Thank you Cecilia Staubli to share with us these beautiful text from Bernardo Kaliks
There are several ways to be able to relate to this party. The present epoch, so far from any religious or spiritual authentically, offers, paradoxically, many elements that enable a relationship with this party.
The Feast of Passover is the festival that recalls the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. The Christ, a God, a being who had never been on earth, and that only knows Eternity, binds to human, exposing themselves to the most difficult experience that all men must face: the experience of death. And He wins: He carries the physical body in what is known as the Resurrection.
Nowadays, the human being becomes more and more frequently by experiments that, one way or another, resembling something like death, often people are faced for example, by the profession taken years before, and see how a professional launch is coming to an end, and you realize that nothing can replace it, the lack of professional motivation, after years, generates a feeling of emptiness in the soul, a "nothing," we do have the feeling of an end, a "little death." Not only can this happen professionally but also in relation to the family. Often people who come to 42-45 years of age with relatively stable job, a family relatively well established, teens or already entering the University, feel a lack of meaning in all this, and wish they could "start over" leave it all behind, and this can be very dramatic, because their own relationships, their poor quality, accentuate the feeling of meaninglessness, emptiness inside himself that had generated.
These examples are increasingly frequent, to a greater or lesser degree, and in several situations, we all go through this experience of "order", "nothing", "no sense."
But the same thing we found not only in personal life, we find it embedded for those things that we had a more transcendent meaning, for example in science, scientific development has brought about the implementation of its results, unpredictable consequences for nature: the repeated ecological catastrophes in the second half of our century illustrate this very clearly. But the reader should not think that these consequences are the result of an oversight only: this opinion is built enormous ingenuity. The reality is that the very methodology of science, the scientific method itself generates these serious consequences, because the scientific method has limitations: this method has the resources to describe the material composition of the world, but it can not explain the nature of life, so this one needs another method, developed by Rudolf Steiner in his anthroposophy. The traditional scientific method in its practical applications, developed all the material welfare as we know in our civilization, but reached a point where its more sophisticated application that reverses welfare in disaster situations, which are unexpected and frightening. This leads more and more to realize that many people here too, in science, we arrive at a final point that shows the future as frightening unknown. The situation in medicine (the problems of bioethics), the situation in pedagogy and child's education, agriculture, etc.., Etc.., Shows us that we reached the end of a path. This ending is like a death. But the impulse of Christ brought the Resurrection. And it is with these forces of Resurrection that we should learn today to put ourselves in life, also within the sciences. This brings a new understanding of man and nature that will teach us to act differently.
And this situation is illustrated for us in Easter week where the Passion, Death and Resurrection can inspire us to reflect on the seriousness of the moment we live in and the seriousness with which we must confront the changes that we go through.
