WIDAR, ARE THORESEN UND DAS NEUE HELLSEHEN

Gegen Ende August gab es eine kleine, online Runde Tafel Diskussion zwischen dem Redaktor des „Ein Nachrichtenblatt“ (ENB) Roland Tüscher, dem Therapeuten, Redner und Schriftsteller aus Norwegen Are Thoresen und dem Schreiber dieser Zeilen als Organisator der vom 17. bis 21. September in Dornach stattfindenden „Widar- und Michael-Tagung“ mit Are Thoresen. Bei der Diskussion wurde vereinbart, dass das ENB ein Inserat des Willehalm Institut in der September-Ausgabe für die Tagung publizieren wird zusammen mit einem Kommentar von dessen Redaktor im Sinne der Vorträge Rudolf Steiners vom 13. November, 1909 „Über das rechte Verhältnis zur Anthroposophie“ (GA 117) und dem 8. Vortrag vom 27. März 1915 aus „Wege der geistigen Erkenntnis und der Erneuerung künstlerischer Weltanschauung“ (GA 161[1]).
Da nun dieser Kommentar aus Interesse für die Frage an Are Thoresen, „Was ist dein Erkenntnisweg, BEVOR du das gleiche Objekt/Wesen in der elementaren Welt siehst?“ geleichzeitig mit dem Inserat erscheinen wird und, nehme ich an, als eine Art Urteilsgrundlage gemeint ist für die Tagung mit Are Thoresen bzw. dessen Werk, habe ich dem ENB-Redaktor gefragt, im Sinne von Wort und Gegenwort, mindestens die zwei ersten Stellungen meines Kurzkommentars zu publizieren mit einem Link zu dessen Begründung, die nun folgen:

WIDAR, ARE THORESEN UND DAS NEUE HELLSEHEN Als was soll sich dann der Mensch sehen? […] Er soll sich zum Sohne des Odins machen; er soll in den Kampf eintreten, und zwar bald ...

THE ARLESHEIM HERMITAGE AS A WORLD HERITAGE SITE?

Here is a link and text to my PowerPresentation to the International Arthurian Society of July 13 that I did manage to finish by quoting the words that Werner Greub wrote towards the end of his summaries of the new biographies of Willehalm and Parzival in Vol. I of his Grail Sites book (on p. 339): “A new course for independent research in the future lies open. After attention was drawn to the main error of existing research – the futile attempt to locate Wolfram’s Parzival in the 11th or 12th century – an avenue of research into the first half of the 9th century has been laid out which, if taken up, offers much likelihood for success. Through the geographical identification of the Grail sites and the exact chronology of the historical events, references are made to places where, not only geographers and historians await a dish of plenty. From this starting-point, each scholar can begin to work much more precisely in his own special field of interest”, followed by my closing words: “I appeal to my colleagues of the International Arthurian Society and other interested parties such as the Academie Française to corroborate the findings of Werner Greub, especially the location of the Grail Castle Munsalvaesche and, if found to be true, issue a request to UNESCO to declare the Arlesheim Hermitage as a World Heritage Site.”

Hurrah! I have after weeks of hard work finally finished preparing here in Arlesheim within stone throw of the Hermitage my Powerpoint Presentation "The Parzival Revolution - Wolfram von Eschenbach as a Historian" based on Werner Greub's masterwork "How the Grail Sites Were Found" for the Congress of The International Arthurian Society on July 13 in Aix-en-Provence, France. The 20-minute presentation will consist of 64 images, maps, photo's which I will comment on. It will be a speed course in the Grail research of the Willehalm Institute and will close with an appeal to join and/or support the Munsalvaesche Project - A Quest for the Subterranean Grail Temple to finally - 50 years after this Vol. I of Greub's trilogy was published by the Goetheanum, but afterwards abandoned - to corroborate the findings that the Arlesheim Hermitage was Wolfram Terre de salvaesche.

HERMES IN AMSTERDAM?

