update 21-9-2016 The Stigmata of Judith von Halle...A Perspective"John Harris

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." (Peter Tradowosky-04)
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.

update 4-9-2016 John Harris (jvH fan)

From Steiner, von Halle and Stigmata:
A subject of great interest and significant recent spiritual scientific research is the spiritual nature of Earth and its relationship to man, as indicated in JvH's book 'Depths'. This is a subject we will be returning to, but I wanted to reference a book which offers considerable peripheral info on this theme:'Gaiasophy'(1989), by Kees Zoeteman. This extensively researched book is written from an Anthro context and offers an excellent synopsis of many basic themes and concepts. Highly recommended.
"Once again God raised his voice; and his Spirit came over the Earth, and trembled through it to its lowest depths. Then the Earth trembled and spoke:
'My soul is converted. But who can serve as a voice for me to tell the people that my soul is no longer ensnared in itself, but exists only to serve others.'
Zarathustra, Yasna 29:
Then the Earth was moved by inner compassion. She said:
'
I see the weakness of man. What I felt to be his cruelty is only his weakness. I need man and he cannot survive without me. And yet I wished to abandon him. Yet who will serve as a voice that man will know I am well disposed toward him?'"
Yasna 29:8

Update 31-08-2016 Einladung: vortraege zum 5-6 und 7 Mysteriendrama von JvH.

August 2016

Liebe Teilnehmer und Interessenten an den Veranstaltungen der
Freien Vereinigung für Anthroposophie!
Ich möchte mich heute mit einer Frage an Sie wenden.
Wie Sie vielleicht noch erinnern, habe ich im letzten und vorletzten Jahr in Berlin drei Doppel-Vorträge
zu den Inhalten der von Rudolf Steiner geplanten, aber nicht mehr aufgeschriebenen letzten drei
Mysteriendramen gehalten. Es handelt sich ja bei den uns bekannten vier Mysteriendramen Rudolf
Steiners lediglich um das Fragment eines unvollendet gebliebenen Zyklus von sieben Dramen.
Wer die Mysteriendramen als das versteht, was sie sind, nämlich als künstlerische Darstellung des
anthroposophischen Schulungsweges, wird nachvollziehen können, warum man es geradezu als
Verpflichtung des heutigen Geistesschülers verstehen kann, sich über den Ausgang des Dramenzyklus
Gedanken zu machen. Wie ich versuchte in den Vorträgen zu zeigen, ist die „Rekonstruktion“ zumindest
der Schlüsselszenen der verlorenen drei Dramen durchaus möglich und außerordentlich spannend –
nicht zuletzt, weil wir in der Entwicklung der Handlung vieles wiedererkennen, das unserem eigenen
Weg als anthroposophische Geistesschüler sehr nahe kommt und weil am Ende des siebenten Drama
das Ziel des Weges erreicht wird, das bereits im ersten Bild des ersten Mysteriendramas genannt wird:
Die bewusste Erkenntnis des ätherischen Christus.
Diese wiedergefundenen Schlüsselszenen des fünften, sechsten und siebenten Dramas sind letztes Jahr
in Dornach durch das Lichteurythmie-Ensemble unter der Leitung von Thomas Sutter im Rahmen einer
Vortragsreihe eurythmisch in Szene gesetzt worden. Da dies ein großer Erfolg war, entstand die Idee, die
Aufführung auch in Berlin durchzuführen. Die Szenen können jedoch nicht ohne kurze einleitende Vorträge
von mir aufgeführt werden, da sie nicht durch Sprache begleitet werden. Auch kann natürlich nicht
sichergestellt werden, dass ausschließlich Menschen kommen, die bereits meine Vorträge zu den sieben
Dramen gehört haben. Ich möchte aber die Eurythmieaufführung nicht ohne einleitende Vorträge
aufführen lassen, um Miss- und Unverständnisse zu vermeiden. Es ist natürlich nicht vorhersehbar, wie
viele Menschen zu einer solchen Veranstaltung erscheinen werden, (immerhin kennen viele von Ihnen
die Vortragsinhalte schon), doch muss für die Freie Vereinigung diese Frage geklärt sein, bevor an die
äußerst kostenintensive Einladung des etwa zwölfköpfigen Teams (inklusive Musiker und Beleuchter)
gedacht werden kann.
Wer meldet sich verbindlich für die geplante Veranstaltung an:
Sonntag, 30. April 2017
09:30–10:30 Uhr Vortrag zum fünften Drama
10:45–12:00 Uhr Vortrag zum sechsten und siebenten Drama
12:15–13:15 Uhr Eurythmieaufführung der Kernszenen
Die Einlassgebühr beträgt @ 30,-
Bitte wenden!

