Raja Yoga wants to reveal the situation of human beings and their truthfulness in relation to an ordered spiritual aspiration in systematic, step-by-step progression. The many manipulations that take place in the world in political or economic actions, are not of great interest to yoga. The more aspiring individuals advance through self-realisation and a life of truthfulness, the more clearly they highlight the disharmonies of the worldly bustle, because they represent a lasting value through a life of truthfulness with respect to themselves and others.

It is probably one of the most common phenomena in groups and in the various seminars, be they anthroposophical or yoga practitioners or Christian working groups, that an apparent knowledge becomes a substitute personal identification and this is not living, but rather intellectualised and adapted, and people thereby take an elitist position in the comfortable circumstances typical of our time.

The two great polarities of light and darkness have less to do with the rhythms of day and night that accompany the outer world as a result of cosmic conditions. They explicitly refer, right into the individual details of the soul-conditions of humanity and individuals. Read More …

The statement, which the great Indian sage Sivananda said with a kind of irony, that yoga students should not confuse the rising Kundalini-Shakti with arthritis in the back, is more relevant than would be generally believed today. Unfortunately, many people confuse experiences of enlightenment with pure earthly sensuality. Read More …

The “cycle of the illogical” describes an inner process, in which one-sided or egotistically influenced thinking leads to a constricting of the soul, self-delusion and a lack of development. Integral logic, on the other hand, forms the basis for insightful knowledge, relationships and soul development. Read More …

The anāhata-cakra sometimes referred to as the twelve petaled lotus flower at the heart, defines itself above all through a consciousness of universally valid content. What is a content? In an allegorical comparison, a glass is the outer form and the liquid within it the content. In human beings, the outer stature, in its sensory appearance, shows the world of the body, whereas the invisible and developed consciousness of the human being depicts the soul, and to a certain extent, represents the content of their life. However, all content or soul existence in human nature originates from the spirit and possesses an otherworldly existence. Read More …

A genuine soul-feeling for true values – that is neither limited in time nor dependent on the changing streams of societal systems – a feeling for the value of greatness of character, morality and nobly created works, leads to a treasure within the soul. The more this soul feeling for values, expressed in practical and concrete terms, becomes part of an authentic feeling of the personality the more it inspires the heart centre with joyfully beautiful, expansive and rounded movements, which in turn radiate outwards to fellow human beings and, ultimately, far onto the whole cosmos. In life, the value that individuals respect, perceive, venerate with subtle ardour – and perhaps, furthermore, achieve in deeds and authentic feelings, – forms their heart. It is their inner, soul heart. Read More …

What can individuals do to support peace in the Iran conflict?

The US president Donald Trump actually did not want to start a war in Iran and sought to reassure Israel, who feared it would be destroyed and wiped out. From a spiritual perspective, taking into account the innermost circumstances, the intenseness of the American leader – who is highly emotional and quick to react – is not malicious but relatively peace-loving, and he is particularly concerned with the preservation of his own nation.

No distinctions are made, nor is it specified whether the discussion concerns Catholic or Protestant consecration rites, the renewed worship within the anthroposophical Christian Community, or practices in the free Christian Churches. Very strong ritual movements exist, for example, in Hinduism and Yoga, such as Puja ceremonies with holy figures that are bathed in milk, or the traditional mantra initiation, which is given from teacher to student. Finally, a wide variety of ritualistic practices can take place in nature, intended, for example, to enliven the so-called elemental beings. Read More …

It is generally known that regular meditation promotes health and enhances the consciousness in its ability to perceive. It is important to differentiate between object-oriented and non-object-oriented meditation, saguna and nirguna. Incorrect forms of practice can lead individuals into an illusory world and reduce the soul’s potential for relationship to the point of paralysis. A well acquired foundation of how a meditation is built up, in what time frame it happens, and how to interpret its results is an important basis for those meditating. Read More …

Typical ritualistic acts have a widespread existence in various religious ceremonies, for example in the eucharistic mass of the catholic church. In the epiclesis, through the assembly of the congregation and priest’s act of consecration, the so-called holy spirit is called into the eucharistic bread and this is then distributed to the members of the church.

The physical exercises practiced here in this discipline serve the development of the soul potential and bring about those processes of transformation, which on the one hand, ennoble a person’s character and, on the other hand, shape the body in a light giving and beautiful way. The transformation work takes place from the spirit to the soul and from this in turn to the body. Read More …

The common sentiment that there is a combination of both good and bad deeds in all human beings will seem to a certain degree more relative in the coming year. Humanity stands at a threshold from which two great armies will emerge, comparable to those spoken of in the Bhagavad Gita, the Kauravas and the Pandavas. In general, these two armies symbolise evil with the Kauravas and good with the white army, the Pandavas. Read More …

The great powers America and Russia have the consequence that the individual countries will generally gain an irrefutable need to develop their own originality and independence. Wars are certainly being planned but at the current state of development they will only be planned and not implemented. Current media politics is creating a scenario of fear-mongering. Read More …

This question, which is not that simple, is of particular interest because there are various different major movements in anthroposophy and in anthroposophical circles. A first assumption would be that Rudolf Steiner’s soul is alive in the various institutions that bear his name. But where does his soul or spirit live today? Read More …

The coming year appears to be significantly different from the past.((For the signature of the past year please see the Outlook for 2025, parts 1 – 11.)) Although effects from the past reach over into the future and continue to have a wide variety of consequences, the existence of the spiritual sphere will nevertheless awaken new, completely unknown impulses that until now have been waiting remotely in the cosmos and were not visible or sufficiently perceptible.
