1 Newsletter of the Portland Branch of Anthroposophical Society Volume 109, August 2013 LIBRARY NEWS Last week the branch Library received a donation of 102 books from Marion Van Namen. This brings us to a total of 1,475 books. Most of these new books are titles that we did not already have. Marion is a music therapist and there were many books of a psychological nature, and many Dutch books. These are the first Dutch books in the library and constitute the second most books of any language in our collection. Marion Said she could use the space the books took up, and by donating them to us she could always borrow them if she wanted them. Marion, thank you for this donation. And thanks to Jannebeth Roell her for help in cataloging these books. THE GLYPH OF LEO BY DONNA KELLUM ~Tom Klein From mid August to mid September the sun in Leo is moving to the south. The bright light of summer is dulled by damp autumn air and the coming storms. One of the lines of the Cancer glyph has, as Klocek describes it, "burst free into a kind of swagger". From the tiny beginning circle -"seed" in Cancer, a whole new seed is now sprouting in Leo as the mirror image of the plant that produced it, except it appears to be reaching out now on its own, sensing into unforeseen dimensions, stretching beyond itself as it takes root. Leo stands directly opposite Aquarius in the Zodiac circle. forces of heaven and earth come together in alignment. Now for the first time since that setting of spring in Aquarius, the Leo glyph shows us a parabola, or reflex curve, as a mathematical image hovering in a new kind of sensory dynamism between the material and spiritual worlds. It's a physical manifestation of the anciently derived "quadratic equation", which expresses this new relationship between spiritual activity and material form. In Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe: Lecture 3, Steiner described this new relationship as the "plane of Will, the plane of the Zodiac itself [the plane of Leo opposite Aquarius]", separating us materially from our past, yet recapturing its memory in a new representational form. In mathematics, a quadratic equation maps a connection between more than two things in dynamic relationship, such as in the dynamic vortex of Cancer, for example. This mapping allows the relationships to be plotted into a 3-D that captures the relational dynamic as completely as it is possible to capture it in frozen matter.

2 Volume 109, August 2013 Newsletter of the Portland Branch of the Anthroposophical Society 1 Leo brings us out of the spiraling motion of Cancer evolve into the oral cavity, palate and throat, and so into a greater sensory awareness of 3-dimensional forth. earthly realities expressed as moments in time, as the 4 th dimension. While that dynamic can have many unknowns, they are limited in a quadratic equation to what can be expressed on a square grid as a parabola. Leonardo da Vinci captured this idea with his drawing of Vitruvian Man, balancing himself between the cosmic sphere and the earthly square. At every moment of the parabola's story, images everywhere in nature show a relationship between plan and being that gets expressed in an unfolding process, in a growth pattern that is not strictly bound to the material. The beauty and simplicity of a rainbow plots for us a quadratic equation in which we see, in a slice of reality, the formative forces of a cosmic etheric arch expressed in visible physical parabolic dimensions. All light entering a parabola, in parallel with its axis of symmetry, is reflected in a way that lets us see how the vertex of the parabola acts like a focus for the shaping of matter out of the etheric field. SOUND GESTURE: Leo gives us the T and D- gestures, both of which, in their human expression in sound, involve the tongue touching the upper palate-- the material world coming into sensory contact with the heavenly arc of a parabola. T is the first gesture of ego activity in the blood physiology. We have seen this ego activity in the "I" (ee) breathing itself free within the central axis of negative space in the Cancer vortex. The Leo T-ee gesture is expressed eurythmically in the metabolic limbs of the arms upreaching with fingertips coming down to make contact with the center line of the parabolic arc of the convex skull (that rises up to meet it), the point at which spirit and matter touch in materialization. Then in the D - gesture, the two arms come down with outstretched hands, as if to touch/sense the earth sphere. Like a rainbow that touches two points on earth, a parabola that intersects a plane, the D-gesture captures the movement of spirit through matter within the concave aspect of the material side of the etheric cosmic arch. We can consider the parabola of Leo as a young shoot that is growing as it's reaching out and sensing its environment. It has a certain inherited form and at the same time it has a relationship in time with spirit to unfold according to its karma. Every moment of Leo is one of sensation, of actually feeling the relationship between spirit and matter and struggling to express it in harmony through the growth of one's own being. Note the red Leo-parabolic glyph superimposed on the pharyngeal arch of a human embryo at the 4 th week, and how that arch sprouts out as its bodily being, defining a series of smaller arches within it that will In the T and D sound gestures then, we can experience a breathing back and forth between etheric imagination and concrete intellect. Breathing between spirit and matter incorporates into human nature both the warmth in blood (spirit infusing into matter) as it circulates the ego through an independent astral body, as well as the beginning of the human heart, as material formed vortically through blood out of spirit (see Frank Chester s work), to rhythmically sense our resistances/challenges in the physical realm, and keep our soul in balance. As we achieve and maintain soul balance, our blood processes warm with the ego-energy of the T-gesture. We can experience ourselves as

