Rudolf Steiner's Views on Medicine and Spirituality

So basically more than a hundred years ago, Rudolf Steiner wrote the following.

In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine.

Under the pretext of a healthy point of view, there will be a

vaccine by which the human body will be treated as soon as possible

directly at birth, so that the human being cannot develop the

thought of the existence of soul and spirit.

To materialistic doctors will be entrusted the task of removing

the soul of humanity. As today, people are vaccinated against

this disease or that disease, so in the future, children will be

vaccinated with a substance that can be produced precisely in such a

way that people, thanks to this vaccination,

will be immune to being

subjected to the madness of spiritual life.

He would be extremely smart, but he would not develop a conscience.

And that is the true goal of some materialistic circles.

With such a vaccine, you can easily make the etheric body loose

in

the physical body. Once the etheric body is detached, the

relationship between the universe and the etheric body would become

extremely

unstable, and man would become an automaton.

For the physical body of a man must be polished on this earth by spiritual

will. So the vaccine becomes a kind of

an Ahrimanic force. Man can no

longer get rid of a given materialistic feeling.

He becomes materialistic of constitution and can no

longer rise to the spiritual.
