being human has entered its fourth year, and we are now planning to offer a webinar after each issue with a brief review of the contents and an interview with one of the authors. We've scheduled the first of these webinars for next Saturday, April 26th. It's at 4:30pm Eastern (3:30pm Central, 2:30pm Mountain, 1:30pm Pacific). Use the link below to sign up. There is no charge. Our spring issue included an article "a View from the Ceiling" by Walter Alexander. A former teacher, Walter is a professional writer specializing in medical developments. (You've also seen his work often in Lilipoh.) Here's a link to the article in PDF form: http://www.anthroposophy.org/fileadmin/being_human/webinars/bh11-FINAL-web-viewfromceiling.pdf In this article Walter reviews the medical side of near-death experiences (NDE's) and asks why anthroposophists are not part of the public conversation on a topic which leads naturally into a recognition of the body-free life of the human individuality. When that thought combines with a picture of human evolution, we find ourselves in the core territory of Rudolf Steiner's mission: a modern understanding of karma and reincarnation. That understanding, in turn, completely reframes our whole picture of the purpose of our lives and relationships. So join us if you can. We also plan to record the webinar and make it available for later viewing, but if you join "live" you can submit questions. Wishing you a beautiful and inspiring springtime!
