    The Fairy Tale Sleeping Beauty and the Year 2020 by Richard John Fraser Cooper

    The Fairy Tale Sleeping Beauty and the Year 2020 By Richard John Fraser Cooper Who has not been taken aback by the unprecedented events of this year? Going forward, we are undoubtedly in a time of change, but what kind of change, and what may be learnt from times of change that have gone before? Much can be learnt when we more deeply question the events of one hundred years ago and see the movement of spiritual history in relation to 2020. Rudolf Steiner has drawn our attention to looking at history through the lens of 100 years. Each 100- year phase carries 3 x 33 1/3 years within it, to make a total of one hundred. Steiner showed how the rhythm of 331/3 years mirrors the life of Christ on earth, from birth to crucifixion and resurrection. It is therefore important to explore how we may reconnect with what was initiated 100 years ago, in its positive and negative aspects, to gain insight into mankind’s struggle toward the Christ impulse. 100 years ago from the ominous outbreak of the Coronavirus Crisis in 2020, the official implementation of the Treaty of Versailles was signed on the 10 January, 1920. The Treaty, enforcing reparation payments on Germany for its war guilt, was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the historical events that would later unfold; notably, the rearmament of Germany leading to the Second World War and the world order that would later emerge after 1945. Quite aptly, the signing had taken place in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, in Paris, France, being rather symbolic of an elite struggling to pursue their own national and established political concerns separated from any of the spiritual implications of the decisions before them.
  • Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper ______

    Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper ______

    Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper __________________________________________________________________________________________ HARRY COLLISON, MA (1868-1945): Soldier, Barrister, Artist, Freemason, Liveryman, Translator and Anthroposophist Sir James Stubbs, when answering a question in 1995 about Harry Collison, whom he had known personally, described him as a dilettante. By this he did not mean someone who took a casual interest in subjects, the modern usage of the term, but someone who enjoys the arts and takes them seriously, its more traditional use. This was certainly true of Collison, who studied art professionally and was an accomplished portraitist and painter of landscapes, but he never had to rely on art for his livelihood. Moreover, he had come to art after periods in the militia and as a barrister and he had once had ambitions of becoming a diplomat. This is his story.1 Collisons in Norfolk, London and South Africa Originally from the area around Tittleshall in Norfolk, where they had evangelical leanings, the Collison family had a pedigree dating back to at least the fourteenth century. They had been merchants in the City of London since the later years of the eighteenth century, latterly as linen drapers. Nicholas Cobb Collison (1758-1841), Harry’s grandfather, appeared as a witness in a case at the Old Bailey in 1800, after the theft of material from his shop at 57 Gracechurch Street. Francis (1795-1876) and John (1790-1863), two of the children of Nicholas and his wife, Elizabeth, née Stoughton (1764-1847), went to the Cape Colony in 1815 and became noted wine producers.2 Francis Collison received the prize for the best brandy at the first Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society competition in 1833 and, for many years afterwards, Collison was a well- known name in the brandy industry.

  • The Corona Crisis

    The Corona Crisis

    The Corona Crisis Some reflections by Kees Vendrik, 10 April 2020 The Corona Crisis The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in many countries around the globe is impacting societies profoundly. In the past few weeks, governments have proclaimed different restrictive measures from social distancing to an overall lockdown of social and economic activities with the aim – at least - to slow down the speed of spread of the virus. These containment policies are ultimately intended to avoid sudden and uncontrollable increases in the number of sick people and the demand for (intensive) care for people with frail health, which cannot be matched with adequate supply. Nobody knows if and to what extent these policies will be successful soon. A vital question is what level and intensity of social isolation is now requested: a total lockdown or a differentiated approach. Governments are setting policies almost daily. In China and a few Asian countries like South Korea restrictive measures have been softened, enabling people and business to resume activities. These countries are an exception. In many countries public life as we know it has come to a standstill, with empty streets, trains and offices, closed shops and schools and social life that is increasingly taking place via digital channels. It feels like a ‘Sunday-morning economy’. As the OECD recently said: ‘These shocks bring a double whammy: a halt in production in affected countries, hitting supply chains across the world, and a steep drop in consumption together with a collapse in confidence.’ Indeed, global value chains of many manufactured goods have been instantly disrupted.

    Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section

    Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section Easter 2015 FOREWORD Dear newsletter readers, dear colleagues I started as the new head of the Section for the Performing Arts in January. This means that I now have the opportunity to meet people, to get to know initiatives and to take a new look at many situations. I am eager to see what will develop and curious to discover more about the quality of Section life, whether individuals in their own community feel that their work is part of the Section or not and what kind of collaboration and support is needed today. In any case I want to ask all of you to get in touch at any time to let me know your suggestions, your wishes and requests, your criticisms: I am simply curious! Every ‘newbie’ is also given the opportunity to question the status quo in a quite new and perhaps ‘stupid’ way, so I am letting you know that the newsletter from the next issue will change in appearance. In exchange with Silke Kollewijn, Hanna Koskinen, Michael Kurtz and Marcel Sorge we have for now come to the following decisions: The newsletter will continue to contain: • substantial contributions relating to aspects of eurythmy, Creative Speech and music • reports with a broad, long-term perspective (and that will therefore still be of interest in years to come) • some biographies of those who have died • current discussions on themes relating to specific subjects • questions about the Section: what are the different ideas of the Section? How does the Section live? What can we share with each other on this theme in the forum that this newsletter offers? The newsletter will no longer contain: • appointments and announcements.

    Peter Selg El Misterio de la Tierra https://dasgoetheanum.com/schwerpunkte/2020/3/27/das-mysterium-der-erde La pandemia del Coronavirus no surge de la nada. Una manera de interpretarla es ver en ella la respuesta de la Naturaleza a la falta de conciencia ecológica en la sociedad moderna. Es una llamada de la Tierra pidiendo un cambio. Hay científicos con sentido de responsabilidad que reconocen que esto es así, al igual que se puede comprobar mediante las indicaciones dadas por Rudolf Steiner. ________________________________________ En la edición de marzo de la revista ‹Monde diplomatique›, la periodista científica estadounidense Sonia Shah, autora del libro "Pandemic: Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond" (Pandemia: Rastreando los contagios, desde el cólera hasta el Ébola y más allá , Nueva York 2015(1)), escribió un notable artículo titulado "¿De dónde viene el coronavirus? Se trata, dice la autora, de "reconocer que nuestra creciente vulnerabilidad frente a las pandemias tiene una causa más profunda: la destrucción cada vez más rápida de los hábitats". En su contribución, Shah informa sobre los patógenos de los siglos XX y XXI que han surgido en gran número, desde el VIH y el Ébola hasta los coronavirus, y describe las circunstancias de estos acontecimientos. Describe cómo muchas especies abandonan sus hábitats destruidos y se acercan a los asentamientos humanos, transmitiendo los patógenos ("El Ébola es un buen ejemplo. Se han identificado varias especies de murciélagos como transmisores del virus. Un estudio realizado en 2017 mostró que los brotes del virus eran más frecuentes en las zonas de África central y occidental donde recientemente se habían talado bosques en gran escala.
