John Dunn original writing
Steiner operated from the spirit world down
Steiner sought to counter the diminishment of man in the necessitarianism inherent to his philosophy by boosting the cosmic proportions of man’s significance. He argued that man must exist, for without him there would be no further evolution. There are portents here of what was to appear later in the work of Vladimir Vernadsky i.e. the evolutionary emergence of man’s mind in the Noosphere as an intervening and guiding force of new evolution. Whilst Vernadsky’s schema worked from the biosphere upwards so to speak, Steiner operated from the spirit world down, but they coincided on the point that man was an active participant in the evolutionary progress.

Silesius prompted thoughts
All history, all present, all future is the forest. No tree falls there unless man sees.

Just a thought:
The economic individualism and excessive consumerism that became the definition of happiness in the USA has now enslaved whole populations worldwide. Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, most notably used the phrase Chinese Dream in his 2013 plans for national rejuvenation. John Dunn (Renaissance: Counter-Renaissance)
