Seminar: Günther Pauli, Natural phenomena and their Spiritual Origin

Günther Pauli, the author of this page, was born on March 14, 1959, in Bamberg, Germany and grew up there as the younger of two siblings. After graduating from high school, he studied physics and philosophy at the University of Erlangen and, after an initial career in business, decided to teach scientific content. In addition to his teaching activities at vocational schools, he worked independently in the teaching of physics, mathematics and chemistry, mainly to students in the upper secondary school. In recent years, he and his wife have set up a tutoring institute on Lake Constance, which was attended by students from a wide variety of school types. He currently lives in the state of Saxony, in Chemnitz as a freelancer.

From his youth on, he was concerned with the desire for a synthesis between science and religion or between the natural sciences and spirituality, and  many suggestions arose from his encounter with Heinz Grill and the work of Rudolf Steiner.

Gravity and Uprightness", a picture from the book "Die Signaturen der Planeten und die seelisch-geistige Entwicklung in der Pädagogik" by Heinz Grill¹.

What is “gravity”, what is “electricity” or "thermal ether"? Gravity is when something has "weight" or "falls with acceleration", electricity is "charge at rest or in motion" and thermal ether I don't know.

Are such answers sufficient for you? If not, we can ask further questions: What is the connection between phenomena in nature or in technology and spiritual processes? Is there such a connection at all? What possibilities for an elevated view of the world and of humanity could arise from this?