On Friday, June 21, the first edition of 25 copies of my reflection "Did Hermes Trismegistus, reborn as Valentin Tomberg and the Maitrya Buddha live in Magical Center Amsterdam from 1933 to 1944?" was published with the appendix "Valentin Tomberg on the Marian Apparitions" and the following day the 2nd improved edition of also 25 copies came out. This online version is improved and elaborated one of the latter. In this reflection I have tried to substantiate (indirect) statements of Valentin Tomberg that he was, thus according to his own words, the reborn Hermes Trismegistus and the bearer of the Maitreya Buddha of the 20th century, of whom it is known that he (Tomberg) lived and worked in Amsterdam from 1939 to 1944. Also, I put forward that this is an additional reason for Amsterdam, once called the New Jerusalem, to be declared the hermetic capital of the world. After all, it is not only the seat of the "Embassy of the Free Spirit" with its world-renowned Bibliotheca Hermetica Philosophica connected to the renowned faculty of "History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents" at the University of Amsterdam as an element of knowledge, but also the place where the many Marian apparitions to Ida Peerdeman during the middle of the last century took place as an element of revelation. Moreover, a combination of the knowledge and revelation elements, the hallmark of hermetism, occurred last January in the lecture organized by the local Willehalm Institute, "The Northern Path of Initiation and the Widar School of Spiritual Science" by the clairvoyant anthroposophist, spiritual scientist, writer and physician Are Thoresen from Norway in the Ita Wegman House in the center of Amsterdam.

Vrijdag 21 juni is de eerste editie van 25 exemplaren verschenen van mijn beschouwing "Woonde Hermes Trismegistus, herboren als Valentin Tomberg en de Maitrya Boeddha van 1933 tot 1944 in Magisch Centrum Amsterdam?" met als bijlage "Valentin Tomberg over de Mariaverschijningen" en de dag daarna de 2de verbeterde editie van ook 25 exemplaren. Deze onlineversie is een weer verbeterde daarvan. In deze beschouwing heb ik gepoogd de (indirecte) uitspraken van Valentin Tomberg te onderbouwen dat hij, dus naar eigen zeggen, de herboren Hermes Trismegistus en de drager van de Maitreya Boeddha van de 20ste eeuw was, van wie bekend is dat hij van 1939 tot 1944 in Magisch Centrum Amsterdam woonde en werkte. Tevens dat dit een extra reden is om Amsterdam, ooit wel het Nieuwe Jerusalem genoemd, tot de hermetische hoofdstad van de wereld uit te roepen. Het immers niet alleen de zetel van de "Ambassade van de Vrije Geest" met haar wereldberoemde Bibliotheca Hermetica Philosophica verbonden met de vermaarde faculteit "History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents" aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam als kenniselement, maar tevens het oord waar de vele Mariaverschijningen aan Ida Peerdeman van het midden van de vorige eeuw plaatsvonden als openbaringselement, terwijl een combinatie van kennis en openbaring, het kenmerk van de hermetica, zich voordeed verleden januari in de lezing "De noordelijke inwijdingsweg en de Widarschool voor Geesteswetenschappen" van de antroposofische, helderziende geesteswetenschapper en geneesheer Are Thoresen uit Noorwegen in het Ita Wegmanhuis aan de Weteringschans.

VIRTUE OF THE MONTH MAY - Balance Becomes Progress

The sacrificial power of devotion that experiences freedom as community becomes the sense of balance.
For this sacrificial power experiences like through like, spiritual through the spiritual, individuality through individuality. This feeling lies at the basis of every item of knowledge. Through an act of knowledge, in cognition, we find the path through our own spirit to the spirit latent in world phenomena. This would not be possible through a merely reproductive, receptive form of knowledge. As such, it would remain outside reality, which without its participation would not be completely finished. A true form of knowledge, however, adds through a creative act the ideas to the sense percepts, which for human experience are initially devoid of ideas and thereby meets the spirit initially concealed in percepts. Thus reality originates in every true act of knowledge out of an experience that initially conceals it. It arises from the sense of balance in the meeting of spirit with spirit. By regaining the reality that he loses in the percepts, the cognizant human being experiences at the same time the emergence of his own spiritual being. Out of the reality arising in his act of knowledge, man derives his origin as a spiritual being that decides for himself about the birth of his spirit and his higher development. The knowing of like through like, which shows itself to be the emergence of an independent individuality out of the spiritually permeated world phenomena, is true balance.

Thus it becomes progress.

A meditation of such balance is contemplating the way children learn to walk, which allows balance to become progress.

