The early work of the founder of anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, culminated in his Philosophy of Freedom ( also translated as The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity and Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path ).

Steiner strongly objected and considered any comparison between Krishnamurti and Christ to be nonsense ; many years later, Krishnamurti also repudiated the assertion.

In Theosophy, Steiner suggested that human beings unite a physical body of a nature common to ( and that ultimately returns to ) the inorganic world ; a life body ( also called the etheric body ), in common with all living creatures ( including plants ); a bearer of sentience or consciousness ( also called the astral body ), in common with all animals ; and the ego, which anchors the faculty of self-awareness unique to human beings.

This being is, according to Steiner, not only the Redeemer of the Fall from Paradise, but also the unique pivot and meaning of earth's evolutionary processes and of human history.

* Steiner also believed that there were two different Jesus children involved in the Incarnation of the Christ: one child descended from Solomon, as described in the Gospel of Matthew, the other child from Nathan, as described in the Gospel of Luke.

Though Steiner saw that spiritual vision itself is difficult for others to achieve, he recommended open-mindedly exploring and rationally testing the results of such research ; he also urged others to follow a spiritual training that would allow them directly to apply the methods he used eventually to achieve comparable results.

In 1942, Steiner won his second Oscar for Now, Voyager, and was also nominated for Casablanca, which remains one of his most famous scores.

Waldorf education ( also known as Steiner or Steiner-Waldorf education ) is a humanistic approach to pedagogy based upon the educational philosophy of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy.

According to Steiner, he also introduced Steiner to a person that Steiner only identified as a “ Master ”, and who had a great influence on Steiner's subsequent development, in particular directing him to study Fichte's philosophy.

It was also within this society that Steiner met and worked with Marie von Sivers, who became his second wife in 1914.

The 1923 Beer Hall Putsch in Munich led Steiner to give up his residence in Berlin, saying that if those responsible for the attempted coup and others came to power in Germany, it would no longer be possible for him to enter the country ; he also warned against the disastrous effects it would have for Central Europe if the National Socialists came to power.

Steiner was also strongly influenced by Goethe's phenomenological approach to science.

Steiner also founded a new approach to artistic speech, or " speech formation ", and drama.

Steiner also suggested timing agricultural activities such as sowing, weeding, and harvesting to utilize the influences on plant growth of the moon and planets ; and the application of natural materials prepared in specific ways to the soil, compost, and crops, with the intention of engaging non-physical beings and elemental forces.

The " Christ Being " is for Steiner not only the redeemer of the Fall from Paradise, but also the unique pivot and meaning of earth's evolutionary processes and human history.

Steiner also posited two different Jesus children involved in the Incarnation of the Christ: one child descended from Solomon, as described in the Gospel of Matthew ; the other child from Nathan, as described in the Gospel of Luke.

Philosopher Rudolf Steiner established the first Waldorf education school in 1919, using a pedagogy also known as the Steiner method, which spread worldwide.

Steiner was also an early proponent of organic agriculture, in the form of a holistic concept later called biodynamic agriculture.

There are also a number of private schools, including Brighton College, Roedean School, Steiner School, BHHS and a Montessori School.

Biodynamic agriculture, the first intentional form of organic farming, began in the 1920s when Rudolf Steiner gave a series of lectures since published as Agriculture.

Steiner gave several series of lectures to physicians and medical students.

Despite these obstacles, the film's war footage was stunning and James Coburn, in the lead role of Rolf Steiner, gave one of the finest performances of his career.

That same year, the Head of UNEP Achim Steiner and other UN dignataries gave remarks at an environmental event of the affiliate in UNEP Headquarters.

Like biodynamic agriculture in general, biodynamic viticulture stems from the ideas and suggestions of Rudolf Steiner ( 1861 – 1925 ), who gave his now famous Agriculture Course in 1924, predating most of the organic movement.

Scott Steiner, who also won one of the briefcases, would later trade cases with Williams, which unintentionally gave Petey a World Heavyweight Championship shot in the process.

S. Champion at the time in a non-tile match, Nash would get his title shot against Scott Steiner for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship later that night, Rhodes pinned Steiner after a DDT as a result, Nash got his title shot against Scott Steiner for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship that night, Later that night, Nash came into the ring with Ric's son David, as they started coming to the ring, Nash gave a punch to David, Ric Flair and WCW security came out and Ric begged Nash to stop assaulting his son, Nash did not listen and gave David a Jackknife Powerbomb, Ric and WCW security started coming to the ring to pull David out of the ring as the champion Scott Steiner was coming to the ring alongside Midajah too to start his WCW World Heavyweight title match with Nash.

In 1924, Steiner gave two intensive workshops on different aspects of eurythmy ; transcripts of his talks during these workshops are published as Eurythmy as Visible Speech and Eurythmy as Visible Singing.

In 1923, faced with differences between older members focusing on inner development and younger members eager to become active in the social transformations of the time, Steiner refounded the Society in an inclusive manner and established a School for Spiritual Science.

As a spiritual basis for the refounded movement, Steiner wrote a Foundation Stone Meditation which remains a central meditative expression of anthroposophical ideas.

Steiner began using the word to refer to his philosophy in the early 1900s as an alternative to theosophy, the term for Madame Blavatsky's movement, itself from the Greek, with a longer history with a meaning of " divine wisdom ".

This requires developing new faculties of objective spiritual perception, which Steiner maintained was possible for humanity today.

Steiner believed results of this form of spiritual research should be expressed in a way that can be understood and evaluated on the same basis as the results of natural science: " The anthroposophical schooling of thinking leads to the development of a non-sensory, or so-called supersensory consciousness, whereby the spiritual researcher brings the experiences of this realm into ideas, concepts, and expressive language in a form which people can understand who do not yet have the capacity to achieve the supersensory experiences necessary for individual research.

" For Steiner, the human capacity for rational thought would allow individuals to comprehend spiritual research on their own and bypass the danger of dependency on an authority.

Steiner contrasted the anthroposophical approach with both conventional mysticism, which he considered lacking the clarity necessary for exact knowledge, and natural science, which he considered arbitrarily limited to investigating the outer world.

Rudolf Steiner wrote and lectured on Judaism and Jewish issues for much of his life.

Towards the end of Steiner's life, a group of theology students ( primarily Lutheran, with some Roman Catholic members ) approached Steiner for help in reviving Christianity, in particular " to bridge the widening gulf between modern science and the world of spirit.

Left-libertarianism, as defended by contemporary theorists such as Peter Vallentyne, Hillel Steiner, and Michael Otsuka, is a doctrine that has a strong commitment to personal liberty and has an egalitarian view concerning natural resources, believing that it is illegitimate for anyone to claim private ownership of resources to the detriment of others.

Maximilian Raoul " Max " Steiner ( May 10, 1888 – December 28, 1971 ) was an Austrian composer of music for theatre productions and films.

Along with such composers as Franz Waxman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman and Miklós Rózsa, Steiner played a major part in creating the tradition of writing music for films.

His paternal grandfather was Maximilian Steiner ( 1830 – 1880 ), the influential manager of Vienna's Theater an der Wien ; his father was Gabor Steiner ( 1858 – 1944 ), Viennese impresario and carnival and exposition manager, responsible for the Ferris wheel in the Prater that would become the setting for a key scene of the film The Third Man ( 1949 ); his godfather was the composer Richard Strauss.
