Most Iranians I’ve spoken to reject the current regime — but they also don’t want to be “liberated” by the U.S. The irony is profound: this regime likely wouldn’t exist if not for the 1953 coup — Operation Ajax — orchestrated by the very powers that now claim to champion democracy. By overthrowing Prime Minister Mosaddegh’s elected government, the U.S. and UK installed the Shah, whose 25-year authoritarian rule fueled the deep distrust that later empowered the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Decades of sanctions and interference since then have only deepened Iran’s economic instability — not its liberation.

War is a racket.

In german but very worth watching. I think this is a great summary of the test humanity is facing in our time, and what we can do to pass it; "Kennst du Ahriman? In einer Zeit beispielloser technologischer Umwälzungen und gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung wenden sich immer mehr Menschen der Frage zu, welche tieferen Kräfte hinter den dramatischen Veränderungen unserer Epoche wirken. Anthroposophische Forscher und Geisteswissenschaftler warnen eindringlich vor einer bevorstehenden Krise, die weit über politische oder wirtschaftliche Dimensionen hinausgeht: der physischen Inkarnation einer kosmischen Widersachermacht, Ahriman, die seit Jahrtausenden die Menschheitsentwicklung zu beeinflussen sucht. Hast du Michaelischen Mut? Michaelischer Mut bezeichnet eine besondere Form von Mut, die weit über bloße Tapferkeit oder Furchtlosigkeit hinausgeht. Es handelt sich um eine innere Kraft, die aus dem Bewusstsein schöpft, dass der Mensch in entscheidenden Lebensmomenten nicht von Angst, sondern von Mitgefühl, guten Gedanken und einer tiefen Verbindung zum Geistigen geleitet wird. Im Zentrum steht der Gedanke, dass Mut nicht das Fehlen von Angst bedeutet, sondern die Fähigkeit, trotz Angst zu handeln. Michaelischer Mut ist der Wille, sich dem eigenen „Drachen“ zu stellen – den inneren Kräften von Angst, Zweifel, Lüge und Bequemlichkeit. Es ist der Mut, das eigene Licht zu erkennen und zu stärken, für das Gute einzustehen, auch wenn dies mit Unsicherheit, Unbequemlichkeit oder Widerstand verbunden ist." #anthroposophy #anthroposophie #rudolfsteiner #transhumanism #soulstr #godstr #deutschstr #lucifer #christ

Brian Gray presents Rudolf Steiner's Six Basic Exercises. They are a foundational set of practices designed to develop self-awareness, strengthen the integration of thinking, feeling, and willing, and prepare the soul for deeper spiritual development. Originally presented as "Nebenübungen" (additional exercises), they are recommended to accompany meditation and esoteric training. 1. Control of Thought Focus on a simple object (e.g., a pencil or paper clip) for five minutes daily, observing it with all senses and asking questions about its origin, use, and material. The goal is to eliminate mental wandering and cultivate logical, focused thinking. 2. Control of Will Perform a simple, purposeless action at a fixed time each day (e.g., pulling your earlobe, untying and retying shoelaces). The act must be chosen freely and repeated consistently to strengthen conscious willpower and self-initiation. 3. Equanimity (Exercise of Feeling) Practice emotional balance by observing feelings without judgment, weakening excessive reactions, and strengthening underdeveloped emotions. The aim is to achieve calm and stability in the face of joy, sorrow, or external events. 4. Positivity Consciously seek the positive aspects in every situation, even difficult ones. Combine thinking and feeling to reframe challenges and foster optimism and constructive outlook. 5. Open-Mindedness Cultivate receptivity to new experiences and ideas, avoiding closure based on past assumptions. This exercise integrates feeling and willing to remain open to the present moment and evolving insights. 6. Inner Harmony Integrate all previous exercises to create a unified soul life where thinking, feeling, and willing work in balance. This final stage fosters coherence, clarity, and a harmonious inner state. These exercises are typically practiced consecutively for four weeks, one per week, to build lasting habits. They are not merely intellectual tasks but transformative practices aimed at developing inner strength, objectivity, and spiritual readiness. As Steiner emphasized, they are essential for avoiding illusions during advanced spiritual work and for nurturing a true, balanced inner life. Source:
