'Logic': post-mortem messages of H. von Moltke

Rudolf Steiner received post-mortem messages of anthroposophist Helmuth von Moltke who died 1916. These messages were addressed to his woman Eliza. RS wrote them down as letters. These messages are a rich fountain to understand what an anthroposophic soul after death experiences in its work with the beloved on earth as well as with unincarnated souls.

A central point Moltke informs about is Logic:
Truthful, scholastic Logic - which is not a product of Ahriman-Lucifer but the way of thinking introduced by Aristotle - is for the present ageant the adequate, safest entrance into the objective spiritual reality. I suppose a connection with the 1000 years of "sleeping consciousness" which had overcome the Middle-European humankind from the 9th until the 20th century by the spiritless dogmas of catholic church since 869 when the spirit was officially abolished at the Fourth Council of Constantinople. First this lack has to be catched up to achieve finally "living out of the Consciousness Soul" - RS defined Anthroposophy itself as a living out of the Consciousness Soul.

Helmuth von Moltke mentions the Golden Rule about decisions: follow Logic, your logical mind! If you are unsure about how to act or think be patient! Don't choose immediately what you guess to be right. Take some time to find out on which side are the heavier reasons and never simply choose what is more pleasant. Consider the consequences!

Michael, the current ruler of humankind (1879-2300) and leader of Archangels, will never donate any spiritual, wise insights - each insight has to be worked for. How hard this work actually is? I guess this is individual karma.
