Rudolf Steiner and the Harmony of the Stars

(Hybrid In-Person & Online Talk, 2 p.m. Eastern)
Mary Stewart Adams

This presentation considers the relationship between human beings and the stars — rooted not in contemporary science about devouring black holes and random asteroid strikes, but through Rudolf Steiner’s statement that, effectively, the more abundantly the harmony of the cosmos fills the soul, the more peace and harmony there will be on the earth. Disastrous conditions on earth could be attributed, in part, to our habit of applying the laws of materialistic science to human affairs and to our relationship to the world’s celestial foundations. Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science addresses the threshold between the physical and spiritual worlds, which is where we as humans actually experience our lives. We will explore this transition from earth-bound laws to cosmic ones, and the harmonizing effect of knowing our true relationship with the stars. A further dimension of this work has been to safeguard the human imagination by protecting our access to the night sky and its stories.
