“Spiritual Streams in Romania” (A central part of the later written text to the lecture from Friday 24th February 2017 in Bucaresti, Romania) Dirk Kruse This weekend we want to look on the cosmic laws and forces into the social processes. In our lecture now we want to connect it with the actuality of the Romanian spirit. Anthroposophical seen, out of the zodiacal and planetarian we find the background for any science. We can say the mental or astral soul-reality of existence is the planetarian reality and the pure spiritual reality of existence is the zodiac- and fixed star reality. The stars which we see are only the little physical part of it! Our soul- and spiritual realities are the cosmic realities! So we can understand why we come to the core of individual- and social life with such theme. A main esoteric order in all individual and social impulses on earth can be seen in spiritual streams, that live in this inner realities, in this cosmic world. This spiritual streams are on earth connected with high developed initiated man, which have gone through so much development and sacrifice that they ripened to become so-called Masters or Bodhisattvas. And here we should not forget that as part of the evolution we have also evil antistreams, as challenging forces that help us at last to overcome them and have as result a higher ripeness, which Steiner described the first time in history in a very exact and differentiated form. About them we partly worked in our training-course at the fifth meeting when the issue was conflict- management and dealing with obstacles and the evil. In 2017 we have to face this forces in international politics more direct again! Someone now may think: What relevance do have Bodhisattvas with today’s social reality? But if we see that the core of the social impulses are the inner cores of man and of social organizations, then we can find quick to the background of spiritual streams. We have both, good and evil spiritual streams, which as the true inner fountain and force in the inner intentions behind the social strivings among people and groups are working, the good ones need a higher ideal and striving of man, the evil ones are gratis! We should see that like a pictorial truth- every fountains and man and organizations which work out of them, more or less conscious - all around the world and here in Romania. Because of the special international recognition of Romanians young protests and protesters, that seemed to be an exception in the worldwide growing news about nationalistic symptoms, we can combine our weekend-theme with the big social organism, -psychism and – pneumatism of Romania. Steiner said little symptoms in history are more important for to see the true history then the catchy big powerplays. Is maybe the mood in the young romanian generation more important than that of Donald Trump? Looking back on our fine Folkspirit-of -Romania-Work from October 2012 to April 2013, we can remind, how we could grasp the very specific empathic character of the Romanian spirit. The following Spiritual-Organizational-Development-Work since autumn 2013 until now was also 1 understood as a tool to work more out of the true Romanian Spirit – always meant non- nationalistic, the country seen as an individualized empathic voice in the international choir! Something from the true Romanian spirit appeared to the world in February 2017 In this looking onto the scripture of this time, it seems Romania is calling one more time to be seen! So let’s try to deepen somehow here insights. A short look on the situation today in the beginning of 2017 with Trump-Primitivity in the West, growing nationalism in the Middle European countries, hardened mood in the Russian east, corruption-mood in Romania and young people with fantasy full and empathic Europe- open demonstrations here in Bucaresti and all over Romania. The Board picture (see next picture) shows at the left side main words to the typical etheric, astral and spiritual impressions we can have from Romania. On the right side we see main tasks of the needed social healing that’s needed in Romania and – sure – worldwide. In the middle we see a try to bring into picture something from the main imprinting spiritual streams of Romania - as I can grasp it, out of our work and out of many concrete observations over the last 10 years. In the center we see the try to characterize the Skythianos-Path of seeing and working with that what goes from eternity to eternity. It will be described more now. The circle in green shall characterizes the Master Jesus stream with it’s strong togetherness of brotherhood and individual striving. Then we see the foggy grasping clouds and manipulative- and pulling-down dragons from down-under, a no-good cloud that, as we see, cannot overwhelm the brotherhood and the consequent walking through the middle. On the right we have the symbols for the Buddha-Stream and the Rosicrucian-Stream. 2 Not to forget: Above we see the rays of that what comes from zodiac-area as a spiritual inbreathing, what we have to do, when we work in an inspirational way in a social pneumatism. Pneumatism as an in-breathing of inspirations, ideas and higher motivation. As an example: We talked about this daily in-breathing in a greeting-practise every morning and evening – this is already and inspirational act. And then we practiced again and again this inspirational in-breathing through wards a calm meditative communication – with stepds like this; 1. a good prepared question, 2. time to contemplate on it, 3. deep listening to the outspoken content of everyone that speaks then – and 4. the inner completing time of recalling what has been said really. And in the left on the board we see the names of the archangels of the planets, which is in a reality experience able first as a deep world of soul force coming from the whole planet area, not only from the little physical planet. This basic soul force, mostly of every planet, is living in the social psychism, in the soul- and process-interactions – which can happen in the high form of a social warmth sculpturing - as Joseph Beuys named it. So we see here in the upper part how the spiritual streams are going through the social realitys, how they work in a social organism in its pneumatism and psychism. Also we see below how it’s attacked all the time from Dragonclouds, that – at last – can help to resist and go on more upright, more clear, more connected in brotherhood too. On the left side then – from the board it’s right - we see the main sentences for the spiritual-, astral- and etheric character of the Folkspirit of Romania – as we found it on that three weekends. Spiritual: Christlove with an embracing gesture, Astral: mild empathic and mystical sensitivity, Etheric: horizontal wide and eternal airiness. See here: Seeing this strong easy carrying and playful etheric specialty of Romania is impressing me again and again when I step out of the airplane coming from Germany, where all seems much more compact than in Romania. And then driving through Romania we can recognize so much sweet soul mood playing over the land. Experiencing this reality can be painful at last: Over the huge fertilizer-fields of industrial agriculture you can already see the emptiness, the soul is gone – this you find sadly so much in Germany too. Now astral emptiness it’s enlarging over Romania too. See the reality: They steal your Soul, they will make your country empty – the 3 many fine soul-atmosphere will fade, beginning over this big fields. The diversity of butterflys, but concrete the sweet diversity of Elemental beings, also many christic Elemental beings are dying forever. We see it like with bound hands. Do we ask: Who is binding our hands? And why? If we could see more the truth of the soul of our countries we would react quicker. Seeing it is like as if we see the most wonderful soul of a child – and see how they cut out it’s soul in front of our eyes – so you have to do something! I don’t talk here of overdoing the care for a country or primitive nationalism - that’s no answer, never - I speak about starting social healing, a healing that starts with honoring and leads to organizational and ecological development. It’s is possible, because we have medicaments, we have methods worldwide, that work. Methods worked out by Steiner, by Otto Scharmer, by Frederic Laloux, methods of Spiritual Organizational Development. So on the right side on the board from us we see the main – here a bit programmatic – sentences of what we worked on, as a base for a Social Healing in our Spiritual Organizational Development courses in four tasks: 1. Working out of healing spiritual fountains, 2. working out of spiritual communication, 3. working out of healing times and process-methods, 4. working out of healing physical spaces in our buildings and rooms and in nature, out of inspiring nature-spaces too. If we want to come to healing social processes we need more concrete: 1. a work out of healing spiritual fountains - in the higher selves of the individuals, - in the group-spirit, - in the Genius Loci. We have to find with this 2. to a healing communication with deep listening, silence, imaginative-, inspirative- and intuitive awareness – and we need 3. to embed this in enough healing times with methodical processes, planned early for the days, the weeks, the month and the years in our organisations.
