Maria Thun – Kosmologische und Evolutionsaspekte (in German)

In the records of my ancestors, their occupation was given as "husbandman". Even before I was of school age, I was often allowed to go out to the fields with my father when he was sowing. Meanwhile I played there with the brightly coloured stones, of which there were a great many in the soil, or let the earth trickle through my fingers. When I asked, "Wos äs doos?", he answered: "Ei Määdche, Ääre" (earth). Later, at the village school, we learned in autumn how to set up compost heaps from plant waste. How astonished I was in spring that it had turned into soil.

At the age of thirty, the cosmos began to reveal itself to me through the different forms it shapes in plants. These effects were evidently connected with certain sequences in time. So the task was to research cosmic rhythms. The encounter with Rudolf Steiner's "Agriculture Course" brought answers to pressing questions, but also many new open questions. Over fifty years of research, many questions concerning the kingdoms of nature found answers.

Again and again, attempts had to be made to come closer to the laws of the mineral, plant and animal realms, as well as those of weeds, pests or even death-bringing nuclear power. In order to gain insight into the action required in this respect, other dimensions had to be taken into account, which is what this book has attempted to do.
