UFO’s: the search for truth, reality and tools for their redemption By Nicolaas de Jong (edited by Patrick Steensma) There’s an undeniable connection between UFO’s and the subnatural realm. This realm contains various subrealms cohering with our contemporary one-sided materialistic culture. Our technology and UFO-technology is a direct expression thereof. The bottom line is it calls on our sense of responsibility for the development of Humanity and the earth. UFO’s and politics UFO’s have penetrated the consciousness of a wide range of the population. They have a far-reaching influence, e.g. as partners of certain western governmental fractions and corporate powers. This cooperation paves the way for UFO’s to experiment unbothered with the life- and organ forces of humans and animals, giving the top-politicians and business-men the lead in technology. This has little to do with the ultimate goal of Humanity, viz. to become a spirit of Love and Freedom. The sausage held in front of peoples faces is the idealization of indefinite technical control of matter, giving us a so-called ever increasing freedom. Thus, more and more talents, which someday can be developed by us through inward work, are put into abstract machinery. UFO’s tell us we’re rather primitive (1) and need their protection and guidance because by their work on genes they were the ones who supposed to have caused our emanation from the apes (2). The essence of UFO’s is thus: they are not the extra-terrestrials or the outer cosmic-beings like they wants us to believe and pretend to be (they might have a connection with this or that star, but everything on earth has that, so that’s nothing to worship them for). They are elemental beings (gnomes, nimphs, elves, fairy beings) which are condensed too far, aware of their own implosion and therefore eagerly looking for compensation through the life- and organ forces of humans. For their inward nourishment they try to serve themselves with the qualities of our souls, because they themselves have hardly developed those (these developed qualities also stand for portals to spiritual knowledge); therefore also e.g. their sclerotic insectoid appearance. Their ultimate goal is to create their own dominion, a planet, built up of our forces. Partly we ourselves are the cause they have turned away from us and started to emancipate. Out of fear for the whimsical tendency of nature we have become directed towards ourselves and use(d) the thoughts of Nature (i.e. are elemental beings) in our abstract materialistic techniques, causing these elemental beings to fall out of the Cosmic Order and the ascending evolution. This (still) gives them a high intelligence, plus a certain degree of free will, but it also causes them to become cold and bitter. Their being is composed of a soul-body through which they have awareness and an Etheric-Life body of formative forces through which they can act. But through the above described developments they do not use their soul-body (which basically is composed of the forces of sympathy and antipathy generating colors as gradations of feelings) in the Light-ether any more as feeling, but as propulsion by means of light. Every time when their vehicles propulsion starts to work it generates phenomena of light, which means they have developed astral (viz. soul) techniques. They also have cognition about the secrets of metal, as is demonstrated when parts of their suits or vehicles are crumpled up and they subsequently jump back into their original form; this indicates a knowledge of the formative forces of the Etheric-Life World, which we haven’t yet or hardly been able to master ourselves (3). These beings cannot be seen as pure evil, but they have to do with ourselves. They have become pieces of knocked loose technique with their own intelligence and a resolvedness of direction. They seem to lack a soul and initially resist and oppose us. Their focus is on attempting to condense themselves more and more in a physical form out of our Etheric-Life forces, whereby their relative freedom and own will is used and directed by higher spirits who work behind them (4). Thus, we will have to start something with them, will they be able to fit in the whole purpose of Earth-development. This means we’ll have to connect with them in a more conscious manner and try to come to cooperation (again), through which we can point them out to something more worthwhile than a struck loose planet of their own. By doing so we eventually can help to create out of them the germs for new human beings, with whom we ourselves are able to instigate and guide a new Cosmic development (5). This would take place on the stage of the Vulcan-Earth (6). If they are really willing to go for a soul development and will try to condense therein the Spiritual Self (the I), they will be able to form the consciousness of these human seeds, which will be the basis of later higher spiritual faculties. If this will not work, viz. they will only want to make a planet of their own, then they will really harden and become rigid, and will thus drag along a part of humanity which is incapable of overcoming that/them(7). UFO’s arranged by realms of the Etheric-Life World & some tools for their redemption Out of this point of view I now want to go deeper into their being. Roughly the next 4 categories have been observed and described (and as it is hardly possible to see them physically, seen they appear in a twilight zone of sleeping and waking, you may safely say the observations are coloured by the souls of the ones who observe them; their features are moreover characterizations than complete observations): the small and tall greys, the lizards or reptilians, the beings from Mars and the praying mantis (locust) (8) . With these four there is a connection with four basic forces, viz. electricity, (electro-)magnetism, gravity and the nuclear forces (VanderWaals-forces), the latter between the innermost ties of matter which science refers to as atoms (9). Each and every one of these subterranean forces cohere with one of the 9 inner-earth layers, all being a contra-reflection of the 9 higher hierarchies of angels (4). * Electricity is fallen/materialized light and occurs in one another attracting opposite or repulsive similar charges. This is a reflection of the World of the Soul, basically existing of the forces of sympathy and antipathy; in the Etheric-Life World this is reflected as Light-Ether. Electricity was (re)discovered by Galvani in 1785, a year after the discovery of Uranus, which itself specifically coheres with our Spirit Self (Manas) forces - generating the ability for us to develop the faculty of Clair-voyancy (2nd step of Goethean Science) – built up on our soul-body. When you look at the greys you see they mainly communicate with the transfer of the consciousness of thoughts, by paralyzing the will of humans and dimming the human self-consciousness in the soul-body. This enables them to subsequently steel Life-forces by puncturing the organs and the genitals. The being who these effects in the Soul-Astral World originate from is Lucifer (the Biblical Diabolos), who has provided us with discernment and egoism in our soul-body (this may sound weird regarding possible conventional spiritual views, but lets say everything has two sides and it depends from what level you look at phenomena). The outward appearance of the greys is tightened and stony, soulless, with big expressionless eyes. Their propulsion in machines is accompanied by light- and color phenomena. This indicates more they have mastered the astral qualities in an outward way than inwardly (10). With intervals and sounds one can fill one’s soul, which can enable them to let them come along by this purposeful filled sound.
