Why Social Renewal in the Threefold Fashion?
It is clear for any thinking mind that during the last hundred years and more mankind has most exclusively devoted its attention to the development of a science, technology and related social forms based upon a singularly materialistic world view and conviction.
At the same time this materialistic and now openly labeled “technocratic” world view has always promoted the opinion that “belief” is for one hour a week – or much less – and conveniently to be spent behind closed doors in a church.
Through the promotion of these two intertwined and well-coordinated conviction agendas, man’s inner life, man’s inner moral and spiritual development, has been excluded from the technologically dominated expansion into all corners of the working and social life. The result of the ensuing inner lethargy arising through the dominance of the two named thought-works in the social life, mankind is being lulled with the most suggestive of words into the acceptance of a new “belief” which states that in order to survive as mankind, we must all succumb to the merging of the our beings with robots and computers – in a manner which will of necessity eliminate the last remnant of the possibility for the development of a free human will.
Mankind has already been lured into a sleep walking robotic state of mindless thought construction by those who wish to create a type of “transhumanistic society” where man will experience a forced integration, merging and amalgamation with Artificial Intelligence and the so-called emerging “Internet of Things”.
In fact, however, it was this ever-stronger push towards an all-encompassing societal development under materialist views and beliefs fought with a type of religious vigor, which managed to push mankind into the last hundred and ten years of never ending worldwide wars and destruction.
The only alternative to the long-developed and already well initiated plan for the technocratic elimination of a mankind that is divinely intended, is an unveiling and unfolding of the understanding of the Three-fold nature of society.
Nothing relating to mankind can be kept at a stand-still or in a static state. Development and change will, of necessity, come. The decision, however, for which kind of development is to occur, is in the hands of men and women who have awakened to this basic understanding of the social life and our present predicament. There is an enormous wave taking place. In what spirit and out of which belief do men and women not only become aware of the enormous responsibility of the individual for shaping our collective future but, also, how can awakened individuals join together armed with convictions which will succeed in bringing about a social life development and renewed organisation which corresponds closely to each individuals most intrinsic internal needs upon this Earth?
The Threefold Social Life ideas and understanding for the Reclaiming of Society are based upon the non-mystical observation that there are actually three qualitatively different spheres of social life in general.
These three spheres can be named:
The Cultural and the Spiritual or Religious Life Sphere
The Sphere of Rights and Lawfulness
The Sphere of the Economic Related Activities or Production and Manufacturing.
Each of these three spheres fulfill three entirely different needs which each and every human being living on the Earth shares.
The Cultural Life Sphere fulfills the need for inner freedom in all areas of the personal development. This sphere can first flourish, when freedom of access to this most essential sphere of life is granted and guaranteed by the activities of the rest of society. From this sphere however, which does not create material goods, all true inspiration for the entirety of society emerges.
The Sphere of Manufacturing and Production fulfills the requirement for basic and also for more complex material goods needed for life on the earth. This sphere will first flourish, when men and women come together in a brotherly and sisterly cooperative manner and in an inner solidarity of will, in order, through their individual work, to care for the needs of each of the others. An assoicative production for all replaces a natural world destructive over-production for purely capital gains.
The Sphere of the Rights Life balances between the other two aforenamed spheres, which bear, in and of themselves, a dynamic polarity in quality and function. The Rights Sphere provides for the equality of Integration into society of the needs and requirements of each and every man and woman and endows each with a voice in all affairs which affect their lives, the lives of their families and of their communities.
Only the Threefolding of Society can create a damn against the impending destruction of mankinds livelihoods, the Earth and the seemingly mammoth push for the technocratic agenda.
Only the Threefold Society can provide for a modern day fulfillment of the differentiated and intrinsic needs of all men and women.
A Bit of Threefold History
Presented to the world over 100 years ago by Rudolf Steiner, when Europe and the world was in shreds and tatters after the first ever so-called “World War I”, the call was put out to mankind to commence with a step by step renewal and re-formation of the social structures within which all men, women and children are integrated and all live.
Although there was a great enthusiasm in Europe for a Threefold societal renewal at that time, and the movement flourished in wide circles, in the end, not enough men and women could inwardly grasp and begin to manifest the tenets of the Threefolding, and thus the call for the transformation went largely unheard – falling by the wayside.
The failure of the manifestation of the Threefold movement – becoming as it were a “Cassandra” call for mankind to awaken – witnessed as a direct result the sowing of the seeds for the next even more horrific World War,. Today, as we stand on the brink of a potentially even more destructive third worldwide war, which in effect has been waged in smaller fragments since the ending of the second one, it is essential for humanities future existence, that the call be most decisively heard. Instead of allowing ourselves to be lulled into the suggestive predictive programming and propoganda aimed messaging put out to us all implying that “freedom” can only be attained through the waging of endless waves of cataclysmic events including the ravaging of lives and communities, it is imperative that men and women begin to realize what inner freedom in actuality is, and to take decisive steps towards its realization.
In essence these endless wars and mindless waves of annihlation of the lives of millions of men, of women and of children finds its origin in the fact that the social forms existing no longer correspond to the inner developmental needs of mankind. We are simply no longer the naïve children of several hundreds of years ago who -perhaps – could not take care of taking care of their brethren – at least in the minds of the so-called aristocrats of the earlier centuries. And today, even if the aristocrats pretend to have disappeared, it is in essence the same blood lines, armed with their their self conjured up term “Technocracy” who wish to usher in their type of societal transformation, fed by forces which in no manner are compatible with the inner being dwelling within the men and women on the Earth.
The threefold social life renewal is an activity which brings forth social forms intrinsicly aligned with men and women’s inner need and requirement for development and at the same time can fulfill the material needs for a sufficiency of livelihood for all living on the Earth.
