The Human Etheric between Molecular Biology and Cosmic Forces

Two physicians versed both in the most modern cell biology and in Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science investigate how modern molecular images – DNA, mRNA, proteins, fluorescence microscopy, cryo-EM – can become an “occult prison” for our imagination. Starting from dense, gel-like cells and processes on a quantum scale through to Steiner’s conception of the protein as the bearer of the etheric body, he shows how our life forces, illnesses and even medical prognoses reveal themselves in the mysterious behaviour of proteins such as albumin.

A contribution by Matthew Mirkin and James Dyson from Dach on the occasion of the International Annual Conference 2025 of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum.