* (Electro-)magnetism characterizes itself by electric charges that move spirally; the movement then is an effect stemming from the Etheric-Life World and expressing itself in the Sound- or Chemical Ether. The Vegetable World is very sensitive for this. In the 19th Century this force was discovered (by Maxwell) and it coheres with the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846. Neptune generates the forces of the so-called Life Spirit (Buddhi), which enables the development of the faculty of Inspiration, viz. Clair-feeling/Clair-sentiency in other beings and processes of Life (the 3rd step of Goethean Science; Clair-audiency is a faculty that can go hand in hand with it). Electromagnetism enables a subterranean entry into the Etheric-Life World, where it can be used in a manipulative manner. Simultaneously there were oil-drillings in the year of its discovery, setting free the latent astral dragon-reptilian-dinosaur forces (11). Mainly Ahriman (12) works in this realm. He is the ‘genius’ who is focused on directing the forces of the Etheric-Life World on his own earthly Kingdom, and chaining the human being into his reign over that Kingdom. That’s why he’s focused on condensing the fallen elemental beings more and more out of our Etheric-Life-forces (i.e. the organ-forces) and make them more powerful, more physical, which thus eventually makes us subordinate to intelligent machines. Therefore he sends along with every incarnating human being a being that is called the Etheric Double(13). Curing them and trying to integrate these reptilians into an ascending spiritual development is possible through sounds and rhythms that are filled with our soul-substance. Those sounds and rhythms can be built up out of effects of the stars and planets. The Etheric-Life World consists of these two ingredients or workings, and by de-mechanization of e.g. moving TV-images and video-clips this can be directed again on a purposeful development of humanity and the world in which these reptilians can move along (and probably are not able to do otherwise).
* Gravity is something to which we have to generate an opposing force, viz. that of the erection out of our will. When our will is blocked, e.g. by an illness, we are only able to lie down and are at the mercy of heaviness. Gravity is a force that presses all beings and people on earth, so that they can come to a development and will not prematurely ‘fly away’. This force has a subterranean antipole, viz nuclear power. This is the potential will residing in matter that can generate disintegration and also contains the possible power to dissolve the earth (viz. enabling transformation and sublimation) in a far future.
Since the beginning of the 20th century (discovered by the Curie-couple) this force has come into the human consciousness and was also made available and applicable in the 1930’s and 40’s (atomic bomb). It more or less coincides with the discovery of Pluto in 1930, which planet is the basis for the Spirit Man forces, viz. the creative forces which will become available to the human being when s/he transforms her/his physical body through her/his spirit (the 4th step of Goethean Science) – her/his I or Higher Self out of the ideals which reside in the so-called phantom body (14). We work with our will through our warmth-organization, the ‘point of impact’ of our spirit. In the Etheric-Life World this forms the Warmth-ether (this is something else than what is often defined as and quantified in energy).
This connection
with the will strongly makes you think of the E.T.’s, which call
themselves beings from Mars (Mars is the planet of the force of the will,
i.e. bringing forth the processes of the gal in our being - the force
of taking initiative). These beings assert a catastrophy has happened
on their planet, after which a part of them came to Earth and is waiting
for a non-violent acceptance by humanity. They take little initiative,
look ‘tanned’ and hardened (like in the movies ‘E.T.’
and ‘My uncle from Mars’) but are equipped with an inexhaustible
will-power. Most probably are they elemental beings which have loosened
from human beings and which cohere with the techniques we have realized
on Earth with the forces of Mars. But this technique is not furnished
with the spiritual touch of our Higher Self or with our soul-substance.
Our propulsion-techniques (car, plane, rocket) are characterized by impersonalized
forces of the will, as an extension of our will, so everybody can operate
them. In its turn destructions and explosions are caused by it.
