 A Mystery Drama Atlas?
"Cloud Atlas gives basic insights into the workings of reincarnation and karma. Here's to hoping that the next Wachowski cinematic endeavor is a series of films titled Rudolf Steiner's Mystery Dramas." - From a movie review by Mark Jackson in The Epoch Times.

Mot du Secrétaire général
 Je voudrais dans ce texte faire un bref compte rendu des réunions qui ont eu lieu récemment.
La rencontre des secrétaires généraux: Du 6 au 9 novembre dernier se tenait à Dornach la rencontre du comité directeur avec les secrétaires généraux et les responsables des différentes sections. Notre travail commun portait sur l'être et la vie de la société anthroposophique. Ce fut aussi un moment opportun pour partager ce qui se passe dans les différentes régions du monde...
Le travail au Gœtheanum: ...Les défis quant aux travaux de rénovation du Gœtheanum sont sous le signe d'un nouveau souffle; il ne s'agit pas seulement de réparer certaines structures extérieures, mais de rénover des parties de la scène, d'y aménager un espace pour l'École de la science de l'esprit et aussi de permettre à la sculpture du Représentant de l'Humanité d'avoir enfin la juste place qui lui convient...
Notre relation à Rudolf Steiner: ...On sait que Rudolf Steiner a lié son karma personnel avec celui de la Société anthroposophique lors du congrès de Noël 1923. Ce geste doit être interprété avec le plus grand respect, car il témoigne d'un sacrifice immense. Cela implique aussi qu'on ne peut pas séparer Rudolf Steiner de sa création...
Le congrès de l'AGA de 2013: Notre préparation pour le congrès de l'AGA qui aura lieu du 17-19 mai va bon train. Dennis Klocek sera le conférencier invité. Le thème choisi est : Le défide notre volonté sociale...

Letter from Arie van Ameringen
In this article I shall attempt to provide a brief summary of recent meetings and activities: General Secretaries' Meeting: Our work together focused on the theme: The Being and the Life of the Anthroposophical Society. This was also an opportunity to share news of the work being done in various regions of the globe...
The Work at the Goetheanum: ...The challenges involved in the renovation work on the Goetheanum reveal the dawning of a new impulse; not only will certain exterior structures be repaired, but the plans include redoing parts of the stage in order to provide a space for the School for Spiritual Science and to make it possible for the statue of the Representative of Man to at last be given its rightful place...
Our Relationship to Rudolf Steiner: ...We know that Rudolf Steiner united his personal karma with that of the Anthroposophical Society during the 1923/1924 Christmas Conference. This deed must be contemplated with the greatest possible reverence, for it points to an immense sacrifice and implies that Rudolf Steiner cannot be separated from his creation...
The 2013 AGM Conference: Our preparations for the AGM conference to be held from May 17th to 19th in Montréal are well underway. Dennis Klocek will be the guest lecturer, and the conference theme is: The Challenge of our Social Will...

Réunion du Conseil de Vancouver - Thanksgiving 2012
- Jean Balekian
...Il y avait aussi l'aspect administratif et la décision de donner une impulsion aux communications écrites et électroniques. Comment pourraient-elles être un lieu de partage pour l'activité à travers le Canada et un sentiment de communauté. De l'avis général , nous ressentions le besoin de développer un vrai site pour la Société Anthroposophique au Canada qui serait un portail d'introduction, une page le E-news, et avec la rapidité de ce moyen de communication, un reflet de l'activité au Canada. Au niveau de l'écrit, Glimpses se métamorphose pour contenir des articles de recherches plus propices à la réflexion...Lisez plus

- by Jean Balekian ...As to our administrative work, we agreed that we would give a new impulse to the communications aspect in both its printed and electronic forms. We discussed how these elements could become a space for sharing activities across the country and for developing a sense of community. We all agreed that it would be essential to develop a fully functional website for the Anthroposophical Society in Canada that could serve as a portal of introduction and would contain a link to ENews. The immediacy of this medium could perhaps best reflect the rapidly developing activity in Canada. On the other hand, concerning printed publications, Glimpses is undergoing a transformation and will contain research articles requiring more reflection time on the part of the reader...Read full article.

Library Project
 by Dorothy LeBaron, for the Council
The Council of the Anthroposophical Society in Canada discussed the question of the National Library at the last meeting in Vancouver, fall 2012. We looked at the history of the Library, at how it is currently being used, and at future possibilities for the Library.

Projet Bibliothèque
- de Dorothy LeBaron, au nom du Conseil
Les membres du Conseil de la Société anthroposophique au Canada se sont penchés sur la question de notre Bibliothèque nationale lors de leur dernière rencontre, qui a eu lieu à l'automne 2012 à Vancouver. Nous avons examiné l'histoire de la bibliothèque et la façon dont elle est utilisée à l'heure actuelle pour déterminer comment elle pourrait le mieux servir à l'avenir. Nous avons reconnu un besoin d'organiser un groupe composé d'un noyau d'individus qui assumerait la responsabilité d'amener notre bibliothèque à sa prochaine étape.

Space And
Anthroposophical Initiatives
 - Report by Michael Roboz on a talk by Bert Chase at the recent Open House of the Rudolf Steiner Centre Vancouver
Rudolf Steiner...stressed that unless we are able to transform the forming principles at work in our environments then the archaic principles embodied in them will create increasing hindrances not only for the development of anthroposophical life but for human development as a whole. The spaces that we inherit from the past will stand in the way of the anthroposophical work we do to transform culture. Read full article.

- by Judy King The keynote lectures given at the major Dornach english-speaking conference in 2010, 'Entering the 21st Century Spiritually', have been published as a book by Rudolf Steiner Press privately, under the auspices of the Anthroposophical Society. This was carried out at the request of the UK Society so that members who were unable to go to Dornach could be provided with a copy. The Council of ASC has acquired copies for distribution to groups and branches across Canada, with the aim of making the book accessible to all members who wish to read it.... Read full article. |

The Art Of Being
 - notes by Kathleen Edmison from a workshop with Dr. Michael Lipson (22-23 September, 2012 in Barrie ON)
...More questions arose...Why are we here? God wanted to show what He could do. The etymology of the word God is rooted in the word pour. Our minds are always 'pouring'....could the chatter in our heads begin to give way to an effortless streaming of consciousness that is of a higher intuitive order? Ease rather than effort is the watchword here. Everything in the worldis pouring towards us eternally and it echoes in our stream of consciousness. To be happy is to be in harmony with the happening of the universe, remarked Dr. Lipson. He also memorably said, Effortlessness takes work and You cannot be somebody until you know you are nobody...

Videorecording of public lecture
In partnership with the Ontario BD Society, Mark McAlister is arranging a follow-up teleconference in January, in which Dr. Lipson will answer questions arising from the public lecture. If you are interested in participating, please contact Mark.
