reincarnation and karma Here point the central tenets of Rudolf Steiner's about reincarnation and karma play.
Karma = fate compensation
reincarnation = reincarnation, rebirth
incarnation = literally give incarnation, into earthly existence connect
The statements Rudolf Steiner summarized as follows (the arrow "=>" the karmic effect means in the next incarnation):
1.
the love toward others
=>
joy, inner strength, strength
=>
open heart, free spirit second
hatred or antipathy
=>
suffering =>
folly , fateful accidents, mishaps
third
envy (Luciferian impact concerns the astral body):
"envy as moral quality in youth grows in age from to Tadel-/Spottsucht, arrogance to the lack of independence"
=>
weak physical body (because moral deficits have a negative effect on the design of the organizing body in the next life)
remedy : forgiving love
4th
mendacity (Ahriman impact is concerned, the etheric body):
"mendacity as a character Property converts, at the age of superficiality and awe "
=>
nonsense because the etheric body, the mind powers (thinking) organized
result. Not only a weak body, but also weak mental capabilities
remedy : truths of the spirit of loving teach
fifth
unbelief causes a "wither" of the astral body: "Like the food on the physical body, so faith acts on the astral body"
=> "drying out" of individuality,
mental dullness further reincarnation law :
-
love of music => Strengthen
lung activity the next incarnation. Probably causes the good
perception and
concentration power -
love painting , plasticizing Art, Architecture => sympathetic face
-
faith, religiousness =>
knowledge These karmic laws are the pocketbook issues, "Rudolf Steiner, Reincarnation" removed. To illustrate some Steiner quotes:
Page 123 ff:
"Let us imagine that we have tried loving, helping other people depending on their karma Take. a person who has a shy, insecure nature, but not out of modesty, but out of fear of facing other people. (It has formed this excessive shyness as a result of Ahrimanic misconduct, ie, falsity, and superficiality to the truth as it provides the iron laws of the fate of compensation. Who was untruthful in his youth, who dares not in age, the people in the eye . look Instinctively they say in rural areas. Do not trust anyone who can not look you in the eye) How can we help this man to overcome his insecurity? We need to see it as a duty to help other people. For we would say that one should this man's fate (Karma) left, it would be morally wrong. Here I come to a subtle act:
Everything we do to the other to endure and overcome his karma will always lead to the fact that not only will help the other, but also help us to do something for ourselves. But what we do ourselves, for example, to move forward fairly quickly, we will usually help much. can be fruitful for the people only what he does for others. Can we prove ourselves not bode well. If we help a person overcome his karma to give the best effects, for what we are for other To do is gain for humanity. For ourselves we can do anything you have to turn the others do. Therefore, we must regard in the highest sense:
compassion for other people . - We develop the compassion in the highest sense, we feel in regard to jealousy and lies that duty of compassion toward other people. We thus develop a sense of solidarity, which extends to all human souls.
Humanity has ever taxed out that every single person's connection with the whole humanity always feels. And that feeling was, in its various manifestations of life in . The fighting against Lucifer and Ahriman live "
is another karmic rule that envy as Luciferian misconduct is converted in later life in fault-finding, mockery, arrogance, self-esteem:
" occurs Envy not after 20 or 30 years out, and it shows the transformation of the same again by the fact that the person concerned with the property of dependence shows of his dependence-volition of other people or ideas of non-contractual ability to stand on its own two feet, still others humans have to have the help and advice. A certain moral weakness occurs as a result of the converted To envy, and we will always see if someone has this moral weakness that because there is the karmic result of envy converted .(...) And what appears as a moral weakness in one incarnation acts, organizing in the next incarnation. The mental weakness, which is the result of envy can, in the present incarnation, where the body is already built up, not destroy this body in particular. But if we go through the death and return to a new incarnation, these forces so that they are organic-body-building weakness, and we see that a weak body is built up by such people that the converted envy earlier in a Incarnation had. The cure for a physically weak child is the forgiving love. Who approached with the power of love to the child will see, as the child grows stronger and stronger. Up on the thinking inside must act forgiving love, because that the child can gather strength to bend to his past karma and to guide them in a fruitful direction. The child will be physically strong. Such a child often shows properties that are unpleasant. If we love it - down to the deepest of all heart, which acts as the most intensive cure, and we will soon see how effective this remedy is. (...)