Stein von Baditz.
Die Einlassgebühr für diese Aufführung beträgt @12,-.
Auch für die diese Veranstaltung ist die Information über Ihr Erscheinen von Interesse.
Es ist aber nicht unbedingt notwendig, sich hierfür voranzumelden.
Liebe Freunde, bitte haben Sie Verständnis, dass diese Veranstaltungen nur dann stattfinden können,

update 19-8-2016 John Harris (JvH fan)

Motivation and Perception
JvH is a humble individual who values her privacy, and this privacy will be honored.. However she has become a public figure and as thus, a subject of speculation, especially given the 'psychic' phenomenology of the stigmata and her link to Anthroposophy. A natural question regards her motivation in 'going public', initially in a series of lectures, followed by the book 'Raised' which details her experiences and revelations. "The specific reason for the first lectures was the stigmatization of Judith von Halle occurring at Passiontide 2004....There are basically two prevailing tendencies when a judgement is made in relation to the phenomena of stigmatization. The facts are simply either denied or described as a sheer miracle.Here the attempt will be made on the basis of the spiritual-scientific knowledge of Rudolf Steiner to come at least to a preliminary understanding of the inexhaustable depths of this phenomena and and its decisive influence on the course of destiny...
Also"....the events of the life of Christ-the turning point in world history-experienced as a consequence of the stigmatization are described and explored by means of spiritual-scientific knowledge.Tied to this is the hope, and this is also an important reason for publication in book form, that these lectures may stimulate the reader to reflect patiently and repeatedly upon the Mystery of Golgotha, and to enter into an ever more close relationship to the Christ impulse." (Peter Tradwosky)
JvH comments further on her choice to deliver and publish her lectures..."The answer is not easy to give and it was a long, inner journey before coming to the decision to publish.....
.."many people who had heard or would have liked to have heard the lectures approached me with the request for a transcript. In addition, over time another aspect emerged:speculation and rumor-mongering, due primarily to inadequate awareness, arose as the news of my fate spread through the Anthroposophical movement and resulted, to some extent to my person being identified with the occurrence of the stigmatization...
...."The hope I have above all...is that consideration may be given to that which I place at the heart of my efforts to achieve through psychic and spiritual contemplation of the most decisive and fateful event.in the development of mankind a living and truthful relationship to the contemporary Christ. This alone is capable of being each single individual's most precious treasure and will be the quiet source of all selfless love and sympathy....
...."After several months of hiding the Stigmatization as well as a period of inner conflict and struggle over how to deal with the events in a dignified way, the decision was made to hold an internal presentation within the membership..."(JvH)
The first lectures provided explanation of both empiric and spiritual scientific understanding of stigmata as well as reference to Steiner's lecture cycle 'From Jesus to Christ'(Ga 131)
"But....Underlying the details...was another kind of psychic and spiritual experience than the direct perceptions of thr life of Christ.The other kind of spiritual experience encompases potentially every area imaginable. It is not connected to the phenomena of the stigmatizations, but was already present before it. It can be described as a psychic and spiritual awareness beyond the threshold to the spiritual world....
"There are two reasons though why I have now decided to say something about this spiritual awareness....some individuals had apparently had difficulties determining which statements originated from Rudolf Steiner and which ones from me. The confusion increased as these individuals sought vainly in Rudolf Steiner's Complete Works for details about the subjects dealt with."(JvH)
Careful reading clearly reveals distinctions between their separate spiritual research, and these distinctions are indicative of the depth of her spiritual perceptions, perhaps the only Rosicrucian initiate approaching Steiner's level of insight."The necessity demanded by Rudolf Steiner of speaking about truths one has lived through, the spiritual knowledge connected with them, and of describing them as well as possible was for me also a necessity.....
...The authentic experience of the events of the life of Christ caused by receiving the stigmata is radically different in its entire nature from the esoteric knowledge...which is only possible for someone living after the development of anthroposophical spiritual science....
...that which can be called the path of spiritual science was central to my life long before receiving the stigmata....I was already aware in a quite natural way of the cosmic home where my being arose...."
JvH, Berlin 2005

Update 22-11-2015 Peter Tradowsky gaat in een recensie in op het boek van Wolfgang Gädeke" Stigmatisation und Erkenntnis"

Update 22-11-2015



Peter Tradowsky gaat in een recensie in op het boek van Wolfgang Gädeke" Stigmatisation und Erkenntnis"


Liebe Freunde!
Im Anhang senden wir Ihnen eine Stellungnahme von Peter Tradowsky zu dem Buch von Wolfgang Gädeke" Stigmatisation und Erkenntnis" (Verlag Urachhaus Stuttgart 2015), in dem sich der Autor sehr kritisch mit dem Leben und Werk von Judith von Halle auseinandersetzt. Da uns bisher nur zustimmende und wohlwollend unterstützende Voten zu diesem Buch bekannt geworden sind, schien es uns geboten, die Darstellungen von Wolfgang Gädeke auch in einem anderen Licht erscheinen zu lassen. Denn das Bild, das Gädeke von Judith von Halle zeichnet, halten wir nicht für menschlich, wahrhaftig und gerecht.
Die Stellungnahme von Peter Tradowsky können Sie herunterladen, wenn Sie sie zur Kenntnis nehmen wollen. Sie können sie auch verbreiten - zum Beispiel durch Ausdrucken - , was insofern besonders wichtig ist, weil wir sonst keine Möglichkeit der Verbreitung haben. Wir bitten daher auch um Verständnis für diesen ungewöhnlichen Schritt.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen und guten Wünschen