* VanderWaals or nuclear forces keep matter together, they are contracting forces and they need to be discerned from atomic forces which in its turn generate the tendency to dissolve. The ultimate feature of matter is form, in which all beings and phenomena express themselves. Form is condensed spirit, eventually an outworking of what lives in the stars as the thoughts of the Gods and the Divine Plan of Creation. In Christ this Cosmic Word has become ‘flesh’/form (16). When matter falls apart, it crumbles into meaninglessness. The cohering forces in the Etheric-Life World are of the highest so far manifested order, and can be called those of the Form-Ether or ‘Ether of Purpose’ (one of its qualities is that it maintains life in its form). When looking at the ‘locusts’ we are struck by its outspoken figure: a skeleton on the outside which has hardened in its form as an Armour. These are mostly the leaders of the other UFO’s, although they operate more in the background. They are beings of darkness expelled from the sun, called Asura’s. Their combined intelligence is indicated by the name ‘Sorat’, the being who aims to splice off peaces of the Self (16). By obscuring the purpose of Humanity they can try to splice the Self of humans, which actually is a oneness, and to use these ‘pieces of the Self’ (viz. being warmth-organization) to use it for the incorporation of an Asura being in a human body. This sometimes already happens, recognizable by the empty dark eyes of some people who mostly radiate a glowing hatred (which itself is undirected, unpurified dark warmth). Transforming them is possible by the following. By his crucifixion in the Etheric-Life World (17) Christ has been able to let new elemental beings flow into the Etheric-Life World with the qualities of Love and Freedom, which we can thus use to furnish these beings again with seeds of development and growth, and if possible to transform them in a process of development for the good. We then need to bring them in a subordination to Humanity. Out of (our) wisdom and warmth we can try to offer them seeds of a freedom of their own, so they can clarify, transform and enlighten their undifferentiated ‘hate-warmth’ – although this is going to be a very slow process of gaining awareness. It’s also not possible to realize this completely before Christ has ‘conquered’ the 9th inner layer of the Earth (18), where a fallen Seraphim (‘previous’ Angel of Love) brings about hate and black magic (19). The UFO’s, whether they inspire, work through or collaborate with governmental powers, corporate powers and scientists, or are tools of other powers with their own aim, attempt to create a break-away of Humanity and the Earth from the Cosmos and stars and planets where the angels reside who guide us, forcing us to and leaving us with the single one-sided focus on a materialistic development. This tendency reveals itself e.g. in encircling and shielding of Humanity and the Earth from the Cosmos by satellites and Bush’s SDI, and the closing of domiciles with glassy domes as an UV-filter. The point is we humans are able to keep that freedom and connection with the Cosmos alive. We need to figure out ourselves what the connection is we have to the stars. We can do so by trying to realize out of our free will the Cosmic ideas that reside in our being as ideals (phantom body). Thus we can grow by shaping and acting out of our own will, letting it pass through the processes of our heart and thus binding the fallen elemental beings (UFO’s) on to us and learn to direct them out of our will with and out of our feelings (faculties of Inspiration & Intuition). A portal for doing so is to get to the bottom of what takes place in our inward life to eventually learn to consciously direct it out of our organ processes (20). Notes 1. This is according to their standards; a gnome by the way has the same idea about us, because he has ‘been around’ for [helping] as long as at least the physical existence is there and he “knows” everything about this because he “ís” this knowledge. 2. This is a based on a postulate of contemporary materialistic science, which is very convenient for them to apply for their cause; Goethean Science reveals apes descend from us. 3. The reason for my blunt outspokenness about this is because during my recent visit to California I had meetings with a woman who was haunted by them and a mountain-spirit who had deteriorated quite far because of them. I was called upon to fight them to free those two from their influences. After I had focused my attention on them and tried to empathize into the souls of the person and the mountain-spirit, they fell from them like dark crusts of mechanical workings [as matter of fact without much power in them but that of the mechanism itself] and with metallic sounds in the Etheric-Life World. This has clarified and sharpened my consciousness about their workings. Note of the editor: Nicolaas in this case also refers to work with Cosmic Power Points [Stonehenge and Pike’s Peak are such points] through which one directly works with elemental beings, like Deva’s, who are Angels of Mother Earth, and with e.g. gnomes and nymphs. Everything is permeated by such beings and thus the physical appearances (a tree, a landscape, a mountain) appear to be profoundly gifted and embodied with a soul. 4. As there are 9 hierarchies of angels, which form an upward ladder into the spiritual world [from angel, archangel to seraphim] - and to which the various elemental beings belong which are steered by those angels-, there is also a down-ward ladder of angels who have “fallen”, which means they have sacrificed themselves for Earth-existence and its purpose for humans to become spirits of love and freedom. 5. By the way they are not the only ones going for a human development. There are various stories like Morgana le Fay in the legend of King Arthur. Also fairy-tales like pinnochio etc. 6. Vulcan-earth is the esoteric expression for the final (7th) planetary phase. Earth went through 3 previous condensing planetary phases and is now in its 4th phase. ‘Saturn’ is the so-called first phase (Fire/Warmth, planting of the physical body), the second is the Old Sun-phase [condensing Warmth into Light and Air/planting of the etheric body], the third is the Moon-phase [condensing of the substance of the second into Water/ planting the astral body] and in the 4th this was condensed into the physique: Earth/ planting of the “Self/ the I” [this Self/I is pure activity and it serves itself of the three bodies soul, etherbody and physical body], the 5th phase is the Jupiter-Earth (also known as the New Jerusalem or Shamballa ), development of the faculty of Imagination/Clair-voyancy/Manas, the 6th phase is Venus-Earth, the development of the faculty of Inspiration/ Clair-audiency and sentiency/Buddhi and the 7th phase is the Vulcan-Earth, development of the faculty of Intuition/ Clair-volitancy/Atma. 7. A clarifying remark made by Rudolf Steiner is that in every planetary phase the ones who are in the center of the development are ‘disturbed’ by those who are next in line for their [i.c. human] development. This means that in the 3rd planetary phase the beings that we now call angels and who went through their human-development then, were disturbed by us !. 