Outlook for 2026 – Part 62026 requires the development of the skill of observation; rebellious natures can achieve no results.

The existence of lies, injustices, sanctions, dictatorial encroachments by police and state powers and, in particular, unwelcome discrimination by one’s peers and current trends will be audaciously and almost self-evidently deemed as normal in this coming year.

The feeling of being normal, gives people a sense of security and a relative complacency. Quite a large proportion of the population, particularly in Germany, for example, but less so in Italy, push back against the lies of the times. However, external and internal rebellions, energetic verbal battles and protests are becoming less significant, and many people that feel as if they have been unfairly treated and take offence at the materialistic culture, are eagerly considering how they can confront the injustice. For all those who are rebellious there will be a kind of circular movement in the coming year, which will wear itself down into a depression, as the insufficiency of an actual rebellion against the cultural decline does not bear fruit either. From a spiritual perspective, injustice and evil must not be fought either directly or surreptitiously.

However, the coming months in particular will provide a fiery impulse to initiatives that do not constitute a rebellion against evil and want to overthrow it, but which independently and diligently start working towards better cultural advancement. Ecological projects will receive this great boost. The climate fears fuelled by the government have lost their effectiveness and will have little significance in the year ahead. The creativity that is awakening in people enables a very beautiful work and co-operation, and thus ecological projects will be founded in many countries, not only in Europe, but also in North Africa and other parts of the world, which will answer part of the question of the meaning of life and as it says in the Beatitude Gospel passage, the earth will be inherited by the meek.

With the appearances of ecological projects and many new creative forms of energy utilisation it will become obvious that politics, with its totalitarian and manipulative zeal, has been able to directly stimulate people’s individual imagination. In 2026, the pressure of external power will lead to an inner, deeper meaning and even a resurrection of meaning, especially in the field of ecology.

However, it is important that people do not get too caught up in the fight against injustice and totalitarian measures in the coming year. This advice is essential for a positive response to the question of development and it occurs out of a spiritual awareness.

Personally, I want to say at this point that I do not arrive at the annual forecast through astrological calculations and also not on the basis of mediumistic transmissions. I study the outer world and the world of the dead and finally the processes of becoming that are established through creative forces, the so-called ‘deva’. This study is intensive and time-consuming. To some extent, like last year, the study groups at the Sun Oasis were also able to participate in the formulation of the annual forecast.

What do the dead, who with their souls live on in the cosmos, say about rebellion?

A soul that expands into the heavenly spheres does not possess any physical gravitational forces. Rather, it lives in its soul reality and its existence is its truth in terms of spiritual content. Just as a bottle of mineral water contains various trace elements and substances as well as liquid, the soul also contains minerals and micro-substances after death. The bottle as a vessel is only the carrying container for the content. When the water is drunk, the bottle no longer has any meaning. It is taken to be recycled.

The content of the soul is not a combination of trace elements and a specific liquid, it is woven out of the entire ability people have had to bring thoughts into mental pictures in the right way and then to build these into a part of their own self. How many ideas did individuals think and how many ideals were they able to lead onto the path of realisation until they reached a rational and perceivable result? People’s souls do not remain as theories, but are fulfilled when theory, abstract truth, ideal mental pictures have become authentic and lived realities. Therefore, those who have realised many ideals in life are richer in soul. The realisation of thoughts and ideals is the content, and this is comparable with the good mineral water in the bottle, which actually has a quality.

The angelic forces or the deva withdraw themselves from a person who puts others down or undermines them and tries to exclude others from public dialogue. However, angelic forces flow to those who refuse to accept accusations, correct them and place them in a thematic context, and their wealth of ideas are furthered. There should therefore be no revolution as a countermeasure against those who insult or persecute others. Failure is certain for the persecutor.

An example can show the difference between a rebellion and truly constructive work. A person posts lots of videos complaining about the ills of the times, speaking of economic disasters and of the many machinations of the digital financial complex. There is no other, constructive content. How will the afterlife in the soul realm be experienced?

This person, who is only mentioned here as an example, as a hypothetical person of the times, with each new video, moves further into a kind of distant and lonely world. In the experience after death, this isolation will become noticeable for the person to a certain degree.

The beatitude, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” must be directly thought in the opposite way for the strong complaints and rebellions, that are made today in the spirit of the times: “Those who are critical and rebel against the times will be lonely on the other side, because they shied away from the connection with building up the earth and do not want the living glow of existence in active, creative productivity.”

An observation of someone who has died.

