the heavens HE had to experience the full effects of the most crushing blow the regents of Saturn yoke humanity with. He made no excuses. To open humanity to the Kingdoms that created and rule the starry heavens and weave with wonder in the Soul and WORD of human beings, Christ volunteered to unlock the mystery of the Saturn Beings Themselves. Because Christ is greater than all the planetary Lords.

122

He is the Inner Sun of the Spirit that lights the Human I. Through such a shattering sacrifice of a sinless, karma less Divine Being, the I AM of humanity are allowed, through the highest sanctions of our planetary community, to return and walk with HIM in the starry house of the gods.

123

To meet the Saturn Mysteries and the Saturn Beings directly and conquer Ahriman and conquer death, Christ volunteered to imprint the force of Cosmic and Human Love into the history, memory and deeds of Earth herself. With that deed humanity gained access to the realms beyond Saturn and were able to consult and meet the Saturn Beings and listen and review the History of the Cosmos so that humanity would understand completely that there was no such thing as THE BIG BANG! Christ offered Himself so that humanity could fully comprehend itself. There was just one hitch.

23But

he turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to

me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.

I tell you, there are some

The math of every human encounter with the Saturn Beings are very clearly imprinted into every human destiny. There is no compromise, no escape from the math because every human being must encounter each and every planetary threshold. That is the majesty and mystery of our task as

124

humanity. We are the living Hieroglyph and the Living Seal of the Cosmology of the Heavens. We are the walking sublime integration and cohesion of all the planetary mysteries.

Human Beings are the Living Seal of the Cosmology of the Heavens

125

I hold the SUN in my I As King he leads me aloft from earth to sky.

126

The MOON in my being lives; She to my form sustaining forces gives. In me are MERCURYS forces; He holds the Sun and Moon like a pair of horses. In me doth VENUS dwell; Without Her love I am only a hollow shell. She unites Herself with MARS, Who speaks my being in words that stem from stars. That JUPITER shining bright Illumine all my being with wisdoms light. And SATURN, ancient of days, Strengthen my beings colors with warming rays. These are the SEVEN from heaven I am the SEVEN in ONE. I am the earthly SEVEN. I am the SUN.
We are stamped by the Moon every 19 years in our biographies, where we encounter a job performance review with our Angels every 19 years through out our entire biographies (see link). We meet the Saturn Beings every 29 1/2 years in our biographies. No we pay no attention, we take no interest, we have left out of our education the living reality that we are, each and everyone of us, the Walking Mystery of the Planetary system. Every 29 1/2 years, there is no escape, Saturn comes rolling around, Saturn returns to where it first released us from the heavens every 29 1/2 years. We are stamped at birth with the precise position that Saturn was in when we were

127

born.

That same

position that Saturn held at our births, comes around precisely every 29 1/2 years and consults with us. At that point, without exception, we get a message from Saturn. The math is called Biography. We just fail to even consider the enormity of the power of the planets themselves as part of the intimate gateways and doorways through which we, as human beings, we are STAMPED, SEALED by the planets, imprinted by them, with tonal and specific spiritual gateways that are WITHOUT EXCEPTION, part of every human biography. Our study of Christianity and Jesus and His destiny is so marred by distortions that when it came to recognizing Saturns 29 1/2 year impact on Jesus, we have 98% of the world imagining that Christ was born as a baby in a stable. He was not! Christ only appeared at the Baptism and entered the Nathan Jesus Manhood at 29 1/2 years. At 29 1/2 years the Super Human Being of the Christ entered Jesus. The tragic moment of transition and celebration, was the moment where the supreme sacrifice of Zarathustra/Jesus leaves the GREAT WORK of creating a vessel worthy of the Christ Being, and exits,

128

letting Christ Enter.

Christ

Enteredat the Baptism, at the Saturn Being encounter point when we reach the gates of Saturn at 29 1/2 years. The time in years it took Zarathustra/Jesus to establish a NEW WESTERN COSMOLOGY in the restored human being of the Nathan Jesus. Once again our lack of understanding of the TWO JESUS CHILDREN collides with our lack of cognition. We owe Zarathustra the astonishing debt for restoring the entire Inner Western Cosmology and TEMPLE that is our human form, physical, etheric, astral and I AM sheaths, for Christ to Enter at the Baptism at 29 1/2 years. (CLICK LINK)
In the thirtieth year of Jesus of Nazareth, that Being whom we have called the Christ took possession of his physical, etheric, and astral bodies. This Christ Being could not incarnate in an ordinary childs body, but only in one which had first been prepared by a highly developed ego, for this Christ-Being had never before been incarnated in a physical body. Therefore from the thirtieth year on, we are dealing with the Christ in Jesus of Nazareth. (SEE LINK)

Finally those ancient Saturn Beings, those stubborn, stern task masters of concrete facts, smiled as Christ entered the Temple that Zarathustra had prepared. That Temple is the reality of what the Human Being is, as the Bread of Life (CLICK LINK) and the riddle and reality of the cohesion of the entire planetary system. The human being is the key to the mystery of Western Cosmology. It is tiny, little and nearly insignificant to people that the VOWELS, are our own very rainbow of moods, that we utter effortlessly, constantly, instinctively, universally, all mean the same in every Language that is spoken on Earth. We are all portions and measures of the Planets themselves when we speak, gasp, sigh, groan, moan or shiver in our souls with the touch of UH. The Inner Cosmology of the Planetary System, where we have stalled in our understanding of a True Western Cosmology, shouts at us from our biographies, our Vowels, Consonants and our journeys after death into the bosom and heart of the Planetary Beings.

Our higher families in the Heavens of the Devachan worlds, where we are the Humans, the synthesis

130

of the Planets and the Home where Christ chose to settle the differences of the Heavens, He gave to Humanity the enormous task of harmonizing the Solar System and our cousins in the Planets from the vast wealth of our souls and spirits. We are Humans, the mediators and Christ Bearers, whose lowly residence and humble home, is Earth. Each of our Ethnic/Etheric soul colors have been stamped by the Planetary Beings before we incarnated and we carry them now in our flesh tones and the various Languages, Etheric and Ethnic locations, where we were born, from where we speak, mingle, cavort and conceive each other in the higher conception of our Spiritual Intuitions. Our Music and Foods reflect the great Soul Colorings that our native regions have stamped onto us. And we are all and each and everyone of us the vast Rainbow Vision Gateways that sound forth in our accents, gestures, and sound flavors and rich pigmentations of Speech and inflections that we carry from our Native Regions. Those are the gifts of the Archangels who hover over each and Every Language Group as the mighty Folk-Soul, of which, we, humble members of the Tenth Hierarchy, are each of us, the Ethnic/Etheric representatives of one of the soaring Archangel families. Embryology is Cosmology (See Link), Biography is Cosmology and filled with planetary Doorways, Gateways, which as adults we should have comprehended to fully understand the unfolding of our children. We could learn a whole new reason for celebrating together where each and every human being crosses from one planetary mystery to another in the stages of our on going biographies. The accuracy of how we follow and read the planets in the heavens is NOT some horoscope of our daily love life. These are decadent, useless and inaccurate. There is only one certified method to know and follow precisely the events that surge through nature, through everything, everybody and EVERYWHERE. Simply order the only reliable day by day functioning Planet and Constellation guide there is. Im certain that Bio-Dynamics have accurate planting Calendars, but for classrooms and

131

human experience as well as Living Functions of the plant world,THE STELLA NATURA CALENDAR

(CLICK LINK) is absolutely reliable.

When you see the forces developing in a spiral in a plant from stipule to stipule, you then have the activity of those forces which work down from the planets. And according as the forces of the offspring of the Spirits of Motion work down from this planet or that planet, does this peculiar line which puts forth the leaves vary. This gives a certain means of studying the actual orbits of the individual planets through their reflection; and when external science has once recognised this fact, it will have to correct a great deal of former astronomical systems. Certain plants are allotted to the forces of the Spirits of Motion who work from Mars, others to those who are on Venus, others to those on Mercury. They work in from the planet and according as they work in from one or the other, they impart to the plant the movement expressed in the coil of their leaves; it is the same movement which the corresponding planet makes; the absolute movement it makes in the heavens.

We should be marking and celebrating the crossing of each phase of our human biographies. We should each be having at least Nine Birthdays and a rich sharing and celebration of each of our

133

recollections. Our children and grand children pass through those same Planetary Portals that each and every individual human passes through. To follow Rudolf Steiner out beyond the region of Saturn and the Saturn Beings we all have to pass through the Jesus Temple of Western Cosmology restored by Zarathustra (SEE LINK), that now shines and fills the Human Spirit with the Risen Etheric Christ Sun. When we follow the trail of Rudolf Steiner out beyond the Saturn Beings we also encounter the stern, inflexibility of the Jot and Tittle law of the crushing lessons of Saturn.

Western Cosmology and Humanity at the Threshold of Saturn Initiation Rudolf Steiner and Humanities Saturn Moment 56-63 Spirit Man (Saturn) Memory
Before we follow a series of 12 pictures that lead us to one of the greatest losses to Western Cosmology for the 20th and 21st Centuries let us stabilize our observations so we know what we are seeing. Crushing, shattering events. We can take either stand point, Ive taken both, how could humanity have chosen to crucify Christ? What were we thinking? Or Without the bitter, but solid laws of Life on Earth, Death could not have been conquered. Initiation and the birth of the Risen Etheric Christ in the realm of humanity could not have been secured without the steadfast courage of the Christ Being. Resurrection and our invitation to cross the threshold and enter the Etheric World where all Life has its links to the ancient Sun Evolution would not have been achieved. The gifts of the Etheric Christ cannot be grasped by sitting in the dogmatic pot hole that worships the Dead Image of Christ the way we worship the Dead Image of the Cosmos. Stephen Hawking is the Poster Boy for the Dead Cosmos.Worshiping Dead Cosmology and the Dead Image of Christ is begging the the Ahrimanic and Luciferic Mafia to come and put cement shoes on us and our children and bury our humanity in the deep oblivion of the sea. And we are succeeding in doing just that. I know what Stephen Hawking represents and I know what Monsanto is trying to do. But let me quickly review the ecstatic joy of the stage of human development that Spiritual Science students arent comprehending clearly enough. Rudolf Steiner was like an ecstatic butterfly of L ight, that had once more reawakened on the shores of history.

134

Rudolf Steiner earned and was given the intensity of darkness to awaken his Spirit-Self capacities. These are underling Angel capacities. Rudolf Steiner tracked, trailed, detailed and retired the Big Bang Theory before it was hatched. The ecstatic joy and enthusiasm of Spirit-Selfhood, translates in real terms as a human being, just exactly like us, talking, laughing, walking, seeing, but fully operating and functioning with both left and right brain systems and the Heart already awakened. The Pineal and Pituitary already tuned and operating at human/Angelic capacity. When we think of Rudolf Steiner we should fully comprehend, with our thinking, if Aristotle ever thought of Heaven, it would have been with all the doors and windows of Earth and the Spiritual World thrown open in a celebration of Human Freedom. Aristotles Heaven would absolutely be, without question, Rudolf Steiners vast Cosmological and Human systems analysis. The two, Aristotles desire to know how everything material on the Earth works, his untiring quest for accurate information is only matched and fulfilled in Rudolf Steiners untiring quest to penetrate to the roots of existence. Rudolf Steiner would be Aristotles Heaven. The transformation from Aristotle to Rudolf Steiner is truly to grasp how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. In the attainment of Spirit-Selfhood by Rudolf Steiner we have the opportunity to examine the ecstasy of disciplined cognition as the human being is set-free to be a butterfly that lives for light, the love and the freedom that is the nectar of the gods. Go, Do, be the reader of the Moral and Magnificent Creation and think with Angel insight and Intuition into all realms. Spirit-Self, we cant say enough about this capacity standing there, staring us in the face in a human being like us.

From Eurythmy, Speech, The Word and the study of Etheric Phytology (part one)
You must take this in the strictest sense of the words: Folk-spirits are Archangels, they are Spirits who have finished the transforming of their astral bodies into Spirit-self or Manas, and are now transforming their etheric body or life-body into Life-spirit. Just halfway between these Beings and man are the Angels. These are Beings who are occupied inremodeling their astral body into Spirit-self or Manas, but have not yet concluded their work. At the present time man is at the beginning of this work, the Angels are nearly at the end of it, but have in no wise finished it.

135

How do you get to do that? Well look, Parsifal arrived at the beginning of this state of Spirit-Self hood. And by tracking the Son of the Widow we know that this stage of development is not so easy to attain. Parsifal did it. How did Parsifal do it? Well, frankly, because at one moment Schionatulander was killed in Parsifals place. Some say near to the location where the Goetheanum is today. Tragedy is not easy but Saturn is curious about these things. Parsifal intersects with the suffering Fisher King, who has been waiting in perpetual agony from the WOUND of Amfortas which Saturn

136

excruciates as a terrible reminder of our human weaknesses and a terrible reminder that a Grail successor has not been found. Harvesting Spirit-Self human Angels from the crop of humanity isnt easy. Saturn never lets us forget it.

Secrets of Western Cosmology (CLICK LINK)

What sort of time was it, then, when Parsifal entered the Grail Castle, still ignorant, not ready to ask questions according to the later tradition taken up by Wolfram von Eschenbach? What sort of time was it when Parsifal entered the Castle, where Amfortas lay wounded and on Parsifals arrival suffered unceasing pain from his wound? What was this time? The saga itself tells us it was a Saturn time. [i.e., a period when the forces of Saturn work with particular strength.] Saturn and the Sun stood together in Cancer, approaching culmination. So we see how in the most intimate effects a connection between the Earth and the Stars is established. It was a Saturn time! Worldly concerns, such as were pursued at the court of King Arthur, [See Cosmic Christianity and the

Impulse of Michael, lectures III and VI. Given by Dr. Steiner in Torquay and London, August 1924.] could
be approached with earthly forces, but it was not permitted to approach the concerns of the Holy Grail in this way, as Amfortas had found. Anyone who attempted it was bound to suffer pain. And since the working of the stars had been permeated by the Christ, a man had to be found who had remained untouched by the controversies in the external world, and through his karma stood at a point where his soul could be approached by Christ; a man, too, who was related to the forces indicated by the symbol of the Saturn time, with Saturn and the Sun standing together in the sign of Cancer. So it was that Parsifal, in whom the Christ Impulse was still working unconsciously, in the depths of his soul, comes with the power of Saturn; and the wound bums as it had never burnt before.

We may weigh and continue to weigh for ourselves the gifts burgeoning forth from a human being, before our very eyes, who is now in the 7th Heaven of Aristotles driving urge to KNOW. Apollo and Apollonian Sun forces to KNOW and KNOW THYSELF, the Spirit-Self of actual human Angel Hood gets to be earned. Humanity will tread the path to earn the rights to advance to Spirit-Selfhood. Is it hidden in some obscure legend buried in the fog of history? No, it is right out in the open, in the 20th century it was there for us to witness day in and day out in Rudolf Steiner. We take note of the scaffolding of the science of education. The secrets of Agriculture and the redemption of the Earth. Eurythmy, the resurrection of the Etheric forces latent in the WORD. The extinguishing of the very foolishness of THE BIG BANG theory, by going to meet the Saturn Beings and being shown the history of Time, Space and the Human Riddle. But why do we appease ourselves and settle for less than The Living Cosmology of Humanity?

137

I can remember, in studying Occult Science, this journey of the loneliest human being ever recorded, ever. It stands like this. To journey back into the memory of the creation of humanity, the I AM, us, to come to a place where prior to this point in the untold drama of the backward revelation of our I AM on Earth, our Astral Bodies on the Old Moon, our Etheric Bodies on old Sun and the prototype of the first model of our physical, skeletal, well actually hexagonal structural system going all the way back to Old ancient Saturn, finally the trail stops. One Step Beyond this point and WE as humanity dont exist, no record, hint or wisp of an echo exist, no trace. In other words the Memory forces of the Ancient Teachers and Beings of Saturn and the Memory of the Making of Humanity, our very existence can only go back to a certain point. This precipice is where Rudolf Steiner stood. He cognitively stood there. To date, Steiners testimony and eye witness account is the most profound record of any traveler ever recorded on Earth. Steiners testimony beats the distance record so far of Voyager 1 (SEE LINK) the longest link we have to the furthest exploration of the Cosmos. Rudolf Steiner stood at the vast cosmic precipice, where beyond that point, the I AM, the absolute ANYTHING of Human that we rely on to identify ourselves as humanity, doesnt exist. I remember being startled that this human being journeyed back to the very Precipice, beyond which, not a scrap or trace of humanity exists. Steiner humbly and briefly described it. But what do we care? Our fall back is who cares to believe that nut-ball, that there absolutely is no possible way our universe rests on a disorganized Big Bang (Misleading Science of the Big Bang CLICK LINK). It is an insult to Aristotle, but our sloppy thinking merely flounders and then trivializes the magnificent grandeur of Human Initiation Science. I was correctly and healthily awed. Why make the effort to put Western Cosmology into perspective, understand the magnificent Vowel of UH and take a spin on the dance floor with the Saturn Mysteries? Steiner made it clear, simple and discreet for us to comprehend. Standing at the precipice at the very beginning where humanity was made wasnt a comfortable perch to stand upon at the end of the universe. Such experiences are only faintly, ridiculously and sometimes humorously reflected in (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe CLICK LINK) OR Stanley Kubricks 5 star Hotel Suite (CLICK LINK), astronaut and mystical retirement residency, in the halls of memory at the end of 2001 a Space Odyssey. Dont imagine that it isnt wonderful to have a sense of humor. We need that sense of humor. But there is literally no conception, no possibility of describing standing, in all reality at the precipice,

138

where merely one step, one tick further backward, all evidence of humanity and our grand excursion through Time vanishes. The claustrophobia clenches at the literal UH , the primal UH where all familiarity of our former understanding of humanity STOPS. President Harry Truman used to say THE BUCK STOPS HERE, but truly our infantile imaginations and the Big Bang lunacy has nothing on the Eye witness account, from first-hand cognition, which took us to the very brink of the beginning of the Science and Cosmology we call Humanity. So Spirit-Selfhood linked with astonishing capacities of an I AM whose quest for the accuracy of wisdom and knowing, we have correctly branded as Aristotelian gives ample opportunity for us to deny either Lazarus or Rudolf Steiners metamorphosis.This graduation into Spirt -Self conscious butterfly/Angel status becomes wrought and wrung clearly from every fiber of word and thought delivered on the human breath stream as Rudolf Steiners living and loving gift compliments of the Christ Event. That which Freedom of the Spirit bestows and the graduation of humanity to new stages, has as recently as the 20th century stood before us. And we remain tepid. The ecstatic new capacities of Angelhood in human Consciousness with all the crisp framework of the laws of Love as the very food of Freedom and Light awakens in a growing dismal and dark period of human history.

139

That, I suppose, is not new to us. The gifts flourished, jubilation of the Soul and Spirit let the flood gates open and much was bestowed, freely, generously and with the understanding that we will be mature enough to appreciate the tools placed at our disposal. The darkness, that as St. John fully understood, comprehended it not, still lingers in all our education and all our theories and all our narrow minded religious dogmas. Im not in the least exaggerating, as you well know. It comes down to the unfathomable debt we owe the Christ first of all and the Cosmos itself for initiating plan 10 for the creation of the TENTH HIERARCHY. There is plenty to tell regarding the history of the Karma of such a Person of Interest who has stood before us as Aristotles higher Self.

Sharing the Leadership and Trials of ESOTERIC AND EXOTERIC Christianity (Click Link)
But I did say I would examine for a moment an extreme riddle which explains a great deal. The Celtic Folk-Spirit relinquishes the Celtic Folk-Soul and elected by Christ, a human being is chosen to represent ESOTERIC Christianity. The Greek Folk-Spirit sacrifices the entire Folk-Spirit role and elects to lift a human representative to serve as the EXOTERIC guide for Christianity.

