life: interdisciplinary

Written By Sophie Burns

Painting by Claude Monet, “Haystacks (Effect of Snow and Sun)” 1891

“We must emphasize again and again that the anthroposophical world-conception fosters a consciousness of the common source of art, religion and science. During ancient periods of evolution these three were not separated; they existed in unity. The Mysteries which fostered that unity were a kind of combination art institute, church and school. For what they offered was not a one-sided sole dependence upon language. The words uttered by the initiate as both cognition and spiritual revelation were supported and illustrated by sacred rituals unfolding, before listening spectators, in mighty pictures."
- Rudolf Steiner, Theosophy of the Rosicrucian

And oh like the morning sun’s melting touch into snow or the blending of fresh paint onto a wanting canvas, is not the merging of true understanding across once separable domains of the most cohesive and beautiful experiences of wonder there is?