8. At this moment it is not possible to say something about the Nordics in this context, due to yet insufficient research. 9. See my book “Science Otherwise” about ‘fields’, from page 374 and onwards (translation in English in progress). 10. They need machines where we humans, when we carry on with an inward development, wouldn’t be dependent on machines as much as they are for transportation. We would e.g. be able to ‘step out’ of our physical body and move to another spot in the (Spiritual) world in an instant. 11. Some observations of people who were under hypnoses reveal ritual gatherings of leading people in the USA in which reptilians frequently took part. This is e.g. not surprising when one thinks of how many people of this American Elite who owe their power to the oil-industry. 12. This name originates from Angrimanju – the angry man – from the Persian Era that started around 5000 BC who fought the Sun-God Ahura Mazdao [who in those days was the form in which the Christ-being worked and revealed himself] , and in the Bible he’s known as Satan. 13. This being is composed of an interplay of forces, which are the elemental beings [which are our thoughts and impulses of will] that we haven’t mastered, have become conscious of or have transformed. These forces are characterized as subterranean, viz. it uses electro-magnetism. Clairvoyant observation can perceive it as a tall (3 meters) green being. The double isn’t “bad” by the way; it is there to stimulate us to incarnate and to develop ourselves by its resistance. A lot of movies integrate aspects of it: The Hulk, The Grinch, The Mask, the ‘monster’ who fights Spiderman in the 2002-movie, The Star Trek’ Nemesis movie (2002/2003), but also the guys in black suits in The Matrix). 14. The phantom body is a body that’s just behind the physical body - in between the physical and the etheric bodies- which is a non-physical physical body. It contains all the spiritual substance and knowledge of a physical body, and it’s a tenuous body of warmth in which the forces of the star-constellations reside which a human-being has visited during her/his pre-birth path towards incarnating, These star-constellations [72, besides those of the Zodiac] contain the thoughts of the Gods and the higher ideals for our development. Christ was the first to appear in such a body after his resurrection. 15. God the Father consists of the purpose of creation, he creates through ‘his’ Son-forces, referred to as Christ, and the necessary awareness thereof he gains through the Mother-forces, viz the Holy Spirit; as said this process takes place in a dynamic cooperation. 16. This name originates from the Cabbala and has come up in the Revelation of St. John in the number “666”. This is thus deducted: 400 in Hebrew is the word “Taw”, which refers to ‘the lower Self’ [TA], 200 is the word “Resch”, which refers to the astralbody [R], 6 means “Waw”, which refers to the etheric body [O] and 60 is the word “Samech”, which refers to the physical body [S]. By reading the letters between [ ] backward, it gives SORAT, which means that all the 3 bodies [astral, etheric and physical] are put in the service of the lower Self. Sorat is the other Beast, “the dragon that comes out of the Earth” spoken of in the Rev. of St. John, Chapter 13-11: He gives his power to the “first Beast” [13:12, 3, 4] “that comes out of the Sea” [which is Satan;13:1]. 17. In the Bible this is traceable in how his “Second Coming” is foresaid to take place, where it is referred to as a return on “the heavenly clouds”; this is an esoteric expression for the Etheric-Life World. See: Gospel of St. Matthew Chapt. 24:30, 26:64 and Revelation of St. John Chapt. 1:7. Jesaiah Ben Aharon in “Das geistige Ereignis des 20. Jahrhunderts - eine Imagination", has figured out this ultimately has happened in the year 1942, when the Holocaust had reached its deepest point. The people of “The Roaring Kettle” have had similar experiences which (for them) point at the validity of this observation. 18. He is now still waiting for Ahriman to incarnate, so he can transform the 8th layer - which is Ahrimans domain. 19. When Christ said “Fear not for I have overcome the World” this also refers to the ability to transform the subterranean forces. How this works is a topic for another article. 20. These have to do with the main 7 organs and their cohering Chakra’s.
Economics - Excerpt from ‘Science Otherwise’ I Introduction. Economics as the Objectivity of Desires and Passions. Basics of the Twelve-Foldedness. In the Economy products or their manufacturers on the one hand and consumers on the other, find one another, and by the mechanism of demand and supply the prices of goods are determined. Underlying this principle is the scope of the needs of every human being who is part of the population on Earth. The primary necessities of life like nutrition, drinking, clothing and having a roof over our heads are such needs. This just as well goes for exchanging thoughts, manufacturing goods and therefore the refining of raw materials and the refining of our faculties, as well as the social need of the desire to mean something to the other and exchange warmth. In short, in the Economy the drives, which are connected to the life activities of our organs, find expression. Although, this realm of drives is mostly still unpurified, which is shown by the following. Warfare between people(s) and nations is increasingly considered as barbaric. But within the economy it is still thought of as quite normal to conquer markets, arouse needs rather than merely meeting them, compete with one another in a life-and-death struggle, take over or confiscate competitors, a.o. via the so called “hostile take-overs”. Every purpose of attaining an economic hold and to let it grow stronger, where ever possible, is generally approved of. Taken from an astrosophical point of view, the needs that come to light and well up out of Life, have to do and coincide with the twelve realms of Life, which are covered by the houses of the horoscope (as such the houses consist of a reflection of the Etheric World, which constructs and maintains the physical world, having its micro reflection in our Etheric and physical Body). The following is an elaboration thereof, via giving some of their contemporary forms of appearance in the Economy (+ their ruling zodiacal signs, mundane ruling planets and specific element). They are: I– The need for the realization of one’s self through action. A reflection of the function of the