140

Many of us have a fondness for the memory of Celtic history and traditions. So we are astonished to see the Resurrection of the Spirit of Celtic mythology casting its most powerful rays back into humanity through Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings saga and Peter Jackson the director of the film, that were all inspired by and hovered over by the vision and Resurrection forces that once filled the Celtic Folk-Spirit.
At a definite moment of time which coincided approximately with the descent of Christ upon Earth, the Greek Time Spirit renounced for our present epoch the possibility of rising into the Hierarchy of the Spirits of Form and became the guiding Time Spirit who then works on through the successive epochs. He became the representative guiding Spirit of exoteric Christianity, so that the Archai-being himself, the guiding Spirit of the Greeks, himself formed the vanguard of the Christ Impulse. In consequence, ancient Greece rapidly declined at the time of the expansion of Christianity because it had surrendered its guiding Time Spirit in order that he might become the leader of exoteric Christianity. The Greek Time Spirit then became the missionary, the inspirer or rather the intuiting Spirit of the expanding exoteric Christianity.

The peoples belonging to the Celtic Folk Spirit also inhabited an area extending far into the North East of Europe. They were guided by an important Archangel who, soon after the Christian impulse had been bestowed on mankind, had renounced the possibility of becoming an Archai-being, a Spirit of Personality and elected to remain at the Archangel stage and to subordinate himself in future to the different Time Spirits who might arise in Europe. Hence the Celtic peoples also declined as a united people because their Archangel had made a special act of renunciation and had undertaken a special mission.

This is a typical example of how, in such a case, an act of renunciation helps to initiate particular missions. Now what became of the Archangel of the Celtic peoples after he had renounced the possibility of becoming a Spirit of Personality? He became the inspirer of esoteric Christianity. All the underlying teachings and impulses of esoteric Christianity, especially of the real, true esoteric Christianity, have their source in his inspirations. The hidden sanctuary for those who were initiated into these Mysteries was situated in Western Europe and there the spiritual impulse was imparted by this guiding Spirit who had originally undergone an important training as Archangel of the Celtic people, had renounced his promotion to a higher rank and had undertaken another mission that of becoming the inspirer of esoteric Christianity which was destined to live on further in the Mysteries of the Holy Grail, in Rosicrucianism.

We may stand in awe and UH as we are witnesses to an Initiate, a graduate to Spirit-Selfhood, shattered by the destruction of a Living Testimony to Western Cosmology and the Human Word. We know that Rudolf Steiner gasped. Saturn had something to convey. Steiner was saddened, filled with a sorrow and he confessed wasnt for himself, but that for thousands upon thousands of seekers in the future from the West, seeking the living cohesion of Western Cosmology, they wouldnt touch it or hear it resound from the fulfillment of the Mystery of THE HOUSE OF THE COSMIC AND HUMAN WORD (SEE LINK). To touch, see, calculate, measure, hear, livingly carry treasures back to every university in the west, to have known, walked through and met the cupola, the columns, the tones and the science of Sound and the Human and Cosmic reality of the Word, had been ripped away from the grasp of the West. In Part One of this study of the Vowel and Consonants we were advised to review Ren Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz (1887 1961) study of the Egyptian Temple. To put Egypt Rudolf

148

Steiner the 1st Goetheanum and the mighty 20th and 21st century manifestation of the Exoteric Christ Mysteries into the framework of Initiation Science and the 1st Goetheanum. I highly recommend reviewing this link carefully. (SEE LINK) Rudolf Steiner had to follow the trail of Zarathustra and Victor Hugo in order to unravel the riddles that keep humanity a prisoner within the a Dead mathematical-gravitational Planetary System. Our freedom to explore the planets requires us to rivet our attention on the human being, every human being and the specific human examples of those that have opened the doorways to the solid foundations of Inner, Living WESTERN COSMOLOGY can be studied in depth through this link (CLICK LINK). It reveals the precise connections that Ren Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz (1887 1961) researched, (in the paragraph above this one) that was recommended in Part One to understand the mystery basis of the Egyptian Temple in relation to the 1st Goetheanum. The only way to enter and exit the Planetary System and become explorers and witnesses for cohesive Western Cosmology is by discovering the doorways, the keys and locks that take us to the Devachan gateways of the Planetary Mysteries. Here we meet with the alien beings we have longed to discover in close proximity to us. And the Saturn Beings who live by the fixed Memory of the Cosmos, looking back instead of forwards, are truly fixed as guardians of human endeavor. Those gates and doorways to the Inner Planetary Mysteries requires a real education, not the tattered rags and flimsy materialism that we currently worship. It requires us to reevaluate the Mystery Temple of the Human Form and the Human Being and in that reexamination, we can without question, locate the doorways and meet some of the Beings of the Planetary Community that are indeed alien to our mode of perception.

Freedom breaking immutability; Victor Hugo April 26, 1857

VISION FROM WHICH THIS BOOK AROSE (see link ) by Victor Hugo

150

I had a dream: The wall of the centuries appeared to

me.

It was of living flesh and unpolished granite. An immobility made of uneasiness, A building with the noise of crowds, Black holes starred with wild eyes, Evolutions of monstrous groups, Vast bas-reliefs, colossal frescoes; Sometimes the wall opened, allowing rooms to be seen, Caverns where the blessed were seated, and the powerful.

151

Conquerors besotted with crime, drunk in incense, Interiors of gold, jasper, porphyry; And this wall trembled like a tree in the west wind. All the centuries, their brows bound with towers or ears of grain, Were there, sad sphinxes crouching on the enigma: Each tier seemed vaguely alive; It rose into the shadow, like an army Petrified with its leader At the moment it dared scale the Night; A block, it floated like a rolling cloud; It was a great wall and it was a crowd; Marble had a scepter and a blade in its fist, The dust wept and the clay bled, The stones that fell had a human form. All humanity, with the unknown breath that leads it. Undulating Eve, Adam floating one and different, Throbbed against this wall and being and the universe, And destiny, the black thread that the tomb unwinds. Sometimes lightening suddenly shone Millions of faces on the livid wall. I saw there this Nothing we call the All; Kings, gods, glory and the law, the passing Of generations downstream through the ages; And before my gaze extended endless Scourges, sufferings, ignorance, hunger, Superstition, knowledge history Like a black facade disappearing from sight. And this wall composed of all that crumbles Rose up, steep-sloped sad, formless. Where? I do not know. In some place of shadows. There are no mists, as there are no algebras, That can resist, in depths of numbers or of heavens, The calm, deep fixity of the eyes; I observed this wall, at first confused and vague. Whose form floated wave-like, Where all seemed fog, vertigo, illusion; And beneath my thoughtful eye, the strange vision Became less foggy and more clear in proportion As my pupil grew less trouble and more sure. Chaos of beings, rising from the chasm to the firmament, All the monsters, each in his compartment, The centuries heartless, hideous, unclean. Fog and reality! Cloud and map of the world!

152

This dream was history with open doors. All peoples were there, having for platforms, all time; All the temples, with dreams for steps; Here the paladins, there the patriarchs; Dodona whispering low to Membra; And Thebes and Raphidim, and its sacred rock. Where Aaron and Hur raised the two hands of

Moses On the Jews struggling for the promised land; Amos chariot of fire amid the hurricanes; All these men, half princes, half brigands, Transformed by fable with grace or anger, Drowned in the shelves of popular tales, Archangels, half-gods, hunters of men, heroes Of the Edda, the Vedas, the Romanceros; Those whose sensuality stands up like a lance-head; Those before whom the earth and the darkness are silent; Saul, David, and Delphi, and the Cave of Endor Whose flames are extinguished with scissors of gold; Nimrod among the dead; Booz among the sheaves;

153

Divine Tiberiuses, great and proud, gathered together, Displaying at Capri, in the forum, in camps, Necklaces that Tacitus arranged in yokes; The golden chain of the throne ending in prison. This vast wall had slopes like a mountain. O night! nothing was lacking this apparition. All was there, matter, spirit, mud and light; All the cities, Thebes, Athens, the stages of Romes on the heaps of Tyres and Carthages; All the rivers, the Scheldt, the Rhine, the Nile, the Aar, The Rubicon, saying to someone who is Caesar, If you are still citizens, you are so Only up to here. The hills rose up, black skeletons, And on these hills horrible clouds wandered, Phantoms dragging the moon amongst them. The wall seemed to be shaken by the wind; It was a crossing of flames and clouds, Of mysterious games of clarity, of shadows Sent back from century to century and from scepter to shield, Where India ends up being Germany, Where Solomon is reflected in Charlemagne; The whole human wonder, black, vague, unlimited; Freedom breaking immutability; Horeb with the burnt hillsides, Pinda with the green slopes, Hicetas preceding Newton, discoveries Shaking their torch to the bottom of the sea, Jason on the dromon, Fulton on the streamer; The Marseillaise, Aeschylus, and the angel after the ghost; Capaneus standing on the gate of Elektra; Bonnaparte standing on the bridge of Lodi; Christ dying near where Nero is applauded. Here is the fearful way of the throne, this paving Of murder, fury, war, slavery; Herd-Humanity! howling Committing crimes on dreary and gloomy peak, Striking, blaspheming, suffering. Alas! I hear, beneath my feet, in the abyss, Misery sobbing with dull groans, Of dark incurable mouth, ever complaining And on the mournful vision, and on myself, Whom I saw at the bottom of a tarnished mirror, Immense life opened its misshapen branches;

154

I contemplated the irons, the sensual delights, the

155

evils,

156

The dead, the avatars, the metempsychoses, And in the darkness hewn from beings and things, I watched Satan prowl, this poacher in the forests of God, Black, laughing, his eye on fire. What titan painted this unheard-of thing? On the bottomless wall of the spreading shadow Who sculpted the dream that was suffocating me? What arm constructed with all the forfeits, All the mourning, tears, and horrors, This vast chain of living gloom? This dream, I trembled from it, was a dark deed Between creation and humanity; Cries gushed forth from below the pillars; Arms rising from the walls raised their fists to the stars; The flesh was Gomorrah and the soul was Sion. Vast thought! It was the confrontation Of what we were with what we are; Beasts, by divine right, mingled with humans, As in a hell, or in a paradise; Crimes raged there, enlarged by their shadows, And even the ugliness was not unbecoming To the tragic horror of these giant frescoes. And I saw there the ancient forgotten time. I plumbed it. Good was connected with evil As vertebra is joined to vertebra. This wall, a block of funebrial darkness, Rose into the infinite one misty morning. Whitening by degrees on the distant horizon, This somber vision, dark abridgement of the world, Would disappear in an immeasurable dawn, And, begun at night, would finish in glimmering light. Sad day seemed there like pale sweat; And this shapeless silhouette was veiled With a misty spiral of starred smoke. While I dreamed, my eye fixed on this wall Sown with souls, covered with a darkened movement And the wild gestures of a ghostly people. A rumor passed beneath the murky domes. I heard two deep noises, coming from the sky In the opposite direction to the depth of eternal silence; The firmament that none can open or close Seemed about to part.

157

From the direction of dawn Passed the spirit of Orestes, with musky sound; And at the same time, from the direction of night, Frighted black genius fleeing in an eclipse, Fearful came the immense Apocalypse; And their double thunder thrugh the mist Approached on my right and on my left; and I was afraid As if taken between chariots of shadow. They passed. There was a dark agitation. The first spirit cried: Fate! The second cried: God! And dark eternity Repeated these cries in funereal echo. This terrifying passage shook the shadows; Everything tottered at the noise they made; the wall, Full of shadows, shuddered; everything took part; the king Put his hand on his helmet, the idol his on his miter; The whole vision trembled like a pane of glass, And broke, falling into the night in pieces; And when the two spirits, like two great birds, Were fled, in the strange fog of the idea, The pale vision reappeared full of cracks, Like a ruined temple with gigantic shafts, That let one see the abyss between its crazy quilt of walls. When I saw it again, after the two angels Had broken it by the shock of their strange wings, There was no longer this prodigious wall, entire, Where fate coupled with infinity, Where all times gathered together joined with ours, Where the centuries could question one another, Without one making a mistake and failing in the summons; Instead of continent, there was an archipelago; Instead of a universe, there was a cemetery; Here and there a dismal stone rose up, Some standing pillar, no longer bearing anything; All the mutilated centuries were stranded; without a link; Each epoch hung demolished; none Was without a rip, without a hole, And everywhere stagnant shadows and pools of night Rotted on the wreckage of the past. And the mists where my eye fell was only The deformed, tottering debris of a dream,

158

Having the vague appearance of an intermittent

bridge Falling arch, by arch into the waiting abyss. Like a fleet in distress thats floundering; Resembling a dark and interrupted phrase The hurricane, this stutterer wandering on the summits, Always begins without ever finishing. Only the future continued to open On these black vestiges gilded by a pale orient To rise like a star, amidst a cloud Where, without seeing thunder, one felt the presence of God. Out of the deep, heavy impression left

159

By this chaos of life on my gloomy thought, Out of this vision of the movement of humanity This book, where beside yesterday we glimpse tommorrow, Has arisen, reflecting from poem to poem All this ghastly, dizzy clarity. This book is the terrifying remnant of the Tower of Babel , The mournful tower of things, the building Of good and evil, of tears, of mourning, of sacrifice, Once proud, dominating distant horizons, Today possessing only hideous stumps, Scattered, fallen, lost in the dark valley; This is the bitter, immense, broke-down epic of humanity crumbled away. (Guernsey, April 26, 1857)

PART III DRAMATIC ARTS 100 YEARS OF EURYTHMY CLICK LINK TO CONNECT ADDENDUM 1 In a book by the architect Daniel van Bemmelen dealing with the first Goetheanum in relation to other examples of sacred architecture including Solomons Temple, accompanied by numerous illustrations, he shows that one of the intentions expressed in the Goetheanum architecture was to convey an experience of the human head. He provides a cross section of the building which shows that the large cupola corresponded to the cerebrum and the small cupola the cerebellum. The location of the podium would correspond to the location of the pineal gland. The red window in the west could be seen as the forehead of the building. The foundation stone of the building which was fashioned into a double dodecahedron can be related to the human heart.

ADDENDUM 2 Time and the Eagle forces of St. John allows us to carry with us certain fumbled attempts to understand the Saturn Beings. The Steve Miller Band (click link) takes us into Time. Flying like an Eagle and grasping the depth of St. John takes much more effort than this very sweet melody. Most people dont understand that the Eagle arises out of the constellation of Scorpio, out of the death sting of Scorpio. The Bull, Taurus; The Lion, Leo; The Water Carrier, Aquarius AND the Eagle, Scorpio are the sources of the FOUR GOSPELS. St. John is allowed to pass the Saturn Mysteries of Time. ADDENDUM 3

Cloud Atlas Reincarnation and The Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner The weaving essence of the light streams forth Through depths of space to fill the world with life; Loves grace doth warm the centuries of time To call forth revelation of all worlds. Living Imagination that covers six story-lines, spanning five centuries. An enormous Stride forward for Humanity (Click Review of Film Here)
Reincarnation and karma. These two words have grown rapidly more popular in the last 50 years as humanity expands its understanding of the mysteries of the universe. Rudolf Steiner wrote four plays in 19101913 that he called mystery dramas, which are similar to David Mitchells Cloud Atlas. Steiner was a Western seer who founded the now hugely popular international Waldorf education system, as well as the (literally) groundbreaking biodynamic agriculture movement that purports to work in harmony with elemental beings (such as fairies) existing in the etheric dimension. The difference is that Steiner was clairvoyant. (Clairvoyance has been proven scientifically valid.) He was, therefore, able to follow all these actual, existing characters through the so-called Akashic Record in other dimensions and personally witness their various incarnations. In other words, its the real deal. That subject matter is probably not yet ready for prime time. However, were getting close; from the directors who brought us the game changing film The Matrix comes another paradigm shifterthe powerful Cloud Atlas.

Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present, and the future

Thou wilt give humanity the possibility of Dramatic Art! The Nature and Origin of the Arts
A lecture by Rudolf Steiner Berlin, October 28, 1909

164

Moreover, thou wilt be able to compass something that could never be represented by any outward physical event. Thy messengers will be the skalds and the poets of all the ages. They will put into their epics the compact history of human epochs, and thou wilt be able to lend a magic life upon the stage through cinema, film, screenwriting, novels, plays, poetry humanity shall ..behold and hear the things that human creatures all the world over speak about when they have had a dim inner intimation of realities that can be experienced in THE WORLD OF IMAGINATION. Art Itself, in the human soul, hears amid the chorus of human voices the utterances sung by the noblest among us, representing our conjectures about matters upon which we are in no wise informed by IMAGINATION, but which we let pour out of the innermost depths of our souls as a Beacon for Mankind. DRAMATIC ARTS, . hears the voice of the poet who has apprehended the majesty of the experience that can come into the human soul out of THE IMAGINATIVE WORLD. The spirit of DRAMATIC ARTS understands now that she must act as the savior of what upon earth is half frozen knowledge; she understands that she must warm it and permeate it with her own nature, especially with her ART nature, and that she must recount the memories of her dreams during the night to humanities half frozen knowledge. The Spirit of Dramatic Arts observes how that which was half congealed can thaw into life again with the speed of the wind, so soon as knowledge accepts in the form of perception that which is brought to it in the form of revelation.

David Mitchell author Cloud Atlas

I think words operate like musical notes that the eyeball hears. That is at the root of why writers take these micro decisions about maybe and perhaps, which after all mean the same thing. I think its because of this: You get to know the tastes or musical tastes of words themselves, and this informs your choice, whether you use them or not.

Drama and the unveiling of higher capacities developing in humanity can be tracked rigorously and flash points can be highlighted. Cloud Atlas is such a flash -point and Rudolf Steiners Mystery Dramas are a flash-point.Our human intuition and our ability to artistically capture living intuitions and give them a Tenth Hierarchy referral, home, stage, incorporation, and range of reference from our human past, our human present and our human future has infinite possibilities.

Rudolf Steiner In these twelve men who came together to perform a special mission, the twelve different streams in the spiritual
166

development of mankind were represented. The fact that all true religions and all true philosophies belong to twelve basic types is in itself a mystery. Buddhism, Brahmanism, Vedanta philosophy, materialism, or whatever it be all of them can be traced to the twelve basic types; it is only a matter of setting to work with precision and accuracy. And so all the different streams of mans spiritual life

the religions, the philosophies and conceptions of the world spread over the Earth were united in that College of the Twelve.
TWELVE musical meditations are based on the TWELVE tones of the chromatic music scale, and incorporate the pure healing harmonics of harp, Australian didjeridu, voice overtones, and Tibetan bowls, all instruments used by ancient cultures in healing.Each of these TWELVEtones correlate with specific physical conditions, organs of the body, emotional states.

167

The frequency range that one can hear depends upon the size of ones

eardrum.

Those

people with larger eardrums hear lower frequencies than those with smaller eardrums. Those people with smaller eardrums hear higher frequencies than those with larger eardrums. Most men have a lower hearing range while most women have a higher hearing range.

Music was not invented. Music was discovered. It is more than just the human ears recognition of coinciding pulses. It is literally mathematics as sensed by the ear. Music is confined to a series of pitches in the sound range of the human ear. These same pitches exist in the octaves below sound, the octaves between sound and visible light, the octave of visible light, and the octaves above visible light. If frequencies sensed by the pineal gland or any other biological sensing mechanism can affect the hypothalamus, then other octaves such as those of sound and light, working through our ears and eyes, can also affect it. So music was discovered by humankind, probably due to its noted effect upon the emotions.

We want to set the tone of our explorations of Drama and the future of Humanity with several sharp examples. We want to penetrate the region of karmic intuitions attempted with the book and film Cloud Atlas (click link). The future of The Dramatic Arts revolves around the reality and the ability of the Tenth Hierarchy to show how interconnected groups of human beings who have incarnated out of a living spiritual world in order to find each other, fulfill each other, complete each other,

168

carry each other and awaken each other on Earth, how we are all seeking to unfold a new Karmic Organ of perception. Film crews, scripts, grips, costume designers, writers, actors, directors, make-up, stylists, set designers, catering staff, stage-hands, producers, dancers, choreographers, special effects, stunt people, ALL OVER THE WORLD, like gypsies or old pirate crews, all those and many more gather together under contract agreements to unravel a mystery of plot, dynamics, intimate interpretations, performances, discussed and hashed out, scripted, story-boarded, staged, rehearsed, blocked, all these wayward clusters and groups consolidate for brief intense periods, like a Roman Army, like Spartans, up at dawn, till late, late into the evening, they march forward into the realms of IMAGINATION and the laws and design codes of Human Relationships. The unstated mystery of this intense form of uprooted living reveals hundreds of thousands of souls bent and focused, no less than Vincent van Gogh himself, and his vast human tragedy, are all profoundly swept into the true nature of the ARTS.The Dramatic Arts are a schooling that awakens the dormant organs of karmic perception. Cloud Atlas (CLICK LINK) starts with a tight cluster of karmic souls gathered together, not only on an island, but within one of those obscure microcosms of humanity, on a ship together. How this microcosm projects out over time into the field of human karma, from such a small cluster of souls, captured in a journal, is the beginning of a great voyage.

