Pregnant women should not read negro novels

“Yes, i for myself am convinced, that if we receive another number of negro novels, and pass them to be read by pregnant women, you dont have to see to it that negroes come to europe, that mulattoes are generated;

just by reading negro novels a whole number of mulatto children is created in europe, who are all gray, have mulatto hair, that will look all mulatto-like.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Blacks suck up light and warmth from space

“Those blacks in africa have the nature to suck up all the light and wamth from space. They consume that. And that light and that warmth in space can not pass through the whole body, because man always is man, even when he is black.

It does not pass through the whole body, but stays on the surface of the skin, and then the skin itself turns black.” (Rudolf Steiner)

The whites are the ones that develop humaneness

“When the Negroes emigrate to the west, they can not gather as much light and warmth as they did in africa. So they turn red as copper, become redskins. That results from being forced to reflect some of that light and warmth.

This then glows copper red. They can not resist that. This is why the redskins get extinct in the west, in turn become a race that is ceasing to exist, dying of their own nature, that is receiving too little light and warmth, dying out because of the mundane.

The whites are actually the ones that develop the humaneness inside of them.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Weak spirits have to cut their fingernails

“Man is in opposition to the outside world. The soul-mind strives to constantly absorbe him. 

This is why we are flaking off, chipping off all the time.

And when the spirit is not strong enough, we have to cut off pieces, like fingernails; because the spirit, infiltrating from the outside, desires to primingly destroy them.”(Rudolf Steiner)

Amphibic humans and fire breath

Dr. Steiner: “There you have the old amphibians and reptiles, that is where man in his outer shape is still like jelly; he is merely created amphibic.”

X.: “But there still is the fire breath!”

Dr. Steiner: “But these beasts do breathe fire, Archaeopteryx for example.”

X.: “So those animals seen in museums these days, they were still breathing fire?”

Dr. Steiner: “Yes, all those that belong to the dinosaurs, they belonged to the tertirary.”

We must tell children about Atlantis

image

“We show, that the british isles have risen and fallen four times. That is where we come back to the term of old Atlantis, in a geological way. That can be determined by the layers.

So we try to put these things into context, but we must not resile to tell children about the old land of Atlantis. We must not skip this.” (Rudolf Steiner)

The child needed its death underneath the moving van

“So the child was dead. The outer, materialistic view could say: Well, by accident the moving van tilted over at this hour, the child got underneath it and got squashed. From a spiritual view, this is utter nonsense.

Because what we have got here is the childs karma, and the childs karma guided every single circumstance. It also guided the moving van just in the hour, in which the child needed its death; because the childs karma wanted it this way.”(Rudolf Steiner)
