Specifikacia Human Spirit - Steiner Rudolf
Amid the lies and propaganda of World War I, Rudolf Steiner struggled to convey the truths of the human spirit. The "truth" asserted by partisan interests, he suggests, is invariably tinged with dishonesty--whether by the outright mendacities of politicians and rulers (Steiner refers here to machinations of the British Empire), or by the manipulative techniques of secret societies intent on securing and shoring up their power. In relation to the secret societies, Steiner highlights how, whereas we tend to reject overt authority today, we also succumb more easily to its covert forms in the "received wisdom" we often adopt unthinkingly. In seeking to help his audiences discern the spiritual struggle unfolding behind outer events, Steiner describes how the intrigues that led to the war were based on intentional deceit that served hidden aims hidden mostly from the general public.In