169

It could have been Charles Darwins five-year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle which launched the distortion of how humans arose from apes (CLICK LINK). Those journals and that voyage utterly changed the perception of the world and education as we know it. Cloud Atlas brings about one of the first cinematic attempts to juggle the complexities of a vast Karmic Group, incarnating through time that skips like a stone thrown across the Etheric waters of the vast tableau of human destiny. It is a spiral cinematic unfolding, focused on intense knots and intense moments in the karmic history of a group of Souls. This spiral law was distinctly designed into Cloud Atlas by Lana and Andy Wachowski and their brilliant co-director,Tom Tykwer.

Rudolf Steiner -The Seven Great Mysteries- Karma is the law of cause and effect in the spiritual world; it represents the spiral process of evolution.
Cause and effect, Karma and Catharsis in the human soul is the very essence of Aristotles law of the Dramatic Arts. Human moral catharsis and the schooling of humanities intimate awakening to the spiritual world around us, is written into the script of each human beings destiny. Catharsis is the primal law of Drama and it is intimate to the word CATHARI. Later I shall examine the relationship between the prime directive of The Dramatic Arts, Catharis, and the nature of the Cathari. (prime directive- is the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution which are bound by the laws of karma)

170

In Cloud Atlas the critical driving theme is not the usual destruction of humanity, or a linear plot. What drives the plot is the unusual moral and karmic laws of Reincarnation and Karma within a specific set of individuals incarnating through history. Their earthly moral and dramatic choices, their moral developments, drive the plot through spiral karmic loops of the Earths, humanities and the fall of civilizations future developments. Nothing like it has ever been attempted in Cinema or film history.
Mitchells book is not a simple read, with its interlocking stories and a multitude of characters, distributed across centuries and continents. Each story line has a different central character: Adam Ewing, a young American who sails home after a visit to an island in the South Pacific, in the mid-nineteenth century; Robert Frobisher, a feckless but talented Englishman, who becomes the amanuensis to a genius composer in Flanders, in the nineteen-thirties; Luisa Rey, a gossip-rag journalist who rakes the muck of the energy industry in nineteen-seventies California; Timothy Cavendish, a vanity-press publisher who finds himself held captive in a nursing home in present-day England; Sonmi~451, a genetically modified clone who gains her humanity in a futuristic Korea, ravaged by consumerism; and Zachry, a Pacific Islander who struggles to survive in the even more distant future, after the Fall, which seems to have endangered the planet and eradicated much of humankind. These characters are connected by an intricate network of leitmotifsa COMET shaped birthmark crops up frequently

Mark Twain was born with Halleys Comet and predicted his own death coinciding precisely with the return of Halleys comet as it swung by again on its 75 year cycle. Rudolf Steiner also presented a theory where he proposed that comets are the living representation of higher spiritual entities to whom it is assigned the cosmic tasks of purification, catharsis and adjustment. Comets were the cyanide laced Ahrimanic marauders, renegades. Orbits, Suns, galaxies, planets, Moons, all conform to very objective mathematical fields, we can say there is a status quo for Constellations, Planets and these directly impact Life and Form on Earth. Comets refuse to conform to the order of upbuilding living cosmic systems. They follow their own law and we find the Cyanide of Comets and the Gold of the earth and in the Human Soul, as well as the cyanide that fractures the cohesion of the soul and spirit, used on Death Row, Gas Chambers and instant death for Spies, linked to the Alchemical core force of Gold in the Human Soul.

Acquaintance with these Beings who draw their past after them like a spiritual comets tail, has a shattering effect. Rudolf Steiner Karma and Reincarnation Studies (click Link)

171

Lana and Andy Wachowski have moved together through film history and individual creativity like comets. Comets are the nomads of the universe which capture the lost souls and direct them back to a place of reassessment, purification and, perhaps, recycling. The star laws of reincarnation, and the earth laws of human destiny, are part of the Science of Karma and Destiny that is the highest mission of the Dramatic Arts. Cloud Atlas represents an artistic skeleton key to the Karma of Charles Darwin, his former incarnation as Tariq in 711 to the Transcendent System of Karma Cognition that is part of Spiritual Science and The Dramatic Arts. The classic foundations of the narrative tale of the Pequod, Queequeg and Moby Dick by Herman Melville , a voyage of Initiation and a microcosm of our human search for the Titanic powers that shape the universe below the waves of consciousness, are raised to the transcendent level of the Philosophy and Science of human Karma in a Cloud Atlas. And we find Cinema and Humanity unprepared for such a leap. A leap of great courage by three directors working harmoniously together, unheard of, an harmonious triad of constructive intents, a spiritual trinity who ask themselves over and over and ask us, what is Karma and Destiny really about? These three directors carry humanity, philosophy and the science of film making into the virgin territory of Karma Cognition and The Dramatic Arts. Three harmonious film directors, Lana and Andy Wachowski, and Tom Tykwer along with the writing of David Mitchell take unwilling humanity to an entirely new threshold of The Dramatic Arts and Sciences. Move over Shakespeare and The Tempest!!!!
Sonmi was a human like youn me? Id never thinked so nord Abbess ever speaked such loonsomeness, nay, Sonmid been birthed by a god o Smart named Darwin

It is this Science of Human Karma and Human Destiny which towers above the overwhelming delusion that shaped human cognition, education and materialism through Darwins Evolutionary Theory. Moby Dick and the Pequod, Cloud Atlas and the H.M.S. Beagle turn the wheel of the titanic forces that shape cultural Imagination and the Science of Karma Cognition. All three of these shattering moments of Art Literature Science and Imagination, all began with a voyage, a ship and a moment seized, held fast and examined as, magnificent karmic sequences, moving through Time. Film, stage, novels are all primed and ready to reveal the passionate and powerful fields of Time where each human individual and each Karmic Group of Individuals have vividly, tragically, heroically incarnated in the sequence of Time. There are karmic sequential laws, there is the law of entering a real Spiritual World after death, what stars and time features marked our deaths and from the vast

172

divine system of the stars, a new course, a new destination, a new life is plotted out (CLICK LINK FOR PRECISE STUDY) and the very stars that marked our death sequences are transformed and bring us to the stars that mark our birth entry, back into Space. We plan our destinies to meet and recoup the progress of the souls we have been connected with for hundreds of sequences of Earth History.

Rudolf Steiner What I want to do is to give you a picture of certain historic connections, presenting it in such a way that at every point some light is shed on the workings of karma.
The highest mission of the Dramatic Arts and potential forming of the organ of intimate Karma Cognition arises clearly from how a CLOUD ATLAS takes shape. Rudolf Steiner continues - (THE SCIENCE OF KARMA COGNITION CLICK LINK) events do not take the form in which they reveal themselves in external history. The really significant streams run their course beneath the surface of ordinary history and in these streams the individualities of the men who have worked in one epoch appear again, born into communities speaking an entirely different language, with altogether different tendencies of thought, yet working still with the same fundamental impulse. In an earlier epoch they may have accomplished something splendid, because the trend of events was with them, while in a later they may have had to bring it into the world in face of great hindrances and obstructions. Such individuals are obliged to content themselves with much that seems trivial in comparison with the mighty achievements of their earlier lives; but for all that, what they carry over from one epoch into another is the same in respect of the fundamental trend and attitude of soul. We do not always recognize what is thus carried over because we are too prone to imagine that a later earthly life must resemble an earlier one. There are people who think that a musician must come again as a musician, a philosopher as a philosopher, a gardener as a gardener, and so forth. By no means is it so. The forces that are carried over from one incarnation into another lie on far deeper levels of the life of soul

The aim of the Arabians in their campaigns was most certainly not that of mere slaughter; no, their aim was really the spread of Arabism. Their tasks were connected with culture. And what a Tarik had carried into Spain at the beginning of the 8th century, he now bears with him through the gate of death, experiencing how as far as external history is concerned it runs dry in Western Europe. And he appears again in the 19th century, bringing Arabism to expression in modern form, asCharles Darwin.

.Read Darwins writings again with perception sharpened by what has been said and you will feel: Darwin writes about things which Tarik might have been able to see on his way to Europe! In such details you will perceive how the one life reaches over into the next.

173

Cloud Atlas could have been Darwins journals, but instead, and thankfully so, we are about to go tracking the story below the story of which the vast story of humanity is really all about. Instead of Darwinism, what we gain from Cloud Atlas is some of the first awakenings to the dormant organ of Karma Cognition as the highest schooling of The Dramatic Arts.

Reincarnation Casting Characters and the Dramatic Arts

Rudolf Steiner (CLICK LINK) .we are too prone to imagine that a later earthly life must resemble an earlier one. There are people who think that a musician must come again as a musician, a philosopher as a philosopher, a gardener as a gardener, and so forth. By no means is it so. The forces that are carried over from one incarnation into another lie on far deeper levels of t he life of soul

Referring to Halle Berry in Cloud Atlas(Click Link) and Reincarnation, costume, casting and story coherence, Lana (Wachowskis) picked up the story, saying, She would only ever get to be a slave or a servant, and she said it was an interesting thing to her because as an actor, and acting is always about transcending to some degree, shes always been segregated. History remains segregated to actors. They cant theyre not allowed, theyre banned, whites only for certain roles. And this movie, which is about transcending convention and transcending boundaries, allowed her just in the physical choice of giving her this part to transcend and claim a part of history through that transcendence that had always been denied to her.

My other favorite film so far this year, Holy Motors, is about the way performers slip in and out of identities and how they transform themselves, and how it feels like this is a discussion worth having right now as technology allows us to redefine ourselves through online identities and avatars and we are discussing things like outliving our bodies by downloading our personalities, separating soul from form.

Each of our karmic histories and each of our karmic stories are woven into the great tapestry of human history. It is Artistic, it is subtle and above all each of our stories are ripped from the heart of the great story of the journey of the Tenth Hierarchy. The many parts we play in the unfolding of our human destinies are part of the intimate fabric of how our own I AM played its part through all the chapters of all the many lives we lived and shared together through time.
Cloud Atlas presents a plot of MORAL OR KARMIC PROGRESSION, so that Mr. Hanks, the lead, goes from being the movies worst character, a doctor trying to poison the 19th-century notary, to its best, the futuristic goatherd, Zachry, who saves humanity, or what remains of it. Mr. Grant, on the other hand, goes in the opposite direction, starting out bad as a racist missionary in the 19th-century story and winding up

174

worse as a slobbering cannibal in the post-apocalyptic one. Some actors even play members of the opposite sex.

Cloud Atlas begins a journey that awakens the hidden mystery behind THE DRAMATIC ARTS AND SCIENCES. This schooling in understanding the Science of Human relationships, of Karmic Groups and how we incarnate together over time and what lessons we discover on our journeys together, is part of the science of Karma and Reincarnation. The schooling that awakens this dormant organ of Karma Cognition is none other than THE DRAMATIC ARTS.

Karmic Groups of TWELVE

In the Science of the Dramatic Arts and in Spiritual Science, We look back at earlier incarnations of man of races and civilizations, as well as of the earth itself. We build up within ourselves an idea of what will happen in the future i.e. time. And we shall always see our way if we judge of evolution in time from a framework built up by means of the number seven. On the other hand the number TWELVE is a clue for all things that co-exist in space. Science which at the same time was wisdom was always conscious of this. It said: It is possible to find the right way by connecting the spatial relationship of everything that occurs upon the earth with TWELVE permanent points in space the TWELVE signs of the Zodiac in the cosmos!

These are the TWELVE basic points with which everything in space is

connected.

This

declaration was not an arbitrary yield of human thinking; but the power of thought in those early times had learned from reality and so ascertained the fact that space was best understood when it was divided

175

into TWELVE constituent parts, thus making the numberTWELVE a clue for all spatial relations. But where the question of changes came in, that is to say in the time element, the seven planets were given as a clue by a still older science. Seven is here the clue. Rudolf Steiner The East in the Light of the West Chapter 9

In our previous study of Eurythmy, Speech, The Word and the study of Etheric Phytology (CLICK LINK) we opened a small window into the Egyptian Mysteries of the Souls Awakening from the Four Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner. We also examined some of the more hidden secrets of The Tempest by Shakespeare. Shakespeare, in his The Tempest, resets the Karma of TWELVE characters, a cast of TWELVE, by using a recapitulation of a Jupiter Planetary orbital rhythm based on 12 years. In The Tempest , one of the first conscious teaching tools of the higher mission of The Dramatic Arts, revealed the hidden reality of how Karma and Cosmology, how clusters and karmic circles can be changed and altered by a conscious higher moral perception of synchronicity and the workings and patterns of human destiny. Similarities of how isolated case studies, under a magnifying glass of human spiritual relationships, appear in the realism of Cloud Atlas or in the pure IMAGINATION of The Tempest, brings us clearly, if we have developed a certain depth of insight, right into the hidden mysteries of karma dynamics. This study is going to give us clues into how we may open the door into the dawning experimentation of tracking the mystery of Karma Cognition, Karmic Groups and awakening an inkling of the deeds of the Lord of Karma, who rules over the highest mysteries of The Dramatic Arts. The Lord of Karma is the writer and director that brings human destinies together, in a location, in a future time, and we shall show in this essay how those future times of meeting are foreshadowed and projected back into our human souls. We shall study one of the deepest mysteries of The Lord of Karma and the science ofThe Dramatic Arts. Through The Tempest we learn that a very specific Karmic Group all incarnated together in blood lines and heredity in Italy and an Initiate, Prospero, who was well schooled in the esoteric sciences, the intimate woven pattern of connections out of the stars that brought a cluster of souls together in a specific region where destiny could be studied with intensity, find themselves in a catastrophe of unique betrayals.

176

Politics and leadership vs Esoteric Sciences create a family feud which requires Manichean efforts of forgiveness. Evil instincts in the political and economic sphere of fortunes and kingdoms vs Conscious perception of Karmic events and how to heal Karmic wounds caused by human betrayals of goodness, requires, in The Dramatic Sciences, an over all starry wisdom and appreciation of how to use the stars and planets to the benefit of humanity. However it cannot be more severely brought to our human Tenth Hierarchy attention, that Black Lodges also use the conscious power of the stars and incarnation clusters of human beings to consolidate intense conscious evil out of the political and Ahrimanic sphere. (CLICK LINK FOR VIVID STUDY) The examples of machinations into the karmic manipulations, and assassination of key figures who could do great good for humanity, who were murdered and today are still murdered, poisoned and assisted by black lodge agents to suicide because they are or were agents of good, is keyed and triggered by THINK TANKS who also use the starry regions and starry planetary forces. Black Lodge groups and Black Lodge directed clusters also incarnate and miss-use and abuse the higher Star Forces in human destiny to consciously dismantle, re-direct and destroy the future paths that goodness could take. It is not even the least bit difficult to see how the extermination of JFKRFK-JFK jr. were the work of Black Lodges to exterminate an entire direction, root and branch, of potential goodness and idealism and re-direct that path of goodness, through the elimination of the actual incarnation, through the murder of key human individualities, with the intent to divert human goodness into the darkest channels of global deception and degradation. Therefore a Manichean battle of conscious good vs conscious evil IS, as they say, IN THE HOUSE. I shall connect to this Manichean thread later on. (In depth study link Adriana Koulias here)

A Precise Course Study in the History of the Dramatic Arts

Rudolf Steiner on the History of Dramatic Art (CLICK LINK) - Art emerges from the spiritual, its original source of knowledge. Spiritual vision withdraws more and more in proportion as the senseworld commands ever-wider attention, thereby stimulating the development of the ego. Human consciousness follows the course of world evolution and so has to make the journey from the spiritual world to the world of the ego and the senses. If man were to study the world of the senses only through the eyes of external science, he would come to understand it only intellectually in scientific terms. But in place of clairvoyance, when this passes away, he is granted IMAGINATION, which creates for him a kind of shadowy reflection of what he can no longer

177

perceive. IMAGINATION has had to follow the same path as man, entering eventually into his selfawareness, as with Dante. But the threads that link humanity to the spiritual world can never break, not even when art descends into the isolation of the human ego. Man takes IMAGINATIONwith him on his way;

Thy messengers will be the skalds and the poets of all the ages
Prospero makes a rather strange claim in this act (ACT V), that is brought up nowhere else in the play; he echoes Medeas claim in the Metamorphoses that he can call up dead men from their graves, which seems to be included merely to further identify Prospero with the figure of Medea. Sycorax, the witch whom Prospero takes every opportunity to disparage but whom he resembles in his use of force, manipulative use of his magic, and past history, is actually based upon Ovids portrayal of Medea; and, the relation between Prospero and Sycorax/Medea becomes more apparent in Prosperos speech, based upon the words of Medea.

Prosperos speech, is very much reminiscent of one of Medeas speeches in the Metamorphoses: both speeches run roughly ye elves by whose aid I have bedimmed, called forth,given fire, and rifted, and Shakespeares language is too similar to Ovids in its syntax, commanding and formal tone, and implications to be merely incidental.

JUPITER and the Transformation of Human Destiny

In the Vowel UH SATURN a study in Western Cosmology (CLICK LINK) we researched Saturn. We now bring Jupiter into the focus of our considerations. Jupiter is the Vowel Sound O .

178

Jupiter runs in a rhythm and orbital pattern of approximately 12 years as it sings its song around the Sun. In education we have these TWELVE YEARS from 1st grade to 12th grade, compressed, as our zone and time sphere for reawakening and reintegrating the history of our karma, education and planting the

179

seeds of history and catching up with our current cultural TIME, currently under the ZeitGeist Archae Michael, three stages above humanity. In those short TWELVE YEARS we are given a Zeus like recapitulation and reintroduction to the history of events we have each and everyone of us participated in, in the past history of the karma of humanity. In those TWELVE YEARS we gain a faint insight into the inner INTUITION of the unique gifts and talents we brought with us into incarnation. In those TWELVE EDUCATIONAL YEARS all of us who start the journey, say from 1st grade, we all enter at a precise moment where Jupiter is positioned and by the end of those Twelve Years, we have all of us completed an entire Jupitercycle that spiraled down deep into the core of all that is under

the surface

, stirring dynamic points of inner gifts

we have from the past that now sling-shot us forwards into the future. Hopefully we find our unique key and gift, which requires our heightened sense of intuition to navigate through the life lessons that will be thrown at us in the process of self discovery. That entire beneficentJupiter period, if we are lucky, gets us back into finding ourselves and finding our karmic path and eventually finding and meeting the people who are part of our karmic Group. The Tempest was an excellent example of astral, planetary ph ysics using the dynamic of Jupiter and Jupiters TWELVE YEAR rhythm to transform and readjust a karmic event. Why Western Cosmology Sciences fall so far short of the mark is because our human thinking fails to put together certain precise connections. In The Tempest Prospero performs a deed which is higher and more powerful than the magnificent programming and technology we use in Space Exploration. Prospero uses a SLING SHOT event, a pattern of conscious karmic coincidence to transform a negative karmic spiral into a positive, transformed and restored karmic loop. What we term retrograde events are in actual potential recapitulation events with potent potential for

180

transformation. We must learn to look at forces of the Planets themselves with higher intuition or we will never overcome DEAD COSMOLOGY.

Gravitational Slingshot
Interplanetary space probes often make use of the gravitational slingshot effect to propel them to high velocities. For example, Voyager 2 performed a close flyby of Saturn on the 27th of August in 1981, which had the effect of slinging it toward its flyby of Uranus on the 30th of January in 1986. Since gravity is a conservative force, it may seem strange that an object can achieve a net gain in speed due to a close encounter with a large gravitating mass. We might imagine that the speed it gains while approaching the planet would be lost when receding from the planet. However, this is not the case, as we can see from simple consideration of the kinetic energy and momentum, which shows how a planet can transfer kinetic energy to the spacecraft.

