Bernie Raichle and Diana Bacchus Meetings with Michelle We [Bernie and Diana] meet with Michelle Vette from time to time to offer local support to her and the other Council members, Emma and Nic. To assist with communication, we would like to share a few things that we discussed this week. Society Day and AGM Saturday, 10th August, beginning at 8.30 a.m. This is to be held at the Centre, hosted by the local HB Branch of the Anthro Society, and helpers. There is an exciting programme based on the theme "100 +1". This is a theme that people at the Goetheanum are working with, looking forward to the coming years and the potential that abounds for the future. There are a variety of contributors from NZ giving talks, leading discussions and artistic work. The ASNZ Council have informed members via email of this event and will be keeping them up to date.

Bernie Raichle and Diana Bacchus Heating There have been recent complaints that the Daikin Heat Pump Air Conditioner in the Main Room was not working, WE have had it serviced. The refrigerant gas was depleted – this has been replenished and the Heat Pump is now working well. From another point of view: Do any readers have a knee rug or two that they could donate to the Centre? The technicians had a few pointers for us:

RB Building Valuation This report completed a few weeks ago can be read on our website under More... Building Valuation Chris Bacchus offers: Foundation Stone Meditation [FSM] Conversation Series #3 Wednesday 17 July, 7pm at the Centre This is truly an unending topic. We began with a brief look at the model of the first Goetheanum, in the main room. We then heard the first part of the “FSM”. Up to the first time “May Human Beings Hear it.” rings out. We will continue with a look, next Wednesday, at the columns inside the large Cupola. If this interests you feel free to join us for this episode. No matter how many times we have a conversation on the “FSM”, it will never cover entirely the same ground, so manifold are the possibilities in this meditation.

Contact Kathy on 027-2330970 QUOTE: Demons / Ghosts / Phantoms"You must realize that in the astral body and in the etheric body, as well as in the physical body, you feel the workings of other beings; all that you do involuntarily, everything to which you are impelled, is due to the working of other beings; it is not born from nothingness. The various members of man’s nature are all the time actually permeated and filled by other beings, and many of the exercises given by an initiated teacher are for the purpose of driving out these beings in order that a man may become more and more free. The beings who permeate the astral body and make it unfree are known as “Demons.” Your astral body is always interpenetrated by demons and the beings you yourselves generate through your true or false thoughts are of such a nature that they gradually grow into demons. There are good demons, generated by good thoughts; but bad thoughts, above all those that are untruthful, generate demoniacal forms of the most terrible and frightful kind and these interlard the astral body — if I may so express it. The etheric body is also permeated by beings from which man must free himself; these beings are called “Spectres”, “ghosts.” And finally, permeating the physical body there are beings known as “Phantoms.” Besides these three classes there are yet other beings, the “Spirits,” who drive the Ego hither and thither — the Ego itself also being a Spirit. In actual fact the human being generates such creatures who then determine his inner and outer destiny when he descends to incarnation. These beings work in your life in such a way that you can feel the “demons” created by your astral body, the “ghosts” or “spectres” created by your etheric body and the “phantoms” created by your physical body. All these beings are related to you and approach you when the time comes for reincarnation."
