Rudolf Steiner's Great Lectures Has Me As Impressed As When I Started on My Health Journey with Ray Peat

I share what I posted to my viber group:

Good afternoon, I would like to share with you an exhaustive series of talks given by Rudolf Steiner made about a hundred years ago. These recordings are very interesting to listen to, if only because it gives me a window into our human development that predates Christianity, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism, and further back into what we consider Atlantis. It dwelves into the stars and the sun, into the angels such as the Thrones, and into Lucifer, and into Adam. As materialistically and scientifically and technologically wrapped as we are now, we should also look into our past to appreciate how humanity has evolved and advanced over the epochs. Despite these advances, we are somehow unable to break free from the vestiges of an earlier underdeveloped part of our humanity, being controlled by what can be considered a reptilian-minded reactionary ideology and priesthood, which has held back our development into more compassionate selves that reflect the spirit of the Buddha and the Christ.

Why the world is so makes me question many tenets deep in our faith, especially with how I felt our pope failed us in protecting us from what I feel are lies and actual bodily and societal harm. It is as if the church is one with the establishment, and the establishment not at all serving God and the common good.

Rudolf Steiner is someone I have not been familiar with, but in listening to his talks, I felt that we should have listened to- more than the standard catechism in CLE.(Christian Life Education). He has a following in the many schools named after him, where he emphasized learning and development that makes a child develop well, especially to face learning with self discovery, and to develop a critical mind that even our fabled Jesuit education has fallen short of.

He has also developed hia own system of agriculture, which is also anathema to what modern gricultural colleges would teach us.

For there is more to just getting a degree from highly credentialed schools, Ivy League or Ateneo or La Salle be damned. There is a lot out there beyond what our schools drill into our head.

But this is all I can say. If you're like me, you will be immersed in enjoying and looking forward to the next lecture in his very long series of talks. The heavy traffic in the metro is one I enjoy now, if only because this is when his talks get my undivided attention.

I think we are fortunate to be exposed to I.I (Individualized Instruction). It is as if we are used to learning on our own, at our pace, and we can easily do it alone in the privacy of our drives, meals, and walks, where we have the chance to nourish our minds.

I have been very negative about the main influencers who see their role as God's chosen people as something of an entitlement rather than as a call to serve humanity. Until I listened to these lectures. I now feel sorry for them instead. For they have seen fit to be guided by laws from an underdeveloped epoch, and still are bound by the letter of laws from an earlier time where man has not learned of the capacity to love, and are unable to accept new laws that are based on compassion and to act in the newly acquired spirit.

Here is the link to his trove of lectures:

n.b. Someone here shared this link with me. I want to thank him for that. I could not find the thread we were in. I would have thought searching for "Steiner" as a keyword would be a simple matter. Seems like depending on packaged search engines leave us to trust the reliability of such engines, and it has disappointed me. It is the same here as it was in the RPF. @brad nothing against you but that is the nature of tech. Which is why I subscribe to a search app service on my cellphone, and pay for it, to get good search performance.

@yerrag This is awesome. Thank you!

@yerrag Thanks for sharing. I agree the search isn't great -- if you know of a better plugin for nodebb by all means share it and I'll switch.

You can also use site:bioenergetic.forum [query] on Google or another search engine as a backup. Was this the thread you were looking for? https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2551/who-knows-where-the-history-button-is/3

brad

@yerrag Oh -- one more thing, you should make sure your search is for "titles and posts" and it will bring up more results. For some reason the default search only checks titles.

Thanks for the tip. I had forgotten about that (ie site:...) and sure enough it works as it always does. I haven't kept up with IT stuff on websites lately and wish I could help on better search engines to suggest.

Hope someone else here would know. Perhaps @Kilgore ?

I'm glad you feel the same way. Thanks to @wrl

Kilgore

@yerrag I didn't find any.

yerrag

@Kilgore it's cool. we can work around it anyway. thanks for looking.

@yerrag
Fwiw, here's another resource for written works:

Articles include documents written for publication in a journal, formal addresses, and other materials that are neither books nor lectures

@wrl

Plenty more. Overflowing. Thanks!

Rudolf was an occultist

@Peatful
An incredibly scientific one you could say

Hmmm
Right up there with Bill Gates I suppose

OliverCloasov

@Peatful The occult just means hidden knowledge, implying that someone who studies such things is bad is a false dichotomy. Gates is terrible for many other reasons and to lump Steiner in with him is just absurd

Peatful

@OliverCloasov
although undeniably bright and possibly altruistic
from the little that I know and have read of him - there’s deception or confusion

Ie: “Freemasonry and Ritual Work: The Misraim Service”

He’s not intentionally deceiving al a Gates
But
He lost his way seeking Truth

Edit: extra word

OliverCloasov

@Peatful That's fair enough, though I think there are aspects of Truth within the Occult worth being availed of (my 2c)

@OliverCloasov

Respect Peatful's belief in Baltimore Catechism. She needs a nihil obstat and imprimatur or she'll have to keep confessing.

Ad hominem?
(argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

If that’s a bunch of Catholic vernacular
I am more troubled by that than Steiner probably

Edit: word

@Peatful

Ahh ... Didn't I say what is as close as one gets to reveal your bias as programmed into you? If we rejected our medical brainwashing and embraced Ray Peat, shouldn't we be more likely to reject other analogues as well? Shouldn't you?
