that last rosebud

In my Autumn garden I was fain
     To mourn among my scattered roses;
     Alas for that last rosebud which uncloses
To Autumn’s languid sun and rain
When all the world is on the wane!
     Which has not felt the sweet constraint of June,
     Nor heard the nightingale in tune.

Broad-faced asters by my garden walk,
     You are but coarse compared with roses:
     More choice, more dear that rosebud which uncloses,
Faint-scented, pinched, upon its stalk,
That least and last which cold winds balk;
     A rose it is though least and last of all,
     A rose to me though at the fall.

— Christina Rossetti, “October Garden”

The Silent Language of Life
Research into Formative Forces in Water Drops

Inge Just-Nastansky, MD
READ MORE | CONTENTS

“The work of Inge Just-Nastansky joins the ranks of the so-called ‘image-creating methods’ that have emerged in anthroposophical natural science. One thinks of the pioneer Lili Kolisko, who studied the coming to rest of liquids in rising images. For example, at full moon and at new moon radically different rising patterns of the silver salt solution are formed. Inge Just-Nastansky also shows the polarity of the droplet image at full moon and new moon. Macroscopy brings balance to microscopy.” — Armin Husemann, MD

The research published here—conducted over the course of fifteen years by Inge Just-Nastansky—reveals, through extensive illustrations, a side of nature that otherwise remains hidden to us. READ MORE

Corona Blood Phenomena
Microscopic examinations of blood, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid:
healthy – vaccinated – recovered

From The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner

The Tension between East and West
10 lectures at the Second International Congress of
the Anthroposophical Movement, Vienna, June 1–12, 1922 (CW 83)
READ MORE | CONTENTS

In ordinary consciousness, we combine our thoughts logically and thus make use of thinking to know the external sensory world. Now, however, we allow thinking to enter into a kind of musical element, but one that is undoubtedly a knowledge element; we become aware of a spiritual rhythm underlying all things; we penetrate into the world by beginning to perceive it in the spirit. From abstract, dead thinking, from mere image-thinking, our thinking becomes a thinking enlivened in itself. This is the significant transition that can be made from abstract and merely logical thinking to a living thinking about which we have the feeling it is capable of shaping a reality, just as we recognize our process of growth as a living reality. — Rudolf Steiner

This dynamic set of lectures attempts to lift the veil from modern social and spiritual problems as experienced in the polarities between East and West. Understanding the geographical and spiritual background of world history is vital to any assessment of where we stand in history today—as Steiner points out here and in many other lectures given during and in the years following the First World War.

This volume is an important study not only in the spiritual, cultural, and political relations between East and West but in the very meaning of being human on earth today. READ MORE
