Homework for next week will be to read from Chapter 4: Post-Atlantean Earth Evolution
Please also work through this exercise that Cory suggested people use as a stimulation for thought after reading the Earth evolution section.
Recording from 1/16 is available below:

Hi Cory, Thank you so much for the class last night. WOW.
I was hoping you would be so kind as to recap the direct correlation you were making at the end of the session about what it was Steiner overlooked or potentially brought incorrectly, as well as that piece of natural history that came into modern thinking in 1925, the year Steiner died.
My notes from last night end abruptly right after you said you were going to address the racism controversy in Steiner's work! I just wanted to be totally present and not try to capture any of it. this morning I recapped the class for my husband, Philip, and I think I did a pretty good job. he seemed to follow it, including the major bit on the Cory-Spiritual Science- Recapitulation! But I would appreciate it if you could say those parts again. I will definitely re-watch the class as well.
Thank you again.

Dear Cory,
I would very much like a copy of your research/book on the theme of racism in Steiner's comments. I am interested in learning what I can do to help bring this research into the world.
I don't have your email address - so I hope it is OK to make this request via the comment section.
Thanks so much for making this available.

Okay Laura, You may not need this now if you've gone back and looked at the session again, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try to recap it anyway.
The major overall picture is that Steiner's description of the Earth evolution up to the end of Atlantis I see as a combination of a very long period in which the human being was not incarnated in the physical and therefore lived out their development through the animal kingdom, and then once the ego united with the physical there was a recapitulation of the evolutionary processes.
The first phase we have an Atlantean continent (which geology calls Pangea) residing where the Atlantic Ocean is now. This is the age of dinosaurs. At the end of Atlantis (around 65 million years ago) when the dinosaurs died out (except the ones that became birds) the mammals were the ones that were guided by the Sun Oracle as the ones that were not as specialized. The continents split off of the one Pangea to migrate to their current location. Within the land itself the impulse for ego development lie below ground in the carbon crystalization process that creates daimonds. The recapitulation begins then. The Polerian and Hyperbolean periods see the development of primates. Lemuria begins with the development of Homo sapiens (the beings with the etheric brain matching the physical). During the recapitulated Atlantis there are Homo sapiens living among many different Homo beings. These include: Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Neaderthals and several others. It was (is) the whole Homo sapiens species that is guided by the Sun Oracle, as the other beings died out.
During Steiner's day, the evolutionary picture that existed in natural science was that humans descended from primates in a line. Apes developed into protohumans such as the Neaderthals and eventually developed into humans. It was not recgnized that there were cooexisting at the same time Homo sapiens along with other Homo beings. That is the theory that came out in 1925 when some skeletal remains of non Homo sapiens were descovered living during the same time period as Homo sapiens. Since then many such remains have been found all over the eastern hemisphere.
There's more to it of course, but thatr's a summary. Keep the questions coming.

I would also like a copy of your book, Corey. (compostellafarm@gmail.com). I know that you said you want to wait to publish the book when it is an effort comprised of diverse peoples; however, the work seems so important, it would be great if you could get it out there in small ways to gain interest and to let people know there is another way to understand this. Your work seems of the utmost importance to me. Though I also completely respect your idea for when and how to publish the book. Amazing. Thank you for doing this work!
