How to Globalize a Quintessentially German Practice? Anthroposophy in the Vortex of Globalization
Просмотров 805 месяцев назад
June 19, 2024 Prof. Dr. Helmut Zander (Université de Fribourg) Anthroposophy is a product of the esoteric fever around 1900 and one of the few groups which still exist as institutions today. Its founder, Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), claimed that a supernatural world could be recognized with certainty, as in the natural sciences. Central ideas came from the Theosophy of Blavatsky and Olcott, but ...

Просмотров 855 месяцев назад
June 18, 2024 Dr. Judith Bachmann (Universität Heidelberg) The oracle Ifá is in a very interesting position. On the one hand, it is considered the entry point into a Yoruba ontology. On the other hand, it is categorised as a divination practice, comparable to other oracles worldwide. As the first observation goes, any and every Yoruba concept should be explained through Ifá, its practices but e...

Very interesting. Thanks
CAS Erlangen, would you accept donations for the purchase of a new microphone?
Sound is messed up.
Actually, astrologers don't really rely on that simplistic definition of Jung's synchronicity anymore as an explanation of how astrology works. I found this conversation very superficial and disappointing. It is not just a matter of people adapting an ancient tradition to the zeitgeist- the way people use astrology in pop culture in apps and social media is a topic of anthropological interest but being utterly confused here with the question about the theoretical foundation of astrology. There is in fact a lot of discussion and research taking place in the field of astrology that the participants seem completely unaware of, no surprise given astrology's current place largely outside academia. For anyone interested in in-depth studies of the rationale behind astrology I would point them for instance to Keiron Le Grice's work on Jung, and for a perspective from science, Bruce Scofield. Chris Brennan has a book and podcast (among a huge library of lengthy and informative podcasts) on the issue of fate in astrology.
IMHO "Fusing Esotericism, Science, Spirituality, and Promoting Environmental Conservation, at Art & Science Museums Around the World" is a great thing and does not exclude God in any way. It's called enlightenment! So does that make me a dark green Gaian Animist??? (DGR?) And I suppose the 'dark' part is supposed to have a negative connotation. Because of course Christianity has the monopoly on "the light". BS.
Very poor sound quality 😢
Nature Spirits and Elemental Beings by Pogacnik. Good book for those interested in that topic.
Where there is design,it is logical to realise there must have been a Designer first. People are being encouraged to venerate the creation,rather than the Creator.
You're right! All hail Arceus, the Original One! 🫶
The simple but profound force of "being". it is the spark of light out of the darkness. it is binding principle of all things. To be is to stand above the nothing, above the cold vacuum of infinite dark. It is the essential and pervasive force like gravity and yet it is always beyond our comprehension
Not if you look at the evidence of how things came to be from simpleness, all the element's took billions of years to come about so don't jump to superstitious forces that comes out of fear for the unknown and in no way can be proven. Imagination has its place...
I’m so confused 🤷♂️ You seem upset that people are becoming more aware. How is anything you pointed out a bad thing? I think your presentation had the opposite of the intended effect on me. All the things you pointed out made me much more hopeful. ✌️
I got the impression that he is showing how the worldview is pushing people to worship the creation rather than the Creator. The product is being venerated rather than the Producer. Imagine being the designer of amazing inventions but your name is never mentioned,as if these wonderful inventions just appeared out of nowhere and made themselves. The source of all life is our Creator. Logic tells us that where there is design,there must have been a Designer first!
@@joeythebushkangaroo1 actually that "logic" has been debunked for well over a thousand years. Evolution created what are apparently well designed organisms through natural selection.
Wonderful presentation. Thanks for putting it out.
