LIBRARY NEWS
Last week the branch Library
received a donation of 102 books
from Marion Van Namen. This
brings us to a total of 1,475
books. Most of these new books
are titles that we did not already
have. Marion is a music therapist
and there were many books of a psychological nature,
and many Dutch books. These are the first Dutch
books in the library and constitute the second most
books of any language in our collection.
Marion Said she could use the space the books took
up, and by donating them to us she could always
borrow them if she wanted them. Marion, thank you for
this donation. And thanks to Jannebeth Roell her for
help in cataloging these books.

SOUND GESTURE: Leo gives us the T and Dgestures, both of which, in their human expression in
sound, involve the tongue touching the upper palate-the material world coming into sensory contact with
the heavenly arc of a parabola. T is the first gesture of
ego activity in the blood physiology. We have seen
this ego activity in the "I" (ee) breathing itself free
within the central axis of negative space in the Cancer
vortex. The Leo T-ee gesture is expressed
eurythmically in the metabolic limbs of the arms upreaching with fingertips coming down to make contact
with the center line of the parabolic arc of the convex
skull (that rises up to meet it), the point at which spirit
and matter touch in materialization. Then in the Dgesture, the two arms come down with outstretched
hands, as if to touch/sense the earth sphere. Like a
rainbow that touches two points on earth, a parabola
that intersects a plane, the D-gesture captures the
movement of spirit through matter within the concave
aspect of the material side of the etheric cosmic arch.
CULTURAL EPOCH:
As ancient Earth evolved
through the non-physical "pralaya" or seed stage of its
development, known as old Saturn, it peaked at the
elemental condition of fire or warmth, then "died" into
the next stage of planetary evolution, referred to as
Old Sun. From these beginnings, the spiritual beings
of the Zodiac comprise a single entity which remains
alive in the astral world as twelve animal group-souls.
As the Virtue of Lion-courage within the human ego
springs fearlessly to earth and continues to evolve

We will look at three phases of the Michael School: The purely supersensible school existing through centuries in the spiritual world and culminating in the cosmic cultus around the turn of the 18/19th century; the
short phase during which Rudolf Steiner incorporated it on earth, giving
the class lessons of the Michael School; and the third phase which again
started to take place in the spiritual world after Steiners death. We will
look at the question: how should we relate today to the class lessons,
which are the earthly documents remaining from the second phase?