The deceased person, who will now be described, was a teacher in a Steiner School and a director. In some periods of her development, she changed to teach in a conventional school. She was very familiar with Goethe’s work and highly competent in reciting Faust. Over the years, she studied in the school of spiritual science and with this could increase her activities in education. During the corona period, she prepared a lecture that she practiced here at the Sun Oasis. After making a few corrections to the content, she was able to significantly improve the quality of her presentation. This was followed by further episodes of improvement and correction, and when she finally gave the lecture in Munich, the content touched people’s hearts and was very well received. The topic was not directed against the times and the corona measures but to the human being’s engagement with content and the unfolding of a real faculty for insight. She was not first and foremost a critic of society, but rather like a prophet who has risen in favour of values and ways in which these can be achieved in practice.

This lecture led the person to a pinnacle of her existence. She felt connected to many people and her health took a noticeable turn for the better. However, the strengthening she experienced in the days and weeks that followed was soon stifled again by her work. Systems demand their price. There are many fears, especially in the school systems. These live in conventional schools as well as Steiner schools. For example, although she shone with light, she was sanctioned not to organise any more public lectures. There was fear that the Steiner school may be brought into disrepute. Out of a willingness to compromise, she complied with the demands. However, her health directly suffered a fast decline and then she died quite unexpectedly.

There were various circumstances that led to the illness. If someone searches for the soul through spiritual research to see how it has integrated into the cosmos after death, the connections that have arisen can be categorised as relative. Merely the occurrence of the lecture and her extraordinarily courageous presentation of values that she felt alive in her soul brought a free, beautiful light dimension of being connected with the world and the cosmos.

The work that she achieved in education enters into world creation as a good sacrificial contribution. The connection that people experience after death can be pictured as follows: The individual climbs a mountain, toils through the wooded areas and then reaches a first small vantage point onto an open meadow. The shielding woodland has already receded and no longer impedes the ability to perceive with the senses. However, it is a limited point that has been reached with the meadow. The valleys and peaks in the open expanse cannot yet be perceived. The lecture in Munich, however, brought a glorious ascent to the peak for the soul, which led to a fully unobstructed view and a fantastic connection with the phenomena of nature and of the landscape. The unrestricted view led to a free perception of her own humanness and that of others and increased for the future a soul-feeling of value. However, the descent inevitably began according to the law of existence and her fate was that no new, further peaks could be reached.

This story, which concerns a soul after death, shows how necessary activity is, which is not revolutionary in nature, but is directed with spiritual wisdom towards humanity in a way that is limit surpassing, constructive and that benefits society. For many people, the coming year requires this limit surpassing and courageous activity, which, however, is not directed against the times but is directed towards the building up of society and spiritual possibilities.

For this reason, the following learning step for the coming year should be noted: never blame others for your failures, never accuse or even fight evil, but rather set out on your own path of shaping life with the best realisation possibilities. Good mental pictures should lead to undertaking limit surpassing experiences.

Dealing with negative forces and people

It is critical to assess which people are really negatively tempered and also to judge whether there are actually harmful emanations or constructive ones. The only answer to this can be found in a solid spiritual training path that comprehends the circumstances right into their essential nature and inner meaning.

In recent years, the question has repeatedly arisen in the spiritual school as to how behaviour can be adapted to very negative people or negative potential forces. For 2026, the most necessary discipline will have to take place because, as has perhaps already been the case in previous phases of development, the phrase “the negative must be left alone” will turn into indifference. In the current years, the negative cannot be left alone because from the moment it is ignored, it will loom up again and greater. Someone offends and the affected person does not take note of it. He gives it no emphasis. The insults suddenly appear more powerful because they want attention. Again, the affected person does not attach any significance to the incident. Finally, the actionism of the offender degenerates into a violent act. The negative wants to gain attention for itself with the greatest intensity. The negative is like an overflowing dam that inevitably demands its price.

Spiritual students must not fight against satanic and powerful insults, malice and attacks, but at the same time not look at them with indifference. They observe in very clear and concrete ways the emotional degeneration and even the destructive intentions, analyse them, recognise them in their deceitful character, comprehend the desperate being and because they observe it so well, they take the edge off it.

In 2026 the attacks on the spiritual school will take place over and over again and they will have a particularly strong projective character. The root cause for these attacks lies in narcissistic wounds. An ecclesiastical, ancient, unredeemed potential lies in the nature of these attacks. Actually, minds of an astral kind, which have the sharpest inquisitorial tendencies, lean towards the spiritual school from above and torment with insults the people who are of good endeavour; but they are now observed, and because they are observed, those who really strive for truth develop greater ideals. It is precisely through this ability to consciously react by ‘not reacting’, to process consciously, being at a free distance, that they develop a greater strength of self and love of content. This discipline of solidly observing and consciously recognising the negative, without directing the action into defence, has a purifying and self-strengthening effect.

A healthy word, however, when someone insults another person, for example, by accusing them of being part of a cult, only because they themselves cannot organise their own life, may and must even occasionally happen with a conversation.
