Lecturer the Sun pole while the audience is the Moon
What role does the lecture have in a Free Community? The lecture format makes the lecturer the sun pole, his audience the Moon which makes for an old fashioned top down form of spiritual authority. Didn’t Rudolf Steiner lecture? That was the beginning stage of anthroposophy. Have we advanced since then?

Conversation As Shared Contemplation
The Philosophy of Freedom encourages and celebrates each person’s unique spiritual being and unique treasure which can enrichen community life. A balance is sought between the sun / moon polarity of speaking and listening. Group discussion, with effort by the participants, can rise to the level of contemplative conversation, or rather pure thinking as a group experience that results in group insight, real relationship between person and person, and a powerful impulse to joint activism. Community, then, will more likely be an awakening experience.