The Jupiter Sling Shot and the conscious transformation of karmic clusters Hail, many-colored messenger, that neer Dost disobey the wife of Jupiter;
CERES Highst queen of state, Great Juno, comes; I know her by her gait.
Juno was a daughter of Saturn and sister (but also the wife) of the chief god Jupiter. In order to intersect with Jupiter and change the negative aspects of karma into positive aspects of karma through IMAGINATION, the feminine side of Jupiter, his wife, is brought in to help sway Jupiter to resolve the future and happiness of two souls meant to be karmically united. Juno was the mother of Mars and Vulcan. Connecting Mars the War god to the future of humanity and the distant Vulcan evolution we have to pass through, TODAY, the current devastation of

181

global economy. Juno was the patron goddess of Rome and the Roman empire. As Juno Moneta , where the term MONEY comes from, Juno guarded over the finances of the empire and had a temple on the Arx (one of two Capitoline hills), close to the Royal Mint. In other words printing money from our current false Ahrimanic Federal Reserve

and the deviations from the path of Goodness and throwing human karma into deliberate disorder is not what Juno the wife of Jupiter was meant to become. The wife of Jupiter has now become the significant Whore of Babylon serving commerce and congress. Every underhanded purveyor of lies and betrayals of the Tenth Hierarchy can now have congress with Juno. Science has learned to fornicate the false values and genetic codes of the plants, animals and humans. Human beings have corrupted the use of finances and corrupted the beneficent forces of Zeus. Human wisdom, have since Shakespeares time, darken ed and corrupted Mars, War, Money and Matter Herself. Another theme, along with Manicheanism is the deliberate disruption of karmic paths and through human manipulation, throwing human Karma into massive disorder (Click Link get Netflix and study whole T.V. series TOUCH CLICK LINK) . This is another branch of Karma Cognition and part of the Lord of Karmas powerful Imaginations that literally project into actual human beings, an After

182

Image, a polar image, of a future event, that will adjust the present event. We have made MONEY and War and big Pharma into the massive Imagination of a WHORE for Ahrimanic Corporatocracy and further weighed down humanity under Saturn with newly invented catastrophic karma and sadism that presses humanity deeper into Manichean territory.

Rudolf Steiner
It is a thing of untold significance that has already happened and is happening more and more: the Angel of the one human being, of the one human soul who was karmically connected with another human soul, did not go on with the Angel of that other soul. Of two human souls karmically united with one another, the one Angel remained with Michael while the other went down to earth. What was bound to happen as a result? In the time between the founding of Christianity and the age of the Consciousness Soul, which was signaled above all by the 9th century and the year 869 A.D., the KARMA OF HUMAN BEINGS CAME INTO DISORDER (Study This Link). This is to pronounce one of the deepest and most important words that can possibly be uttered with regard to the modern history of mankind. DISORDER CAME INTO THE KARMA OF PRESENT-DAY HUMANITY. In the following lives on earth the experiences of men were no longer all of them rightly coordinated with their karma. This is the chaotic element in the history of recent times. This has brought into the history of recent times more and more social chaos, chaos of civilization; and the disorder that has come into human karma can find no end. For a split has taken place in the Hierarchy of Angeloi belonging to Michael.

Prospero and all of us who wish to Prosper are faced with the enormous task of bringing some sort of order back into human karma. (Unique Human Beings are being sent into Incarnation to bring Order back into Human Karma (Click Link)Touch T.V. series) Human Destiny sits as a complete dynamic and planetary functioning field of forces, as separate and yet part of Nature.
Stephen E. Usher

An important thread in the theme of the Cosmic Intelligence is the relation of beings who bear karma to the Christ Being, who now works in the atmosphere of the earth in the form of an angel, the Etheric Christ. This Etheric Christ is the Lord of Karma [21, Oct. 7, 1911]. For the karmic will inherent in each being that bears karma to come about means that the beings in question come into a proper relation with the Lord of Karma. The set of relationships between the Lord of Karma and each set of people who have karma to work through is a subset of the Cosmic Intelligence.

Rudolf Steiner explained that as a result of the ahrimanic influences on the Cosmic Intelligence, karma has come into disorder. The ahrimanized angels refuse to carry out their duties in connection with karma.

183

These duties can be described thus: when karma between two human beings requires adjustment, the angels of the two people must first meet and arrange the details. The Lord of Karma oversees the arrangements so the karma is worked out in the way most beneficial to the human community. The ahrimanized angels refuse to follow the will of the karma the will inherent in the human beings with whom they are connected and thus fail to guide the karma on its true path.

Nature appears to run independently, stone, plant, and animal, stars, weather and what appears to be life, runs independently under HUMAN DESTINY. Nature is the footstool, but the diagnostic science of destiny sits as a layer of powerful forces that rides nature like cowboys ride horses.

Our miss-use and abuse of the cosmic forces of Human Destiny have been projected back to humanity through the vivid Imagination of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

184

Humanity gained insight into powerful forces above nature and rode our human destiny to destruction. More on that later, but it is clear that to be Prosperous, Prospero is going to have to reset what human destiny has forced into disorder. Prospero will attempt to bring his daughters destiny from disorder back into order.

The Science of Karma Cognition developed through the Dramatic Arts Rudolf Steiner If, in the near future, in four times TWELVE HUMAN BEINGS, the Michael Thought becomes fully alive four times TWELVE HUMAN BEINGS, that is, who are recognized not by themselves but by the Leadership of the Goetheanum in Dornach if in four timesTWELVE HUMAN BEINGS, leaders arise having the mood of soul that belongs to the Michael festival, then we can look up to the light that through the Michael stream and the Michael

Playing on a vaster Time Field than Shakespeare used, by using the real physics of Time and our current Time Spirit regent, the Archae Michael, a series of so calledMystery Dramas were written that track TWELVE INDIVIDUALS, interwoven and interconnected who have moved through Time and Incarnations together. It remains one of the most advanced Dramatic Models of the interplay between astral karmic physics and Earthly human destiny ever presented. TWELVESpiritual standpoints, 4-Groups of Twelve are needed desperately who recognize each other over the Earth; Each human being has TWELVE SENSES not merely five. The Riddle of Conscious Karma Cognition You have been joined by destiny together to unfold the powers which are to serve the good in active work. And while you journey on the path of soul, wisdom itself will teach you that the highest goal can be achieved when souls will give each other spirit certainty, will join themselves in faithfulness for the healing of the world. The spirits guidance has united you in knowledge; so now unite yourselves for spirit work. The rulers of this realm bestow on you, through me, these words of strength: Lights weaving essence radiates

from person to person

189

to fill the world with truth. Loves blessing gives its warmth to souls through souls to work and weave the bliss of all the worlds. And messengers of spirit join human works of blessing with purposes of worlds. And when those who find themselves in others join with each other the light of spirit radiates through warmth of soul.
The inconceivable Science of Shakespeare, how he managed a gravitational sling-shot event using the forces of Jupiter and reading the incidence of Synchronicity and Jungian Coincidence into

190

advanced karma perception and cognition and advanced psychology, is all in the difference between white and black magic. Darkened, anti-human and Evil Psychology methodology used and developed everywhere today has everything to do with the WORD and fallen Ahrimanic-Luciferic sciences Shakespeare opposed, called SYCORAX (Click Link). Today and far into the future we will be engaged in a Manichean battle of education, pharmaceuticals, torture and Ahrimanic intrusions, so devilish and so devastating, that seeks to grab our offspring, our children, before they are even born, and twist them into Sci-Ops SYCORAX products suited only for mass cultural insanity and perversion. Karma schooling and Karma cognition are critical and every effort in the Dramatic Arts that strides forwards into the frontiers of Moral Imagination, is a step forward in the Science of Karma Cognition and a step forwards into the depths of vision of the Lord of Karma.

The Transformation of Evil and the Manichean Mystery of the Future

In Cloud Atlas and in most of the Wachowski Brands, The Matrix and V for Vendetta we deal with some of the first powerful and astonishing revelations of a kind of Manichean Warrior Initiation into courage. (Click This Link for Manichean Initiation Into a Christo Morimur cry for blessing for the

soul) We are going to need this courage and the Wachowski Siblings are correct in the package they
offer it in. In Cloud Atlas one of the most difficult projected attacks against humanity, that is forming today, is the mystery of genetic cloning and the human I AM. The human I AM, as Ahrimanic Science progresses, as Ahriman Himself Incarnates (Click Link), the aim is to sever the I AM from the Spiritual World, bring disorder into the karma of civilization so that it no longer even resembles civilization and bring retaliation by the fallen Ahrimanic angels, with the intent to drag down the rest of the Angelic Community. The degeneracy of Ahrimanic Sciences are likely to continue to meddle with genetic manipulation and cloning and thereby fracture the forces of the Angelic Kingdom even further into the future. The Dramatic Arts has the distinct mission to stir humanity into action. Our education and university training, medical and scientific efforts, all coated over with the thick goo of militaristic fallen fascist agendas, will very likely sink humanity into the snares of the worst catastrophe of the Fifth Epoch of

191

Ahrimanic social Evil ever imagined.

Ahrimanic intents, are hell-

bent on severing humanity from the upper sphere of Incarnation. Ahriman intends to distort and shatter The Laws of Reincarnation. The Dramatic Arts and Spiritual Science are the narrowest of bridges over this frightful abyss. There is a map, a Cloud Atlas that most of us, including the intimate karma of David Mitchell, of the Wachowski siblings, myself, also born out of Chicago (I will track our Karma and our specific Cloud Atlas road-map out of Chicago later in the essay) and the entire School of Spiritual Science known as the Michael School, all planned our road-trip to Earthly life with the Cloud Atlas, supplied by a pre-birth gathering of a huge karmic school that took place in the Spiritual World. What we might achieve with our freedom and our destinies on Earth, were part of a mighty panorama, a Cloud Atlas in which millions of souls are participating. Recognizing ourselves on Earth and cherishing our intentions and works is to gain the capacity to become fully conscious of the Cloud Atlas School we attended together before we all de cided to incarnate. I will address this magnificent theme, of how the Risen Etheric Christ rose into the Clouds and a Cloud Atlas, an incarnation map of millions of souls are now the working strategies of humanity, the Archae Michael and the Lord of Karma. (more on that later) Ahriman intends to create a placebo spiritual world, a virtual-world of Astral forces robbed from the Fallen Devachan (Click Link). Ahriman intends to fabricate a wholly disconnected Nature Nutrition from the laws of nature and create a controlled Etheric and Destiny tag and tracking technology, sometimes called RFID chips. But those are kiddie toys compared to the meddling into Cloning and homogenizing the I AM of each human spiritual being into faceless functioning ahrimanically

192

controlled sentient life form. A carbon based I AM, emptied of individual soul identity, easily controlled from pre-birth to the end of the Fabricants life is what the Manichean of TODAY faces. Numbed and amazingly naive, except for those Artists, Film Makers, Novelists and profound Philosophers, who get it, every inch of our defeat and our daily compromising our humanity, our dignity, the very foundations of THE TENTH HIERARCHY, which we are, will incrementally shatter the stars, further decimate the Angelic Community of THE NINTH HIERARCHY and enslave humanity in a nightmare severed from the Spiritual World and severed from the cohesion of our own I AM. Unless we start fighting back NOW.

It is through this Manichean moment, where a manufactured, Fabricated clone awakens as an I AM that Sonmi-451 defeats the Ahrimanic forces. The smothered, fabricated, depleted empty vessel of Darwins worst nightmare, the thing that Ahriman had locked down and eradicated, eviscerated, our humanity, reduced to mulched flesh and a delicious foamy malt called soap.

In this diabolical, demonic future, the I AM, awakens in a clone (Click Link), in Sonmi-451 and precipitates the fall of the dominating Ahrimanic culture. The Fabricant
The Cloud Atlas story focuses on a genetically-engineered fabricant clone named Sonmi~451 who is one of millions raised in an artificial wombtank, destined to serve from birth.

doll toys for pureblood kids in the futuristic society of Nea So Copros an ultra-corporate version of a unified Korea that has grown to include much of Asia.

We are on our way to get to this Ahrimanic nightmare incrementally, day by day. It is dawning before our very eyes. When Sonmi-451 awakens Ahrimans Earthly Ruler-ship finally collapses, caves in on itself. Humanity has been nearly eradicated in the process. To prevent the stages that are without a doubt going to bring these things to fruition, the full thrust of Manichean Christianity must come to the aide of a slumbering, sickened society. The Dramatic Arts knows this, sees this and is aware of the type of courage needed NOW to deflect what is undoubtedly coming towards us and is nearly upon us.

Raising up of the Son of the Widow The Youth of Nain and the future of Manicheanism
In his lectures on the Gospel of St. Luke, Rudolf Steiner speaks about this Raising from the Dead , as it is related in St. Luke, Chapter 7, verses 11 -17. Rudolf Steiner Characterizes it as a very special form of Initiation: an Initiation, namely, in which the forces awakened in the soul do not become active at once, and in which there is no consciousness, as yet, of the change which has taken place. The effects of the accomplished spiritual awakening repose within the soul like a seed, and reach full development only in the next incarnation. In this Initiation of the Widow of Nains Son, Christ prepared something for future Ages so Rudolf Steiner explains to us. He awakened, in this case, an individuality would bring to mankind, in accordance with its further evolution, and in an entirely objective way, something for which human beings will be ripe only in the future. What we read concerning the awakening of the Widow of Nains Son, arose anew as a powerful Teacher of religion, and that in this way in a later age, a new Teacher of Christianity could arise, endowed with the power which had been implanted at that earlier time in his soul. Adelheid v. Sybel-Petersen 1935

Which brings us to a brand new re-framing of the new Joan of Arcs underMichael the Archae and the unfolding Manichean Mystery. It is THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (Click Link) starring Noomi Rapace that brings us into the current issues of sadism, abuse, savvy computer technology, well schooled, disciplined, with enormous anti-social I AM wisdom, an outcast, the new Anti-Heroine or Hero is the new real deal. A new Manichean Identity emerged as a type, a type that appears to reject all the old conservative visual identity markers that make people THINK, assume, they are all safe amidst homogenized happy political consumers. Or are they? So a new rejected TYPE of Manichean Dramatic

195

Character was created, whose complex intelligence, cunning and human courage can take the power back from the bankers, reverse the sadistic rapers and seducers and make them into the quivering cowards that they absolutely are. The New Manichean Warrior overcomes all Identity limitations, passport and legal Matrixs of power, travel, and can change their whole temperament and dress and assume a new identity if it suits their purpose. The New Manicheancan handle the roar of an intense high-powered bike, move like a high-speed lightening bolt through every layer of culture. The New Manichean can go unobserved or dismissed, marginalized but retains their innate integrity, ethical courageous content and independence, to what all appearances seems the epitome of a Loki-like intensified Luciferic force bottled in a highly carbonated Manichean disguise. The New Manichean has fully, flatly rejected everything phony or laced with hypocrisy or at least appears to see right through it.

The entire edifice of abstract cultural lies are rejected, yetThe New Manichean turns the weapons of Ahrimanic abuse back, spiritually reverses those forces and puts them right up against Ahrimans own throat. It forces a massive Catharsis in real time against human souls who have fallen into actual demonic possession. The Manichean Warrioruses the Information Super-Highway and the Global Information codes to Hack all the way to truth and restore the balance of power, rightness and righteousness via the very

196

laws that Ahriman has slowly evolved to enslave us. These are consciously reversed and used against the Ahrimanic in a new Manichean Hackers Code of Knight Templar vengeance.

Cathari Catharsis-and Manichean catastrophes colliding in our current Fifth Epoch What is the meaning of the utterance of Manes that he is the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, The Son of the Widow? It means that he will prepare for that epoch in which the men of the Sixth Root Race will be led by themselves, by the light of their own souls. Manes will create an overlapping stream, a stream which goes further than the stream of the Rosicrucians. The stream of Manes goes over to the Sixth Root Race which has been in preparation since the founding of Christianity. Christianity will appear in its perfected form in the Sixth Root Race.
Rudolf Steiner (CLINK LINK)

Christian Life of the Sixth Root Race must be prepared. A number of human beings must be formed into an organization, a Form, in which the Christianity of the Sixth Root Race can find its place. This Form, this external Form of Society must spring from a handful of human beings whom Manes prepares. This is the community that Manes prepares.

Therefore the first Endeavor of Manicheanism is to shape external life in its pure form. That is why Manicheanism laid such great stress on purity. The Cathari were a sect which appeared like a meteor. They gave themselves this name, Cathari, because Cathari means the Pure Ones. They were human beings who had to keep themselves pure in their mode of life and in their moral relationships.

In Manicheanism, it was less a question of the cultivation of Life but rather of the cultivation of the external Form of Life for the Sixth Root Race. In this Sixth Root Race, Good and Evil will form a far greater contrast than they do today. What will appear in the Fifth Round for the whole of humanity, i.e., that the physiognomy will be a direct expression for that which karma has created in man, so, in the Sixth Root Race, Evil will appear, especially in the Spiritual.

197

There will be human beings who are mighty in Love and Goodness. But Evil will also be there as a mood and a disposition (Gesinnung) without any covering, within a large number of human beings. They will extol Evil. Some inkling in regard to the Evil in the Sixth Root Race glimmers in many human beings of cunning and genius. (Nietzsches Blond Beast was a portent of this Evil in the Sixth Root Race.) The task of the Sixth Root Race is to draw Evil again into itself through gentleness (Milde). In those who are the followers of the Sons of the Widow there will live the inviolable principle that Evil must be overcome through gentleness. That is the task of the Manichean Spiritual Stream. It appears in forms which many can call to mind, and need not be mentioned. It must express itself in the forming of a community which has to spread above all things: Peace, Love, and Non-resistance to Evil. It must create a Form for the Life that is to come later.

In other-words what is required this very instant, Today, right NOW is not only Occupy this and Occupy that peacefully getting pounded, sprayed and shot at by police, or locked in Free Speech Zones, but the vivid Manichean Warrior (See Important Link) is required to deflect as much as possible the approaching Ahrimanic storm we have invoked for THIS our current Fifth Epoch or Fifth Age. This is us now and as you can read for yourself, all of us, all of humanity, we are not going to be allowed to glide by the catastrophes we are currently creating f or ourselves and the future of humanity.

The Cathars, whose Manichean knowledge concerning good and evil stood in opposition to Soraths goals were also hunted down, tortured and burnt. Their spiritual cousins the Templars whose task of inaugurating a Christened social order in preparation for the 6th Epoch were incarcerated tortured made to confess to despicable crimes and murdered. The Order was abolished through the co-operation of Pope Clement (possessed by a Luciferic spirit) and Philip king of France (possessed by an Ahrimanic

Spirit).

In our times

the above two attacks, the establishment of the Academy of Gondishapur and the destruction of the Cathars and the Templar order have been greatly strengthened by the entry of a new being in the service of the Sun Demon, Asuras who wishes to destroy humanitys connection with the Ego through the Consciousness or Spiritual soul[10]. It is the action of all three categories of beings: Luciferic, Ahrimanic and Asuric in the service of Sorath that resulted in the reflection of the above two attacks in Bolshevism (Gondishapur) and Nazism (Destruction of Templar order)[11] National Socialism. The development of secret lodges over and against the impulse of Rosicrucianism and the rise of Jesuitism in opposition to the Grail impulses have been other incursions into the development of the human spirit.

The majority of humanity wishes to sleep into what is coming but in the character created from (Click Link) THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO an entirely new Manichean Impulse has been set into the mold of a Modern Manichean Knight, an absolutely no nonsense new Joan of Arc.

