Georg Kühlewind Memorial Lecture
BRAKING FOR ALLIGATORS: From
Normal to Possibly Healthy
Alexander Dreier
A humorous monologue drawing on the author’s
medical odyssey through a mind-field of symptoms, acronyms, and neuro-jargon to his confirmed diagnosis of Lewy Body Disease, a neurological condition with intriguing epistemological
consequences. While largely comedic in nature,
“Braking for Alligators” has its reflective moments, covering a wide territory ranging from the
experience of cognitive impairment to the ontology of “visual illusions” and
hallucinations, as well as the
deeper meanings of illness
and why we keep losing our
glasses.
ALEXANDER DREIER:
humorist, retired psychologist, and longtime student of
Georg Kühlewind has written and performed a number
of autobiographical comic monologues over the
past 15 years. All of his monologues explore what
it means to be human, and how life can so often be
unexpectedly and exquisitely humorous. Alexander
is a distant cousin of the renowned—and little understood—anthroposophical lecturer “Herr Dreier”
(pictured in his mysterious 2010 NYC appearance).

MONTHLY MEMBERS’
EVENING
First-Friday members’ evenings working on
the theme of the year: “The I Knows Itself – in
the Light of Michaelic World Affirmation.” The
evening’s focus will be a discussion on the Steiner
quote: “Christ descended for all human beings and
only through our feeling related to everyone else
do we belong to the earth. The deeper understanding of the Christ derives from our effort to attain a
full and complete connection with them.” Refreshments will be served. Next dates: 11/7, 12/5.

Monthly Lecture
THE RELATIONSHIP OF
ANTHROPOSOPHY & YOGA
David Taulbee Anderson
These lectures will focus on the processes
involved in meditation as described in anthroposophy and Raja Yoga. All other schools
of yoga and branches of anthroposophy are to be considered
as helps and supports leading towards the results of the three
phases of meditation. The fruits of these can contribute to
various compartments of life and be of great practical benefit
in all life and culture. Part 2: Patanjali’s Raja Yoga: This is
the Yoga of Will. Its goal is taking the reins of the soul forces
of the human being with the will and eventually entering into
the will force itself as the highest aspect of human soul life
which merges with universal will. Next dates: 11/12, 12/10.
DAVID TAULBEE ANDERSON: has taught drawing and Wagner painting around the world. He holds an MA in Art and
certificates from Emerson College (Waldorf education), and
the Wagner School at the Goetheanum (teaching painting).

THE PERFORMANCE GROUP *NEW*
Attention artists of all kinds, anyone who does anything
creative or would like to learn how—beginners and professionals alike! In September we began a performance group
directed by Vincent Roppolo and David Anderson. We will
work together on a piece by David T. Anderson, each person
contributing in their personal manner with the integrating
help of the directors. No experience is necessary, only a desire
to be a part of a Gesamtkunstwerk or “Total Work of Art.” We
will meet once or twice a month to develop the performance.
More details are on the website front page, www.asnyc.org.

Evening Talk
OWEN BARFIELD:
Reflections on My
Grandfather
Owen A. Barfield
Owen Barfield (1898-1997) was one of
the preeminent anthroposophists of the 20th century and a
well-known thinker from his university days, when he was a
founding member of the “Inklings”—a group that included
C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. OB’s History in English Words and Poetic Diction are well-known to
lovers of language. What Coleridge Thought did much to
reveal that famous poet’s greatness as a general philosopher,
and OB’s insights into the evolution of consciousness (see
Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry) have met with
considerable attention in the USA from the 1960s forward.
This evening is a presentation and open conversation with
