Awful Steiner schools

Oliver "AnthroBlogger" RautenbergHinterlasse einen Kommentar

“I went to a Rudolf Steiner school—they’re awful. They’re still around,
these experimental schools that started in the 1920s, no grades, no real
classes. It was all knitting and beeswax-making—shit like that. Then
after my parents got divorced, I had to go right into public school in
the fourth grade. The Steiner school had never really taught me how to
read, so it was a rude awakening. I was playing catch-up the whole time.” (Justin Theroux)

Steiner-Schulen? Auf keinen Fall!

Oliver "AnthroBlogger" RautenbergHinterlasse einen Kommentar

“X.: Ich finde, wie die Dinge liegen, den Namen Waldorfschulverein nicht mehr richtig. Man sollte einen „Verein zur Gründung von Rudolf Steiner-Schulen" haben.

Dr. Steiner: Das darf auf keinen Fall sein.

X. (spricht weiter): Ich will damit kundtun, daß es sich um ganz bestimmte Schulen handelt. Den bisherigen Namen halte ich für schädlich.

Dr. Steiner: Ein großer Teil der Gegnerschaft beruht auf der einseitigen Betonung des Namens. Sie werden sehen, daß es noch in viel ausgesprochenerem Maße herauskommt. Ich weiß zu erzählen, wie Aufsätze, die ich daund dort anonym habe erscheinen lassen, angenommen wurden, und wie die Sache sofort umgekehrt worden ist, als der Name daraufkam. Man kann eine andere Firma haben. Der Sache wird nicht genützt durch persönliche Namengebung.“ (Rudolf Steiner)

Weak spirits have to cut their fingernails

Oliver "AnthroBlogger" RautenbergHinterlasse einen Kommentar

“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

Oliver "AnthroBlogger" RautenbergHinterlasse einen Kommentar

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.”

Brain matter is bowel matter

Oliver "AnthroBlogger" RautenbergHinterlasse einen Kommentar

“What is brain matter? Brain matter is simply abandonded bowel matter.  The brains premature segerations pass through the guts. The content of the bowel is indeed related to the brains content.

If i were to talk bizarrely, i would say, an advanced dungheap is what is spreading in the brain; but its quite correct.” (Rudolf Steiner)

We must tell children about Atlantis

“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)
