"Workshop: Looking at Light, Electricity and Magnetism from an alternative perspective"
September 4th / 5th. Mark your calendar!

In olden times, man had clairvoyant revelations and did not understand them. Today man must first understand, must exert to the utmost his intellectual power, must exert to the utmost his reason. If he so exerts it through that which lies before him in Spiritual Science, then mankind will again develop the power of receiving the Spiritual clairvoyantly. This is certainly something that most people today wish to avoid, viz., to make use of their healthy human reason in order to understand Spiritual Science. Were it possible to avoid the use of man’s reason, it would also be possible to avoid altogether the entrance of spiritual revelations into our earthly world.

Darwinistic determinism.
Ahriman's master plan?
"Taking a mind and offloading it to software is...something that I think will be done in this century," said the CEO of United Therapeutics.

growing babies in ectogenesis pods will be the domain of Monsanto. May the flying spaghetti monster have mercy on our souls. "Have your child in comfort. Watch her grow. Inject the personalized gene modifiers yourself"
Scientifically, it’s called ectogenesis, a term coined by J.B.S. Haldane in 1924. The technology is on its way. How will that impact our views of birth, abortion and gay reproduction?

If you missed Ralf Roessner's recent visit to Emerson in mid-May, this short video is an opportunity to learn more about this very valuable and nourishing plant.
