Gemeinschaftsbildung im Lichte Michaels

The question of community formation presents itself today as a significant challenge: on one hand, we are confronted with outdated forms, while on the other, we realize that our sense of self is still in a childhood stage. Despite a deep longing for community, we often experience the opposite: fragmentation, conflict, and war. How can we overcome the barrier to connecting with others? These questions deeply engaged Karl König amidst the turmoil of the 20th century. It becomes evident how he oriented himself towards a future development of humanity in connection with the real workings of the Christ being. Rudolf Steiner described the heavenly pure archetype of humanity as the 'Nathanian soul.' This soul became the bearer of Christ's power and is central to its renewal impulses for the healing of individuals and humanity as a whole. The authors, coming from various perspectives and including references to specific exercises, outline paths for future community formation in the light of Michael. Two plays by Carlo Pietzner and Karl König dramatically depict this search for the archetype of humanity and community.
