The Homeopathy Health Show with Atiq Ahmad Bhatti

Téma, kterému se budeme věnovat v tomto pořadu, je zároveň otázkou: Rudolf Steiner – druhý Cimrman?

Donna La Pré is an esotericist and biodynamic farmer who under the name Tender Flower creates potent perfumes and natural skincare products in her home workshop in Rappahannock County, Virginia. On this highly esoteric exploration of unseen worlds through an Anthroposophic lens, Donna begins by introducing the 19th-century Austrian clairvoyant, Rudolf Steiner & his wisdom path known as Anthroposophy. We deep dive into topics such as: primitive clairvoyance; Christ as the living power of love; the physical, astral, and etheric bodies; reincarnation; and natural rhythms as an antidote to the negative effects of our hyper-technological world. Artificial Intelligence and the creepiness of transhumanism shifts the conversation to the deceptive, materialistic, coldly intellectual being Steiner called Ahriman whose aim is to harden our souls and halt human evolution. For the last third we get into the elementals, the entities or forces of the natural world. Donna ends with three enchanting tales of how she has tangibly experienced the elementals, from building a community-healing urban garden to the etheric medicine emanating from a holly tree. Check out Tender Flower and follow Donna on Instagram. Support Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

EP221: Understanding how to develop a hands-on learning experience before offering an explanation can change everything about your homeschool teaching!On this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, Jean breaks down this powerful approach to teaching which is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education. As home educators, when we allow children to experience concepts firsthand before explaining theories or principles, we preserve their natural wonder and curiosity rather than shutting them down with premature explanations. This makes learning much less abstract. And honors how children learn naturally.In this episode, you'll hear examples from math, language arts, science, and history. Plus loads of inspiration that will make a real difference in your homeschooling journey.Find the Show Notes here  https://artofhomeschooling.com/episode221/Join the Inspired at Home CommunityCome to the Taproot Teacher TrainingSend Jean a text message.Support the showThanks for listening!

Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war München eine Hochburg der Esoterik: Okkultismus, Theosophie und neue Heilslehren fanden an der Isar begeisterten Zulauf, das Übersinnliche war schwer in Mode. Und mittendrin: Rudolf Steiner, bis heute umstrittener wie verehrter Begründer der Anthroposophie.

Statt indischer Einflüsse prägen deutschsprachige philosophische Vorstellungen die neue Weltanschauung von Rudolf Steiner, sagt der Religionswissenschaftler Dirk Schuster Gestaltung: Alexandra Mantler – Eine Eigenproduktion des ORF, gesendet in Ö1 am 01.04. 2025

