"For men must have something else as their aim if this knowledge is to come to them. These forms of knowlege may be bestowed upon makind only if, simultaneously with a developmendt towards them, there comes into being as widely as possible...an entirely selfless social order. No rythmical technics can be introduced without causing harm to makind, unless at the same time a selfless social order is striven after; to an egoistic society they would bring only hurt." (Three Streams in the Evolution of Mankind, pg. 99-101)
The fundamental condition for the achievement of an "entirely selfless social order" such as Dr. Steiner is referring to, depends on mankind realizing that: the blood is living, and that:"the heart is not a pump", which is evident from embryology. Through this understanding will arise the awakening of the heart as an organ of cognition , and the faculty of "moral imagination". The ground work for this understanding has been achieved in more recent years by Ralph Marinelli.
In 1982 dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer's Heart Lectures, were published, in these lectures it was emphasized how critical Dr.Steiner thought the overcoming of the "heart as a pump" concept was toward overcoming science's overly materialistic-mechanistic views of man and nature. That this significance extended even into the social sphere is shown by Steiner's statement that "when science overcomes the "heart is a pump concept social conditions will improve"
The Heart is Not a Pump, it is a Vortex Momentum Booster
Early in this century the Austian scientist, Dr. Rudolf steiner said that "the heart is not a pump" and that this could be seen by observing the blood flowing in an embryo. Ralph Marinelli, founder of the Rudolf Steiner Research Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, has through his researches over the last fifteen years proven the indisputable scientific truth of this statement by Steiner. Marinelli has further shown that rather than being a pump, the heart is a vortex momentum-booster, which functions by the high velocity turning movement that is performed by the seven-layered heart muscles. The spiral-formed gesture of the heartbeat happens in such a way that it imparts a dynamic vortex to the blood. This cortexing of the blood in the heart is complete with the hollow vacuum center, which is a necessary condition for all true free-flowing vortexes.
For over 250 years Medical sCience has held the concept that the heart is a "pressure pump". Stephen Hales in 1733 inserted a single tube manometer into the cartoid artery of a horse, to measure the force of the blood, which was mistakenly assumed to be pressure instead of the impulse from momentum driven blood. Scientists have long since focused on pressure as the motive force of the blood. Belief in this theory has continued to the present day, despite the fact that recent developments in medical technology have provided data that completely undermines this theory. How is it that one of the cornerstones of modern science can be so unscientific that it is based on jumping to conclusions from limited observations and not on comprehensive observations and not on comprehensive observation of phenomena according to the scientific method? Perhaps it is a symptom of the nervous impatience of our time.*
