       THE COSMIC WORLD DECIDES,       THE POWER OF WILL SHOOTING THE TARGET The form of the human body seen as created by the formative forces of the zodiac is depicted in many old manuscripts, as well as the dynamic influence from the planets on our inner organism . The top image is the original design for the first Goetheanum blue south window by Rudof Steiner. The image below is the present image in the new Goetheanum. (Build after the first Goetheanum was destroyed in the flames). Assia Turgenieff wrote in her personal memories (Dornach 1935 and later edited in 1961) these human figures, build by the power of the stars reminded her of Egyptian Hyroglyphs. It could only be compared to an old knowledge in far away civilisations, where this connetedness to a spiritual origin was diretly perceived.  In my young years coming to dornach it directly reminded me of the eastern forms of movement involving the whole body, moving the chi or life en...

THE PLACE OF MEDITATION IN THE WORK OF RUDOLF STEINER This article is written to further elucidate a number of different points of view in anthroposophy. Comments and contributions are welcome. The first point  is the often recurring belief that Rudolf Steiner took nothing from other teachings and developed everything from his own meditative and visionary experience ("Schauen"). This one-sided conviction possibly has its origin in what Rudolf Steiner wrote himself in the preface to "Die Geheimwissenschaft im Umriss" (1910), (An Outline of Occult Science, the 1955 edition of the "Vorwort zur sechzehnten bis zwanzigsten Auflage" p 11).
