Finding Our Stream

Plato and Aristotle

Plato and Aristotle

Let us seek deeply and discover who we are, and let us find one another! Let us also learn to work together! Along the lines of the Aristotelian/Platonist dichotomy, I am a Platonist and a Pythagorean. In some ways, this does not do justice to the complexity of our life-streams. I am becoming Manichaean. Go Skythianos! But, alas, where are my fellows? I am placed in life in such a way that I interact with many whose pasts are quite different from my own. It is important to know from whence we come, also for the sake of recognizing the unconscious sympathies and antipathies that come with our history. By knowing ourselves, we can begin to exert the flexibility and adaptability required of us to constructively work together with those from other streams. From the particular tinctures of our streams, we can brew an alchemical cocktail embedded in our local planetary-etheric body. Then, what will the taste of our work be?

 

Check out the table I made outlining the qualities of Aristotelians and Platonists.

To which stream(s) do you belong?

Steiner talks about two important groups of people who are represented in the Anthroposophical Society, which have different ways of approaching life and spirituality.  These, he roughly sketched as the Aristotelians (followers of Aristotle, Scholastics, Dominicans), and Platonists (followers of Plato, the School of Chartres, Cistercians).  While doing research on these two groups, I drew up a chart of the characteristics of each group.  The link below brings up a rather long pdf file for your perusal.  Corrections and comments are welcome!
