The flying cars of Atlantis

“The Atlanteans had appliances which they would – so to speak – heat with plant seed, and inside of them the life force would turn into technical force.

Thats how their floating vehicles were propelled. These vehicles travelled at a height lower than that of the mountain ranges of the Atlantean period, and they had steering mechanisms by the aid of which they could rise above these mountain ranges.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Mercury as a cure

“Mercury is one of the cures, that in times, where you had instinctive medicine, was an accepted medicament. But what does the healing, when you have to recieve a mercuy treatment because of syphilis?

It exactly heals as much, as is inserted into the blood in the proper dosis.  Exactly that much does the healing.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Hopping negro dances

“The other day i went to a book store in Basel, and found the latest assortment of books that was to be printed: a negro novel, just like negroes slowly migrate into the civilisation of europe in general.

Everywhere you find this enacting of negro dances, hopping of negro dances.

But we already have this negro novel. It´s extremly boring, ghastly boring, but people devour it.” (Rudolf Steiner)