Note: This meditation, written by Herbert Witzenmann based on indications by Rudolf Steiner, is a continuation of the virtue of April, "Devotion becomes Power of Sacrifice", which again is preceded by those of March, February and January and are followed by those of the months of the rest of the year. Together with the introduction and the epilogue by the author, the sources and the illuminations by Jan de Kok, they can be read and viewed online http://Power-to-the-Virtues.blogspot.nl or in book form published by the Willehalm Institute Press.

Power to the Virtues - Seasons of the Soul Empowering these 12 Virtues of the months of the year as the Forces of the New Christianity can turn our Mother Earth into a Garden of Heavenly Joys as envisaged in the triptych by that name of Hieronymus Bosch.

FROM THE VIDAR SCHOOL OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCE
Yesterday I went with Are Thoresen during my ten-day visit to him and his wife Lizz Daniels on his farm on the South Coast of Norway to an appointment he had as a veterinarian close to the border of Sweden to treat some horses. During the two-and-a-half-hour drive on the way over there we had an interesting conversation about Are’s spiritual work. There had namely been some questions online about the source of his statements in his books and lectures to the effect that in 1879 the third elemental realm was opened, that in 1949 the second elemental realm was opened and in 2019 the first, so I asked him whether he received that insight from Vidar. No, he said, from the elemental beings themselves when traversing through their realms. It was only after he had reached the threshold and met Vidar that the latter told him what the manifold effects were of these openings on humanity and on the earth itself. This knowledge as well as that of the phenomena of the translocation and transformation of disease form an essential part of the Vidar School of Spiritual Science that Are has been speaking about in various countries around the world, including Holland that I have written about in my article "Creating Future with Vidar – Personal and Superpersonal Reflections of the Turn of the Century of the Anthroposophical Society and the Working Visit of Are Thoresen to Holland in January” here and on Are's own Facebook Site. There I have as his Dutch publisher responded to insinuations and to non-immanent criticism, i.e. criticism not developed from knowledge gathered from within his work, but superimposed from without, that his work is destructive to anthroposophy. In reality, if one takes the definition by Rudolf Steiner that anthroposophy is a path of knowledge that wants to lead the spirit in Man to the spirit in the universe as a criterium of judgment, his work is instead enriching it. For the insights that the elemental and spiritual beings shared with him on the Nordic path of initiation to the spiritual world that he has been describing in detail and traversing is by no means gathered with an atavistic, subconscious but rather superconscious state of mind. It is also that higher state of mind that he transports himself in when as a licensed veterinarian or doctor of Spiritual Veterinary Medicine he observes his patients in order to diagnose and then treat them via the "MIddle Method" by invoking the power of Christ that he has written about in his medical books, including his latest one "The Final Compendium of Spiritual Medicine" (https://www.amazon.com/Final-Compendium-Spiritual-Medicine/dp/B0CKBDF1P7).

CREATING FUTURE WITH VIDAR - Personal-superpersonal Reflections on the Turn of the Century of the Anthroposophical Society and Are Thoresen's Working Visit in January to the Netherlands

This treatise is a free and expanded translation of a scholarly 13-page text with many added references and sources that was written for the monthly magazine “Motief” of the Anthroposophical Society in the Netherlands. Since its length has gone far beyond the scope of what was originally agreed upon, I have suggested it be published in its two parts, but this has not been given the stamp of approval by its editor. I further suggested that, if it had to be cut, that the original version be published with a reference to my Dutch Willehalm Institute blog, where it can already be studied. New also is a partial translation of “Occult Knowledge about the Anthroposophical Movement – The Inward Task of Anthroposophy and the Content of the New Christianity” by W***y Seiss. The image above is a photo taken by yours truly from Are Thoresen’s estate on the South Coast of Norway, at Kaupang, which was once the location of the ancient Capital of Norway, where a thousand years ago the Vikings sailed out to the far corners of the world and where now a spiritual warrior is heralding under the banner of Vidar the New Christianity.

Dit is waar ik vandaag sta.
Dit is mijn huidige leven en missie.

