This letter to the editor was in the most recent volume of Wise Traditions. I didn’t plan on reading the issue, which is devoted to the U.S. vaccination debate, because it’s not a debate for me. But somehow I managed to open the volume and this letter JUMPED out at me. Very unusual, I think, to speak of spirituality in a publication devoted to farming and traditional foods.
Vaccinations and Spiritual Growth
In the early 1920s, the esoteric philosopher Rudolf Steiner warned that in the future, vaccines would be designed as (sic) make it impossible for individuals to have a spiritual life—that people who got vaccines would be unable to recognize or understand the existence of a supersensible world and the role it plays in our lives, and only accept as real the physical world they can see, touch and hear.
There is an actual scientific explanation for this effect: the mercury and aluminum in vaccines have adverse effects on the pineal gland. The pineal gland is said to be the 'seat of the soul,' and Steiner said that the pineal gland would gradually evolve to become a 'third eye' that would allow us, as fully developed individuals, to see into and receive enlightenment from the spiritual worlds. Thus, the practice of vaccination disrupts this process of evolution, one that human beings long for, one that Steiner claimed is actually necessary for our happiness and survival.

This reminded me of Seth talking about how our bodies take care of themselves, something the world of modern medical science is slow to recognize. But there are a few who have caught on. More about that another time. Seth: “Miracles are nature unimpeded.”
Seth talked about side effects from drugs:
“The body knows how to handle 'natural' drugs coming directly from the earth—whether ground or boiled, minced or steamed. A large variety of 'manufactured' drugs offer an unfamiliarity to the body’s innate structure, which can lead to strong defense mechanisms. These are often aimed directly against the drug instead of the disease itself. Such a situation means that you must then use another drug to counteract the one just given.” NOPR § 631 9:37 pm (this said in 1972!)
Then:
“But the spacious mind operates through your creaturehood; in your terms it represents latent abilities of consciousness that can be more or less normal functions.
There are built-in biological structures that are activated for the reception of such messages. They will not be triggered on a personal basis until your own beliefs allow you to perceive the multidimensional layers of your own experience or at least to accept the possibilities.”
and. . .
"Physiologically you carry within yourselves remnants of your evolution,
in your terms—physical vestiges of organs and other attributes long discarded…
In the same way, you also carry within you structures not fully used;
those organizations point—in your terms now—toward future evolution.
Use of the spacious mind involves these." Ibid., 10:45
So, then my mind travels to the thought that maybe this Steiner was right. Pineal gland? What else?
Maybe now we’d be better at operating through the spacious mind if we hadn’t all grown up with vaccinations and Big Pharma. Over the past several years, with the rise in chronic illnesses in children, autism in particular, many people are fighting against mandatory vaccinations. So maybe the time is coming, for subsequent generations, to begin to evolve their consciousness and ability to communicate on a different level than ours. As a wise and beloved friend said to me recently, [The] “Next generation should be more clever than the past.” Evolution of consciousness. Rarely, if ever, the straight and narrow path.
