Dementia, encompassing diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, affects millions globally, yet orthodox medicine has struggled to identify its causes or develop effective treatments. This situation prompts a deeper exploration of the psycho-spiritual factors linked to the illness. The author emphasizes that modern scientific perspectives often overlook the spiritual dimensions of human existence, which are crucial for understanding illness. Without considering these elements, successful treatment remains elusive. A comprehensive approach to treatment necessitates an understanding of the human being that transcends mere physical observation, calling for spiritual-scientific insight as established by Rudolf Steiner. This perspective can significantly aid in researching the roots of health issues, including dementia. By examining humanity's and individuals' destinies, we can better understand the emergence of modern afflictions. In this concise yet profound study, Judith von Halle investigates dementia through the lens of anthroposophy, outlining its implications for society and addressing the growing epidemic. The work is accessible to all, not just medical professionals, and encourages engagement with the psycho-spiritual aspects of those affected by dementia. It offers valuable insights and guidance for confronting one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Von Halle shows how the Earths interior is a mirror of the past, present, and future human soul states, explaining the causes of the three earthquakes that occurred during the night before the first Easter Sunday. Above all, she shows how we can rise to spiritual heights only to the degree that we also plumb the depths of the abyss.
"In the conceiving his architectural masterpiece - the Goetheannum in Dornach, Switzerland - Rudolf Steiner designed a large wooden model, featuring three main figure, to be placed in a central position inside the building. Known as the 'Representative of Humanity', this sculpture shows a central and free-standing Christ holding a balance between the beings of Lucifer and Ahriman, who represent polar tendencies of expansion and contraction. On New Year's Eve 1922, the Goetheanum was destroyed by fire, bu the model - still in a process of creation and therefore housed in an external studio - miraculously escaped the flames. Its remains intact to this day in the present Goetheanum. With numerous full colour photos and illustrations, [title] offers a vivid introduction to this monumental, world-historic artwork. We follow the evolution of the statue through the photographic documentation of many models created in its development: from six smaller versions to a full-size plasticine construction. This latter model-also still on display- offers an impressive insight into the artists' detailed intentions, having been repeatedly revised by Rudolf Steiner. It demonstrates the continual spiritual movement evident in the whole series of small models, and the metamorphic processes which developed over an eight-year period." -- P [4] of cover.
