Inner Development for World Development Group
“Inner Development for World Development Group.” We meet 5pm Tuesday fortnightly
at Steiner House
WHO YOU ARE:
* You are aware of a deep longing within that has recently been awoken by the words of Rudolf Steiner. You have lots of questions and are beginning to fill yourself with some of the majestic imaginations of Anthroposophy
or
* You have attended public lectures and read a few books
Steiner wrote. You may already have struggled with doing the exercises or meditations that Steiner recommends for healthy balanced esoteric growth but have not been able to maintain your practice or
* You have realised that you stand in the world as a vessel for Anthroposophia and are interested in supporting others in the deeper work.
INTENTIONS: You will choose your own exercises to work on. You will work at your own pace. Others may make suggestions or give you feedback -but the choice will be yours own and you will hold yourself accountable.
We will witness and support your commitment to yourself.
Steadfastness stands higher than success
RS: Knowledge of Higher Worlds
To encourage an imaginative consciousness within the group we will balance the inner work by engaging in artistic processes led by different people in the group.
During school holidays we will meet 5-8pm where we can share our biographies – to help us become more aware of the divinity within each.
You will be encouraged to embark on spiritual research into your deepest heartfelt questions and share this journey with us.
In the last few years of his life Steiner increasingly spoke of the necessity and great esoteric significance to learn to work in Spiritual Science based groups. Are you motivated to keep coming back when one of us annoys, irritate or offends you; or when life gets demanding, distracting or complicated?
‘Life gets more luminous
Life gets more arduous’ ……when you truly seek your destiny star. RS

Russia and the Arts
2019-07-23 19:00 | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Russia and the Arts. Well, we all know about Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, Chekhov and Turgenev, Pasternak and Solzhenitsyn. We listen to Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky. When ballet is mentioned, the first name that may come to mind is Nureyev. And then there are Malevich , Repin and Kandinsky (who wrote the Spiritual in Art). But representatives of the modern Mongol-Tartar stream contradict Sergey O. Prokofiev and Rudolf Steiner, and weigh and measure quantitatively and claim that Russians sleep. And yet the spiritual is apparent in all fields of art. Even the centrality of the omnipresent symbol of Moscow, Saint George, reminds us of the mission of Russia and the coming age. The history of Russia suggests that the people are being prepared to make individual decisions…. Can we as Westerners awaken and experience with clarity the Russian encounter between polarities that makes their arts so unique? In 2013 David Wansbrough was awarded the Russian medal, Man of Peace, by Nikolai Nikolaevich Drozdov. Since being invited to Russia in 1993, he has gone a couple of times each year as a visiting professor. Eleven of his books have been published in the Russian language. Lecture with David Wansbrough at Rudolf Steiner House starting at 7pm.

Artistic Imagination and Supersensible Knowledge
2019-07-30 19:00 | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Artistic Imagination and Supersensible Knowledge: The art of living a spiritual year. Around the four major festivals that fall on the solstices and equinoxes: Christmas, Easter, St. John’s and Michaelmas there are four ancient fire festivals that mark the transition from one cosmic imagination to the next . They are different in the south to the north and becoming more conscious of the collaborative work of the Archangels in our annual cycle of festivals enhances how we participate in developing the seed cosmic imaginations for the future. This talk, continuing from Martin’s last talk, will introduce the current situation from August to November in our region. The focus this evening will be on how the southern cosmic imaginations lead us to developing both artistic and supersensible capacities. Martin has worked with the southern cosmic imaginations for 25 years and would like to share his research questions with people who are interested in observing and adding their own insights to the community. Lecture with Martin Samson at Rudolf Steiner House starting at 7pm.

Saturday 3rd August DOCKLANDS Library at The Dock, L.2, 107 Victoria Harbour Promenade,
Docklands. (Trams:11, 48, 35, 70, 75) Southern Cross Sta.: 1.2Km 15 mins.
10:00-11:30am – A Look Inside the World, will focus on how our ancestors saw a living nature rather than a mechanical one, and how this vision informed Goethe’s view of the world and that we can discover and learn how to use this today.
2:00-3:30pm – A Different Kind of Knowing, before reason and logic and the study of “facts”, a different kind of knowing, the total picture of reality prevailed. Although radically different, these two ‘knowings’ are not mutually exclusive. There have always been individuals throughout history who have combined both “facts” and the bigger picture.

Gary Lachman Lectures- Dark Star Rising
2019-08-06 19:00 | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Tuesday 6th August, starting at 7pm: Dark Star Rising. Did “positive thinking” and “mental science” help put Donald Trump in the White House? And are there other kinds of “occult politics” at work in the world today? In my book Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, I look at the strange magical and esoteric ideas that are informing postmodern politics in the United States and Russia in the twenty-first century. From New Thought to Chaos Magick to the far-right esotericism of Julius Evola and the Traditionalists, a web of connections stretches out across the globe bringing together such disparate characters and phenomena as Norman Vincent Peale, Ayn Rand, Pepe the Frog, the Alt-Right, Vladimir Putin, President Trump, Reality TV, “meme magick” and much else in a weird tangle of postmodern occultism in which reality is up for grabs, facts give way to internet fictions, and truth is a negotiable commodity. My talk will try to find a path through this post-truth alternative fact landscape in reality is what you can get away with.

Gary Lachman Workshop weekend
2019-08-10 09:30 - 2019-08-11 15:00 | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th August workshop, starting at 9:30am each day: In search of our other mind through the lost knowledge of the Imagination and the Secret History of Consciousness. When we hear the word “imagination,” what do we think? Mostly we tend to see the imagination as a substitute for reality, as a form of wishful thinking, a pleasant alternative to the hard facts of life. Or we see it as a means of developing novel ideas, of being on the “cutting edge” of technology, a way of making things “bigger and better.” But this is not the only way to understand the imagination. For poets and scholars like Kathleen Raine, Henry Corbin, Owen Barfield, and others, the imagination is not a substitute for reality, but a way of grasping its essence. For them, imagination isn’t a form of “make believe,” but a faculty of cognition, a way of knowing things that would otherwise remain unknown. This knowledge was accessible at an earlier time, but in recent centuries it has been minimized, if not vigorously rejected, by our emphasis on “hard,” scientific thinking. My talk will look at the imagination as a faculty for grasping the invisible realities that surround us and at the tradition of knowledge rooted in it – a knowledge that, if lost, can still be recovered. What is consciousness? For many philosophers, scientists, and neurophysiologists today it is “nothing but” a by-product of processes going on in the brain. As Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA molecule, declared: “You, your joys and sorrows, your memories and ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are no more than the behaviour of a vast assembly of nerve cells and molecules.” Yet while this highly reductive view of consciousness dominates mainstream discussion, there has always been a counter tradition that sees consciousness not as a negligible epiphenomenon of neurons and synapses, but as the very foundation of existence. There has been what we can call “a secret history of consciousness,” a much more meaningful view of our inner world to which many important thinkers have contributed. My talk will look at some of these figures and at how their ideas can influence our world today.
