America is in a state of turmoil, which you are more than suggesting, and yet people we meet seem relatively sane and normal. This doesn't mean they aren't seething beneath the surface of a socially prescribed and behavioral model, and it is having an effect on their psyche. You see, it is America itself that begets the offspring of the Consciousness Soul Age. Central Europe is the focal point for the advent of modern Ego Consciousness, which is expressed in the German language by one word, "I-CH". The Sentient Soul now is expressed in the Italian Folk Soul, the Intellectual Soul by the British and French Folk Souls, and this leaves America to be the advocate of the Consciousness Soul, which is still largely rooted in the ancient oriental system of Yoga, but this is now outdated by today's standards. So, America today is living at the crossroads, or even the cross-hairs of a new spiritual movement that exists, which, indeed, corresponds to the Central Europe core of the "I AM", but has yet to be made known for the good of the Consciousness Soul in America. As you know, it is Anthroposophical Spiritual Science that is needed as a cultural imperative in America, and without it, the future destiny of the Russian Folk Soul is in jeopardy for the future age of Philadelphia, c. 3573 AD, which is designed to give a certain presentiment of the Spirit Self.
Yet, America will get nowhere until it takes up a spiritual cause. It is like Steiner informing his Russian audience in a lecture from June 5, 1913, that Woodrow Wilson has just become the American President, and a conflict will occur between Russia and America that will come to a head by the 1980's. But, the concept of freedom is different between Russia and America. Russia has a vision, based on being a young folk soul, of freedom that is entirely of the spirit, while America is one where freedom is characterized as "a useful cow giving milk and butter". Thus, Steiner tells the Russians in 1913 that America is a "house of cards", which will rise to a certain height of brilliance, and then collapse.
This is quite predictive today, don't you think? Even Wilhelm Reich detected it when he defected to America in 1933. He would come to call it, in the clinical sense, the emotional plague of mankind. And he was looking at American Souls with the deepest compassion. He longed for real consciousness.
Hi John,