Convolutions (parabolas) of gray matter build communicated his own true name in a definite sound up in the uppermost part of our body where the or tone. And as the epochs progressed through dynamic reciprocity of energy currents coursing upwards is pressed back the least. Our soul sense of inner warmth, the spiritualized fire associated with Leo, becomes involved with our thoughts, memory and sleep, opening us more to the world nonmaterially and giving us more heart in our thinking, so we might connect more deeply with the I being of another. In the spirit world then, the lion forces are a good guide for opening ourselves to life, for monitoring the rhythm of our breath while staying connected with deep heart issues, and for experiencing the blood as an opportunity for learning, and healing, through surrender. Studies support that specific frequencies of different cat purrs have healing properties, including bone healing. Electrographs of the sinus rhythm of the heart are composed of parabolic images, which resemble the curve of the lion's mouth. CULTURAL EPOCH: As ancient Earth evolved through the non-physical "pralaya" or seed stage of its development, known as old Saturn, it peaked at the elemental condition of fire or warmth, then "died" into the next stage of planetary evolution, referred to as Old Sun. From these beginnings, the spiritual beings of the Zodiac comprise a single entity which remains alive in the astral world as twelve animal group-souls. As the Virtue of Lion-courage within the human ego springs fearlessly to earth and continues to evolve Lemurian and Atlantean times, and men gained the earth-bound consciousness needed to note the movements of the planets, with their being they created vowels, voicing the "A" (ah) or the "I" (ee)- harmonies of the planetary spheres (of consciousness). Through this sensory vocalization they grasped an instinctual awareness of their material descent to earth, adding harmonies to the soundgesture of their cosmic name in relation to the zodiacal origins of their passage. The various groupings into the "root races" were first conceived by men who were instinctively aware that how they harmonized with the universal all-embracing Word or Logos would constitute how they had descended to material form. These harmonies, in which we can hear the voice of all beings, were called by both Plato and Pythagoras alike, the Music of the Spheres, as the living, Cosmic Word. Pythagoras taught that mathematical entities, such as numbers and shapes, were the ultimate stuff out of which the real entities of our perceptual experience are constructed, such as our concepts of the real world as exhibiting the evolution of our ideas. While in Egypt, Pythagoras began a lifelong study of math and geometry, which he believed would lead to the essence of things. For the ancient Egyptians, for example, the number four was the basis of eternal stability. Both Pythagoras' mathematical formulas in the sixth century BCE and those of Plato in the fifth century BCE generated triples using a square and triples to solve quadratic equations. The smallest and best known Pythagorean triple is the right triangle. The union of the three bodies -- the physical, etheric and astral-- with the Ego was then venerated by Pythagoras in the sign of the Tetragram as shown below. Tetraktys in Greek means "fourness", the root of ever-flowing nature regarded as the expression of Divinity, and the Hebrew letters translate to the four
5 Volume 109, August 2013 Newsletter of the Portland Branch of the Anthroposophical Society 4 consonants,yhvh meaning Yahveh, the ineffable name of God. Leonardo da Vinci used the fourness of the Tetragram as inspiration for his drawing of the Vitruvian Man, within the square as denoting "universal manifestation" and within the cosmic circle as expressing the perfection and harmony of the three-fold human body. Plato taught that the essential property of mathematical thinking is that Truth does not lie within any single material, sense-perceptible form (a circle, parabola, square, etc.), but in the way that image leads us beyond itself to a comprehensive spiritual fact. Plato presented projective geometry exercises to his students as ways to think about something the senses could perceive, but at the same time not to think in terms of sense-perception in order to know spiritual truths. Today, as then, those mathematical forms do not serve as metaphors but as a distinct order and lawfulness by which visualized memories/ideas can be taken into our sleep. And what then comes to awareness upon awakening are the various self-serving ideas and beliefs we were holding subconsciously. By using the first steps in mathematical knowledge, we can