Let no one be only concerned with his own interests: Let each one strive for the good of the other. – 1 Corinthians 10

It is given to each and every one to make the working of the Spirit apparent in his own way, always in a positive and furthering sense. – Corinthians 12

Let all that is done among you be done in love. – Corinthians 16

From the Letters of Saint Paul[1] 

Dr Rudolf Steiner (1861 -1925), a genius who gave us Waldorf (Steiner) education, new forms of architecture, Biodynamic farming, an extended 4 year course for medical practitioners in understanding medicine from a human perspective, renewal of Christian esoteric tradition et el, with over 6,500 lectures and over 40 books.

He promulgated the concept of the Three-fold social order, as a means for a devastated Europe, after World War 1, to develop a social form of governance that would not result in concentrated power and money in the hands of a few. When this could not be brought about in Germany or Russia, because of unfortunate incidents which stifled the attempt, Steiner resigned himself to commenting that only in 100 years time would it be possible to bring this about again. 

This essay is a cursory introduction from the many lectures, books and work, which Rudolf Steiner devoted to the subject.

After the First World War, Steiner, would work tirelessly to promote the concept, because this would have released the world from the inadequate thinking necessary to prevent that which subsequently emerged, under the power and control of those interests which today have begun their next steps in controlling humankind. 

The French Revolution[2] had as its catch cry the phrase, ‘Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The French revolution however did not fully succeed in realizing those aspirations, they are principles that relate to different human spheres of activity.

Steiner believed that the three spheres of human activity, are:

‘Spiritual/Cultural/Educational’;

Political/Rights; and

Economics.

The principles inherent in these three spheres are;

Freedom, in the Spiritual/Cultural sphere, (we should be free to pursue our spiritual, mind activity, without coercion from external parties);

Equality within the Political and Legal Rights sphere, (we are all equal before the law and in participating in democratic rights)

And importantly, within the Economic sphere, the true concept of Brotherhood, where we work for each other, as the ‘specialisation of labour’ proves, and where one doesn’t need lectures from a pulpit to bring about, a brotherhood of mankind. 

Each sphere to be autonomous, but as in a Venn diagram, intersecting with each other. Economic activity[3] would be based on Associative economics[4] a concept which works at a local level and where work places could be structured along the lines of a ‘Honeybee’ versus ‘Locust’ organisational model.[5]

Professor Avery[6], in researching the subject of organisational practice in Germany, USA and Australia, for more than 20 years, postulated that what she termed the honeybee style of organisation, [always looks after its suppliers and customers, in good times and bad, is people and not profit maximizing oriented] and this can extend to ‘participative style organisations’ where results and outcomes are shared with the work-force, participating in the entity. The Locust style organisations are a scourge on their environment, after maximizing profits, decimating the landscape, they then move on, having fed on and destroyed all about them, as in the example of Al Dunlop,[7] of Sunbeam fame. Avery contends that honey bee organisations do better overall than the locust style, in the longer term. 

The threefold social order, requires a complete rethink of the way society is structured.

When one looks around the world at examples of society, one will be able to see that in those societies where neither one sphere nor the other, dominates, then society as a whole functions best of all.

In the USA, unfortunately the economic sphere dominates, leading to the goal always of more gold, and leading to corruption and power control over political processes in society, for personal advantages by individuals and groups of individuals.

In the old communist Russia, (not the case under Putin’s leadership, being a modern leader of high caliber, contrary to the propaganda of the controlled media in the West), where the Political ideology dominated – 1920’s to 1981, we saw the perversion (and collapse) of the economic sphere and the brutal control of free thinking and religion (not so the case today).

In Iran for example, where a religion dominates, Society again does not function at its fullest potential. People need to be free to exercise expression of religion and thought and not be thought controlled be a myriad of rules. 

If people wish to hear more about the possibility of a three-fold social commonwealth, before it is all too late, and the control of the world is handed to the Globalist elite and the humanity of humankind is driven out through the institution of technocracy as espoused by the WEF and other dominant powerful groupings who seek to conquer the world in their own image, then there is much more that could be said, regarding the will and wishes of our true creators.