199

A sub-culture has arisen around us. Most of it is just fad, fermented foam and fickle fashion that fits in with the tacky tribal Rites of Passage, Same as it Ever Was. Gang tattoos have become sub cultures playground of visual body philosophies that are actually blandly typical, superficially cliquish Christmas Tree decorations so that the holy and divine human form, our naked bodies, would not appear so boring. This is the very height of the epitome of cynicism that our materialism produces. Lavish Luciferic mediocre debasements of the organic and Etheric truth behind the true IMAGINATION of our human forms is the pitiful result of our intellectualized reductionism of spiritual reality. The vehicles for the realism of our concrete Incarnations, that were formed out of Divine Imaginations, became a billboard for fallen NASCAR cosmic Clichs. And it will get worse,

much worse. And if nothing else, if you have low self-esteem you may be able to fit in with some well placed tattoos, piercings, for your eyebrows, nose and tongue, various sex teasers for those boring moments when we just stare at each other in our nakedness. All this, basic sublimated philosophy of

200

sex is the meaning of life that has flowed as blow-back and back-wash into the drab soul life of our Average Joe and Jane. Mohawks and brightly dyed hair also worked their way into the sub-culture of suburbia as well as so-what and whatever. Materialism and university education, any education now under Ahrimanic jurisdiction has spewed forth a copy of meaningless spam into the hearts and minds of nearly everyone. This mediocre spam floating like turds in the soul life of the majority of humanity cannot find the traction of inner cognition or depth of discernment needed to flush it out of the system. Rather this Soap, this Spam regenerates itself and spews forth the homogenized foaming froth of the continuous meaninglessness of the individuality. So lacking in any depth of interest or skill sets to discover the I AM in ourselves we must use signs painted on our bodies to claim that we are Toyotas, Fords, Porsche, Hondas, Mitsubishi, bi -sexual, Harley, transsexual, hetro or metro sexual users and abusers. Literally the draining and deadening materialism of Ahrimans brand of homogenization reduces all life to a series of accidents andClichs for the bland, the bored, the blas, the apathetic, the cynical, the indifferent and of course, the disillusioned. So how will sub-culture generations awaken? That is one of the big questions Lana and Andy Wachowski have wrestled with since they incarnated together. They have presented numerous Manichean models and there is of course the sub-culture model of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Noomi Rapace. Rapace was extraordinary as the damaged but awesome Lisbeth Salander genius computer hacker, female ninja and emotional anti-social iceberg. A case study in the hidden germinating seed force of a new type of Manichean Warrior.

201

Noomi Rapace just happened to have the chance to study in a Waldorf

School

where Michael thoughts, Michael

Intelligence and Michael impulses flow through every Waldorf School in the world. Waldorf Education is the largest private school system in the World. Joan of Arcs relation to the Archangel Michael at the time of Joans mission and deed, were directed completely against the ongoing tides of decadent Power. Joan was subjected to a martyrs death. Waldorf Education is a direct result of Michael Intelligence flowing strongly through our current world.
the family returned to Sweden to enroll Rapace in a Rudolf Steiner School . They didnt want to put me in a normal school because I was so wild, she says. I grew up in nature. I was always out playing with the horses, building and creating things, and Steiner schools give you a bit more freedom.

202

The New Manichean heroines rise from the ashes of Joan and shine forth in Sonmi~451, Lisbeth Salander. These are examples of some of the brilliant reflections of the true Mission of the future of the Dramatic Arts. These examples have blazed into flaming life with (Click Link) Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and of course Cloud Atlas.

Rudolf Steiner

in place of clairvoyance, when this passes away, he is granted IMAGINATION, which creates for him a kind of shadowy reflection of what he can no longer perceive.
The basis for elevating Karma Cognition requires us to review Consciously, the vivid blueprints of how Reincarnation and Karma technically operate. Groups of Karmically connected individuals are even now preparing for incarnation. Say for instance, given a specific event that tied people together, the Sinking of the Titanic for instance. The example of Human Imagination and the actual Clairvoyance of the Lord of Karma at the threshold of Death, appear vividly and bring to Life the prime reality of the Dramatic Arts. All those that lost their lives in the Titanic meet under the clock (Click Link Intuition and the Lord of Karma). The Midnight Hour of Life after Death deserves to be studied. Such an intense study can be started (HERE CLICK LINK). The Artistic Intuition of the Lord of Karma reveals how Clairvoyance and Imaginationwork directly together through the arts. And to understand Karma Cognition, the biography of such a full life and full destiny and those who were cut short in tragedy, such rich bonds of love and courage, we may witness the gathering of NEW KARMA, The Science of Destiny and Reincarnation, how humanity understands the generous and benevolent Lord of Karma

203

is part of the most exquisite realities behind the Mission of The Dramatic Arts. We can take another wrenching example. We understand, The Dramatic Artsunderstands how all those that may have boarded an airplane together, all who partook of such a destiny, all who crossed the threshold of death together share an intangible bond. (ABSOLUTELY STUDY THIS MOVIE RENT THIS MOVIE AND CLICK THIS LINK TO UNDERSTAND RELIGIOUS AND ANGELIC THINKING AT THE THRESHOLD). A reordering of destiny and reuniting of our Angels to the Christ and Lord of Destiny takes place. NEW karmic Groups, new Angelic and human unions are re-fashioned, reformed and re-focused towards a future where Karmic Groups will be able to realign their and our Angels to the goals of the magnificent striving of the Tenth Hierarchy. Earthquakes that swallow whole groups, Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims, Dresden Bombings author Kurt Vonnegut (See Link). Massive events that swept thousands up together in flame. They crossed the Threshold of Death and met with the New Etheric Christ Mysteries that seek whole new karmic constellations to re-orchestrate and bring order back into human karma.

204

There is a powerful and emotional potency that crosses the boundaries of Life and Death, brings us back into union with our Good Angels and order back into human karma. Drama has the powerful task to witness and school the soul in the reordering of destiny and human karma. The Dramatic Arts are able to use Moral Imagination as a stage towards higher clairvoyance while awakening the dormant organs of Karma Cognition. We find some of these reconstituted, nurturing and rejuvenating Karmic Groups attracted to and joining Symphony Orchestras, where the echo of the Music of the Spheres, drew them all into a New Karmic System as they crossed the threshold of death. We find some of these absolutely NEW groups, who met the Etheric Christ Event together, forming themselves into Eurythmy Groups around the world. Some tragedies create new possibilities, new Constellations of Souls and Spirits who will learn together and slowly unfold together and slowly learn to reverse the trends of our current plunge into conscious psychological evil. We are in the territory where we can indicate samples of Karma Science and Karma education that we can immediately understand and embrace from the Dramatic Arts, films, screenplays and intuitions out of the realm of the arts and sciences. (SEE LINK AND GET THE MOVIE) WHAT DREAMS MAY COME with Robin Williams is a jewel in the crown of the research into our journey through Karma and Reincarnation.

Hamlet For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause; theres the respect That makes calamity of so long life
There is an educational systems elaboration that I have prepared for myself so that I would remember to remind myself of how the technical system of Reincarnation, through the Mid-Night hour where we trek into the high regions of the Spiritual World, to our deepest penetration, back to Earth, down into our biographies, where we arrive at Mid-Day around our 35th year, having forgotten nearly everything about our journey. To get a firm foundation in Embryology and Reincarnation you may want to explore HERE (Click Link). Another example where Film and The Dramatic Arts takes us behind the scenes in a sketch on Reincarnation and Karma that makes a warm impression, as a Dramatic Sketch of events, prior to our incarnation and events leading to fulfillment of meeting the people we chose to meet on Earth, is the film Made In Heaven (See film and Click Link for sample ) with Timothy Hutton and Kelly

205

McGillis contains a wistful but deeply intuitive insight into the facts of Life after Death and how we prepare for a New Incarnation. And then we have Cloud Atlas which leaves out the part about our journey through the Spiritual World after death, but skips to the inter-connectivity of our karmic connections as part of the obscure truth about Earth History and The Lord of Karma. So many billions of Souls, all playing important-minor roles in the vast life Drama of The Tenth Hierarchy are meeting constantly and will continue to encounter each other into the future in many different disguises.

And this is sketched in a Cloud Atlas, the examples above and powerfully and profoundly in The Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner.
(Tom)Hanks carries certain expectations with him when hes cast in a role, and for some audiences, they may not be prepared for what he does in Cloud Atlas. I asked if part of the reason they cast him was specifically so they could play against that iconic weight he carries.

Tom (Tykwer) answered, The whole idea of him being the most relevant everyman actor since Jimmy Stewart invited even more this idea that the characters hes playing are having this very particular evolution, the idea that the best of us can come from the worst of us. Hes an evil murderer, but theres this learning process, and meeting this girl once, twice, and then finally realizing hes going to have to change, and when he meets her in the 70s, theres that feeling that even though hes working for the, you know, the evil empire, maybe he can help her. Maybe he can do something better. And then he fails and he dies, and so he comes back as the writer, and do you remember the moment when he sees Halle Berry

206

in the bar, and you think, Oh, there she is! Go! Go! But he doesnt. He decides to do bad instead. He decides to do something very bad and kill the critic instead.

Tom stopped and fixed me with a pointed stare as he realized what hed just said. Well, I dont know how bad you can consider that to be.

Both of the Wachowskis started laughing at that, all of them looking at me, and finally Tom regained some composure and continued. So he keeps going, and ultimately he meets her again in the far future, and he gets to really, really change. He gets to change perspective. He becomes this new being who sees the moral consequences of things.

Our LOVE and our INTUITION, and how we trained ourselves in the Science of The Dramatic Arts will all serve our future and present Karma Cognition so that we may recognize those we have loved in the past and those we shall meet again in the future, who have loved us. This is all part of The Science of Drama and the Lord of Karma, by concrete definition, the working forces of the Risen Etheric Christ Being are fully operative in the present and future ongoing development of our precious humanity. But then we have the kernel of the entire scope and focus of how The Dramatic Arts have the mission to serve the higher cognitive sciences of Reincarnation. We learn how our own special Groups are drawn together and grow together so that these vast connections of souls that we are connected with, are groomed through all of our vivid Life tales, Life stories, an endless, moving panorama capped with an individual LIFE TABLEAU full of secrets (CLICK LINK).

The Perfect film and the Occult Schooling of the Life Tableau
However, when we go through the gate of death our life on earth is followed by a few days in which pictures of the life just ended come before us in a gigantic perspective. These pictures are suddenly there: the events of years long past and of the last few days are there simultaneously. As the spatial exists side by side and only possesses spatial perspective, so the temporal events of our earthly life are now seen side by side and possess time-perspective. This tableau appears suddenly, but, during the short time it is there, it becomes more and more shadowy, weaker and weaker. Whereas in earthly life we look into ourselves and feel that we have our memory-pictures rolled up within us, these pictures now become greater and greater. We feel as if they were being received by the universe. What is at first comprised within the memory tableau as in a narrow space, becomes greater and greater, more and more shadowy, until we find it has expanded to a universe, becoming so faint that we can scarcely decipher what we first saw plainly. We can still divine it; then it vanishes in the far spaces and is no longer there.

Robin Williams and The Final Cut (See film clip)

A Zo Chip is a chip placed in your brain at birth to record your entire life. When you die, the footage from your life is edited into a Rememorya film shown at your funeral pieced together by an editor. A toy for the privileged, Zo Chips are changing the face of human interaction, but there are those who are against this emerging technology, and believe that memories are meant to fade.

Defending your Life Albert Brooks

It is Albert Brooks notion in this film that after death we pass on to a sort of heavenly way station where we are given the opportunity to defend our actions during our most recent lifetime.

After every incarnation a new page is added to the Book of Life Rudolf Steiner (Click Link)
The period immediately following death is of great importance for the human being. It lasts for many hours, even days, during which the whole of the incarnation that is just over comes before the soul of the dead as in a great tableau of memories. This happens to every human being after death. The peculiarity of this tableau is that as long as it remains in the form in which it appears immediately after death, all the subjective experiences of the man during his life are expunged.

Our experiences are always accompanied by feelings either of joy or pain, upliftment of sorrow, in other words our outer life is always associated with an inner life. The joys and sorrows connected with the pictures of the past life are not present in the memory-tableau. The human being confronts this memorytableau as objectively as he confronts a painting; even if this painting depicts a man who is sorrowful or full of pain, we still look at him quite objectively; we can, it is true, discern his sorrow, but we do not experience it directly. So it is with these pictures immediately after death. The tableau widens out and in an astonishingly brief span of time man sees all the detailed events of his life.

208

Separation of the physical body from the etheric body during life can take place only in an initiate, but there are certain moments when the etheric body suddenly loosens from the physical body. This occurs when a man has had terrible experiences, for instance, a dreadful fall or has been in danger of drowning. The shock causes a kind of loosening of the etheric body from the physical body and the consequence is that in such a moment the whole of the previous life stands before the soul like a memory-picture. This is analogous to the experience after death.

Partial separations of the etheric body also occur when a limb has gone to sleep as we say if a hand, for instance, has gone to sleep, the seer can perceive the etheric part of the hand protruding like a glove; parts of the etheric brain also protrude when a man is in a state of hypnosis. Because the etheric body is woven in the physical body in tiny, pinpoint formations, there arises in the physical body the well-known sensation of prickling in a limb that has gone to sleep.

After the lapse of the time during which the etheric body together with the astral body is emerging from the physical body after death, there comes the moment when the astral body, with the higher members, leaves the etheric body. The latter separates off and the memory-tableau fades away; but something of it remains; it is not wholly lost. What may be called ether- or life-substance dissipates in the cosmic ether, but a kind of essence remains and this can never be lost to the human being through his further journeyings. He bears this with him into all his future incarnations as a kind of extract from the lifetableau, even though he has no remembrance of it. Out of this extract is formed what is called, with concrete reality, the Causal Body. After every incarnation a new page is added to the Book of Life. This

209

augments the life-essence and, if the past lives were fruitful, causes the next life to develop in the proper way. This is what causes a life to be rich or poor in talents, qualities and the like.

We share a deeply rich journey of how we learned together, through LOVE, to become conscious coworkers with the Etheric Christ, in the adventure of The Tenth Hierarchy. That kernel, core and Conscious Science of Drama and Karma Cognition is sourced with tremendous resources to review and learn how the Dramatic Sciences work from the House of the Word, from the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland and also from those of us who have been rocked to our foundations by the mystery and majesty of Drama itself. Learning the laws of Drama and awakening the dormant organ of Karma Cognition is the corner stone of the mission of the New Mystery of The Dramatic Arts. In The Four Mystery Dramas, by Rudolf Steiner the first complete Cloud Atlas kernel of following the seed kernel of a Karmic Group through Real History and Real Events, through all that transpires that make our human relationships so important, and so powerful, was achieved.

Lord of Destiny (Ordnung des Schicksaals) The Dramatic Arts Karma Cognition and the reshaping of Human Destiny
The Dramatic Arts awaken in humanity soul-spiritual organs, predisposed but not active so far; in a clearly surveyable and therefore fully justified manner, without ever impairing freedom, it throws light upon that region where otherwise only the more or less blind will dominates. It purifies the will through thinking. The human being who attains more and more freedom discovers within him the capacity ofmoral imagination or moral phantasy as a first stage on his spiritual path. By increasing our human forces, we reach, at a second stage, the ethical experience of sense-impressions (perhaps beginning with the sensory-ethical effects of colors and their AFTER IMAGES. (Study Link Adriana Koulias )

As serious students of the Dramatic Arts we may then decide to devote ourselves, in concentrated activity with our whole personality to the study of re-ordering our destiny. This would be a third stageaccessible through studies in Spiritual Science that outline accurate Karma Research, without the the danger of falling into illusion or error.

Rudolf Steiner brought the mystery of Cosmic Intelligence and the new ART of ordering and reshaping human destiny not only from a universal human POV, but brought specific karmic destinies, examples taken right out of the history of humanity with vividness and clarity unsurpassed, but he also set forth

210

artistically, in his Mystery Plays, characters engaged in such actions and thoughts, who live through corresponding destinies. It was the first time that this was ever done in Literature and The Dramatic Arts.

Two entirely new motifs thus enter Dramatic Art. Cosmic Intelligence, that is, the world-wisdom-filled relationship we have to the Hierarchies that continue to urge and bring forth Truth, Beauty, Goodness to circulate through human thoughts, hearts and will impulses which leads towards the second motif, a vivid Christ experience that not only rests upon Gospel tradition, but which is now dawning in the Science of the Dramatic Arts as a new form of Risen Etheric Christ Experience.

211

The re-ordering and understanding of human destiny on Earth results as the great gift of the Dramatic Arts that reveal some of the more intimate laws of reincarnation, in which Christ is the Lord of Karma.

Both these dynamic motives based on KNOWLEDGE and LOVE, may be found in the first Mystery Play, in fact already in its exposition, where we hear of the truth of lifes return and of the way to live with the

212

awakening of Spirit-Self, and where one of the characters of the Drama THEODORA appears, who proclaims the following first seed of the dawning revelation of the Lord of Karma.

The Christ once lived upon the earth, And from this life it follows That He encircles in soul form ALL GROWTH OF HUMANITY. He is united with the Spirit part of the Earth. But human beings could not yet behold Him As He revealed Himself in such existence, Because their being lacked the eyes of spirit Which shall in future show themselves. But near is now the future When with new power of sight The men on earth shall be endowed, What once the senses saw When Christ trod on the earth Shall human souls one day behold When soon the time shall be fulfilled.
It will be the task of future generations of poets to shape such destinies by viewing them from the standpoint of the spirit and leading them to the spirit. Rudolf Steiner and Spiritual Science inaugurated the Science of Karma Cognition and the great task that await all of us, as spectators or participants in the future of The Dramatic Arts and Sciences.

The

three fates, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos Three Precogs (Precognition reestablishment of the Three Norns in The Minority Report) Three Witches of Macbeth The Three fallen soul forces of Dracula from Bram Stoker. Moving forward and backward in Time connecting past events to current events the Four Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner were the first accurate and dynamic systems study of a vast Karmic Seed Group of TWELVE INDIVIDUALS evolving and moving together through time and history.

Friedrich Hiebel 1937

Lear, the mythical, legendary king, and his three daughters, symbolize the human ego and the three forces of the soul.

Lear (and Gloucester in the by-play) stand in the center of events. On the one side, are the dark characters who follow evil: Goneril, Regan, Edmund, Oswald, Cornwall. On the other side, are the characters who break their way through to the light, to the good: Cordelia, the Fool, Edgar, Kent, the Duke of Albany.

A world symphony envelops Lear. The broken harmony of the three soul-forces, due to the unfortunate division and three-partition of Lears kingdom, has split the world into a higher and into a lower world, into right and left, light and darkness. The very essence of theConsciousness-Soul appears in King Lear, in the form of a mythical mystery-play.

215

Lears two older daughters represent the stubborn, degenerated forces of the sentient soul and of the feeling soul, appearing as hardened pride and flaming jealousy. Everything depends upon the third

daughter,

Cordelia, the

youngest, and Lears favorite. I cannot heave my heart into my mouth, is her answer to Lears question: What can you say to draw a third more opulent than your sisters? Twice she answers Nothing, and Lear, troubled and perplexed, replies: Nothing will come of nothing.

This threefold Nothing is the opening motif of this symphony of humanity. The fact that the souls youthful forces are not recognized, that the element of the Consciousness-Soul is driven away, the only element which lead to a real self-contemplation and to the path of truth and safety, the fact that Cordelia is banished, brings about misfortunes which cannot be checked. Blood-ties lose their power, paternal duties are disregarded, sons and daughters rise up against their fathers, sisters against sisters, brothers against brothers

Shakespeare continues the modern egos descent into hell in Macbeth. This terrible nightmare -drama, this unsurpassed tragedy of an evil conscience, leads us into the witches kingdom. Shakespeare consciously enters the lowest demoniacal spheres. In the witches kingdom every human ideal changes its value: Fair is foul and foul is fair (nine layers of the inner earth studies of the reversal layer everything turns to its opposite (study link here), sing the witches at the beginning of the play.

These three witches almost resemble three unredeemed counter-images of the three soul-forces of man, and Hecate, their mistress, is the counter-force of the true ego. Nevertheless, this tragedy, involving the

216

most fearful journey to hell, closes with a victory of moral law and human conscience.

In his comment for Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts of April 12, 1925 (the last lines which he wrote before his death CLICK LINK), Rudolf Steiner gave the following explanation concerning the path of modern self-consciousness, and these words can be of a great help to us if we study Shakespeares Macbeth: For the development of hisConsciousness-Soul, the human being needs the connection with what pertains exclusively to the earth. When entering into that which pertains exclusively to the earth, he encounters the Ahrimanic. He must bring his own being into a right connection with this Ahrimanic element.

