A life for the spirit - E. Pfeiffer

Dettagli

This important text, which in my opinion is a true masterpiece of art, harmony and grace, gives us a much-needed light on one of the greatest anthroposophists ever, Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, a brilliant young collaborator of Rudolf Steiner who in his busy life dealt with "from shit to spirit" as a close friend of his wrote, i.e., from composting and regenerating animal and plant wastes, including hazardous wastes, to processing them, sorting them to create new protein seeds and new biodynamic preparations (fladen was invented by him) to discovering how to use our etheric forces to create "machines" that move with etheric and moral energies.
A little-known genius in Italy and little appreciated by his own colleagues, for this very reason he emigrated from the 1930s to the United States after the great quarrels that bedeviled the anthroposophical movement, following R. Steiner's death by poisoning, a death of which he himself discovered and knew the instigators and the real motives behind the act.
Ehrenfried Pfeiffer was a very sensitive personality, as you will discover by reading his delicate autobiography, and he was very demanding and apparently gruff, but he always gave his all in his activities.
This book gives us several esoteric and exoteric keys to continue his fundamental work today and also gives us a new look and manifestation, appropriate for today's times, of the communities that together and freely embrace Spiritual Science.

Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899-1961) was born in Munich. He visited the United States several times during the 1930s, was awarded a doctorate on his groundbreaking theory of Sensitive Crystallization as a test for detecting cancer from blood samples, and emigrated there permanently in 1940. He was a pioneer of biodynamic agriculture in the United States and helped found the Biodynamic Farmers and Gardeners Association. He died in Spring Valley, New York.
