Man or Matter

Review title: Review of Man or Matter: Ernst Lehrs, the Einstein of astral-etheric forces Short version: Lehrs details humankind’s slow progress of dis-identification with physical-material matter and our growing healthy identification with truly human values and a light-filled, humanistic stance. Lehrs shows how the inner life of humankind was never static, but was always in movement towards humanistic values. Borrowing from recent thinking not found in Lehrs, while second-order Cartesian-Newtonian science was progressive in the 1700s-1800s, only second and third order science is progressive in the 21st century. Goethean Holistic Science is first-order science. “The handbook to the Borderlands of Science… fundamental text for science in harmony with nature” ~ Borderland Science Research Without acrimony or anger, Lehrs reveals how Cartesian-Newtonian science was inescapably led to the illusions it holds today. Lehrs offers readers exit doors from the one-eyed, color-blind science based exclusively on matter and gravity. Lehrs rectifies Goethe’s two-fold approach to experiments of all kinds, what we now call “experimental science.” Goethean color studies ~ By far the best presentation I have ever seen of many of Goethe’s color studies and how to grasp their significance. Lehrs was a Waldorf high school science teacher. Review of Man or Matter: Ernst Lehrs, the Einstein of astral-etheric forces Review of Man or Matter, Understanding of Nature on the Basis of Goethe's Method of Training Observation and Thought. Other books like Man or Matter ~ Etheric Formative Forces, Gunther Wachsmuth, German: 1923, English: 1932 The Evolution of Matter, Gustave Le Bon (1909) All three of these books are still read and highly regarded by fringe science enthusiasts of every stripe. Edition notes for Man or Matter ~ German title is “Man and Matter.” Not sure where the confusing ‘Man OR Matter’ comes from.
