John Dunn original writing

Rudolf Steiner head and shoulders on Dr John Dunn.

Rudolf Steiener

Matter originates in spirit

It was by arguing that the individual must develop the capacity to gain access to the ‘unified world of ideas’, this cosmic pool of thoughts, a realm of pure spirit, detached from objects perceived through the senses, that Steiner rationalised himself into esotericism. He gave us permission to consider the occult as a means of answering the Grail question - ‘who am I?’ He also permitted us to make a cosmic reversal - to upturn Spinoza and Marx - by establishing the working principle that matter originates in spirit.

Just a thought: In 1911, American engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management, in which managers thought of their employees as specialised, replaceable components. These were the plantation management systems of the slaveholders carried forward into a wage system economy. John Dunn (Renaissance: Counter-Renaissance)
