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.

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 built upon Goethe's conception of an imaginative power capable of synthesizing the sense-perceptible form of a thing ( an image of its outer appearance ) and the concept we have of that thing ( an image of its inner structure or nature ).

Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual component.

In 1882, one of Steiner's teachers, Karl Julius Schröer, suggested Steiner's name to Joseph Kürschner, chief editor of an important new edition of Goethe's works, who asked Steiner to become the edition's natural science editor, a truly astonishing opportunity for a young student without any form of academic credentials or previous publications.

In 1891, Steiner earned a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Rostock in Germany with a thesis based upon Fichte's concept of the ego, later published in expanded form as Truth and Knowledge.

Steiner later spoke of this book as containing implicitly, in philosophical form, the entire content of what he later developed explicitly as anthroposophy.

This and other differences, in particular Steiner's vocal rejection of Leadbeater and Besant's claim that Jiddu Krishnamurti was the vehicle of a new Maitreya, or world teacher, led to a formal split in 1912 / 13, when Steiner and the majority of members of the German section of the Theosophical Society broke off to form a new group, the Anthroposophical Society.

In 1899 Steiner experienced what he described as a life-transforming inner encounter with the being of Christ ; previously he had little or no relation to Christianity in any form.

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

* Quasi-bipartite graph, a type of Steiner tree problem instance in which the terminals form an independent set, allowing approximation algorithms that generalize those for bipartite graphs

The sets of 6 form an S ( 3, 6, 22 ) Steiner system, whose symmetry group is M < sub > 22 </ sub >.

" Just as each individual organism shares certain features with other organisms of its type, and species that resemble each other belong to the same genus, the individual work is similar to other works of its form and homologous literary forms belong to the same genre " ( Steiner, " Russian Formalism " 19 ).

The original problem was stated in the form that has become known as the Euclidean Steiner tree problem or geometric Steiner tree problem: Given N points in the plane, the goal is to connect them by lines of minimum total length in such a way that any two points may be interconnected by line segments either directly or via other points and line segments.

For the Euclidean Steiner problem, points added to the graph ( Steiner points ) must have a degree of three, and the three edges incident to such a point must form three 120 degree angles.

In this case, the triangles must form a subdivision of the domain to be simulated, but instead of restricting the vertices to input points it is allowed to add additional Steiner points as vertices.

Also in 1999, Steiner joined with Florida based partners, Bill Hebrock and Daryl McLaughlin, to form Hebrock Steiner McLaughlin, Inc., a public policy consulting and lobbying firm.

They did not form a regular team again at this point, although they would pair up occasionally, most notably to challenge the Steiner Brothers for the WCW World Tag Team Championship at the first SuperBrawl.

Anthroposophy, a philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner, postulates the existence of an objective, intellectually comprehensible spiritual world accessible to direct experience through inner development.

By this time, Steiner had reached considerable stature as a spiritual teacher.

In a number of works, Steiner described a path of inner development he felt would let anyone attain comparable spiritual experiences.

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

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

" 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.

According to Steiner, a real spiritual world exists, out of which the material one gradually condensed and evolved.

Steiner held that the spiritual world can be researched in the right circumstances through direct experience, by persons practicing rigorous forms of ethical and cognitive self-discipline.

Details about the spiritual world, Steiner suggested, could on such a basis be discovered and reported, though no more infallibly than the results of natural science.

Steiner regarded his research reports as being important aids to others seeking to enter into spiritual experience.

Steiner described numerous exercises he believed would bring spiritual development ; other anthroposophists have added many others.

Steiner believed in the possibility of applying the clarity of scientific thinking to spiritual experience, which he saw as deriving from an objectively existing spiritual world.

Steiner identified mathematics, which attains certainty through thinking itself, thus through inner experience rather than empirical observation, as the basis of his epistemology of spiritual experience.

** Through inner experiences of a spiritual reality ; this Steiner regarded as increasingly the path of spiritual or religious seekers today.