gall, the force of the Self in the blood (Aries, Mars, Fire). In the Economy this comes about within the creation of idols (e.g. within sports and the music and entertainment industry) and programmed profiles of activity (group travels, advertising and sponsoring, being absorbed in 9-5 jobs 5 days a week, fortified a.o. by mergers of large corporations). This shows the attempt and/or tendency to manipulate people in their activities of will. II– The need for a handhold in earthly things. This can be in the form of possessions, forms and goods in one’s surroundings like e.g. real estate. The transformation of the earthly by means of art is an expression thereof (also trading art is such a handhold). It is a reflection of the pancreas, whereby the fluxes of Life take care of the earthly handhold (Taurus, Venus, Earth). In the Economy this is reflected in the monetary and banking system which takes care of the flow and canalization of goods. Therefore the Stock and Option market and Long Term (goods) Trading markets belong to this, as well as the World Trade Organization, agriculture, brokerage, cattle breeding, the trade in gem stones and jewelry, and the oil-business. III – The need for impressions and exchange; the absorption of what is going on in the world. This is a reflection of the function of the lungs (Gemini, Mercury, Air/Light). In the Economy this is about the flow of information via TV, the internet, newspapers, magazines and other forms of media. Also education, in as much as it transfers knowledge (it is not meant here as in the sense of schooling). The trade in general as a connection and communication (which in its self is without a morality - trade is trade). IV – The need for a domestic enwrapment wherein one can inwardly digest one’s experiences and feelings. This is a reflection of the function of the stomach (Cancer, the Moon, Water). In the Economy this coheres with interior design. In music it comes about as the ballads of Life (also the sentimental ones) which try to intensify feelings. Other forms are doctors- and love novels, the film- industry, personal hygiene (fitness, bodybuilding, sauna’s, health resorts, massage, beauty parlors, cupboards for domestic medications and remedies), hotels and one’s favourite bar. Also: nutrition. V – The need to express oneself towards others and one’s surroundings as a centrally experienced being and as a unique individuality, and to conduct its direction. This is a reflection of the function of the heart (Leo, Sun, Fire). In the Economy this appears as the culture of recreation as in hobbies, going out, do-it-yourself, vacations and tourism. Also gambling, the care for the interior and clothing ([e-]mail order firms), taking care of one’s personal appearance (improvement of the body, such as artificial hair, silicone prosthesis, face-lifts). Besides this also the stock market as a hole in the economy, out of which one intends to manipulate its direction by a.o. creaming off the flows of money. Making a career and the looking for specific groups, like yups. Entrepreneurship; small- and medium sized businesses. Donations for good causes. VI –
The need for a critical analysis and to put oneself at the service of
others or processes. This is a reflection of the processes in the digestion
(Virgo, Mercury, Earth). In the Economy this can be agriculture, therapeutics
as a guiding path for process (within different therapeutic professions),
the care taking professions (doctors, nurses and other hospital staff),
providing service (logistics, tax lawyers), accountants and consultancy’s
(who’s work is mostly confined to critical analyses and VII – The need for somebody else, being and getting together, listening, opening one’s self up to the other; to organize in a communual manner. This is a reflection of the function of the kidneys (Libra, Venus, Air/Light). In the Economy this will be diplomacy, mediation between corporations (like in cartels, joint-ventures, holdings etc.) and between corporations and employees (like employment agencies, secondment companies, recruiting and selection companies and headhunters), between people (marriage/family cases) and mediation in e.g. labour cases. Also legal counseling, arbitration and psychotherapy. VIII- The need
to experience the intensity and challenges of Life; the pure drive of
survival (this is closely connected to sexuality and death experiences).
This is a reflection of the forces of the Tree of Life that well up from
beneath the coccyx and at first reveal themselves as the libido and sexuality.
A certain drive for power and control coheres with this need (Scorpio,
Pluto, Water). IX – The need to enlarge one’s views, spiritual development and growth. This is a reflection of the synthesizing function of the liver and the up striving force of the muscles of the thighs (Sagitarry, Jupiter, Fire). In the Economy this comes about as books (through publishing companies, but also via websites, etc.), education and schooling, sports activities, propaganda (advertising) as an expansion of the market for products, the (cultural) travel industry (e.g. to places of pilgrimage), economic growth as a belief, trainings for (spiritual) management, religion as a commercial product (TV-priests etc.), visiting exhibitions and museums, the broadcasting of cultural programs. X – The need to distinguish one’s identity by means of (social) status. This is a reflection of the function of the spleen as a gesture of will that has become, the skeleton as an articulated and cohering whole and which build up shows a hierarchy (Capricorn, Saturn, Earth). In the Economy this appears as professional trainings, the cultivation of symbols of status, the public economy (departments, the administrative machinery on provincial and municipal levels), big national and multinational corporations and their inner branches and their relationship to one another (the tendency of and urge for mergers brings about superficiality and a de-individualization of humanity and its culture). Management consultancy. Chambers of Commerce, the revenue, exclusive clubs (Rotary, fraternities, secret societies and orders). The film industry as an objectivation of the watch sense; so also camera, TV, internet, video. Alpinism. XI –
The need for the exchange of warmth, forms of culture and the nourishment
of one another, friendships and spiritually akin friends. This is a reflection
of the connection between the functions of the heart and the spleen; gestures