De twee zinnen waarmee Are Thoresen de inleiding op zijn boek "De Noordelijke inwijdingsweg en de Widarschool voor Geestesweteschappers" eindigt, is zojust als voorpublicatie door het Willehalm Instituut online geplaatst: https://willehalminstituut.blogspot.com/2024/02/de-noordelijke-inwijdingsweg-en-de.html

MET WIDAR TOEKOMST CREËREN 2.0 - Drie vervolgbijeenkomsten op het werkbezoek van Are Thoresen aan Nederland

Deze bijeenkomsten met de antroposofische geneesheer, geesteswetenschapper en geliefde spreker uit Noorwegen, Are Thoresen, werden door een essay onder de titel “Met Widar toekomst creëren 1.0” aangekondigd en op 6 januari als discussiebijdrage aan de bezinningsbijeenkomst “Verdieping van 100 jaar Kerstbijeenkomst ” in Antropia, Driebergen aan de deelnemers uitgedeeld. Onder de algemene titel “De Noordelijke inwijdingsweg en de Widarschool voor Geesteswetenschappen” kwamen vervolgens in het Ita Wegmanhuis op 25 januari (zie beeld), in het Rafaelhuis te Den Haag op 26 en 27 januari en in de Vrijeschool “De Zonnewende” in Zutphen op 28 januari o.m. de volgende onderwerpen ter sprake:
1. De methode die ten grondslag ligt aan Dr. Thoresens succesvolle praktijk van het genezen van mens en dier vanuit de Christuskracht. Middels deze “middelpunt methode”, waardoor de kwaadaardige, ziekmakende elementenwezens niet worden verplaatst in een ander, zoals meestal gebeurt, maar getransformeerd, verchristelijkt, werden tientallen mensen behandeld;
2. Op welke wijze we tegenwoordig door de drie geopende elementaalrijken de etherische wereld binnen kunnen komen ten einde daar o.m. Widar, Baldur en Christus te mogen ontmoeten. In de training sessies werd deze methode van “vervagen, opgaan en zweven” aan de hand van een willekeurig object gezamenlijk beoefend en
3. Het feit dat na het volledig opengaan van de drie elementaalrijken – het derde, luciferische in 1879, het tweede ahrimanische in 1949 en het eerste, azoerische in 2019 – zich een nieuw, vierde zielsvermogen “Tijd-Karma-Christus” en een nieuw, vierde kenvermogen in de mens, genoemd “Inexperiatie” ontwikkeld heeft, dat zijn evenbeeld kent als kunstmatige intelligentie of AI, en waarmee dus de driegeleding van het fysieke organisme van de mens en de overeenkomstige driegeleding van het sociale organisme een viergeleding wordt.

In plaats van de aangekondigde presentatie door de vertaler Robert Jan Kelder van het boekwerk van Are Thoresen onder de titel van de bijeenkomsten “De Noordelijke inwijdingsweg en de Widarschool voor Geesteswetenschappen”, werd er een brochure met de titelpagina en inhoudsopgave ter beschikking gesteld, die te lezen is op de studieblog van het Willehalm Instituut.

Als een vervolg op deze bijeenkomsten, die door meer dan 100 mensen bezocht werden, zijn nu door het Willehalm Instituut de volgende samenkomsten gepland, waar men o.m. terugkijken kan op deze door Are Thoresen ontwikkelde impuls, meedelen wat voor mogelijke ervaringen men heeft gemaakt bij de oefeningen en zich afvragen hoe verder deze impuls zou kunnen worden verzorgd. Nieuwkomers zijn welkom. Tevens zal er een presentatie zijn van de inleiding-in-wording op Are’s boekwerk door de vertaler “Wie is Widar en wat is zijn missie?”. De persoonlijke inleiding van de auteur: “Iets over mijzelf en mijn huidige missie, een samenvatting van deel I van dit boekwerk en waarom ik het heb geschreven” zal op 12 uur, 27 februari op de Willehalm Instituut bloggeplaatst worden. Heeft men geen beschikking over internet, kan men een printversie van deze tekst van 22 bladzijden tegen onkosten van €5 vragen. Voor een overzicht over het werk van de schrijver in het buitenland en verder nieuws, zie zijn Facebooksite. (Zie ook zijn vele Zoom conferenties in het buitenland op YouTube. Zijn in het Engels gehouden voordracht in het Ita Wegmanhuis van 25 januari is te volgen op http://youtube.com/ )
