An approach to the question…
“Can spiritual initiation be accomplished by means of free conversation?”
__________________________

Dear Community of Anthroposophical Friends,

I have asked author Carl Flygt to expand upon his leading thoughts on Goethean Conversation for our readership.

To my delight, he has agreed and now you will find the first of possibly five Essays - leading thought studies, below.

Carl describes his book as an extension of Thomas Jefferson’s deep and beautiful idea that a free people, well informed, can be trusted with their own government. For Carl, truly free people are cosmic spiritual beings, angel men and women under hierarchies of even greater spiritual beings, and their government is their conversation. Carl thinks there are actual cosmic laws involved in conversation, involving as they must the free will of individuals, and the impulses of social unity and self-conscious understanding. Carl thinks that if those laws can be described accurately and submitted for a general, critical acceptance, a new form of life on earth, the precursor to future stages of earth evolution itself, will inevitably arise. Today we are seeing the beginnings of that new life form in social phenomena involving collective intelligence and conscious conversation.
