Chapter 5- Economy: Recommended


Activities Recommended:


  • Acts of Charity
  • Bird Watching
  • Listening exercises (See exercise # 1 Next!)
  • Appreciation of Architecture
  • Homoeopathic prescriptive: Spit & Substance

(See commentary)



There are three categories of creatures in relation to economy - being:

  • Those which are predatorial carnivores.
  • Those which are the grazers and harvesters of the vegetable/etheric kingdom; and
  • There are birds.



The predatorily carnivorous species are of an old economy which is predestined for extinction. The grazing, harvesting animals are of a yet older, but now more progressive ecology - being sensitive to the deathly forces in the astral practices of flesh eating. (The disease in cows recently relates to such a sensitive response in being fed animal amongst the fodder. Such reactions will only get stronger, refusing in their natures to submit to this assimilation. Added to this are the cellular infusions scientists are mutating species with currently. They too, because of their Franciscan disposition, will be prone to withdrawing from their physical forms if thus contaminated.)



Now, it is that birds are quite remarkable in that they may be of the category one or two, but it is also within their nature at present to become both reflective and responsive to their environment as well.



A bird’s relationship to the trees and its leaves, to the earth and the insect community within that earth, to the humidities and the airy spaces and the currents of ether within ... all of these things work harmoniously within that of his expansive being and comprehensive consciousness. For its diminutive size, the etheric projections out from the birds are greater than for any other creature respectively within this world. Although extended in the warble, it primarily occurs within the nature of the consciousness of this little being and is reflected in his song.



One can also study the ratios of mass into energy conversion in terms of there being a very precise and economical transaction between the bird’s capacity for exact consumption and tree-mendous vitality because of it. Just by the observing of our beloved birds are we so enhanced also with these properties of a new world economy as brought by them.


By learning to listen there are many, many talents to be had; (that can help in conversation of course) and one of these in aspect is of learning to pause within ourselves - in a conscious attitude of suspending our thought and our will and relaxing into the quiet.



This pause is not only important to our considering the information outside of ourselves, it also provides us with an enhanced reflective capability - that of being able to give time to our own thoughts and points of view.



A man who has developed little or no episodic quiet has not the ability to come to new reasoning and comparative thinking. The exchange of ideas shall become only repetitions of themselves. A fellow may live in a constant agitation from his own outpourings - being demonstrative of but a positive flow of ‘life’ perhaps, yet mistaken in its promiscuity when not counterbalanced by its contrast in listening as well.



Architecture: The skeletal construct of any building provides spaces and dimensions quite ‘magically’ in not only the physical world, but commanded also in the spiritual worlds as well.



Where the frame adjoins itself at the many supports and boundaries there are replicate models of the entire form existing in each and every converging. This is intrinsic to the nature of the whole - that in every elbow and conjoining of the frame, it knows its place in reference and actuality in the memory of the construction.



The power of creation and of community-form is a great talent yet to be developed further in Man. The appreciation of Architecture in relation to Economy provides us with the spatial interpretive concepts of wholeness and the containments to be had within.



When we consider form we can innately feel its composure and the transacting/opposing geometries that go to define it.



In the practice of homoeopathy we find that it is not the dilution of substance alone which enhances the etheric qualities remarkable to it but moreover it is the water which empowers that substance, it is the water which imbibes it with force.



Water, by its divine nature, surrenders its body to all other commodities upon this planet, being co-natural to every organic host - and because of this supreme congeniality it can impart this prime virtue of itself to those who would consciously make it so.




It is preferable to mix and percuss all homoeopathic preparations in a gold-lined vessel where possible, because of the sensitive and impressionable nature of the water, remembering that it will be liable to enhance the properties of the container as well as that of the substance placed in it. Glass is second best, and silver a definite no-no, for the forces introduced with silver may or may not be providential, depending upon the conditions of the moon and the relation of the substance to it. In point of fact the same can be said to some degree for silverware for dining, and personal adornments as well.



Instead of administering the refracted substance dilute into the mouth or on to the skin, a more powerful method is rather to drop some saliva into the container itself and have it mix with the remedy outside of the body - whereupon the action will be more specific and yet of the same.

"The disease in cows recently relates to such a sensitive response in being fed animal amongst the fodder." refers to "Mad Cow Disease" (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy).

Rudolf Steiner predicted this:
The result is that if an ox were to consume meat directly, large amounts of urates would be secreted; they would enter the brain, and the ox would go crazy. If an experiment could be made in which a herd of oxen were fed pigeons it would pro­duce a completely mad herd of oxen. In spite of the gentleness of the pi­geons, the oxen would go mad, would turn into terribly wild, furious creatures...

The Brothers then make this prophecy:
Such reactions will only get stronger, refusing in their natures to remit to this assimilation. Added to this are the cellular infusions scientists are mutating species with currently. They too, because of their Franciscan disposition, will be prone to withdrawing from their physical forms if thus contaminated.

"Eugen and Lilly Kolisko, were closely associated with Dr Rudolf Steiner. Through experiments observing the effect of the various phases of the moon on silver salt solutions they were able to demonstrate that there is a definite relationship between the moon, or the moon forces, and the metal silver.

"This manifests visually in the appearance of silver, which when melted and then solidified, expels the oxygen absorbed in its liquid state and hardens into formations looking exactly like miniature craters on the moon.

Silver has a strong affinity to light and silver compounds, being extremely sensitive to light, are used for photographic purposes. The Koliskos discovered after years of experimentation that the silver salt solution has the property of being influenced by the moon to produce “pictures” — each day and night producing another picture, with the full moon and new moon having their specific characteristic expressions.

‘‘The silver acts in such away that is represents what lives in the light, it produces pictures of what acts in the light. And if we find that this is connected especially with the moon, it may be justified to say: the silver behaves like the moon in the cosmos. The moon itself has the strange quality that it continually reflects the light, which comes from the sun and all the other planets. The moon is the great photographer of the universe, it continually brings us back pictures.”

Exposing silver salt solution to the sun during the day and the moon forces at night, a continual metamorphosis of forms revealed itself in a rhythmic way, each month with its own ‘signature.’ The Koliskos describe this as a “kind of archetypal photograph made by the silver alone… influences which pass through the universe, which we are unable to observe with our eyes, show themselves through such a substance as silver. So we find the silver, as a metal, representing the formative force of the various seasons, the various moon phases.”

Silver is like a dense form of moonlight, very like the moon in its brilliance and perfect reflecting power, unrivaled by any other metal. Silver reflects the light shining on it undimmed and almost unchanged; most mirrors today are made by coating glass with a fine layer of silver, so it’s not surprising that lakes of still water reflecting the moon goddess used to be called Diana’s mirror. In fact in the old chemistry, Diana was the name for silver.

Most silver on the planet is found in seawater, although in an attenuated solution, in a ratio of 10 mg. to a cubic metre. Hauschka writes: “It may be that silver acts as a focus for lunar influences, and as a medium for transmitting moon forces and their rhythms to the tides. And just as seawater rises and falls in accordance with the laws of lunar rhythm, so is there a tide of sap in plants.”
