Walking with our time: Can we transform evil?
with Christine Gruwez
We still live with a dual understanding of the world and ourselves. Dual, or dualistic, means: either … or. A choice has to be made and by choosing one of the two terms has to be excluded. Rudolf Steiner is the one who has given this dual world view new possibilities. From duality to polarity, meaning: both terms can interact in such a way that something new can manifest.
The key word here is “gentle/mild”. For a Manichaeism of the future, mildness, for example, is the ability to meet fellow human beings in their ‘greatness’, not only by incorporating their ‘smaller’ sides, but thanks to these very ‘shadow’ aspects, to nurture the light within them and let it shine forth.
These can only be very small steps. Actually they cannot be small and unpretentious enough. The art of the small steps is taking care that with each step a following one will remain possible, without determining in advance what it will be. In this presaging, tentative procedure, mildness emerges as a signature of a real transformation, in which ever more will participate.
