Living Technology
Living Technology Natural science1 speaks of conservation of energy, of causality and quantum physics of unconditional chance. It speaks of a mechanical-energetic-mathematical world. The humanities speak of a moral world in which all existing creation has its own morals. The Word as the creation of God, from which everything has come into being. It is our intellectual-scientific habits of thought and the phenomena of this Ahrimanic age that put obstacles in the way of working out spiritual-scientific concepts and ideas about the structure of matter. "In the time when a technology independent of actual nature did not yet exist, man found the spirit in the view of nature. The technology that became independent allowed man to stare at the mechanistic-material as what was becoming scientific for him. In it all the Divine-Spiritual that is connected with the origin of the development of mankind is now absent. The purely Ahrimanic dominates this sphere", (B051, p. 258). It is this sphere in which we live today in part with our internet, mobile phone, television, means of transport, medicine, etc. This environment influences the way we form ideas and what ideas we have about the world and it goes right into our will. Through the educational system and in the public media, the world is imagined to be made of matter and this in turn is imagined to be made of smallest parts or forms of energy - quantum - neutrinos, etc. One basis for this is the belief in the conservation of energy. From a spiritual-scientific point of view, matter is always described in the sensual-physical as Maja and in its being as an interaction of the spiritual. Everything material is an expression of a spiritual working behind it. The creation or disposition of the physical body of human beings and of matter took place on ancient Saturn (see "II.3 Development of Man and the World") through the sacrifice of the thrones (B007, chapter "The Development of the World and Man"). The physical-sensual matter that can be perceived today is formed in the development through various forms of existence up to the present state. Through the effect of the adversary beings, a greater condensation took place than had been foreseen. In the cycle "The Spiritual Beings in the Celestial Bodies and Natural Realms" (B136), this is described by the meeting of the forces of the authorized spirits of form with the forces of Luciferian spirits of form. A planet is occult considered to be the space bounded by the corresponding planetary orbit. This space is an etheric sphere corresponding to the peculiarity of the respective planet. The visible planet is the point of convergence of the described forces. This results in an inversion in the etheric sphere. The spiritual form is broken at this point. A hole in space, the Maja has been created. "So that we have to imagine that where the eye sees the physical planet Saturn, two forces work together: the one, normal force of the spirit of the form, which acts outwards from the sun, and against it at a certain point the split-off spirit of the form. This results in an invasion, the ether is invaded, and this invasion is what the physical eye sees as the physical Saturn", (B136, 8.4.1912). What we are researching today as physical matter in natural science is the broken part of the physical, the part of matter that has sunk too low. "All physical matter comes into being through the encounter of forces that originate from the spirits of form. ... In truth, an inversion is created, and with it, at the same time, a breaking of the form, but only of the form. The form breaks, and this intrusion is created. And broken form, fragmented form, that is in truth matter. Matter in the physical sense only exists where forms are fragmented. So the planets outside are also fragmented forms", (B136, 8.4.1912). ...
