Barack Obama «Die Mitte Europas ist ein Mysterienraum. Er verlangt von der Menschheit, dass sie sich dementsprechend verhalte. Der Weg der Kulturperiode, in welcher wir leben, führt vom Westen kommend, nach dem Osten sich wendend, über diesen Raum. Da muss sich Altes metamorphosieren. Alle alten Kräfte verlieren sich auf diesem Gange nach dem Osten, sie können durch diesen Raum, ohne sich aus dem Geiste zu erneuern, nicht weiterschreiten. Wollen sie es doch tun, so werden sie zu Zerstörungskräften; Katastrophen gehen aus ihnen hervor. In diesem Raum muss aus Menschenerkenntnis, Menschenliebe und Menschenmut das erst werden, was heilsam weiterschreiten darf nach dem Osten hin.» Ludwig Polzer-Hoditz Die sieben Zeitgeister und die zwölf Weltanschauungen Inhalt «Zeitgeist» ist ein viel gebrauchtes Wort.

  • Chapter Three a Call to Mindful Action
    Chapter Three A seed is planted … A Call to Mindful Action In this chapter I will trace the origins of Steiner Education in Europe, its context and its emergence in Australia. From out of the ash destructive fires, sprouting seeds and green shoots emerge. (Korobacz 1988:1) I gaze out onto the street. It is unusually empty and quiet. Nothing is happening. Not even the dogs are barking. I am in Ubud and its Nyepi day on the Balinese religious calendar. On Nyepi the world expected to be clean and everything starts anew, with human beings demonstrating their symbolic control over themselves and the life force of the world. I had arrived on the eve of the festival unprepared. Even the automatic tellers were closed and there was nothing to eat. Fortunately food had been prepared the previous day and a simple nasi goreng (fried rice) was brought up to me for breakfast. What to do? I organise my writing table, I may as well commence work. I look out over the straw-coloured rice fields. Not a working duck in sight! A breeze ripples over the stooped and heavy-laden heads of rice. Over and against this peaceful scene I contemplate the chaos and turmoil in the Europe at the time my parents were born. Following the Armistice of November 11 1918 and the ensuing collapse of the Central Powers and with the Allied blockade still in effect, economic and social chaos ensued. In Germany, the growing ranks of the unemployed were swelled by the return of disgruntled soldiers from the Western Front and because of hunger and destitution, 114 many were driven to join active revolutionaries of many persuasions, of the right and left.

  • CC Nov Dec 2018.Spub
    November/December 2018 CAMPHILL CORRESPONDENCE “Rose“ circa 1947 by Shirley Seagren Schwartz (1929-2007) Let us move now from the practical how to the theoretical why: Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says, "love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies—or else? The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. By Martin Luther King.

Boletín53 Editorial Apreciado Socio/a, Este Boletín, está conformado por un interesante Dossier sobre Agroho- meopatía. Ha sido por casualidad que podamos contar con el profesor Radko Tichavsky, una de las personas que más está contribuyendo al desa- rrollo de la homeopatía para los cultivo y para las plantas. Creemos que es un profesional con unas ideas que van muy en la línea que seguimos en la escuela; y, además, es un tema poco desarrollado a nivel bi- bliográfico. Es por esta razón, que estamos muy contentos de poder contar con la posibilidad de organizar un Seminario sobre Holohomeopatía para la Agricultura, los próximos 23 y 24 de Julio. Estamos seguros que será una buena oportunidad de conocer a este maestro. Esperemos que nos pueda aclarar las dudas sobre la utilización de los remedios homeopáticos para la mejora y el rendimiento de las plantas. Hemos incluido también la biografía del matrimonio Kolísko. Fueron discí- pulos de Rudolf Steiner, pionero en la utilización de los remedios homeopá- ticos para las plantas; sus ideas de biodinámica son aún, hoy en día, de máxima actualidad. Los estudios de los austriacos Eugen y Lili Kolísko, y, posteriormente, de cientos de investigadores más, marcaron una línea científica en agrohomeopatía. Reciban un saludo.

  • Introduction to Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein's Persephone Play
    Introduction to Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein’s Persephone play The Persepkoneia play, published for the first time in these pages, comes from the literary estate of Ita Wegman (1876-1943). It was originally written around Easter 1930 for the international youth camp to be held in August that year at Stakenberg in Holland. Two versions are in existence: 1) a handwritten version in Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein’s handwriting, and 2) a typescript. Remarkably, Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein took turns in the handwritten version; two thirds were written by Ita Wegman, with 5 passages in Stein’s handwriting in between, on two occasions changing in mid-sentence. I found these undated manuscripts in Arlesheim in 1981 when I was planning the biography and sorting through Ita Wegman’s papers. The typewritten text carries a note by Dr Hilma Walter: ‘summarized by Dr Wegman1, which suggested that it was a revision or summary of an existing text. I was unable to find out anything about Ihis, however; Dr Walter was no longer alive and Madeleine van Deventer had never heard of the play. To date, there has been nothing to indicate that Wegman (and Stein) based themselves on an existing text On the other hand the history suggests that this is an original work by Ita Wegman, and that Walter Stein worked on it as well. The play is also remarkable in so far as there are no other known literary efforts by Ita Wegman.1 Later a systematic search of Ita Wegman^ correspondence brought to light a letter Dr Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven (1893-1961) had written to Ita Wegman (dated May 1930), in which he discusses the play in some detail.

  • Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories Before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions
    Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Working Paper 13-024 August 28, 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Geoffrey Jones Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Harvard Business School August 2012 Abstract This working paper examines the creation of the global natural food and beauty categories before 2000. This is shown to have been a lengthy process of new category creation involving the exercise of entrepreneurial imagination. Pioneering entrepreneurs faced little consumer demand for natural products, and little consumer knowledge of what they entailed. The creation of new categories involved three overlapping waves of entrepreneurship. The first involved making the ideological case for natural products. This often entailed investment in education and publishing activities. Second, entrepreneurs engaged in the creation of industry associations which could advocate, as well as give the nascent industry credibility and create standards. Finally, entrepreneurs established retail stores, supply and distribution networks, and created brands. Entrepreneurial cognition and motivation frequently lay in individual, and very local, experiences, but many of the key pioneers were also highly globalized in their world views, with strong perception of how small, local efforts related to much bigger and global pictures. A significant sub-set of the influential historical figures were articulate in expressing strong religious convictions.
