Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,
We have recently published an article (Pentas V) bringing together the Pentagrams (perhaps all) that R. Steiner gave esoteric indications on in the early years 1906/07.
From a meditative viewpoint alone, these are significantly beneficial esoteric study materials-if taken seriously enough.
So today we want to share with you here just one specific therapeutic/meditative insight that may not be obvious at first glance.
From R. Steiner’s description of the inner order of the etheric body a new possibility of addressing the disorders of organs in the abdomen/digestive tract emerges.
There are three ways to help.
The abdominal/digestive tract itself can be addressed with the help of the Moon forces, specifically the remedy Argentum Pentas.
However, if one follows the flows of the pentagram, one can also see that, importantly, forces coming from the Venus forces towards the Moon forces can be deficient and thus Cuprum Pentas could be important.
Lastly, “drainage” of the digestive tract can be achieved (again seeing the flow continuing in the pentagram) with the help of the Mercury forces i.e. Mercurius Pentas.
These clearly are different viewpoints than applying the more commonly used Ferrum metal or Quercus plant as representing the Mars forces.
These thoughts can go into understanding R. Steiner’s admonition that the Pentagrams/Hexagram should not just be “stared at” but actively worked on.
We put some of these emails also on the Kolisko Institute blog where you can find previous announcements, etc.
To your health,
Rentea MD