of warmth and will (Aquarius, Uranus, Air/Light) XII – The need to draw back in one’s self to inwardly experience the richness and oneness. This is a reflection of the functions of the heart and the liver; clair-audiency of inner sounds and images that are formed. This can turn into drawing back from the world and the desire to be taken up within the larger whole, generating the battle for either going up into nothingness - viz. dissolving – or into the beingness – i.c. the spiritual world (Pisces, Neptune, Water). Forms in the Economy are the large institutions like hospitals, retirement homes, sanitariums, monasteries, psychiatrically homes and clinics etc.. Included are also funeral directors and the collection of refuse and combustion services. Besides this the satisfaction of the need for a depth psychology, meditation, yoga, the group consciousness around a guru (the dissolving of the one’s ego), experiences of myths and fairy tales (e.g. the one of Christophorus). Also audio techniques belong to this (the auditory organ); classical or popular music concerts, visiting discotheques, techno, house which e.g. gives the tendency of forgetting one’s self for a while. This latter aspect carried further points to means of intoxication (drugs and alcohol; also the newer forms of smart pills, xtc etc. although these have been developed out of the need for analysis and the guidance of processes of the sixth house). This list, although far from complete, reveals that the contemporary created and existing forms are there to satisfy the twelve basic needs, but that these forms also have a deteriorated, misformed, one-sided and/or abusive character, e.g. labeling people as being merely “consumers”. This becomes apparent when one tries to gain awareness about a way how these needs could be shaped in an authentic manner so they will be able to coincide with the nature of those needs. Thus, a striving can come about focused on creating such forms and products that fulfill as much as possible the real underlying needs which cohere with the characterizations of and seeds for development which human beings carry within. At first this requires the development of cognition about the needs of the human being, then about the social organism of the society in which the human being is embedded, and then it requires making moral decisions - over and over again. This process of gaining cognition and awareness goes quite far, for each object that you make, each deed you execute has an economical consequence, because by it you make a choice to either enter the economic intercourse or not. The sphere of Life is strongly and directly connected with the Economy, although every action doesn’t have to directly take place in the money and exchange market. But, the effects of an action are indeed registered in the World Memory (Akasha Chronicle), and other people take this up either consciously or subconsciously. Every action thus at least forms a social gesture. Besides the needs outlined above, which create Life on an economic level, there are the processes of the organs which form the mediating force between Life and its drives. They generate seven workings of the soul which reflect this (this is the part of the soul of the processes of Life) and these are thus transposed in wishes and/or desires: * The desire to strive for the clarification of the strivings of will by means of doing research (a reflection of the function of the spleen in the soul/Saturn). In the Economy this coincides with the desire for development via professions; also with new ways of manufacturing through carefully selected research. * The desire to understand and synthesize, to meditate on the effects of an action or an idea (a reflection of the function of the liver in the soul/Jupiter). In the Economy this appears as the desire to ascend on the societal ladder, so one can acquire a better clarity of arrangement and positions for making decisions. The attempt to gain influence in policy making and thus to contribute in determining future events by thinking about it. * The desire to realize strivings of the will (a reflection of the function of the gall in the soul/Mars). In the Economy this reflects the mobilization of labour to be able to finish manufacturing in a clearly directed way. This leads to undertaking of initiatives and (the) management (thereof). * The desire to create a balance between what comes from outside and that what comes from inside (a reflection of the function of the heart in the soul/Sun). In the Economy this comes about in attempts of gaining positions of central power, so one can group others around oneself and become in charge in a guiding, directing way (in small, at home, as well as in the bigger contexts). *The desire for clarity in the exchange of feelings and to “fall asleep” into the being of the other by connecting (a reflection of the function of the kidneys in the soul/Venus). In the Economy it appears in creating space, wherein the organizational forces can flow. Often by doing organizational, administrative or secretarial work; also office work. * The desire for communication and connection (a reflection of the function of the lungs in the soul/Mercury). In the Economy this comes about as the market in its broadest sense, where supply and demand meet through personal contact. * The desire
to support, care, reflect, consume and grow (a reflection in the soul
of Life with its germ forces and ongoing processes in the brains/the Moon).
In the Economy it consists of each consuming unity (single people, families,
communities etc.), as well as the manufacturing party All these workings of desires operate in a modifying way on the needs, through which more combinations become possible that form the configuration of a company. As such the products meet needs on the one hand and the way of manufacturing and of selling on the other according to the “soul-quality” of the company - the specific colouring of its being. As a matter of fact this also goes for the specific colouring of a working and living community (research on this can be done out of sociology). All the time there is a quest for new ways of manufacturing, viz. techniques that can ease up, speed up and thereby reduce the costs of manufacturing. To this aim someone has to set him/herself free from the economic sphere and do research. Thus, he can condense an idea stemming from the spiritual world into an operating principle (Steiner calls this the incarnation of a spiritual-idea into a means of manufacturing). All these ideas, each originating from one of the twelve directions of the world, are brought forth and indicated by the star signs of the Zodiac. Some of the indications are as follows: Aries - explosion
engines, starter machineries
As a result
of the unpurified condition of our life of feeling and the therewith cohering
variety of needs, which reflect themselves within the Economy, we find
the above described 'barbarism' in what these days is referred to as the
“Free Market Economy”. The Economy in itself is an unselfish
organism, but the people who engage in its realm haven’t reached
that stage on numerous domains. Various ideological systems have run aground
because of this (liberalism, socialism, communism), and only the crippled
and eroded “Democracy-in-name” still seems to function somewhat.
