THE ANTHROPOSOPHIC SOUL CALENDAR, three formats The graphic can also be found in English in this shop: "The Anthroposophical Soul Calendar" The course of the year as an archetype of human soul activity. Rudolf Steiner's 52 sayings of the week relate the external course of the year to the human soul. Each week has its spiritual focus. "In true self-knowledge, the I creates itself." The soul calendar is about the resurrection of a “Christ consciousness” in people, in which they learn to live with the weekly sayings. At Christmas the saying goes: "I feel like the spiritual child in the womb of the soul is disenchanted." It is a spiritual birth that we are talking about. The birth of the spirit child takes place during the Christmas season and its conception therefore takes place in the spring. In the calendar it is spread out as a mood throughout spring. Between conception and birth there is a mental embryonic period that extends over summer and autumn. The weekly sayings reveal a primal rhythm that can be reawakened. The soul calendar consists of four parts that correspond to the four seasons. When the earth breathes out its soul, life blooms on its surface. When she breathes in her soul, that life withers away. The peak of summer breathing is in the Johanna period, where the earth's soul "sleeps", the low point of winter breathing is in the Holy Nights, where the earth's soul "wakes". Rudolf Steiner in the first edition of the calendar 1912/13: "What the great world reveals over the course of time corresponds to a pendulum swing of the human being, which does not take place in the element of time. Rather, man can feel his being given over to the senses and their perceptions , as corresponding to the summer nature interwoven with light and warmth. He can perceive being grounded in himself and living in his own world of thoughts and wills as being in winter. In this way, what happens in nature in time becomes the rhythm of external and internal life for him Alternating sequence as summer and winter presents itself. We perceive our own being as breathed out in the summer and breathed in thinking and wanting in the winter day." Karlheinz Flau depicted this graphically. E.g. the lemniscates: twice thirteen sayings for the summer half, and twice thirteen sayings for the winter hardiness; at the beginning Easter, in the middle Michael. When the soul internally follows the movement of the lemniscates, it experiences the spherical going out of itself and the centric going into itself; when it breathes out it becomes a spherical soul, and when it breathes in it becomes an earth soul. The prints are offered in three sizes.