Wearing Prosperos mask, Shakespeare says farewell to his dramatic work at the age of 47. He closes the circle and returns consciously to the images and forces of his early years.

217

Prospero has two spirits who serve him: Ariel, the sylph spirit of the air, and Caliban, the son of the soil,

the son of the underworld, of the witch Sycorax.

We

find in them the forces which are already portrayed in the Fair Youth and in the Dark Lady of the Sonnets. Prospero emancipates himself from these two magical enticing powers, he sends them away, allows them to rule their spheres, and buries his magic wand. Prosperos farewell is Shakespeares farewell to his work, followed, soon after, by his farewell to London, the return to his native town and his farewell to earthly life.

As an actor, Shakespeare was the strongest opponent of Bacon of Verulam. Words which do not expres s physical qualities had no value for Bacon. Words were mere idols for Bacon, idols of the race, of the nation, of the market-place, of science and knowledge, and science was for Bacon a mere spectaculum (a play) of thoughts, of idols. Free yourselves from your idols, from your words this was Bacons message, and it flowed into the philosophy and education of the times which followed.

There is no greater contrast than Bacon and Shakespeare. What a tragedy is contained in the lie of history, which stubbornly sought to prove, for a long time, that these two men were identical!! What a tragedy lies in the fact that Shakespeare, the master of individual faculties, the father and creator of unsurpassed individualities should have disappeared completely as an individuality.

Shakespeares world is the world of his time and of his nation, as Rudolf Steiner once explained in a public lecture which he delivered at Stratford-on-Avon, the 23rd of April 1922, the anniversary of Shakespeares death. Shakespeare stood in the evolution of contemporary drama, he stood in the midst of a world which was seeking a new form of drama, containing something which surpassed ordinary human concerns. Shakespeare entered this world, and, stimulated by the dramatic forces of his time, which man was still able to experience, he surrendered himself to something which was active in such a

218

way that we can feel: The Spirit of the Century works in Shakespeare, and this, after all, is the Spirit of the whole evolution of humanity. Friedrich Hiebel 1937

Karma Cognition and a Cloud Atlas The Composer VYVYAN AYRS - I dreamt of a nightmarish cafe, brilliantly lit, but underground, with no way out. Id been dead a long, long time. The waitresses all had the same face. The food was soap, the only drink was cups of lather.

The music in the cafe was he wagged an exhausted finger at the MS this. (Click Link) This would be the music heard, the lost music of a Cloud Symphony heard and seen of a future event based on the karma between an older composer and a younger composer. The karma event literally rays in from the physics of the higher spiritual development, of a new organ of perception rooted in the deeds of Risen Etheric Christ, Pre-cognition and the workings of The Lord of Karma. Notes from a Cloud Atlas
Exposition: the workings of the actual past + the virtual past may be illustrated by an event wll known to collective history, such as the sinking of the Titanic. The disaster as it actually occurred descends into obscurity as its eyewitnesses die off, documents perish + the wreck of the ship dissolves in its Atlantic

219

grave. Yet a virtual sinking of the Titanic, created from reworked memories, papers, hearsay, fiction in short, belief grows ever truer. The actual past is brittle, ever-dimming + ever more problematic to access + reconstruct: in contrast, the virtual past is malleable, ever-brightening + ever more difficult to circumvent/expose as fraudulent.

The present pressed the virtual past into its own service, to lend credence to its mythologies + legitimacy to the imposition of will. Power seeks + is the right to landscape the virtual past. (He who pays the historian calls the tune)

Symmetry demands and actual + virtual future, too. We imagine how next week, next year, or 2225 will shape up a virtual future, constructed by wishes, prophecies + daydreams. This virtual future may influence the actual future, as in a self-fulfilling prophecy, but the actual future will eclipse our virtual one as surely as tomorrow eclipses today. Like Utopia, the actual future + the actual past exist only in the hazy distance, where they are no good to anyone.

Q: Is there a meaningful distinction between one simulacrum of smoke, mirrors + shadows the actual past from another such simulacrum the actual future?

One model of time: an infinite matryoshka doll of painted moments, each shell (the present) encased inside a nest of shells (previous presents) I call the actual past but which we perceive as the virtual past. The doll of now likewise encases a nest of presents yet to be, which I call the actual future but which we perceive as the virtual future

Currently there is a precise signature to Pre-Cognition and Seeing an event arise in our inner sight that is directly linked Cause and Effect Linked to the Moral forces of a FUTURE EVENT. The FUTURE EVENTS are with precise unfolding Karmic events linked to the future of the Earth.Yes, we could do the right thing as humans, but we seldom do. Humanities unfolding future, like St. Johns unfolding Time Vision of the Apocalypse are tied directly to the real existence of the Lord of Karma, the Christ Being. Examples, indeed. This projecting in from the future and revealing an event to us, that has not taken place yet, but will, is precisely what VYVYAN AYRS experiences in a Cloud Atlas(Click Link). Examples, yes, this New Capacity of Karma Cognition is on the front lines grinding in on us, but most of the population have no idea how it actually works. The Ahrimanic forces know that such a pre cog capacity is latent in the soul life. Ahrimans answer to Pre-Cognition is arming the military and law enforcement to over ride human freedom. Big

220

Pharma has the intent of distorting and disturbing, corrupting and shattering the deeper psychic structure of the human soul. Example (See Link) The Minority Report uses Three Super Psychic

Drug mistakes, produced by Big Pharma, to try to disrupt society and snatch this capacity before it has fully time to ripen. Here the Ahrimanic transformation of theThree Norns and Macbeths Three Pre-Cog Witches attempt to snatch Karma Cognition from the realm of Humanity and the Lord of Karma. Let us now establish the domain of the laws of pre-cognition from the unfolding capacities of the Lord of Karma. The inner psychic structure of every human being has an inner access point which is open to the unfolding revelation of Karma Cognition that is quickly arising from the realm of the Risen Etheric Christ and flowing through all of humanity. The actual forces of the Etheric Body, our mirroring apparatus, creates literal AFTER IMAGES (Click Link Study of Etheric After Images). However these AFTER IMAGES are part of the new developments in Karma Cognition that the Lord of Karma is in command of, for all of humanity. Adriana Koulias
At present morality is, in a certain sense, imposed on people from the outside by way of laws. In the future this will not be so. Enough higher concepts will have been created in the soul to inspire morality purely out of an inner understanding of what morality is and what it is not. Just like we say a square has four sides because we have created the concepts that recognize this inwardly, one day we will recognize morality through moral concepts that shall live in us.

221

I believe everyone who loves someone or who needs to keep their spiritual and karmic friends Etheric Soul Image alive should use a different face than the one I shall offer as a precise objective experience of how the AFTER IMAGE functions. In other words if you have a loved one and you wish to have their spiritual image imprinted into your etheric memory forces, recreate the picture below using your own highest choice. However with this example you will see precisely how the After Image functions. However, there is something much more potent behind this experience. The direct inner connection we have to our Karma and our I AM is accessed via a new vivid capacity that is part of the legacy of the Risen Etheric Christ. That is, the moral compensation-given in a clear cut dynamic event picture, that is deposited into the soul life. Film is one thing and Imagination is another, but to have before our gaze a future event, as it appears almost as a dream picture, will cause immense disturbances if these events are not addressed with our conscious understanding. Here is the abstract exercise, we will then consider concrete instances and applications.

222

Firstly let us find the rule and then we will give adequate examples that lead us to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the shocking disturbances and disorders that will arise when people fail to grasp the deep foundations of the laws of Karma and the Physics of how Dj vu operates in every human being.

The Lord of Karma and the After Image of Future Karmic Restitution After taking part in some action they will withdraw from it, and will have before them a picture which arises from the act in question. At first, they will not recognize it; they will not find in it any relation to what they have done. In the end they will see that this picture, which appears to them as a sort of conscious dream-picture, is the counterpart of their own action; it is the picture of the action which must take place, in order that the karmic compensation of the previous action may be brought about. Thus we are approaching an age in which men will begin to understand karma not only from the teachings and presentations of Spiritual Science, but in which they will begin actually to see karma. Rudolf Steiner
Cloud Atlas can be liked or disliked and that isnt the point. The point is that Cloud Atlas opens the window into the workings of the Lord of Karma in the psychic structure of every human being. It doesnt matter if you like it or not, the laws, like gravity, the physics of the psychic structure of the human being, has an access gateway point that reveals future Pre-Cognition events. It is astonishing what the human spirit is allowed to see and how immortality and vast vistas of time into the future can be witnessed. St. John was absolutely correct. Technically it has to do with our Astral body and how we leave our physical and etheric bodies when we sleep, (note Sleep Disorders) and what we bring with us from the stars when we wake in the morning. Dj vu in its pristine form arises in what is called a waking or morning vision. Technically we can get very precise with Pre-cognition by every evening reviewing our days in reverse order. Starting at the finish of the day and going back through to the start of the day and precisely recall the details of what everyone else experienced and said, not in the least just focused on our own pompous responses, but recalling and listening with deep layers of recollection, what others felt and experienced and understanding the overlooked details we missed. This exercise

223

known as the Ruckshau or Backwards Evening Recall unlocks the Astral World of our own personal Angelic Physics. Our astral bodies and our daily Karma events, that hold the secrets of our destiny, unfold in a triangulation of PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE linked events. However this triangulation always takes

the PRESENT AS THE POINT

of our exit at sleep. While down below FROM

OUR OWN STAR, FROM OUR OWN POV, we look backwards into the Past or equally forwards into the future. We literally converse and consult with our Angels in the editing chamber of the stars. I joke not! We bring the pictures, the rushes in film language of our days shooting, up to our Angels. What we did or didnt do or did or didnt say has reverberating moral consequences into the ripple of future events. These future pictorial events reveal clear cut, absolute concrete pictures, that are absolutely real, but they havent happened yet. And the facts I have described will be the source of vast psychotic PTSD and intense sleep disorders because we have refused to meet our Angel and the Lord of Karma consciously. We get the benefit of film in our daily actual real world. There is science of image production, but this film and cinema development for culture has a much higher task. It is a gift of schooling with a technological basis but it also has a higher level of meaning and spiritual schooling if we know how to incorporate it into our personal lives. On one side we have DEAD COSMOLOGY (See Link) that fails to take up the inner aspect of the Planets and Constellations and on the other side we have the schooling of film science and our connection to our actual Angels. We fail to use our healthy connections to our Angels as our conscious higher schooling of the Soul and Spirit. Our healthy

224

relation to our Angels helps unlock the mystery of PTSD and opens up the inner organ of Karma Schooling and Karma Cognition. However this Cinma vrit that we design our IMAGINATIONS with has a much deeper source. Certainly we have learned editing, poignancy, catharsis, special effects, and we learn to see how motives and human impulses appear within events of human destinies. But that is the surface study, the internal schooling reaches, soars every evening, if we understand the profundity of our astral bodies and I AM, soars into the Stars and directly into the Kingdom of the Angelic Ninth Hierarchy that is intimate to each one of us. Drama and advanced film studies have been rehearsals for understanding a deeper psychic force that exists between our Angels and the Moral Realities of Karma in our individual lives and our individual destinies. The future capacity that is part of the Risen Etheric Christ, which is part of us, is breaking into our self-satisfied, self-absorbed egotism. The unique I AM that awakens in Sonmi-

451breaks through the surface of our intention to disregard, annihilate and standardize our
Singularity. Singularity is an Ahrimanized concept that envisions humanity rushing towards a point where the unique I am will be over taken by computerization of the soul and spirit. The Singularity concepts are presented under Ray Kurzweils ahrimanization of the human spirit (CLICK LINK). We have scoffed at and rejected the most sacred and intimate internal I AM that we all possess. The physics of the human soul and spirit, as St. John fully understood, is a vast Time Revelation. And understanding that Time Revelation is in our immediate and most intimate grasp. The powerful laws of Reincarnation and the Spiritual World are constantly placed in the dumpster in favor of the race to dismiss the relevance of each human being with the more practical, utilitarian service of Fabricants and fallen Devachan technology. Of course cloning is the very height of the debasement of humanity and nature that we are rushing towards. So the individual hard work of Karma Cognition is a 2-way street. The old statement of what goes around comes around should no longer stand as clich in our hazy assessment of comfortably sitting around staring into space thinking is our life a movie or is our life a sit -com? We are in the serious business of Karmic traffic, Earth Evolution, the destiny of our Angels and our individual position within the framework of cosmic development.The rest of the people we love are hindered or elevated by our own efforts in development. Cloud Atlas and The Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner testify together and in accord that humanity will only succeed if each person strives to unlock their higher development.

225

Is there a Science of Karma Cognition? There is. The following will lay out for us a Present Karmic Event and how it connects to a Past Karmic Event. How do we, as striving individuals train ourselves to SEE and experience a PAST karmic event that is suddenly hitting us in the PRESENT? Well now we know the Science, but we have yet to attempt the soul discipline. Oh, maybe you thought this would all be handed to us without effort on our parts. Well that is the entire problem and disaster we are facing. Ahriman wishes to hand everything to us without our inner striving. Our faculties will remain dormant and unawakened. Ahriman will lead us far, far away from the reality of what the human Soul and Spirit are and will become in EVERY INDIVIDUAL HUMAN DESTINY AND EVERY HUMAN BEING. Both Cloud Atlas and The Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner reveal this fundamental spiritual truth.

Rudolf Steiner outlines the Process of locating a Past Karmic Event in the Present
Suppose I have an experience to-day that is karmically caused in a preceding incarnation. I will make a diagrammatic sketch. Here I am, here is my experience, the experience of to-day (right). This is caused by the quite differently-constituted personality in the same I in a previous earth-life (left). There it is. It has long ceased to belong to my personality, but it is stamped into the etheric world, or into the astral world, which lies behind the etheric world. Now I have to go back, to retrace the way backwards.

image 3

226

This retracing a past karmic event can become habit in the Ruckshau but it still requires

a TRIANGULATION

that scans the past and

present and requires a method of approach from the inner discipline and focused forces of our Souls and Spirits. So when we do theRuckshau exercise regularly, we launch ourselves into the Astral and starry worlds of the Lord of Karma and our Angels and often in the mornings we wake with a clear vision of a future event. It is very precise. We recognize ourselves but since the event has not yet happened, we know we havent met those people yet. We see, hear, know the event in precise pre-cognition which is defined as Dj vu when our consciousness is jogged into a faint stirred recollection that we have seen this event before. We recall it, but we hadnt remembered that we recalled it until the moment we walk into it. We think, Ive been here before. With practice of the Ruckshau review, in about a year, you will be pretty good with pre-cognition. Now the secret we are dealing with is upsetting and shocking only to those who wander unconsciously through their destinies. Some victims of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and those with severe sleep disorders and requiring heavy Pharma numbing of the astral body and nervous system, they have seen what is coming UNCONSCIOUSLY. Lets give some concrete examples of AFTER IMAGE Etheric Karma Cognition. Many of these events come back at us because of an immoral, horrific crime, we thought we got away with. It always makes for great detective stories. Who thinks they got away with what-when, and what makes a serial killer or soldier (Click Link soldier PTSD) or a hit and run driver or a bully into a quivering sleepless nervous wreck, is the subject for psychopath studies and extreme, defensive personality nervous disorders.

227

As Lady Macbeths waiting gentlewoman and a doctor observe, the lady walks and talks in her sleep. She rubs her hands together, as though she is trying to wash them. As it turns out, it is King Duncans blood she is trying to wash away. She continues to wash her hands until she is interrupted by the memory of the bell that she herself rang to summon her husband to the murder of King

Duncan:

Out, damned spot! out, I say!One: two: why, then, tis time to dot.Hell is murky!Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? (5.1.35-40)

Lady Macbeth had thought that once her husband was king, it wouldnt matter who knew that they murdered King Duncan, because no one would be able to challenge Macbeths power as king, to call our power to account.

As the sleepwalking scene continues, Lady Macbeth twice more complains that she cant get the blood off of her hands. What, will these hands neer be clean? (5.1.44), she asks, and then she is devastated when she realizes that the blood will never come out: Heres the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. O, O, O! (5.1.50-52). [Scene Summary]

Our Angels and The Lord of Karma penetrate the very core of our I AM, and a disturbing future recompensing, restitution and compensating event is literally written into the karmic scroll and future of our soul and spirit. This creates insomnia and begins a horrible nightmare of severe nervous disorders that progress the more we push the event we participated in, down into our sub- and unconsciousness. Or the more we relish getting away with psychotic behavior, because humanity, Justice, and cognition are too

228

lame to recognize or apprehend us, is the more we dare our Angels to intervene. (Study link of the Severity of the Fall of our own Angels) Or, our very own Angels have been poisoned by our deeds and must fall with the souls they have cared for and nurtured for a hundred

incarnations.

Our Angels sink into us and we use

their higher spiritual forces for our own cunning, cleverness, evil and destructive-pathological behavior.This is the prognosis of the current psychopaths and sociopaths we have elected to rule us. We have the nightmarish fascist wish that our children and un-born generations will also succumb and be ruled by our fallen Angels. Why? Two reasons. One Grotesque powers of the Angelic Kingdom are driven down into our human doubles. Two We are acting out our own and humanities destruction because we crave and have the conceit that we covet the gifts of the divine world but are unwilling to control our instincts and our doubles, our shadows, because we think it should all be done for us. Without our own I AM efforts to rise to the Angelic Kingdom, we pull our Angels down with us into a second more horrific fall. It is this temptation and seduction that WE THE PEOPLE will succumb to. We may forfeit humanities higher spiritual potential for Ahrimans social consumer-animal playground. There are thousands of current PTSD and sleep disorder examples and Pre-Cognition events to choose from. lets look at an AFTER IMAGE of the same horrific deed of murder. We must remember that it is DRAMA that portrayed and foreshadowed both the medical and psychic issues that have become today epidemic and will continue to be marketed and distorted by the bioengineering of the pharmaceutical monopolies. Normal unfolding of our higher human capacities will be looked upon as psychic and nervous system disorders.The concrete realities and physics of the human spirit will be looked upon as an illness. Ahrimanic Pharma is already having a field day destroying and aggravating the human astral and etheric body from embryo to old age.

229

Ahrimanic medical and military torture experts have combined with giant Pharmacological multinational corporations that have all rushed to create a beach-head and covert infiltration network to cut humanity and education off from what we have shown as healthy Karmic and Cognitive forces that are arising in humanity naturally. It is our current battle for who owns the future of our human spirit recognition of the Lord of Karma and the lofty gift of our unfolding spiritual capacities, our freedom; OR will we choose Ahriman and the enslavement of our higher faculties by forcing our children and the un-born future into the fall of their and our own Angels? The Dramatic Arts have not been sleeping through these vital and immediate, battles. AFTER IMAGE
Macbeth goes to sit at the head of the royal table but finds Banquos ghost sitting in his chair. Horrorstruck, Macbeth speaks to the ghost, which is invisible to the rest of the company. Lady Macbeth makes excuses for her husband, saying that he occasionally has such visions and that the guests should simply ignore his behavior.

MORAL

Then she speaks to Macbeth, questioning his manhood and urging him to snap out of his trance. The ghost disappears, and Macbeth recovers, telling his company: I have a strange infirmity which is nothing / To t hose that know me (3.4.8586). As he offers a toast to company, however, Banquos specter reappears and shocks

230

Macbeth into further reckless outbursts. Continuing to make excuses for her husband, Lady Macbeth sends the alarmed guests out of the room as the ghost vanishes again.