Consider again the mendacity, a ahrimanic misconduct. In one incarnation as a man in old age is shy. This is a psychological property. But in the next incarnation of this property acts as an architect from the body. As does the child not only weak, but so that it can win no right relation to its environment, so that it is daft. You have to try such a good deal to teach people about what are the truths of spiritual life, then they will see how he thrives. Should we always have the thought: "We must do everything possible to make a real Verhältis of such a child to his environment." Since Ahriman exerts its power in the human etheric body, there lies and error spreading, it is the degeneration of the intellectual powers in the next incarnation, because the mind is produced by the human etheric body (body of formative forces). Envy, however, who grows into mockery or lack of independence comes, the Luciferian action on the astral body (body sensation). In the next incarnation of the physical body develops a weak constitution with predisposition to physical diseases. As we make clear to us how we should behave towards people with congenital physical or mental defects, we can be clear that the world is full of these pulses of Lucifer and Ahriman - and how they overcome can be over the earth development. (...) Is
Since every man, if he pursued such connections in the sense necessary to be an even deeper sense of the humanity ever have. In a way there is for each person the opportunity to feel something that it can connect with all people "
page 98 et seq:
. The idea of reincarnation and karma is perhaps not immediately change our outer life, but more strongly our mental life. Then, this idea will gradually become the directing power even of our external existence. "Success has this teaching (very soon) have, if humanity not to meet to go to their decline. "(p.105) The abilities and powers of a person are the result of causes which he himself has set in earlier life. Nothing is more disposed to this idea as hostile as the opinion that it provided for a work or service immediately to be given a reasonable wage. It follows from the idea of karma, that we in life does not happen in the place are taking the position in which we find ourselves, but from a kind of subconscious decision of the will. That we ago have taken this decision of the will of our birth, but these are forgotten when we einlebten us in the body. The decision involves our tendency to Tragedies that strike us as we seek them unconscious. The discontent of the people is nothing but a product of their past lives. Only those who recognize the truth of reincarnation and karma, the course of his life can make constructive and full. Karma of the individual laws, people still understand very little. (...)
is often heard: What once was the belief must be today's knowledge. The clairvoyant appear karmic connections of life as follows: we consider a very spiritual person, then it is much more clear than this "almost a genius, according to the field of religious devotion, and the idea of Hinordnung supernatural world. "As a clairvoyant can be seen at this very very orthodox natures in which the belief may not occur until later in life, that they were in previous incarnations of knowing in terms of world views. An amazing fact. The knowledge of their previous incarnation, the rational element of the reason the previous incarnation has just turned into the religious element of the current incarnation.
If you step on the other hand approached very materialistic people who do not believe anymore, but just want to know one finds apathy towards the world-views in previous lives. disbelief dried in the astral body parched him. As the food on the body, faith acts on the astral body (body sensation, physical equivalents: heart, breast, liver). In the next incarnation of the individuality of the innate stupidity is undermined. The man is unbelief be unable to purchase in the next incarnation of a knowledge. And from life to life, switch through faith and knowledge as it were, ie to a more orthodox incarnation follows a more reasonable moderate incarnation. There is an interesting parallel: Gender also alternates in successive incarnations. These things are in fact quite in mutual fertilization and supplementation. Other powers of man are a similar supplement, as the two soul faculties, as we shall call the ability to love and inner strength, in the sense of inner harmony, self-esteem, emotional strength and the knowledge of what we're dealing with in life. These two take turns, one hand as a sacrifice of love for others and the other, the strengthening of the interior, so that the forces be used to advance themselves, but without being unkind to be. The background is that a person can give the more, the stronger it is. Man himself must first be strong before you love, so can sacrifice themselves. Otherwise, the victim of his ego is not much value. For love can be very inappropriate be, and even hurt to use instead, if it does not occur with wise lifestyle and access to the relevant circumstances "
