Scholé News – May 2026
Dear friends of Scholé
The principle of gender is one of the spiritual laws. It states that male (yang, the creative) and female (yin, the receptive) must work together to sustain the cycle of life. Each individual person is a unique mixture of female and male traits and is clearly defined as man or woman only on the physical level.
I consider it a serious crime to encourage young people in puberty to sacrifice their physical sex on the altar of a strange queer fashion, only to spend the rest of their lives as sexless beings with the appearance of the other sex, even though every one of their cells continues to carry the genetic programme with which the person was born.
As if that were not enough, parents who do not agree to the treatment falsely labelled a “sex change” lose custody of their children… It is incomprehensible how such a mental aberration could creep into case law. Who would think of converting positive charges into negative ones and vice versa? Or of calling positively charged particles good and negatively charged ones bad, or vice versa?
The principle of polarity is obviously no longer understood. Polarities are neither interchangeable nor hostile to each other. In their difference they complement each other, like positively and negatively charged particles so that electrical energy can flow, or like the right and left leg when walking.
A man who neglects his female aptitudes feels just as unbalanced and torn as a woman who cannot or may not live out her male aptitudes. In Western culture, the generations before us took a great deal upon themselves to achieve equal rights for the sexes and, in politics, to enable a balance between progressive left-wing currents and conservative right-wing currents. Both are necessary for forming and maintaining a democratic community: the innovators with their ideas for reform and the conservatives who preserve and care for what exists.
How has it come to this, that powerful political actors can claim to want to save democracy by forbidding the democratic balance between right and left? Why should it be immoral to stand up for preserving peace and prosperity and to regard securing the population’s food and energy supply as a priority? How can freedom of expression be saved through censorship and bans on speech?
A return to the spiritual law of polarity seems urgently needed in order to preserve or restore inner and outer peace. By honouring both poles and with the goodwill to let their complementary abilities flourish, people could achieve a common goal that benefits everyone involved.
The deliberately brought-about division of the population already runs so deep at present that, in my conviction, it can only be healed by a higher view of things – or, even more lastingly, through practical examples of connectedness and the integration of apparent opposites, such as can be observed every day wherever men show strength AND gentleness and wherever women exercise sensitivity AND wisdom.
Let us collect such examples and talk about them!
Warmest regards, Alexandra
“Polarities are neither interchangeable nor hostile – in their difference they complement each other and are what makes life possible in the first place.”

2nd edition of “Lernen ist wie Atmen” (Learning is like breathing)

The 2nd edition of our book meets a completely changed readership.
In 2017, the idea that learning outside school was possible at all was considered the eccentric notion of a few outsiders. Since then, all parents, whether they wanted to or not, have had to deal with forms of learning outside school.
The number of children withdrawn from school has exploded since then, and alternative learning projects are springing up like mushrooms.
