The Christ-element in the Chemical-elements

LIMESTONE AND SILICA
​
Projective geometry provides us with a mathematical illustration. One can think of the surface of a sphere as having two possible origins. The usual concept pictures it as an equal expansion from a central growth-point. Every point on the circumference thus has a static connection with the centre. This concept underlies all our building, the statics of a house, the stability of the physical universe.

The Old Testament Study - King Solomon, by Rev. Michaël Merle

Reported by John-Peter Gernaat
​

Solomon was anointed King by Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet: Priest, Prophet and King, borne by three separate people at that time. He was given the task of making visible in the world the place that would be the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant would be kept, until this could transfer from being a place in the temple to being a place in the human constitution.

Theosophy and Petition
a review by Bridgette Siepker

“As human beings we call the highest thing that we can look up to “the Divine” and we must imagine that our highest aim and calling have something to do with this divine element.”

Theosophy, by Rev. Michaël Merle
Reported by John-Peter Gernaat
​

This is an overview of what Rudolf Steiner understood by the term “Theosophy” and what we can understand by this term. Rudolf Steiner wrote a book titled “Theosophy”. It is not the aim of the module to cover the entire book. The aim is to form a picture that will enable everyone to begin reading this book and then be able to place the book in context through the process of the weekend.

Petition, by Rev. Michaël Merle
Reported by John-Peter Gernaat

The Tarot by Rev. Michaël Merle
reported by John-Peter Gernaat

This is a two-part series of talks delivered on 14 and 21 August 2022.

The first thing is to establish a historical context for the Tarot. There is evidence throughout human history of the use of objects in the playing of games. These include playing cards and the moving of objects on a board of some description. But there also existed what were considered to be sacred cards that had a purpose in some form of ritual. These sacred cards carried symbols that had a deeper meaning and may have been restricted for use to priests and initiates.

Growing Point by Alfred Heidenreich

‘In the sharing of … experiences and the gradual working out of an image of man, the universe and God based on these sources of experience, the Community finds its unifying force. It is obvious that in this process the teaching of Rudolf Steiner, who penetrated in his own way into the unseen world where our real I has its being is of inestimable value. But neither Steiner’s nor anyone else’s teaching past or present plays the part of ‘doctrine’ in The Christian Community. Strictly speaking, there is no doctrine.
