“True observers of nature, although they may think differently, will still agree that everything that is, everything that is observable as a phenomenon, can only exhibit itself in one of two ways. It is either a primal polarity that is able to unify, or it is a primal unity that is able to divide. The operation of nature consists of splitting the united or uniting the divided; this is the eternal movement of systole and diastole of the heartbeat, the inhalation and exhalation of the world in which we live, act, and exist.”
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

April 11, 2018 at 2:28 am #51913c_howdyParticipantI would be careful with channeling things like Goethe’s Faust; it seems that Goethe was still seriously working with the second part just before his death/until his death.

It seems that Steiner have been especially proud about his turbo-enhanced-thinking-faculty, but I must admit that I find most of his books very boring.
But there are very many interesting things going on within this movement although it hasn’t become such a beacon of earthly civilization like seemingly Steiner would have liked.
Sorry for my broken English.

The goal of Operating Thetan is to overcome the travails of existence and regain the certainty and abilities of one’s native spiritual beingness. At this level one knows that they are separate and apart from such material things as physical form or the physical universe.

In 1888, as a result of his work for the Kürschner edition of Goethe’s works, Steiner was invited to work as an editor at the Goethe archives in Weimar. Steiner remained with the archive until 1896. As well as the introductions for and commentaries to four volumes of Goethe’s scientific writings, Steiner wrote two books about Goethe’s philosophy: The Theory of Knowledge Implicit in Goethe’s World-Conception (1886), which Steiner regarded as the epistemological foundation and justification for his later work, and Goethe’s Conception of the World (1897).

“I have a big tree, the kind they call a “stinktree.” The trunk is so distorted, so full of knots, no one can get a straight plank out of it. The branches are so crooked you cannot cut them up in any way that makes sense.”
“Then plant it in the wasteland, in emptiness. Walk idly around it, rest under its shadow. No axe or bill prepares its end. No one will ever cut it down.”
