Development of the Stages of Knowledge of the Etheric
Description
A contribution by Matthias Rang.
Development of the Stages of Knowledge of the Etheric
Living beings and natural processes develop out of the forces of the etheric. It is therefore appropriate not to assume that the etheric itself is rigidly fixed, but to describe development as part of its nature. And so it is not surprising that our knowledge of the etheric, too – looking back over the last 100 years – has passed through metamorphoses of understanding. In this contribution we will briefly characterise many of these stages of knowledge, as they can be described from the publications, and look at them in their own history of development.
A contribution by Matthias Rang, held on 13 June 2025 during the Meditation Colloquium of the Natural Science Section. Published 22 August 2025.
