Pioneering Soul and I AM evolution:
"Only he has an inner
right to speak of evolution in the domain of outer nature who
acknowledges this evolution also in the sphere of soul and spirit."

Developing, perfecting and advancing means;
gaining and earning insights into the workings of the etheric
body, astral body and ego and also confronting etheric obstructions
and child hood illnesses in the hereditary model. Overcoming
dysfunctions is not gained by clinging to failed ideas of race,
religion, blood, bad education, poor diet, and submerging the
higher ego into religious creeds and habits that hinder the I
AM from developing itself further.
Insights into your Etheric body are not readily
supplied by the AMA. Healthy food is not always served in School
lunches or packaged in supermarkets. You may be a RedNeck if...you
continue to incarnate in racially prejudicial karmic connections
or find yourself passed out weekly at some sports stadium. Evolution
of the soul amounts to clear observation and distinction between
dumb ass, destructive behavior, either religious or sports related;
Or; struggling in your I Am with higher paradigms of the science
of the human being, which are not beliefs, but facts of soul-spirit
and body.

"...Either we must abandon
the whole natural-scientific theory of evolution, or we must
admit that it must be extended to include the evolution of the
soul. There are only two alternatives: either, every soul is
created by a miracle, just as the animal species would have to
be created by miracles if they have not developed one out of
the other, or, the soul has developed and has previously existed
in another form, just as the animal species has existed in another
form.
"A few modern thinkers
who have preserved some clarity and courage for logical thinking
are a living proof of the above conclusion. They are just as
unable to familiarize themselves with the thought of soul evolution,
so strange to our age, as are the modern believers characterized
above.
"... in the book, Neuchristentum
und reale Religion (Neo- Christianity and Real Religion), by
Julius Baumann (see Note 8), professor of philosophy at the University
of Goettingen, we find the following (twenty-second) paragraph
among the thirty-nine paragraphs of a Sketch of a Summary of
Real-Scientific Religion: "Just as in inorganic nature the
physical-chemical elements and forces do not disappear but only
change their combinations, so is this also to be assumed, according
to the real scientific method, in respect of the organic and
organic-spiritual forces. The Human soul as a formal unity, as
connecting Ego, returns in new human bodies and is thus enabled
to pass through all the stages of human evolution."
"...is it not a disgrace
if we have to hear a sentence like the following, which was pronounced
by the Breslau chemist Albert Ladenburg, in a lecture at a recent
(1903) Conference of scientists: "Do we know anything about
a substratum of the soul? I have no such knowledge." After
having made this confession, this same man continues: "What
is your opinion concerning immortality? I believe that in regard
to this question, more than in regard to any other, the wish
is father to the thought, for I do not know a single scientifically
proven fact which might serve as the basis for the belief in
immortality."
"What would the learned
gentleman say if we were confronted by a speaker who said: "I
know nothing about chemical facts. I therefore deny the chemical
laws, for I know not a single scientifically proven fact which
might serve as the basis for these laws." Certainly, the
professor would reply: "What do we care about your ignorance
of chemistry? first study chemistry, then do your talking!"
Professor Ladenburg does not know anything about a substratum
of the soul; he, therefore, should not bother the world with
the findings of his ignorance.
"Only he has an inner
right to speak of evolution in the domain of outer nature who
acknowledges this evolution also in the sphere of soul and spirit.
Now, it is clear that this acknowledgment, this extension of
knowledge of nature beyond nature is more than mere cognition.
For it transforms cognition into life; it does not merely enrich
man's knowledge, it provides him with the strength for his life's
journey. It shows him whence he comes end whither he goes. And
it will show him this whence and whither beyond birth and death
if he steadfastly follows the direction which this knowledge
indicates.
"He knows that everything
he does is a link in the stream which flows from eternity to
eternity. The point of view from which he regulates his life
becomes higher and higher. The man who has not attained to this
state of mind appears as though enveloped in a dense fog, for
he has no idea of his true being, of his origin and goal. He
follows the impulses of his nature, without any insight into
these impulses. He must confess that he might follow quite different
impulses, were he to illuminate his path with the light of knowledge.
"Under the influence
of such an attitude of soul, the sense of responsibility in regard
to life grows constantly. If the human being does not develop
this sense of responsibility in himself, he denies, in a higher
sense, his humanness. Knowledge lacking the aim to ennoble the
human being is merely the satisfying of a higher curiosity. To
raise knowledge to the comprehension of the spiritual, in order
that it may become the strength of the whole life, is, in a higher
sense, duty. Thus it is the duty of every human being to seek
the understanding for the Whence and Whither of the Soul. [see How Karma Works — e.Ed.] "

