Sensitive Chaos

The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air

By: Theodor Schwenk

Why does water always take a winding course in streams and rivers? Do common principles and rhythms underlie its movement - whether it be in the sea, in a plant, or even in the blood of a human being? In this seminal and thought-provoking work, the laws apparent in the subtle patterns of water in movement are shown to be the same as those perceptible in the shaping of bones, muscles and a myriad of other forms in nature. Fully illustrated, Sensitive Chaos reveals the unifying forces that underlie all living things. The author observes and explains such phenomena as the flight of birds, the formation of internal organs such as the heart, eye and ear, as well as mountain ranges and river deltas, weather and space patterns, and even the formation of the human embryo.

Water

The Element of Life

By: Theodor Schwenk,Wolfram Schwenk

An unnoticed component of the present educational, social, and even ecological crises lies in the declining value given what we correctly call the "humanities." The study of the living words of great authors--Homer, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, the Romantic poets, the Russian novelists--no longer forms the basis of the education of the human soul. The imagination is disparaged, marginalized, politicized, and devalued. Young people are instead fed a monotonous diet of information, scientism, and technology. While these are certainly important and useful--maybe even necessary to our survival--once they become the basis for educating our children, the result is an assault on what it means to be human. Built around the work of Christy MacKaye Barnes, the themes of this collection include the training of imagination, speech, and poetry, and expanding human capacities through the study of great authors. The writers include many of the great first-generation English teachers in the Waldorf movement. Contents: Part One Christy MacKaye Barnes, nine essays, including: "Can the Imagination Be Trained?" "The Crisis of the Word Today" "Why Write?" "Schooling Capacities through the Study of Great Authors" "Backgrounds for Russian Literature" Part Two Adam Bittleston, "The Future of the English Language" L. Francis Edmunds, "Literature in the Upper School" Linda Sawers, "In the Footsteps of Dante" Isabelle Wyatt, "Chaucer and the Modern Consciousness" A. C. Harwood, "Fair Mountain and Fine City" Adam Bittleston, "Shakespeare's Troubled Kings" Ursula Grahl, "In Quest of the Holy Grail" L. Francis Edmunds, "The Trials of Parsifal" Hugh Hetherington, "Grail Mountain and Garden of Marvels" Eileen Hutchins, "Wolfram and Wagner" Adam Bittleston, "Christopher Fry and the Riddle of Evil" Susan Demanett, "Questing toward a True Understanding of Grammar" Dorit Winter, "We Love Grammar" This collection is essential for anyone interested in the Waldorf curriculum and in restoring a real study of literature for young people.

Water

The Element of Life : Essays

By: Theodor Schwenk,Wolfram Schwenk

It is the living movement of water that makes life on Earth possible. Based on spiritual science and on their own numerous experiments, Theodor and Wolfram Schwenk show that our Earth is a living organism, with water as a sensory organ that perceives vital cosmic influences and transmits them into earthly life. This pioneering classic on water is more relevant now than ever before.

It is the living movement of water that makes life on Earth possible. Water: The Element of Life combines the pioneering water research of Theodor and Wolfram Schwenk with the most contemporary findings of The Institute for Flow Sciences, which, for over forty years, has studied the unique mediating nature of fluid water. Illustrated throughout with striking photographs and drawings that radically transform our understanding of water, this book proposes an entirely new consciousness of water that offers viable solutions to our environmental crises today.
