The Stigmata of Judith von Halle...A Perspective
Hello friends-
People in general and specifically Anthroposophists are tragically dismissing and ignoring the amazing, tremendously enlightening phenomena of the stigmatization and the unprecedented, completely unique spiritual scientific research being done into, not only the spiritual-physical nature of this manifestation, but even more importantly the insights into the nature of the Christ Being, Golgotha, and their relation to human and cosmic evolution. Judith von Halle is not only the first non-Christian (a semantic, but valid point) stigmatic, but the first and only highly clairvoyant, initiate Anthroposophist, to be 'afflicted' by this condition. And make no mistake, despite the ecstatic element of experiencing the Christ event, bearing the stigmata is a difficult and painful burden which causes existential pain as well as physical.To criticize and question this process in the antagonistic manner so common among these online groups, and even the official representatives of the A.S.-the Vorstand-shows not only "a lack of respect towards the fate of an individual person, it remains only to be said as a reminder that stigmatization is the living through of the events of the time of Christ, consciously and repeatedly, occurring under extreme physical, psychological and spiritual pain....Of course, the first question a person will often ask in the face of his karma is "why have I now been struck by fate? Looking deeper, however, a truth arises which Novalis has put into words: 'Everything that happens, I intend!' Here, of course, is not meant the everyday self nor the possibility of causing something like stigmata, rather it points to the sphere of the real true self, which reveals itself in karma."

It is such karma which has engendered the situation and experience of Judith von Halle. These events were, at least not consciously-desired, nor were they a sudden visionary experiences of a person ignorant of the psychic forces inherent in such an experience. Rather Judith von Halle (JvH) is a highly developed, born clairvoyant and Anthro. who already exhibited 'classic' forms of initiate perception such as what Steiner called 'continuity' of consciousness', whereby the waking and dream states are no longer separated by unconsciousness, but rather a continuous stream of awareness. Nor does JvH seek notoriety, preferring a quiet humble anonymity...." please do not focus on my person but on that being who is acting through the phenomena.....a holy reverence toward the Christ Being should be present....
...I am coming round more and more to speak against the presentation of them as sheer miracles, and more and more for the concrete 'application' of Anthroposophy. These phenomena provide precisely the impulse to work epistemologically and not just believe.
Their apparent inexplicability prompts an Anthroposophist to penetrate the phenomena with awareness, to use Anthroposophy as a tool. It seems as if the spiritual world has placed this phenomena here in our Anthroposophical circle in order to challenge us to become active in two areas which as a result of their complexity and significance we often shy away from:
1. Serving with heart and soul to gain an awareness of the secrets of the Mystery of Golgotha.Rudolf Steiner pointed out again and again that he could only give a part of the essential insights into this mystery and that the other part is to be a fruit of knowledge in the future.
2. Striving to gain insight into the organization of the human body, for this is the sphere of the highest spiritual beings of the hierarchies. The first hierarchy is active in the physical body-not in the etheric, not in the astral, but in the physical body and this is connected from the very beginning with the Christ Being." JvH 04

It is hopeful that more members can begin to appreciate this profound event that exists to awaken and enlighten us within our Anthro world today, in this moment,.As the Buddhists liketo say:the only ultimate reality available to mankind exists in this very moment. They call this 'mindfulness.
This conversation will continue where-ever it appears, but on the 'Steiner, von Halle and Stigmata site, the thread will be focused on sympathy and monitored against the antipathetic opinions and assumptions commonly manifest within this thread.
Thank you all.