Welcome back to Higher Density Living! In this captivating fourth (or fifth!) episode, co-host Jason Rigby is joined once again by the brilliant Dr. Eric Cunningham, a Professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University and an expert in modern Japanese intellectual history, Zen Buddhism, Catholicism, psychedelia, and eschatology. Together, they dive deep into the mysterious world of secret societies through the lens of Rudolf Steiner's profound teachings—a topic that bridges the physical and spiritual realms like never before.   Dr. Cunningham, a former naval officer turned academic, shares his fascinating journey into Steiner's esoteric philosophy, sparked in 1989 by a friend who introduced him to Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment. What followed was a decades-long exploration of Steiner's vast body of work—over 70 books and hundreds of lectures—that seamlessly connects spirituality, history, and human evolution. As a practicing Catholic with a passion for Zen Buddhism and Asian mysticism, Cunningham brings a unique perspective to Steiner's ideas, blending rigorous scholarship with metaphysical insight.   In this episode, we explore Steiner's views on secret societies—described as “lines of connection” between the material and spiritual worlds. From the Rosicrucians' pursuit of conscious immortality to the Illuminati's entanglement with Ahrimanic (materialistic) forces, Cunningham unpacks the distinction between societies seeking esoteric wisdom and those chasing temporal power. Steiner's cosmic framework reveals a timeless struggle between “left-hand” and “right-hand” brotherhoods—rebellious spirits resisting divine evolution versus those embracing self-sacrificial love.   We journey through history, examining how spiritual impulses, not just material causes, shaped events like the Renaissance and Industrial Age. Steiner's radical perspective challenges conventional narratives, suggesting that the modern world's obsession with “fitness over truth” (as echoed by Donald Hoffman) reflects the triumph of Ahrimanic forces. Cunningham also delves into the 19th-century esoteric revival—Freemasonry's expansion, the Golden Dawn, and the OTO—connecting these movements to Steiner's fifth post-Atlantean epoch and the karmic shifts of industrialization.   The conversation takes a dark turn as we confront the Nazis' suppression of esoteric groups like Steiner's Anthroposophical Society, alongside their own occult obsessions (think Thule Society and Maria Orsic). Were these crackdowns a karmic backlash against Ahrimanic tendencies? And how do they tie into modern conspiracies like Operation Paperclip and the rise of technocrats like Wernher von Braun?   Fast forward to 2025: Cunningham speculates on what Steiner would see in today's world—AI, media consolidation, and geopolitical tension. Is artificial intelligence the ultimate Ahrimanic threat, stripping humanity of its capacity for independent thought? Or can we resist by cultivating “enthusiastic attentiveness” and piercing the hidden power structures Steiner warned about?   Plus, get a sneak peek into Cunningham's book, The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History (available now on Amazon—link in the show notes!). This groundbreaking work explores Luciferic influences, Chinese mysticism, and even dragons—yes, dragons!—across cultures. Jason also teases an upcoming episode on tarot and Aleister Crowley, inspired by his personal dive into the Waite deck.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Secret Societies and Rudolf Steiner 02:34 – Dr. Eric Cunningham's Journey into Steiner's World 05:20 – Defining Secret Societies: Esoteric Wisdom vs. Temporal Power 08:25 – Steiner's Take on Rosicrucians, Illuminati, and Historical Forces 13:00 – Freemasonry's Role in the 19th Century and Beyond 18:05 – The Dark Side: Death, Control, and Ahrimanic Brotherhoods 23:17 – Golden Dawn, OTO, and Aleister Crowley's Hollywood Legacy 28:22 – Nazis, Thule Society, and Steiner's Persecution 35:15 – Modern Elites, AI, and the Ahrimanic Shadow 49:35 – Reincarnation and Secret Societies' Spiritual Manipulation 51:04 – Steiner in 2025: The Greatest Threat to Humanity 56:12 – Closing Thoughts: Get The Luciferic Verses Now!   Support Dr. Cunningham:   Grab his book, The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History, on Amazon.

Vor einhundert Jahren starb der schon zu seinen Lebzeiten umstrittene Begründer der Anthroposophie. Seinen Spuren begegnen wir fast täglich in unserem Leben, sagt der Religionswissenschaftler Dirk Schuster Gestaltung: Alexandra Mantler – Eine Eigenproduktion des ORF, gesendet in Ö1 am 31.03. 2025

This episode explores key figures such as Helena Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner, whose Theosophical and Anthroposophical systems redefined Lucifer as a bearer of divine knowledge and imagination rather than a malevolent entity. The analysis further considers contemporary Luciferian traditions, ritual practices, and psychological interpretations—particularly Jungian and post-Jungian approaches—positioning Lucifer within broader cultural shifts toward individual gnosis and alternative spiritualities. This episode contributes to a nuanced understanding of how religious symbols adapt across historical, philosophical, and ritual contexts.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Rudolf Steiner hat ein grosses Erbe hinterlassen: von den Steiner-Schulen über Demeter bis zu Weleda. Wer war der umstrittene Begründer der Anthroposophie? Woran glaubte er wirklich? Das klären Yves Bossart und Olivia Röllin in einer Begegnung der «Sternstunde Religion» und «Sternstunde Philosophie». Vor rund 100 Jahren hat der Österreicher Rudolf Steiner in vielen Lebensbereichen wegweisende Impulse gegeben: von der Pädagogik über die biodynamische Landwirtschaft und anthroposophische Medizin bis zur Architektur und dem Bankenwesen. Doch immer wieder wird Kritik laut, an Steiners Schriften, die klare deutschnationalistische Züge aufweisen, oder an Steiner Schulen, die sich teilweise den Corona-Massnahmen widersetzten. Weshalb? Welches Weltbild verbirgt sich hinter der Anthroposophie? Was hat es mit Steiners Glauben an «Hellseherei», «Karma» und «Astralleibern» auf sich? Um diese Fragen zu klären, besucht Olivia Röllin eine Steiner-Schule in Münchenstein bei Basel und das Goetheanum, den Sitz der «Allgemeinen anthroposophischen Gesellschaft» in Dornach. Yves Bossart spricht im Studio mit der Anthroposophin und Steiner-Biografin Martina Maria Sam und mit dem Anthroposophie-Kritiker und Religionsphilosophen Ansgar Martins. Diese Sendung ist eine Wiederholung vom 30. Oktober 2022.

