Overview

At the onset of the Industrial Revolution, despite all the grotesque and evil attempts to suppress it, a bright star shone out in Central Europe, a sort of counter-force to the materialism increasingly dominating people's outlooks. Kaspar's political destiny may have been brutally suppressed but the essential human/divine spirit so clearly witnessed by Pastor Fuhrmann has continued to shine ever since despite all attempts to defame it. In this sense, the tragedy enacted around this individual and the 'unrealized history' that can be traced through the succeeding centuries down to the present, if recognized from a spiritual point of view, transforms into a seed containing the fullness of our potential human future along with the clearest indications of the forces opposing that future. As Karl Heyer concludes in his seminal study of Kaspar Hauser, it is this 'future promise that we must focus on'. 'There gleam like stars In the heaven of eternal being The God-sent Spirits. May all human souls In earthly evolution Glimpse their flame of light.' Rudolf Steiner