Macbeth tells himself that its not his fault that the ghost showed up. He says that men have been killing men for a long time, since before there were even laws against it: Blood hath been shed ere now, i the olden time, / Ere human statute purged the gentle weal (3.4.74-75). Its a natural thing to shed blood; whats not natural is that now the dead rise again, / With twenty mortal murders [deadly wounds] on their crowns[heads], / And push us from our stools (3.4.81)

In my essay on Fukushima Daiichi (Click Link) I show what was very obvious to everyone that Akira

Kurosawas Dreams, where nuclear reactors explode and Japan is irradiated in an horrific tragedy,
was a prime example of Pre-Cognitive Karmic vision of a future event that Kurosawa saw in his soul life. When in the history of Japan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Kurosawa left a disturbing KARMIC DREAM COGNITION of future events he would not live to see, but he had seen them ahead because of his schooling as a film maker and his in depth spiritual connections to the Language and Archangel of Japan itself in all his many films. However every youtube that I placed to show that Kurosawa vision, of the nuclear event, has been censored, removed and forbidden to be shown because it was a chilling example of something that certain giant monopolies of the nuclear industry, enormous Ahrimanic monsters over the globe wish to divert humanity from a study and celebration of the conscious awakening of our higher faculties. That specific section of the film is constantly removed, so I cant show you the film clip but you can see the actual film. The entire series of Final Destination Brand of franchise films are based on instant pre -cognitive future events, during a nap or sleep, where the higher Angel rips a sharp, vivid future, precise scenario, short film sequence, that is bee-lined directly to the inner core of the astral and I AM system of some receptive, unconscious and oops we missed our rendezvous with death soon to be victim. To divert our serious attention from such a cutting edge breaking phenomena, Final Destination films have wrapped themselves in a package of the Astral body and Nightmare on Elm Street styled sleep disorders based on previous karmic events and general shocking box office gore. Recurrent nightmares are the most defining symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder and are associated with other more extreme psychiatric illnesses.

231

Our encounters with War and wholesale murder have brought hundreds of thousands of souls into PTSD, sleep disorder and mental and spiritual imbalance. Suicides currently, currently, as of today, suicides in the military in the U.S. outnumber casualties from the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. This doesnt even measure Depleted Uranium deformities passed down through generations, well after participation with Iraq. It does not count the immense experimental injections that have caused hundreds of thousands of Vets to become incapacitated because of Gulf War Syndrome lethal injections supposed to fight Anthrax or other bio-logical War agents. The U.S. military itself has caused these horrific nightmares. The following old, old, film clip takes us into PTSD syndromes before it even had such a name. Before we grasped that such nightmares and disorientations of the astral body had such profound implications. (Check Link for older B/W study in PTSD) Instead of coming to terms with our Evening Review, or learning to meet our Angels and bringing our Karma back into some sort of Semblance of Order, we rather rush to the loving arms of Pharmaceutical Numbing of our higher faculties, which literally poisons our own intimacy with our Angels. We avoid bringing humanities higher faculties into any healthy educational focus and we condemn our children to Ahrimans catastrophic, current, on -going agenda. THE DRAMATIC ARTS HAVE FORESEEN THIS while our numbed ENTROPY - In sociology, entropy is the natural decay of structure (such as law, organization, and convention) in a social system. Our human striving to have our moral-higher and spiritual systems keep pace with our technology, continues to confront Ahrimans power-bloc of socially co-dependent spiritual entropy.

The Atlas in the Clouds

The Mystery of the Atlas and Roadmap of human Karma and Destiny, A Cloud Atlas prepared before our births

All of us have participated in an Imaginative cult or ritual (Cultus) that took shape in the supersensible at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, when all that the Michael pupils had learned in the supersensible School before, was cast into mighty pictures and Imaginations. Thus were the souls prepared, who afterwards descended into the physical world, being destined through all these preparations to feel the inner impulse to seek for what would work as Anthroposophy on earth.
232

Rudolf Steiner (See Link)

whoever really has the impulse towards Anthroposophy (though it be unconsciously as yet, for men do not know it yet, but they will learn it in good time) whoever has this impulse within him, still bears in his soul the echoes, the after-echoes of the fact that in the circle of Michael he received yonder heavenly Anthroposophy. For the heavenly Anthroposophy went before the earthly. The teachings given at that time were to prepare for what is now to become Anthroposophy on the earth.

Thus we have a double supersensible preparation for what is to become Anthroposophy on the earth. We have the preparation in the great supersensible School from the 15th century onward, and then we have what I have described as an Imaginative cult or ritual (Cultus) that took shape in the supersensible at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, when all that the Michael pupils had learned in the supersensible School before, was cast into mighty pictures and Imaginations. Thus were the souls prepared, who afterwards descended into the physical world, being destined through all these preparations to feel the inner impulse to seek for what would work as Anthroposophy on earth.

Think of them all! The great teachers of Chartres took part. They, as you know from my last descriptions, have not yet come down again, but they sent out before them those who worked above all in the Dominican Order, having held a kind of conference with them at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. All these souls afterwards came together again those who with fiery lips had declared ancient and sacred teachings in the School of Chartres, and those again who had wrestled in the cold and clear, but heart-devoted works of Scholasticism, to master the true meaning of Intelligence. All these were among the hosts of Michael, learning the lessons of the School which I have indicated.

We have this School of Michael, and we have the great Imaginative ritual at the beginning of the 19th century, of the effects of which I have also spoken. Then we have the significant fact that at the end of the eighteen-seventies the dominion of Michael began again. Michael prepares once more to receive, down here on earth, the Intelligence that fell away from him in the intervening time. Intelligence must become Michael-like again. We must understand the sense of the new Age of Michael. Those who come today with the inner urge to a spirituality that already shows such Intelligence within it, as in the Anthroposophical Movement, are souls who are already here at this day according to their karma, to pay heed to what is taking place on earth in the beginning of the Age of Michael. But they are connected with all those who have not yet come down again.

I shall sketch an incarnation tracking from the Atlas in the Clouds, the road-map for incarnations that includes Andy and Lana Wachowski and German directorTom Tykwer and my own incarnation track out of Chicago. Why Chicago? My own karmic opportunities presented themselves in a curious,

233

confused manner out of Chicago. It also appears that the Wachowski Siblings had something special, they had each other to confer and confirm something that is much deeper down, when we have to find it and dig it out of our cosmic tracking and navigation. What did we bring with us from the Spiritual World and what is it we sought to discover on our path through destiny? This never amounts to a pre-conditioned, fully paved, yellow-brick-road of straight forward destiny stages that seem obvious to anyone. Tom Tykwer born in Wuppertal at least was somewhat close to the name Rudolf Steiner. There is a fine Waldorf School, a Rudolf Steiner School inWuppertal (see link). However there wasnt much of that in Chicago or the outskirts of Chicago where I grew up. I didnt attend a Waldorf or Rudolf Steiner School. So if we enjoy nerve wracking adventures where we have to find the deeper trails that our I AM sought and where they lead, we finally come to the Theory of a Cloud Atlas that conjoins several generations of vital, seeking, contingencies of Souls, over the whole world, in all sorts of Karmic Conditions and all sorts of Karmic Cognition, but with an underlying theme which as the saying goes, We Know Them By Their Works!

Those who come today with the inner urge to a spirituality that already shows such Intelligence within it, as in the Anthroposophical Movement, are souls who are already here at this day according to their karma, to pay heed to what is taking place on earth in the beginning of the Age of Michael. But they are connected with all those who have not yet come down again.
Leo Strauss made his escape from Weimar with a Poison Platonic Pill, this age-old Aristotle and Plato pathology and true Platonists, like myself, sought an assignment and were given a tracking, hunting field that placed me in the wilds of the outskirts of Chicago, but born in Cook County Hospital. First jolt, Mother murdered. Adopted into the family of my Great Uncle with a stable, humble, life out by the lakes and woods of Fox Lake and McHenry Illinois. Platonism and Leo Strauss and the School of Michael were pieces of a gigantic puzzle directly out of the fantastic FALSE FLAG of the burning of the Reichstag, Leo Strauss out of Weimar, brought his Poison Plato Pill to Chicago. Weimar was a place both Michael and Ahriman have taken a great interest in. If Ahriman was to do battle with incoming Platonist he needed his own horse in the race. Ahrimanic Intelligence knew full well what Michael Intelligence hoped to achieve. Michael Intelligence plunges into Freedom and human Consciousness with an awakening power. Ahrimanic Intelligence

234

gathered souls inclined toward materialism and nursed them unconsciously and instinctively toward spinning Platonism away from the Michael School, while bringing massive disorder into human Karma.
Strauss believed that societies should be hierarchical divided between an elite who should lead, and the masses who should follow. But unlike fellow elitists like PLATO (See Link), he was less concerned with the moral character of these leaders. According to Shadia Drury, who teaches politics at the University of Calgary, Strauss believed that those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right the right of the superior to rule over the inferior.

Who knew? Who was Plato? Where was Plato? Well that is part of the Cloud Atlas tracking system. No, it wasnt Leo Strauss, but Leo would gather to himself, and host a whole school of Ahrimanic Plato despisers, and Plato betrayers. Ahriman is literally gathering together his own earthly school to oppose Michael. Ahrimanic beings worked as unconscious instincts and gathered souls with his Ahrimanic signature and leanings into a pre-emptive attack against the School of Michael. Souls arriving from the Michael School -Cloud Atlas- along with their Angels were organizing and aiming to arrive on the Earth and enter into incarnation. Once incarnated, sorting out life on Earth, drug culture, university materialism, Ahrimanic patriotism and nationalism, sorting through heredity issues, addiction issues, propaganda and brain washing issues and getting to the core of our true destiny direction, what we brought with us from the spiritual world, is a daunting, twisting, turning, psychological roller coaster ride. Leo Strauss gathered around him the Neo-Con school of Ahrimanic opponents, opponents of anything to do with the Michael School, and he gathered some intense political misfits who heard in their souls the echo of Ahrimanic Platonism. These misfits were attracted in their instincts to the weak points of Platonism and how Platonism could serve Ahriman. But Chicago also had a Nobel Prize winning Platonist who connected directly with Rudolf Steiner, Saul Bellow. He was invited to the Goetheanum by Hagen Biesantz (19241996). Hagen Biesantz played a significant role in my own arrival at the Goetheanum as well. From 1966 Hagen Biesantz was trying to get the pulse on the new generation of Platonists and Aristotelians who were arriving out of the School of Michael, gathering as many as possible, and moving as many as possible towards the rediscovery of their own Michael School impulses. Biesantz had a dynamic personality and had a real connection to everything from the Beatles to the musical Hair.

235

Hagen Biesantz was a member of the Executive Council of the General Anthroposophical Society and also leader of the Art Section. He spoke easy English, was enthusiastic and daring. We had a good relationship and he enjoyed some of our more experimental theater endeavors that we tried out at the Goetheanum when I was in school there. Hagen didnt miss a beat but invited the Nobel prize winning Saul Bellow to the Goetheanum. Saul Bellow (click link)
In the early 1970s, novelist Bellow discovered anthroposophy, the spiritual science developed by Austrian thinker Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). According to Bellow biographer James Atlas, the wiseguy Chicago writer regularly attended Windy City sessions of the Anthroposophical Society, kept a photo of Steiner on his desk, practiced Steiners meditation exercises, bought his bo oks by the bagful, and pursued the Steiner scholar Owen Barfield for further illumination. Charlie Citrine, the Bellowish protagonist of the future Nobel laureatesnext novel, Humboldts Gift, could be found intently studying Steiners Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment in a Madrid hotel room.

The road-map of the Cloud Atlas includes what we would rightly call The School of Athens problem. What did Raphael the painter know and when did he know it? If true education was the ability to follow the track of Plato and Aristotle to their next incarnations, huh? Wouldnt that be something? So who was Plato? Where was he? The Neo-Cons who gathered around Leo Strauss were interested in two things.Leo Strauss (see link) came out of Weimar. Goethe, Nietzsche and Rudolf Steiner all came out of Weimar. A large Ahrimanic group of souls were on assignment to bring about the most powerful false flag in Western History.This Ahrimanic Group Incarnation were on assignment to create diversions that would destroy humanities higher potentials. And the beat goes on. The Neo-Cons gathered around Leo Strauss because they were to spear-head the gigantic surge of Sorathian Events that were cresting towards the year 1998.They were to bring disorder into Karma and find for themselves the recognition through their own destiny paths in politically deadly Ahrimanic super-cells, strategic Ahrimanic think-tanks that would clearly and intuitively recognize those who brought Fallen Spirits of Darkness with Them into their psyche (see link). Make no mistake, it was and IS today a devastating field of conflict we are in. So the problem becomes rather clear. If you attended the Cloud Atlas Michael School, you had the assignment to find the core mystery behind The School of

236

Athens.

If you were the Neo-Cons who gathered

themselves around false Platonism, your assignment was to smash any airy -fairy liberalism and idealism connected to the magnificent vision of The School of Athens . In thisRaphael/Novalis vision (Absolutely Clink Link), humanity could once more unite wisdom (SOPHIA) together with Plato and Aristotle, and achieve Anthroposophia. The Wachowski Siblings out of Chicago, also brought this sub-Angelic and Fallen Angelic vast conflict we are engaged in with them into incarnation. THE MATRIX and V FOR VENDETTA and CLOUD ATLAS are sharpened works aimed at a punch back at the School of Ahriman. These are startling works that carry the surge of a new generation of sharp clarity and a whole new wave of strategic defense offered for the benefit of humanity. The works of the Wachowski Siblings are cutting edge tools that penetrate deep under the skin of the dragon. The Siblings were bound to stay together and support each other and keep their karma and their Angels secure during the rough ride into incarnation. The Wachowski Siblings are critical idealists whose intellects span the depths of materialistic brilliance to the heights of the potentials that uplift our humanity. Orwell who delineated a living profile of Ahrimanic psychology on the Earth, its style and intent, could not have produced more informed or enlightened pupils. Ahrimanic Materialism has established its brand-name and virtues on the Earth but the majority of souls fail to get a clue. In this vast School of the Cloud Atlas millions were given the task to pursue a new revelation of education that would inspire humanity to ascend to a crystal clear vision of its future. But destiny, Art, and the clues of intuition are Angelically subtle. Our clues require us, all along the path, to build our sense of clarity and intuition on the solidity of our own freedom and and the objectivity of the soul and spirit. This, as Hamlet says, is the rub.

237

The Michael School knows its own and the Ahrimanic School knows its own. There are distinct psychic signatures that identify them and they oppose each other only in the context of extreme materialism vs the Science of the Spirit. Yet each of the two vast contingencies participated in massive shattering events in the Spiritual World before either of the two groups found themselves reincarnated. In the case of the Ahrimanic fallen Angels, Angels that are separating themselves from the future progress of humanity, (which appear clearly in Cloud Atlas) have been reassigned to continue their blistering attacks against humanity. Ahrimanic Beings attach themselves to the sub-intellectual structure that is nourished on cold, calculated cunning and cleverness without conscience, instincts without moral science. Incarnation is not easy. So let us dispel the issue of Plato. A great sorrow or a great awakening of just how difficult incarnation is to any of us, especially those of us who are Platonists, strikes us when we learn the destiny of Plato. Will the idealism of humanity hold through Platonism without the anchor and structural strength of Aristotle?
Through his literature tutor, Karl Schrer, who opened his mind to Goethes importance, Steiner was offered what must have seemed the chance of a lifetime. At 22, he was headhunted as the editor of Goethes scientific writings for a major edition of the great mans work.

We really have three major Greek spirits who, like any of us here now, dont necessarily recognize each other. Arent the same age, arent friends on FB or tweet and twitter, they dont attend the same university or share the same football team interests. Everyone has to discover the secrets of Karma Cognition for themselves. Whatever sparks it, it resonates with the interior of the I AM and recognizes humanity as The Tenth Hierarchy. Karl Schrer had the difficult assignment of being literally the I AM of Plato in a former incarnation, but unable to lift that recognition into consciousness and join Aristotle in the unfolding of the mystery of The School of Athens for the 20th and 21st century. Here is an issue. Platonism will be lamed unless recognition arises in the Platonists with inspired strength.
Steiners work on Goethe opened many doors. One led to Weimar, Goethes cit y, where he was asked to work on the Goethe Archive, another prestigious task. Although Steiner found few congenial colleagues, the work had other compensations. He was introduced to the citys literary and cultural life and made many acquaintances. One in particular led to a momentous meeting. Elizabeth Forster Nietzsche, sister of the ill-fated philosopher (and herself a rabid anti-Semite), approached Steiner to work with her in

238

establishing a Nietzsche Archive. This led to Elizabeth introducing Steiner to her brother, who had been insane some claim from syphilis, although this has been disputed for several years.Elizabeth had taken to dressing the defenseless Friedrich in a toga, and positioning him by the window, where his blank stare and unkempt appearance provided the impression of a great prophet. Steiner, aware of Nietzsches madness, was nevertheless impressed not with the figure before him, but with its spiritual aura. He saw Nietzsches soul hovering over his head, infinitely beautiful in its spiritual sight It was a soul that brought from former lives on Earth golden riches of great spirituality If mention of Nietzsches soul brimming with golden riches of great spirituality suggests to readers familiar with the author of Beyond Good and Evil and The Antichrist that Steiner was as ignorant of Nietzsches philosophy as his sister Elizabeth notoriously was, they should have a look at Steiners book Friedrich Nietzsche: Fighter for Freedom (1895), a remarkably perceptive study which at times actually reads like Nietzsche. Throughout his career, Steiner had an uncanny knack of entering into and defending the ideas of thinkers with whom he had profound disagreements like the staunch materialist Ernst Haeckel a critical sympathy that often led to much misunderstanding.

When his work at Weimar was ending, rather than embark on an academic career (Steiner had received his doctorate in philosophy during his stay and could easily have found a comfortable niche somewhere), he decided instead to move to Berlin, home of Germanys nascent avant-garde.

Through my incarnation in Chicago I found my way to theater in New York by the time I was 18 1/2 years old. Andy Warhol, Hair, LaMaMa 1968 and all the cultural forces of experimental theater in front of my eyes, I started to write and direct as well as perform in Off Bway productions, films, t.v. commercials. I got launched to London with one of the Off Bway plays by Tom Eyen and from London I was invited to the Goetheanum. I had no idea about Leo Strauss or what a guy like me was doing with ELEVEN other artists all invited to the Goetheanum in Dornach Switzerland.

TWELVE OF US FOUND OURSELVES ASSEMBLED TOGETHER AT THE GOETHEANUM. I was out of my league, over my head. Here I arrive in Dornach, Switzerland certainly not the center of underground or avantgarde theater, experimental or cutting edge theater. However it was the central mystery location for the future forces of The Higher Mission of the Dramatic Arts. It was the central point of revelation for the Arts and the center of the cutting edge insights of the Michael School. I landed in 1972 like an abandoned waif dropped on the doorstep of some modern uncharted Cathedral.

Abstract
A disturbed sleep pattern, nightmares, and anxiety-filled dreams form a cluster of symptoms belonging to the DSM- IV diagnosis of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. A psychotherapeutic group approach aimed at reducing these symptoms was undertaken in the form of a workshop. The workshop was not a regular part of the treatment program, but an experimental endeavor, offered to the patients during special occasions in the year (around holidays). The therapist was primarily interested in investigating possibilities for improving the quality of sleep and influencing the patterns of recurring anxiety-filled dreams and nightmares. The method has both structured and psychodynamic elements. The work carried out during the dream group was embedded in the total treatment program. This was crucial to allow personal themes to be continued in the regular treatment program.

In 1973 the Studio moved to Willoughby and was renamed The Harkness Studio, thus associating it with Alan Harkness who pioneered the very beginnings of experimental theatre in Australia. Work continued at Willoughby and later at Cremorne supported by Dennis Glenny (improvisation and drama), Graham Dixon (drama) and Robin Labron-Johnson (Speech, Drama and Greek Gymnastics). Both of the latter completed their diplomas with Mechthild.
My first meeting with Robin Labron-Johnson, in his words: This takes me back when I first saw you in Steiner House, London, where I was struggling in the London School of Speech Formation [ can't you hear the grinding of teeth and the chewing!] with Maisie Jones and you were upstairs all colorful covered in beads and long hair straight out of Woodstock and you wanted to join the Anthroposophical Society and Cecil Harwoods secretary who we called the dragon, all in black stood in your way and then Cecil came out and signed you up there and then.

Then there was darling Jean Lynch (Jean Lynch a true Rosicrucian I refer to her in part 1 (see link) who taught us her special way of eurythmy: she had a very hard time with Marguerite Lundgren who was a bit of a martinet and Jean was quite poor. We clubbed together and bought her a moped so she could travel back and forth from the Christian Community where I think she had a room. She was brilliant and it was fun! Not some awful Germanic thou shalt do zis like so! way.