stimulate our soulforces to spiritually transcend our sense-based perceptions. This was the all-important point for Plato- -to engage the senses in order to work with mathematical figures so that one could think independently of the senses, transcend the world of images and come to know Pure Truth. Similarly, Socrates envisioned human beings as having three animals inside them: a multi-headed beast, a lion, and a human. For Socrates, unjust behavior feeds the beast and the lion, and starves the human being. It also fails to accustom the three parts to one another and leaves them as enemies. In the just person, the human takes care of the beast like a farm animal, feeding and domesticating it, while also making an ally of the lion, in the service of human development. WORLDVIEW: The Sensualism/Sensationism of Leo maintains that world reality consists of sensations and strives to explain everything, from man s perceptions to world politics, through what the intellect is able to cognize out of what the senses are able to observe-- without necessarily seeking a connection with the supersensible. Still, our capacity to really know the world can come not by denying our sensuality, but rather by expanding it, by allowing our soul to become permeated by Leo forces. The human soul is not a vague, nebulous something, but an essential part of our being, consisting of three distinct members within which the Ego is actively engaged: Sentient Soul, Intellectual/Mind Soul, Consciousness Soul. The Ego created the Sentient Soul at a time when we lacked the degree of consciousness needed for transmuting our own instincts and passions; then the Ego created the Intellectual/Mind Soul to work in our etheric body, and finally, the inner Consciousness Soul to work in our physical body. From our physicalsense perceptions, our lower ego/intellect receives impressions that create our lower mental state of feelings, which flow upward continuously from our heart to our brain as an etheric stream which then meets another stream flowing downward from the intellectual soul and consciousness soul. Christ was called "the Lion of the stem of David" because with lion courage and balance in his soul-life, he transcended the subjective sense-based world by maintaining inner harmony with the objectivity of his I- consciousness. Ever since the Mystery of Golgotha, Christ's etherized blood has lived in the Earth's ether, permeating all its physical the intellect alone can surmise from the senses, but from both etheric currents which meet in the brain with a tension demanding discharge, by imprinting as a memory (concept) picture in the evolving etheric body. The positive side of the lion-raging aspect of our passions lies not in its annihilation, then, but in its purification, a leading upwards through the chaos and congestion of the sentient/sensation body to a higher stage. The Pythagoreans argued this long ago, that Pure knowledge is the purification (catharsis) of the soul, which means striving to rise above what we think we know based upon the immediacy of our material senses. In conscious meditative practices that make us slow ourselves down, slow our breath, cause our heart to slow down blood flow throughout the body, we open the portal to "sensing" with our blood in new conscious and internal ways, and increase our capacity for reaching a conclusion different from what our purely externally-based senses might tell us about forming or transforming our being and the world.

6 Volume 109, August 2013 Newsletter of the Portland Branch of the Anthroposophical Society 5 The Mission of Rudolf Steiner Excerpted from an essay by Dr. Ernst Katz, For the entire essay, which can make great summer reading, go to: Did Rudolf Steiner ever actually state what he considered to be his mission? In his autobiography he describes eloquently and sensitively all the people he met and what they felt as their mission, but nothing about his own mission. Of course, his autobiography covers the period only up to 1907, and most of his esoteric work came later. But once, on his sickbed, only a couple of weeks before he died, he wrote a poem that tells what he felt as his mission. Unlike many other poems he wrote during his creative life (which start typically with The light of the sun, or The sphere of spirit is the soul's true home ) this last verse is a declaration of his Will, what he wanted to accomplish against the odds of the forces that want to degrade the human being to the level of being merely a thing, a thing that can be fashioned to specifications, that is bound by external rules, and can be discarded after being used. The human thing. This verse starts with the words I want... (Ich möchte...): I want with cosmic spirit To enthuse each human being That a flame they may become And fiery will unfold The essence of their being. The other ones, they strive To take from cosmic waters What will extinguish flames And pour paralysis Into all inner being. O joy, when human being's flame Is blazing, even when at rest. O bitter pain, when the human thing Is put in bonds, when it wants to stir. ~ Rudolf Steiner Telephone Study Course Available With Ann Watson of Vancouver, Canada These courses are designed for anyone, but can be especially helpful for people who are not able to get to study groups, but would like to study the books of Rudolf Steiner or other Anthroposophical writers.

