This is how I think about the 3-fold at the moment.  It is a long time since I worked with the source Steiner material on my own and in various study groups, and I have been working and living with what it ever since,   This means that what I write may well have evolved and may not be the same, I may have mis-remembered things!  I hope that any differences there might be will add interest to the site and to my life!  You should therefore feel free to question and doubt what I write...

This is the time of the 3-fold.  The 3-fold is a system which takes Freedom in to account.  Prior to this time Freedom was not possible for most people.  200 years ago, during the French revolution, the motto Fraternity, Equality, Liberty appeared.  This motto is the motto of the 3-fold, and it was unfortunate that it was brought at a time when Equality was impossible, and therefore freedom was impossible, and as a consequence, the whole 3-fold was impossible.  Hope was dashed, and with it, the reputation of the motto!  A clever trick by the forces of hindrance?!?

I'd love to do the next bit with an animation, in Flash perhaps, but I don't know how... can anyone help?
