Heads are round beacuse the universe is round

“But mans head is being generated by the whole universe.

It also is an image, an effigy of space. The reason why it is round on top is, because its shaped in the likeness of outer space.

All of the starry sky acts upon the skull. This is not a fantastic idea.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Kidneys from Jupiter

“In reference of what is evolving in the mothers body, people are so stupid as to say: That is caused by fertilization.

When my lung is built, the head received the power to build the lungs from outer space. Specially when the kidneys are built, man received powers from outer space, from Jupiter for example.

Well, these are not fantastic ideas.” (Rudolf Steiner)

The expectant mother and the hanged man

“Of course, when a pregnant woman, say, takes a walk in the woods and finds someone that hanged himself in a tree and is already dead – if he is still twitching its even worse – she will be terribly startled.

She will probably give birth to a child that is pale, has a pointed chin, has meager extremities and is hardly able to move.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Bored mothers and horseshoeheads

“There are children that are born with horseshoeheads, Hydrozephaly. 

You can in most cases revert this to the fact, that the mother was terribly bored in the first weeks of pregnancy.

Because boredom drains the head, the empty head also drains the abdomen. The abdomen does not develop tautly enough. The head will swell, become a horseshoehead.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Tiny men, created by celestial bodies

“We are made of numerous tiny men. Our big human is just a centralization of plenty of small men.

The next thing i will show you is, that inside of the eye there also is a tiny man. The nose also is a tiny man. And these tiny men are held together by the nervous system and form the complete man.

And all those tiny humans are created while man is still in a seminal state in the mothers body, by the influence of the celestial bodies.” (Rudolf Steiner)