Kovce, Philip www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Politisches Feuilleton

Owen Barfield was the genius Inkling, said CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. But why does he so much matter today?They consider how Owen Barfield addresses the idea of secularism developed by Charles Taylor and why that might matter in a cultural moment that feels like a folk in the road. They speak personally of how Barfield touched them and why his insights might matter to the psychedelic renaissance.A central idea is that of polarity - moving beyond the dualisms that trap people, on the left and on the right, in a flatland mentality.They ask how Barfield's vision of final participation can be understood, even experienced, in language, in nature, with Indigenous traditions, in sacrament. They also consider how Rudolf Steiner, so important to Barfield, might be appreciated critically.Fundamental is the Christian insight that the transcendent is also immanent, the many are reflections of the one, and that humanity shares in divine purposes.For more on Mark, including his book on Barfield's understanding of Christianity - www.markvernon.comFor more on Ashton - https://ciis.academia.edu/ashtonkohlarnoldy0:00 Barfield's relevance today06:47 Monotheism and the singular self12:02 Encountering worlds of spirit20:26 The task of integration27:49 The ongoing Christian revelation32:34 Steiner and politics today44:03 The experience of polarity49:22 Barfield and ecology53:03 Taylor's interspace and imagination56: 29 The divine power of language01:01:08 Poetry and the evolution of consciousness01:06:54 The past in the present and the future01:11:09 Questions of identity01:16:44 The future orientation of Christianity01:21:09 Residual unprocessed positivism01:25:38 Critical readings of Steiner01:30:42 Concluding remarks

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Wired to Win "We're wired to want to win. I take action every single morning to put myself in a successful position to manage whatever is thrown my way." - Michael Chernow You Can't Buy Time "What's the one thing in life that there is no way anyone has ever been able to purchase? Time. We're all given the exact same amount of time in a day. So if you want to to win in life, it requires an hour of self-indulgent, self-care time. Because when you can dedicate to that, you are going to show up a better human being." - Michael Chernow Why Addicts Feel In Control "When you are in active addiction, you have a sense of complete control, even though you're totally out of control. That sense of control comes from the ability to change how you feel. You know that there is a substance that will numb your feelings. So when you feel bad, you can easily make yourself feel good. When you feel good, you can easily make yourself feel great. And so in essence, you're playing God. You're controlling how you feel no matter what is going on around you." - Michael Chernow Links From Today's Show  Michael Chernow Kreatures of Habit - 20% OFF WITH CODE “WISDOM20" Dr. Russel Surasky The Big Book How to Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner 439 Khalil Rafati | From Homeless To Limitless: One Man's Spiritual Journey of Learned Helplessness to Powerful Humility The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT

If you've ever met a kid who could knit a scarf before they could read, you might already be familiar with this week's "cult." With their dreamy, arts-infused approach to education (think: seasonal festivals, storytelling over standardized testing), Waldorf schools promise a ~holistic utopia for young minds~. But behind the fairy tale façade lurks a past (and present) steeped in, oh y'know, anti-science ideology, claims of clairvoyance, weird "karma" stuff, problematic hierarchies, and a suspiciously rigid devotion to its 1920s founder, Rudolf Steiner. And that's just the beginning! This week, Amanda and Reese break down the culty undercurrents of Waldorf Schools with the help of former Waldorf educator Maggie Smith, who was kicked out of the movement and lived to tell the tale. Is Waldorf a harmless hippie haven? Or an expensive lesson on us vs. them dynamics? Tune in as we unravel its hand-spun, naturally dyed, organic threads! Subscribe to Sounds Like A Cult on Youtube!