There was the Red Buddha Theatre up at the Roundhouse with Stomo Yamatsu. That was an experience. I think you had been living in Dormillouse, in France. Then Dornach, and we met up again. I used to visit my Dutch gypsy friend, who had a room next to you Swiss frugality, one room divided into two who I was in love with, the beautiful Petronella and we used to listen to Neil Young. Those were the days.

Christopher Marcus

Christopher Marcus trained at the Crama Centre in London and, later, at the Goetheanum in Switzerland, before establishing his own theater group, Theatre of the Word. Since 1985, he has worked fulltime as a director specializing in mystery theater, and has written several plays. His productions include Teniko, Gilgamesh, The Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Passion of

Kaspar Hauser, Hamlet, and many others, including Steiners mystery dramas.
Christophers ministry (see link) is built on the foundation of 34 years of research into and the practice of Spiritual Theatre based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. As a director and teacher he has taken performers from all walks of life and diverse disciplines on a path of spiritual development

245

through the Mystery of the spoken Word. This work has led him to the borders of what can be called entertainment, and to the core question of what it means to be ones true Self. Going through the portal of ordination at the Interfaith Seminary has been the answer to his search for authenticity, enabling him to help others come closer to themselves through the discipline of Spiritual Counselling. This process creates the container for deepening ones relation to The Divine through ritual and ceremony as well as nurturing the wonder of human interaction in the intense group work offered by the seminarys curriculum. Christopher is married with three children and lives in the Forest of Dean.

Deborah Morris (no current picture)

Remarkable in reviewing the journey of my fellow karmic companions, Herma Reeskamp and Deborah Morris find themselves doing very similar exploratory regions of Theater and Therapy. Deborah has as well a Eurythmy training and musical background. Like Herma Reeskamp she has worked with psycho-therapy and theater. Deborahs husband, Francis, was a violin maker student when we were in Dornach together. (see link ) Francis now has his own studio where he makes violins. This unique interesting career takes us back into the second essay on our 100 years of Eurythmy study, that is the link to the Vowel sound UH and Saturn study (Click Link) where I examine violin construction, and the resonating tonal structure of the 1st Goetheanum. Sound Construction and the film THE RED VIOLIN are studied in the link to the second essay. My son, Silver, (both Christal and Silver were in Dornach at the Goetheanum with Susan and I) Silver for the longest time lived in Great Barrington where Deborah and Francis had their home and violin studio. My son has only recently moved to Washington State. It is largely due to both Deborah Morris and Penelope Snowdon-Lait that my family and I survived at all in Dornach. These two, Penelope and Deborah fought the hardest to make it possible that I could complete my training in Switzerland. My family and I owe them both a tremendous Karmic THANK-YOU BOTH shout out.

Graham Dixon (See Link)

The Great Russian actor, director and teacher Michael Chekhov related to the famous playwright Anton Chekhov gives his final testament on Theater and The Art of Acting personally from his lecture hall in Hollywood, California. To the last year of his life he Was Konstantin Stanislavsky Greatest Disciple. He went on to further and even surpass his Masters Techniques and ideas. He

246

incorporated world

philosophy and spiritual ideas called Anthroposophy

into his Art. He accidentally stumbled upon the famous German Philosopher Rudolf Steiner, and met him for the first time a few years later. This was as close as one could get to personally knowing Rudolf Steiner himself. One of his greatest pupils, Chekhov quietly continued his Anthroposophical Theater Work up until his death. Some of Chekhovs many students include Anthony Quinn, Gregory Peck, Jack Nicholson, Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Jack Palance, Anthony Hopkins, Elia Kazan, Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper, and Yul Brynner. Chekhovs colleagues, friends and associates include Sergei Rachmaninov, Max Reinhardt, Stella Adler, Edouard Schur, Alfred Hitch, and Marie Von Sivers Marie Steiner.

Karin was born in 1941 in Basle, Switzerland. After completeing her eurythmy training with the Rudolf Steiner School at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, Karin did stage work in Dornach and Berlin. She later undertook speech training in Dornach and subsequently toured as speaker for eurythmy productions in several European countries, including Russia and Ukraine. Included in her credits are anthroposophic therapeutic speech (ATS) practitioner with patients in the Ita Wegman Clinic, Arlesheim, Switzerland; tutor in ATS training in Dornach and Stroud, England; and ATS teacher in the Ukraine.

Lets further examine a clue of the significance of Rudolf Steiner. You know humility is a magnificent quality. What was in store for us and what was in store for the Michael School, if we wer ent to have

Plato at the side of Aristotle? What then? Would Aristotle alone be challenged to take up the burden of Michael Intelligence? We are inheritors of the wide flow of human inspiration that has spread itself out over time, inspiring souls still unborn, and those that are even now churning out revelations and budding potentials. Shall we find them and recognize them before it is too late? Might we learn to recognize certain specific events and specific signatures that reveal the great conflict between Michael and Ahriman taking place? So here is one of those signature events that draw a spiritual line in the sand. We have to learn to read such events. Just as we have to learn to read about Leo Strauss and true Terrorism that has arisen through Ahrimanically inspired human beings who are directly opposed to knowledge of Reincarnation that is brilliantly illuminated in a Cloud Atlas. The opposing Ahrimanic/Orwellian signature is meant to rob humanity of their higher Intelligence and Freedom. Ahrimans brutal signatures, psychopaths and sociopaths ruling in the political sphere, business sphere, education, science, a culture described clearly in V for Vendetta were all started with the cunning deception of initiating False Flags.Particularly the date of the Reichstag false flag carries a powerful signature that coincides with the birth of Rudolf Steiner. Ahriman carves a bloody claw into the face of history just at the dawning date of the Rise of the Etheric Christ and Lord of Karma in 1933. Ahriman will do everything in its power to oppose Karma Cognition and the awakening of healthy pre-cognition. Ahriman will oppose with pharmaceutical astral poisoning the healthy development of the higher faculties of humanity.
On the night of Feb. 27, 1933 the Reichstag building was set on fire. At the urging of Hitler, Hindenburg responded the next day by issuing an emergency decree for the Protection of the people and the State, which stated: Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.

Finally through Virginia Brett and Hagen Biesantz (19241996) I completed my training in Speech and The Dramatic Arts in 1980 and graduated from the Goetheanum. I went straight to Spring Valley N.Y. or Chestnut Ridge as it is called and met up with Peter Menaker,

248

another Chicago born native. It was invigorating, we were both young and enthusiastic and Peter at 29 was the Golden Boy. He had a wonderful family and he was marked for greatness. He was going to be the Administrator for the Threefold Community. His sterling reputation and solidness was set to lead the charge of bringing the Anthropsophical Society together, with an emphasis on young people flowing into the society. Hopes and plans were all moving in the right direction. So Peter and I directed, acted, taught, performed and spoke for Eurythmy in the beautifully designed Theater and Lecture Hall of Spring Valley New York. Peter and I put together a three character play by Yeats called At the Hawks Well (see Link). I brought Julie Portman from Tufts University into our cast. (See Link) She was a Professor of Drama at Tufts and she was also trained in the Indian Dance, Kathakali. Julie had gone to India to train with masters. I knew from seeing Eurythmy and her work with Kathakali that the various forces of thinking feeling willing and Warrior and Priest and Poet, that the movements were part of how the Threefold

249

structure of the human being was first perceived in ancient times. It was powerful to see and showed the ancient roots of Dance and how Eurythmy arose out of the mysteries of the Threefold Human Being. Julie was our Guardian of the ancient Well from At the Hawks Well. Peter Menaker was the Old Man at the Well and I was the young man. We had found our way to an ancient Celtic Island where the mystery of immortality had to do with drinking from the Well before the Guardian of the ancient Spring could destroy us. Who ever drank first gained the inspirations of knowledge and immortality, the loser would die. The Old man, Peter Menaker had been waiting for years at the well and then the young warrior shows up. The upstart, me playing the mythic Irish/Celtic hero Cuchulain.
The Old Man and the young quest adventurer Cuchulain seek the same thing: a drop of the wells sacred waters, which grant immortality. The Old Man has wasted his life waiting for a chance to imbibe eternal life, and scorns his fate; Cuchulain arrives cockily, feeling that fortune is on his side. A dormant she-hawk protects the wells prowess.

Peter and I circled the Well doing the Cosmic Eurythmy gestures, theTWELVEFOLD gestures of the New Mysteries

250

and Julie Portman did the ancient, threatening, intimidating Kathakali. It was both a lesson in Eurythmy and how actors could use these magnificent gestures as well as Eurythmy students. Peter and I were both Speech Instructors for the Eurythmy students who studied at the Threefold Community. Peter and I were experimenting with delving back into the ancient gesture of India and showing the metamorphosis of the higher valuation of the Eurythmy Gestures from the Constellations. We didnt use the vowels, but we did use the circle that surrounde d the Sacred Well, so that Peter and I were on opposite sides and circled together through theCosmic Eurythmy gestures and Signs of the Zodiac using the various Consonant and Eurythmy movements. It was magnificent. We toured the piece through New England. We got back for our last performance at the Threefold Auditorium. Well we were all magnificent, if I do say so myself. It was a magnificent experiment in Cosmic Eurythmy Gestures, the Eurythmy Consonants and the ancient pagan origins of Dance.

251

Then the oddest Karmic Event happened. Peter died of a Heart Attack, on the spot, immediately following our performance. It was shattering. I was grief stricken. The entire Threefold Community was lifted off its hinges and dropped like a stone. One individuality, lik e Peter Menaker, who had graduated from the Goetheanum, was as solid as a rock and fully prepared to do everything possible to keep Spiritual Science revved and alive in the U.S.. He was Dead at 29 1/2 years, 30 years old, with two wonderful children, his wife and the profound impulses of Anthroposophy and Spiritual Science blossoming upwards like a rose in his soul. He crossed the threshold of death immediately after our performance of At the Hawks Well Everything changed, Saturn Karma had spoken.(Understanding Saturn Karma See Link) Karma had spoken in my soul as well. I wended my way once again through New York City, teaching, opening up an Arts Center in lower Manhattan and was finally invited to Atlanta, Georgia to inaugurate my own production company. Tragedy is a curious awakener. My Chicago karma had reached a crescendo and it felt like part of my whole world had also shattered with the death of Peter Menaker.

Strader: (In all three 100 years of Eurythmy essays so far, we have looked into the depths of Straders karma SEE LINK)
And all these folk, why do I find them here Within thy darksome realm?

Ahriman:
Tis but as souls That they are in this place: they do not know Aught of themselves when here, since in their homes Sunk now in deepest sleep they would be found. But here quite clearly all will be revealed That lives within their souls, though they would scarce On waking think such thoughts could be their own. So too, they cannot hear us when we speak.

Louisa Fear-God:
The soul should not in blind devotion think That it can raise itself in haughty pride Up to the light, or that it can unfold Unto its full extent its own true self. I will but recognize what I do know.

Ahriman (audible only to Strader):

And dost not know how bluntly thou dost lead In haughty pride thyself into the dark. She too will serve thee, Strader, in the work That thou hast wrung so boldly from my powers. She doth not need for that the spirit-faith Which seems so ill-accorded with her pride.

Frederick Clear-Mind:
Entrancing are indeed these mystic paths; Nor will I henceforth fail in diligence, But give myself completely to the lore That I can gather from the Temples words.

253

Michael Nobleman:
The impulse after truth within my soul Is drawing me toward the spirit-light; The noble teaching which now shines so clear In human life, will surely find that I Am the best pupil that it ever had.

George Candid:
I ever have been deeply moved by all That hath revealed itself from many a source Of noble mystic spirit-treasuries. With all my heart would I yet further strive.

Ahriman (audible only to Strader):

Such men mean well: yet doth their striving stay But in the upper layers of their souls.

And so can I make use for many years Of all these mighty treasures which lie hid

254

Unconsciously within their spirits depths. They too seem useful to my constant aim That Straders work in mankinds life on earth Shall with proud brilliance unfold itself.

Mary Steadfast:
A healthy view of life will of itself Bring to the soul the fruits of spirit-realms When men join reverence for the universe To a clear view of sense-reality.

Ahriman (audible only to Strader):

She speaks in dreams of this reality; Shell dream so much the better when she wakes. Yet she will be of little service now. Perchance in her next life shell help me more, For then she will appear as occultist And as need may arise will teach mankind About their life since first the Earth began. And yet she scarce will treasure truth aright; In former lives she oft did Strader chide And now she praiseth him: so doth she change, And Lucifer will be more glad of her.

Francesca Humble:
The sacred mystic realm shall one day make Mans being truly a harmonious whole, When thought through feeling shall express itself And feeling let itself be led by thought.

Katharine Counsel:
Unkind, tis true, doth strive to see the light; But strange indeed the methods he pursues, For first he quencheth it, and is surprised That he can find it nowhere in the dark.

255

Ahriman (audible only to Strader):

So too with souls: they find it good to talk

As voicing the well-being of their mind, But underneath they fail in constancy. Such are for me quite unapproachable, And yet they will in future much achieve From which Ill reap a harvest of good fruit. They are by no means what they think themselves.

Bernard Straight:
If knowledge is not gained through cautious search Then fantasy brings nought but airy forms To solve the riddle of the universe, Which only can be mastered by strict thought.

Erminia Stay-at-Home:
The cosmic substance must for ever change That all existence may unfold itself; And he who fain would keep all things the same Will lack the power to understand lifes aims.

Casper Hotspur:
To live in fantasy, doth only mean To rob mens souls of every power in life Through which they can grow strong to serve themselves And do true service to their fellow men.

256

Mary Dauntless:
Souls that would stunt their own inherent strength May let external powers mould their life True man will only seek development From his own deepest personality.

Ahriman (audible only to Strader):

It is but human what these souls conceal. One cannot tell what they may yet achieve; For Lucifer may try his power on them, And make them think they are but working out Each his own powers of soul with steadfast aim; And so perchance he hath not lost them yet.

Ferdinand Fox:
He who would cosmic riddles rightly read Must wait till understanding and right thought Reveal themselves through powers within his life, And he who fain would find his way aright Must seize all he can use that gives him joy. Above all else the search for wisdoms lore To give high aims to weak humanity This leads to nothing on this Earth of ours.

Ahriman (audible only to Strader):

He hath been chosen as philosopher, And such he will appear in his next life With him I do but balance my account. Seven of twelve I ever need myself And five I give to Brother Lucifer. From time to time I take account of men And see both what they are and what they do.

257

And when I once have chosen out my twelve I do not need to search for any more. For if I come in number to thirteen The last is just exactly like the first. When I have got these twelve within my realm And can through their soul-nature fashion them, Then others too must ever follow them.
(To himself holding his hands over Straders ears so that he shall not hear.)

True, none of this have I achieved as yet, Since Earth refused to give herself to me. But I shall strive throughout eternity,

258

Until perchance I gain the victory.[1] One must make use of what is not yet lost.

(The following so that it is again audible to Strader):

Thou seest I do not flatter with fine words, Indeed I do not wish to please mankind. He who would inspiration seek for lofty aims In speech well-regulated and arranged, Needs must betake himself to other worlds. But, who with reason and a sense for truth Perceives the things which here I bring to pass, He can acknowledge that it is with me The powers are found, without which human souls Must lose themselves whilst living on the Earth. The very worlds of gods make use of me, And only seek to draw souls from my grasp When I grow active in their own domain. And then if my Opponent doth succeed In leading men astray with this belief That my existence hath been proved to be Unnecessary for the universe, Then souls may dream indeed of higher worlds, And strength and power decay in earthly life.

Strader:
Thou seest in me one who would follow thee And give his powers to thee to use at will. What I have witnessed here doth seem to show That all that makes mankind thine enemy Is lack of reasons power and strength of mind. In truth thou didst not flatter with fine words; For thou didst well-nigh mock these poor weak men When it did please thee to portray their fate. I must confess that it seems good to me What thou wouldst give unto the souls of men,

259

For they will only be enriched with strength For what is good through thee; they will but gain The bad from thee if they were bad before. If only men did better know themselves They must for certain feel with all their hearts The bitter scorn that thou dost cast on them. But what is here wrung forth from out my soul? I speak such words as would destroy my life If on the Earth I found that they were true. Thou must so think; I cannot otherwise Than find that what thou hast just said is true; Yet tis but truth when in this realm of thine

260

It would be error for the world of Earth If it prove there to be what it seems here. I must no further trace my human thoughts Within this place-they now must have an end. In thy rough words there soundeth pain for thee, And they are painful too in mine own soul. I canwhilst facing thee but weep and cry

ADDENDUM 1 The Science kernel of the highest goal of The Dramatic Arts, the science of Karma Cognition has been kept AS IS at the Goetheanum. I worked as a Stage Hand for the productions when I was a student at the Goetheanum. I participated in viewing these massive full productions several times through as an audience member. I studied and took notes and helped bring these performances back to the United States. Today, we have the artists and research groups that could take the Four Mystery Dramas and flesh them out as historical novels. That is partly why I have been impressed with the Book Cloud Atlas. The Mystery Dramas, rightly so, have been preserved with a museum curators care. As artists and graduates from the Goetheanum many of us have experimented with different methods of presentations. To track and flesh out in novel form and than reverse the process from the novel to the magnificent special effects in film, the outstanding journey of THE FOUR MYSTERY DRAMAS, loaded, jam packed, with the Science of the Spiritual World, the Science of actual Karma events through history, the accurate tracking of a Karma Group through Time, has waited, not exactly dormant, but held fixated as one of the highest treasures of Drama the World has seen. So to historically elaborate a full book and novel of the tracking of these twelve individual through time, each with their stories, filming those locations and those times and places and the experiences of the Spiritual Worlds that moves along with them through the unfolding of time with the unfolding of Cloud Atlas, THE FOUR MYSTERY DRAMAS (CLICK LINK FOR MYSTERY DRAMA STAGE PERFORMANCE IN ORIGINAL GERMAN) could be and are nearly ready to step out of the museum of Initiation Science and the Science of Drama and Karma cognition into the laps of the viewing public. ADDENDUM 2 The Indigo Girls Galileo gives a rousing nod to considering Reincarnation. Anyone who evolves properly begins to comprehend that Reincarnation is the very thing that is left out of the mix of our confined, restricted and conditioned education. The Science of Reincarnation is not some new age bounce around from insect to butterfly to human. On the contrary, human beings are a category of beings who carry an I AM and are part of the Tenth Hierarchy. Be uplifted, get an earful of a little Reincarnation Theory. (Click Link) ADDENDUM 3 JENNIFER ANISTON, who is of Greek descent, spent a year of her childhood living in Greece with her family, but relocated to New York when her father landed a role on the daytime drama LOVE OF LIFE. She had her first taste of acting at age 11 when she joined the Rudolf Steiner Schools drama

262

club. Aniston said: I was always fascinated by acting, but my experience at Rudolf Steiner encouraged me to pursue it as a career. She added: Steiner was a free-spirited school that encouraged creativity and individualism. Her experience at the Rudolf Steiner School also helped Aniston develop a passion for art. At age 11, one of Anistons paintings was selected to be on display in an exhibit at New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art. German actress Floriane Daniel attended Rudolf Steiner Schools and got a taste for acting and the arts. Karoline Herfurth went to a Waldorf school in Berlin and graduated from Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts. ADDENDUM 4 Part of the genius of the Matrix (SEE LINK) is its correspondence with the indications given by Steiner concerning the nature of Christs Second Coming, that it is not in another outward physical form that we can expect him, but within the depths of our own selves, as we begin to awaken to the Christ within, and begin to ascend in our consciousness to the level which he already occupies. According to Steiner it is Ahriman who physically incarnates, as Anti-christ to entrap those who think that salvation lies outside of themselves. (6) For a long time NEO is also unable to believe fully in himself. NEO is not The Christ, he only wakes up to the Christ within himself, and this is the great power of the film, for the illusionary world of the Matrix, where the powerful are as manipulated as much as the powerless, is not some fantastical world, but our own every day world. In this way the film points to the fact that enlightenment is to be found within our own self, and as such it is very self-empowering. It is a call to a generation to begin to wake up.
