The meeting of poles depends on us
Living together becomes difficult as the anti-social character of individualization in modern society takes over and prevents us from meeting. At the same time, a multiplicity of viewpoints leads to all kinds of life projects which often collide.

News from the anthroposophical movement – Schweizer Mitteilungen
The May issue of “Anthroposophy – Swiss News” opens with the article “On the threshold of a new reality – Angeloi mingle with people” by Franz Ackermann, in which he follows Rudolf Steiner's suggestion that the angels are now entering into ever more intimate communion with humans and that it is important to learn to perceive this process.

New directors of the Rudolf Steiner Archive
Angelika Schmitt and Philip Kovce
The foundation for the administration of Rudolf Steiner's legacy (Stiftung Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung) has recruited two highly qualified scholars to lead the Archive's future work. Both will begin their work in the archive as assistant managers in August 2024.
Since 2015, the Rudolf Steiner Archive has been working on a ten-year project to finalise the Rudolf Steiner Complete Work (which began in 1961, on Steiner's 100th birthday). The editorial project, with over 400 volumes, is due to be completed by the end of 2025. The digital edition of all of Steiner's notebooks and scattered notes, which began in 2022, will continue beyond 2025.
The completion of the complete edition will change the focus of the archive's work.
While maintaining public access to the archive, the plan is to process and digitise the extensive archive material, to set up a permanent exhibition on Rudolf Steiner in Haus Duldeck and to strengthen the site as a research centre on Rudolf Steiner's life and work.