Its burocracy is more and more starting to become an autonomous unity,
whereupon not a single citizen who isn’t willing to lobby, has any
influence at all. Together with the deteriorate legal system they form
an Economy of and on its own, with its own laws. One can also try to communually sing the divisions of the company or institution in the way how it unfolds as a whole. In this way one creates with each other an artistic sound image, that is connected to one’s soul, with which one can make the historical course, by which the organization came into being, experienceable in one’s soul, and thus become aware of it. One can subsequently focus on claymodelling that what the will of the organization actually is through its products and set goals (this can be done for a football club as much as for a church community or a company). By going into this artistic process, one can get a better understanding for the organization and gain awareness of it, as well as the individual tasks and possibilities for development containing this. Viz. one can try to connect one’s self inwardly with the guiding Archangel, on the one hand by clarifying the organs through which he expresses himself within the organization, and thus to achieve a good division of tasks on the other hand. The latter by asking him to directly work into the thus developed consciousness of the participating people. Here the mentioned artistic processes help to connect and develop consciousness. Then one can ask one’s self the question of how the goals and possibilities of development can be attuned to each other. One then comes to making moral decisions on which basis the goals and/or products can be attuned. Here one enters into the realm of the superpersonal, in which the Archangel is active who leads the organization, and can decide to work with this or not. These Archangels, who connect themselves to an organization or institution, aren’t always the most harmonious beings, because they are in the middle of their development for they connect themselves through a company in a stronger way with the Earth. Earth itself isn’t their realm because of their personal karma. For participants who start to observe him, he can often show himself as rough, dragon-like, and this can be frightening. In order to come to organizations that are comprehensible and viable for each human being, one could unite in clearly structured, connections of cooperation, that can make practicable what every one has as qualities, talents and possibilities for development. To achieve this goal one has to focus on transforming the in itself unpurified economic life by connecting with one another on the basis of love and understanding for each others being (this is a basic prerequisite to subvert the competitive tendencies into a striving for associative connections). An ordinary company can be a model for this, which has been shaped and has been operating for several years, and has stabilized in growth and runs quite well. Thus the following organic functioning units can be distinguished herein: -The department
of Research (& Development) Thus, these seven joined 'organs' are mutually active as separate divisions, each having their own colouring and task. In these organs the Archangel impresses itself as being in the process of incarnating in the company and inspires the people who work there and thus guide them. If one meditates about its consequences, one can come to the insight that the total social organism, spans the Earth and is active in smaller and larger organic cooperating units, which goes from government of the state to that of a district, as well as companies and associations and that they function in these divisions. This seven-foldedness occurs within a three-foldedness. The first two divisions have the predominant characterization of thinking: research and development and directing a company especially exercise policy determination by the faculty of thinking. In the middle one finds how three divisions express, though somewhat hidden, the social aspects inside a company; viz. the execution of decisions, a platform of communication and the inner setting by the secretariat. This brings about the predominance of feeling. In the last two divisions the Life of the will of the company becomes visible; the manufacturing and flow of goods from and to the company. Here it is embedded in the entire economy, for it is connected to the life units of people who have needs of consuming. This seven-foldedness irrevocably reveals the visibility of the three-foldedness of the social organism (see the figure at p. 346; also compare with p. 287) The seven-foldedness can serve as wherein the 3 ideals of The French Revolution (freedom, equality and brotherhood) can be traced and worked out. The relative freedom that prevails in the division of thinking which is more directed towards the spirit (R&D and the directorate), the division in the middle is that is more directed towards the soul and meeting each other (management, policy gathering and the administration), in which there could be a striving more or less for equality, and the third division is more directed towards the will through purchasing and sales and manufacturing. Thee latter could serve as wherein the ideals of brotherhood could prevail (and be developed) in the Economy. However, because of the so intense struggle of competition this doesn’t come out at all. A lot is still directed at the mere survival (of the fittest) and growth of the company (it has always wondered me extremely how employees can get so hooked up on the goods they were taking care of or manufacturing, and I could hardly find in them any inward affinity – for them it apparently was more about the functioning within the totality of the corporate organism than about the product itself). Indeed being able to work for somebody else out of inward interest, and to want to strive for the three above mentioned ideals of freedom of spiritual life, equality and mutual understanding in the social setting, and brotherhood in the economic realm, one could start up associations of cooperations that indeed have this seven-foldedness as their basis, where one is not merely focused on the expansion of the company/institution/one’s self, but on the realization of the ideals and strivings of will that are present within those who cooperate. To achieve this goal or to get into the process to try to strive for that goal one can then support each other and strive for clarity in this realm. The consequence is that you thus, in an ordering manner, work in on one anothers karma. An underlying purpose here is that one can invoke a higher guiding Archangelic being with whom one can further work out of one’s own goals. Such a cooperating unity can have the following structure, arranged by the organic division (also see theognomics and sociology): * Saturn/spleen
division. * Jupiter/liver
division. * Mars/gall
division. * Venus//kidneys
division. * Mercury/lungs
division. * The Moon/sexual
organs division. * The Sun/heart
