Broken Vessels

The Spiritual Structure of Human Frailty (Cw 318)

Übersetzer: Hahn, Gladys

Beschreibung

Today we hear much about holistic medicine and its integration of body, mind, and spirit. According to Steiner, true healing is impossible unless it includes every dimension of a human being -- both visible and invisible. To meet inner frailty with truly adequate concepts, Steiner describes specific inner structures of both healthy and unhealthy states that escape ordinary perception. Topics include sleepwalking, "hyperliteracy, " and the visions of St.Teresa of Avila. He suggests ways to approach misalignments of abnormal inner structures and psychic difficulties, using what he calls "pastoral medicine" -- holistic healing that brings together body and soul and helps them function in effective and powerful ways.

Autor

Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. Steiner termed his spiritual philosophy anthroposophy, meaning "wisdom of the human being." As an exceptionally developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern, universal "spiritual science" that is accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unbiased thinking. From his spiritual investigations, Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of numerous activities, including education (general and for special needs), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, Christianity, and the arts. There are currently thousands of schools, clinics, farms, and initiatives in other fields that involve practical work based on the principles Steiner developed. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of human beings, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods for personal development. He wrote some thirty books and delivered more than six thousand lectures throughout much of Europe. In 1924, Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches around the world.
