“The disease of thinking deprives the soul of the possibility of correctly assessing its own situation, because thinking is the eye of the soul for modern man, that is, the clearest function of his consciousness. As we have seen, it is through thinking that we orient ourselves with regard to other functions of consciousness. When thinking becomes diseased, contemporary man loses his orientation. This means that he is moved and influenced by unclear, uncontrolled, impenetrable impulses.”
Georg Kühlewind: From Normal to Healthy; Chap. 2.3 (The Causes of the Disease); translated by Michael Lipson. Lindisfarne Press, 1983.
We are aiming at coming together with those people who are searching for healthiness (“wholeness” in Hungarian) on the way of a spiritual schooling. Who are searching for awakening the true and healthy Self, for the self-experience of the attentiveness in pure, spiritual acting. We have invited as keynote speakers some of those people who have been dealing with these issues for decades and who worked for a while together with Georg Kühlewind, who has – taking the work of Rudolf Steiner as a starting point – explored the way of a modern schooling of consciousness with an unprecedented depth and detail. Both talks and concerts serve just as a basis for our main goal: that our “meeting” becomes a reality not only in space and time but also in spiritual presenece.