Bradford comments;
Yes, I know this post heding is just a day
old, but I hope, and I do hope we understand what we read when
we read it. I hope you see, that which I quoted from the above
lecture location of Dr. Steiner, regarding Karma, regarding the
passion Steiner had to reveal the mystery of the I Am in a dumb
and dense, scientific world. I hope you read Steiner's heroic,
isolated, absolutely alone role in presenting things that would,
if ever, taken 200 years for the sluggish, silly and massively
destructive thinking of science to consider.
Here was a scientist of both Chemistry and
a Scientist of the Human Soul, Dr. Steiner. Steiner's words on
the Music of the Spheres in relation to tone and their numbers
and relationships, and the relationships of those numbers, to
matter and to matter's chemical organization is stunning. Most
of us on this list have no idea what I am talking about, that
is tragic. He takes the Music of the Spheres, Kepler's brilliant
analogy and Mystical Fact as a relation to chemistry. Steiner
brings this as a Scientist, as a math construct to the world,
that comes out of the Devachan world. Isn't this important to
you of the Michael School as it hinges on the entire framework
of the Resurrection?
When I say Christ is a master of the Atomic
Table and the Imagination of the Human Form arises out of the
Logos and that Mary Magdalene was an eyewitness to it... What
are we in the Michael School dawdling about? Have we no ability
to put these facts together and stand up for the I AM?
What do you think we are talking about with
Diluted Uranium or Chernobyl or Dr. StrangeLove and "The
Church of the UnRisen Light"? These shrunken headed morons
rule every university and we, would be hog tied by the likes
of Peter Staudenmaier or Science; Or Political Ahrimanic forces
in the U.S. and military, who, like most us, are in denial? Do
we not have weapons from Michael Intelligence and the lone battles
Dr. Steiner fought, to confront the crass lies and materialism
that our entire culture is resting on? We don't act like it.
I brought this specific quote as drawing a
relationship between Peter Staudenmaier and the entire Science,
cloning and evolutionary bullshit that Ladenburg flaps his gums
at. Steiner, myself and most of the people on this list are pissed
off, but we have also had a chance to think into the issue, review.
And this issue and our review over the issue of race has been
less than educational to the wide members of the Open Michael
School. We review but we review under snake rules, not I Am rules.
This is not polemics, this is illness, mental retardation, ignorance.
Steiner was pissed off about it. And so are we!
I say to all of us in the Michael School,
look at the lonely heroism, and passion of this one lone researcher
holding in his heart, the Karma and Science of the Christ Event,
against a massive Dragon, in Steiner's face and foaming polemic.
Here is is one Initiate with a lone sword. Here Tarjei, Andrea,
Paulina and so many of us have shown the drama of the Racial
attacks that bombarded the German Cultural Mission of I AM, Fichte
based, capacity to think. A cultural capacity to think, a different
ability than the Native American to track in the deep forests,
but to track the I Am in the forests of the Spirit. Here a monster
like Hitler was the response to the Munich I AM Steiner was holding
onto as a solo Initiate. Here was Paul once more facing Rome.
Here, buried in texts, upon heroic texts, are the record of Steiner's
first blows to create space for human insight to go deeper than
it has ever, EVER gone.
And here we have had the opportunity to hear
from Peter Staudenmaier who knows nothing of Spirituality and
is in the same mental framework as Ladenburg. Steiner's passion
against this statement is the same passion, and clarity, we should
have when confronted with such blatant, unresearched, ignorant
crap. We have the tools, and we are either afraid to use them,
or we haven't a bloody clue what Dr. Steiner was all about. Which
is it?