We could be in Philly on 9 th Street, Or Perralta in Santa Fe. But we re here at the Hollywood Market, And the air is alive and fresh. We could be at Carmel in Tel Aviv, Or Medina in Marrakesh. People are carrying sickles and knives To be sharpened, yet no one s concerned. We could be at de Cuyp in Amsterdam, Or Wochenmarkt in Lucerne. Are you getting this? Can you feel it? There s a breath of life in the air. We could be in Yangshuo s Fuli town. We could be in Tehran s Four Square. Here in this public kitchen, Transcending space and time, There s a moment free from terror and war, From hate and fear and crime. There s a guy with guitar and harmonica. There s a lively marimba band. There are kids with painted faces, And colored balloons in their hands. There s a small girl playing a cello. There s a guy on a bike with one wheel. This could be Borough Market in London, Or Marche at Raspail or Bastille. There are mushrooms of every persuasion, Rainbow chard, purple kale, fava beans. There are four year old ballerinas, From the dance class at Miss ilene s There are berries, and cherries and peaches, Piled high under colorful tents. This could be Barcelona s Boqueria, Or the market in old St Laurent. Will you sign the petition to finance the arts, Stop GMO s, and end the war? Will you pause for a brief reflection, To consider what we ve come here for? Are you getting this? Can you feel it? There s an energy thick in the air. Like a shut up room that s been opened; Like a day at a Country Fair. Baguettes stick up like bagpipes, From colorful handbags and packs. There s a farmer selling duck eggs, And jerky from bison and yaks. There are home-made candies, kombucha and wines, New starts of basil and snap pea vines, Sauces and pickles and jams for gourmets, Freshly caught salmon, floral bouquets. There s a girl with no bra in a skimpy T-shirt. No one s in danger, no one is hurt. Small children ponder a case full of bees, There are samples of pita with bits of goat cheese There are smells of tamales, Crepes, quiche, and curries, There are moms out with strollers, Who chat without hurry. Begging for money, a man with his dog, Reads Brautigan s Revenge of the Lawn. Here for a moment, no one is homeless, No one s alone or withdrawn. Children are singing, dogs bark, sniffing A man in a goriila suit. We could be in El Galpon Mercado, Or Souk el Tayeb in Beirut. Are you getting this? Can you feel it? There s a moment of hope in the air. This eternal public kitchen, That s nowhere, and everywhere.

12 Sponsored by the Portland Branch of the Anthroposophical Society in the Americas Three Evenings with Thomas Meyer! September 13, 14, 15, 7:30 pm - 9 pm Bothmer Hall, 5919 SE Division St., Portland, OR $15/lecture, $40 all three evenings; Portland Branch Members $12/lecture; $36 all three evenings. Pre-registration not required. No one will be turned away because of finances. Friday, September 13: The Temple legend and its completion by Rudolf Steiner This lecture will take a look at the legend which touches upon the mystery of evil and its transformation into a higher good. Hiram, its central figure, has to penetrate into the interior of the earth to find Cain as he was before he became a murderer. Cain had been in a state of readiness to sacrifice, which was perverted into the desire to kill. This original Cain s state is to be regained by us. Saturday, September 14: The Twelve Cosmic Viewpoints There are 12 possible world conceptions, and seven cognitional moods through which we gain knowledge. We will consider both with examples and exercises. Our purpose will not be to gather theoretical information, but to make our thinking both exact and versatile. Such versatility can become the basis of the social tolerance which is needed so desperately today. Sunday, September 15: The Michael School We will look at three phases of the Michael School: The purely supersensible school existing through centuries in the spiritual world and culminating in the cosmic cultus around the turn of the 18/19th century; the short phase during which Rudolf Steiner incorporated it on earth, giving the class lessons of the Michael School; and the third phase which again started to take place in the spiritual world after Steiner s death. We will look at the question: how should we relate today to the class lessons, which are the earthly documents remaining from the second phase? Thomas Meyer (b. 1950) is a resident of Basel Switzerland, where he is fully engaged in Anthroposophical work as a freelance writer, author of several Anthropsophical books, publisher (see lecturer and teacher of Rudolf Steiner s legacy of Spiritual Science. Thomas publishes a monthly magazine Der Europaer which includes historical and current events seen from the light of an Anthroposophical world view.