His primary interest was in applying the methodology of science to realms of inner experience and the spiritual worlds ( Steiner's appreciation that the essence of science is its method of inquiry is unusual among esotericists ), and Steiner called anthroposophy Geisteswissenschaft ( lit.

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.

Steiner founded a holistic educational impulse on the basis of his spiritual philosophy ( anthroposophy ).

In the first, more philosophically oriented phase, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and mysticism ; his philosophical work of these years, which he termed spiritual science, sought to provide a connection between the cognitive path of Western philosophy and the inner and spiritual needs of the human being.

The Second World War temporarily hindered the anthroposophical movement in most of Continental Europe, as the Anthroposophical Society and most of its daughter movements ( e. g. Steiner / Waldorf education ) were banned by the National Socialists ( Nazis ); virtually no anthroposophists ever joined the National Socialist Party.

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 is a pedagogical movement with over 1000 Steiner or Waldorf schools ( the latter name stems from the first such school, founded in Stuttgart in 1919 ) located in some 60 countries ; the great majority of these are independent ( private ) schools.

Steiner is considered one of the founders of the modern organic farming movement.

Steiner emphasized that he considered this movement, and his role in creating it, to be independent of his anthroposophical work, as he wished anthroposophy to be independent of any particular religion or religious denomination.

It is the premonitory earthquake of the New Age ..." Former Theosophist Rudolf Steiner and his Anthroposophical movement are a major influence.

Steiner led this movement through several phases.

In 1919, the political theorist of the National Socialist movement in Germany, Dietrich Eckart, attacked Steiner and suggested that he was a Jew.

Steiner made it clear, however, that the resulting movement for the renewal of Christianity, which became known as " The Christian Community ", was a personal gesture of help to a movement founded by Rittelmeyer and others independently of the Anthroposophical Society.

Steiner had an enormous influence on the alternative health movement before his death in 1925 and far beyond.

After the industrial revolution had introduced inorganic methods, some of which were not well developed and had serious side effects, an organic movement began in the mid-1920s in Central Europe through the work of Rudolf Steiner, who created biodynamic agriculture, an early version of organic agriculture.

In the international development of the organic farming movement, Fukuoka is considered to be amongst the " five giant personalities who inspired the movement " along with Austrian Rudolf Steiner, German-Swiss Hans Müller, Lady Eve Balfour in the United Kingdom and J. I.

At the Christmas Conference called to refound the society, Steiner presented the Foundation Stone Meditation, which he suggested would be the spiritual cornerstone of an Anthroposophical movement which for the first time would be unified with the Society itself.

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.

During this period, he collaborated with Gusti Steiner, who laid the foundation for the federal German emancipatory movement of the disabled at that time.

The fact that many of the Hindus in this latter group were linked to the local Congress organisation and dominated the mainstream nationalist movement in Bengal from Calcutta led to attempts to thwart Huq's activities and fed into the tragic decline in communal relations that savaged Calcutta in 1946 and 1947 ( see Kenneth McPherson, " The Muslim Microcosm: the Muslims of Calcutta 1918-1935 ", Steiner, Wiesbaden, 1973 ).

As a result of his interest in anthroposophy, a movement founded by Rudolf Steiner, he spent another two years as a bookseller in Stuttgart, but was forced to flee Germany in mid-1933 and returned to Prague as a music teacher and journalist.

Eurythmy is an expressive movement art originated by Rudolf Steiner in conjunction with Marie von Sivers in the early 20th century.

Eurythmy's aim is to bring the artists ' expressive movement and both the performers ' and audience's feeling experience into harmony with a piece's content ; eurythmy is thus sometimes called " visible music " or " visible speech ", expressions that originate with its founder, Rudolf Steiner, who described eurythmy as an " art of the soul ".

Eurythmy was born in 1911 when a widow brought her young daughter, Lory Smits, who was interested in movement and dance, to the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner.

During these years, Steiner was writing a new drama each year for performance at the Anthroposophical Society's summer gatherings ; beginning in 1912, he began to incorporate the new art of movement into these dramas.