division. All this can function as a socially breathing entity, because the more spiritually directed part, out of which research and the shaping of ideas originates, is quite an inward happening. In the middle framework there‘s space for taking initiatives within a sound inward setting, meetings can take place, especially within the policy-organ which is in the core of it all. Therefore a platform needs to be created focused on and enabling to meet one another, exchange and consultate together - also with organizations from outside the cooperating body. That what shapes the basis of the company that stands within the economic realm, consists of the contacts with the surroundings, with other initiatives and work-relations, and the products that make contact with the outside world. There the manufacturing and products become visible (note that courses, trainings and service are products as well). Outlined it looks like the following:
Core of activities
that are directed towards the spirit (I & II): The participants
or representatives of these divisions can step in or out of these divisions
as they please (although when they want to step out they will have to
take care of adequate succession that has to be accepted by the others
). The freedom creates possibilities; the implementation of the divisions
and positions can occur according to their (soul) qualities. It has to
be clear that within this structure a person, I.e. who’s major task
within the organization it is to take care of connections with the outside
world - depending on his/her karma and cohering faculties - positively
can embark in other fields, like R&D. It is more about an emphasis
of filling in a position linked up with the acceptance of responsibility,
enabling to come to a good cooperation. By acknowledging and stimulating each others initiatives, qualities and faculties the participants can endeavour to produce the spiritual images and ideals which they carry inward in a better way. Thus, strivings for spiritual life (the essence of every ideal is actually such a striving) is addressed by cooperating out of its source. Out of such structured bodies of cooperation, which have such an open structure democracy can be transformed from the bottom up, out of consciousness. By lateral connections between mutually cooperating organizations and companies interactive forms of cooperation and associative networks can come into existence, each with their own platforms of exchange and questions. This prevents a lot of unnecessary competition, and fosters more cooperation and further refinement of manufacturing. As a matter of fact within society this can only become well practicable, when there is a build up, advancement and maintenance of a spiritual life, viz. (the coming into existence of) an ongoing constructive quest for the meaning and purpose of Life, that will nourish the social and economic Life. So, it calls for a renewing culture of New Mysteries. At the beginning of the 20th Century Rudolf Steiner also called forth for this, but it has hardly been taken up in culture. Cohering with this is the possibility to bring this about in society via an impulse of renewed education and a renewed Spiritual High School - this is elaborated on in chapter 7. In short it comes down to the following division (coinciding with the steps 2, 3 and 4 of Goethean Science): * Spiritual
Science. The working out of a keen, acute and vivid thinking towards an
imaginative consciousness (coinciding with the workings of the star images
of the Zodiac; workings of Uranus) Such an organization of spiritual life needs to go along with schooling, training and the protection of its contents for those who aren’t yet mature enough to receive it and/or work with it. This is logic since, as is described above, the realm of the will (passions) and the soul space (desires) initially are still unpurified. Shortly summarized: * The Economy
serves to provide in a 12-folded pattern of needs Out of these insights one can try to approach the economy and transform it in a way that does justice to each human being on his/her own level of development. For this purpose the forms mentioned above give some possibilities, but they can be worked out per division and group as is desired, preferred or needed. This can be achieved by: * A striving
for understanding in stead of a self-directed closing-off, within and The Templars as a revelation of esotheric Christianity - a Revelation of the Grail by Nicolaas de Jong. In the 12th
Century many things started to move in the spiritual and political field
in Europe. The Catholic church had shown many decayed processes, like
paying on forehand for ones sins, the richness in which higher priests
surrounded themselves (as being often from a high noble background), and
the growing power of the civilians in the cities, which showed clearly
the disbalance in possession of noblemen, clergy at the one side and peasants
at the other, with the growing power of the citizens in the background.
Spiritually the malcontent showed itself in a strong growth of groups
of cathars, of which the Albigenzes in France were the strongest. Many
church authorities turned against these people, and they were called develish
and pagan, and ultimately were even extinguished (the Albigenzes at Mount
Segur in the Pyrenees). Around 3000
years before Christ, Abraham, the father of both Jews and Arabs, conquerred
the Fillistines in Palestina and after his victory, he entered the region
where later on there should come the city of Jerusalem. From the caves
of mount Moria (one of the two mountains on which Jerusalem is built nowadays)
the priest Melchizedek came to him, offering him on a plate a chalice
with in it wine, and besides it a piece of bread. This ritual act was
the forebode of what Christ did 3000 years later at the Holy Supper, telling
his disciples that the wine was His blood, and the bread His body (for
through His death and resurrection He became the Lord over the Earth ever
since). Now if you look thoroughly to those three things, you can understand
that these are closely connected to the three higher spiritual capacities
man can develop when he individualises himself. A chalice has the form
that our soul may become when we open it up for the spirit, in such a
way that the angels may form images in this chalice. We call this clairvoyancy
or imagination. The wine as being Christs blood one can see as the faculty
of inspiration, which means that through the feelings, which are awoken
in the heart (where the blood is being centered and sent into the body),
we can learn to guide processes by each time balancing from the feelings.
And the bread is the summary of the physical body, for in it come to a
blossoming the highest fruits of the Earth. It is the high spiritual capacity
that we can develop when we develop our ideals and thus transform ourselves
and our surroundings. This capacity is called intuition, which we may
have from other beings as well, for example when we see all of a sudden
clearly the possibillity for development of another person. So through
this ritual Melchizedek made a kind of promise to Abraham. Notes: 1. In the 10th century the pope had forbidden
to sail the Americas, as he knew the double over there grew quite strong.
Before that time the existence of it was quite known. Return to Home
