In this lecture Dennis uses the two polar principles of form and function to illustrate ways to imagine the Earth as a living being in contrast to seeing Earth as simply a resource.
The elements (earth, water, air, fire) and their dynamics give birth to the four life forces (cold, wet, hot, dry). Reciprocations between the polarities in these forces gives rise to the dynamics we see in the natural world.
Living beings have much more complex structural dynamics than non-living entities. It is the complexity of these dynamics that allows living beings to develop consciousness. Good stewardship for the future requires that humans learn to work with the dynamic consciousness of the living Earth.
These ideas will be used to illustrate current issues in climate change.
Note: Follow along with the slides in the handout. Dennis refers to the slides in this presentation.

Macro and Micro – The Action of the Etheric Forces in Nature
These lectures trace the activities of warmth, light, and rhythm in the life forms of the natural world. The intent is to form a picture of “the etheric” which is both an important and difficult concept. Moving from an historical look at the idea of the ethers into some of the contributing streams in Rudolf Steiner’s thinking such as the fourth dimension, the nature of warmth and the infinitely distant, and then finally to the current scientific research that supports the idea of the etheric realm.
Perceiving the Spirit of the Natural World
Perceiving the Spirit in the Natural World – Frey Vineyard Jan 2014 Contemporary science, with its focus on the gathering of abstract data as a means for the perception of natural phenomena, tends to promote the view that nature is simply a resource to be exploited. Earlier civilizations tended to see the phenomena of nature…
Sacred Earth
These four lectures were given at a Biodynamically inspired agricultural festival in the fall of 2019 in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. The intent was to link the mineral, plant, animal and medicinal properties found in the high desert area of San Miguel.
Fabulous talk! many questions and potential explorations arise.
Outstanding give away, dear Dennis Klocek. So very moving, so intricately intelligent, so visionary.
Thank you.
