1. Carl Huter - biographical information
- Carl Huter was born in Heinde near Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, in 1861 and died in Dresden, Saxony, in 1912. Carl Huter had two younger sisters. His father died in March 1868. In the fall he came, now a first-grader, to childless adoptive parents who ran a small farm in Ödelum, 20 km from Heinde.
- From the ages of five and six, boys exhibited characteristics that indicated an excellent mental disposition, including
- an excellent memory;
- the ability to observe people closely and characterize them appropriately. - He recognized, for example, that most people could be classified into a system of three groups in terms of their character and physique. Through years of research, Huter's psycho-physiognomics developed from this. He conducted this research part-time and it was only completed in 1899.
- a strong sense of justice and truth;
- the tendency to deal with serious problems. - The school recognized the extraordinary disposition and soon Carl Huter received special support, first from his teacher and later from the pastor. They gave him extra lessons and got him a specialist and manuals for self-study. Neither the foster parents nor the mother supported the son's desire to go to secondary school. In Hildesheim he was trained as a portrait painter, decorator and porcelain painter in a three and a half year apprenticeship.
- After that, Carl Huter worked as a portrait painter. Through self-study and private lessons, he acquired a good knowledge of medicine, natural science, art history, philosophy and spiritualism in Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. His excellent mental disposition made it possible to achieve a high level of competence in many areas in a short time.
- Between 1884 and 1893 he worked in the Hanover region as a portrait painter and at the same time for his apprenticeship:
- He gave lectures and courses;
- He advised people, often also sick people;
– He worked as a nature researcher and philosopher. - In 1889, at dusk, he discovered a faint whitish-yellow light emanating from his body, namely his head and his hands. It was not until 1899, ten years later, that he fully explored this influence. He called it the Helioda radiation, or Helioda for short. A sore throat that kept him out of work between 1889 and 1892 contributed to the development of his own healing system.
- In 1893, he abandoned the profession of portrait painter and worked only for his apprenticeship: teaching, expertise and research. Also patients, whom conventional medicine could no longer help, turned to him. Often their condition has improved considerably in a very short time thanks to his knowledge of life and his ability to recognize people correctly.
- In mid-1894, he took over the management of a spa resort in Hanover. In cooperation with doctors, he was able to apply his healing system and gain practical experience.
- In mid-1895, he gave up this activity after only one year. He saw his life's task in the creation and dissemination of a new teaching on the world and on man.
- In January 1896 he married Henriette Pieper (called Henny), in September the first child was born, and in 1897 he moved to Detmold. From there he moved to Leipzig in 1909, during which time the family remained in Detmold.
- From 1898 to 1912 he spread his teachings in words and in writing with great personal commitment. - More information in section 3 below.
- Carl Huter made many discoveries, some of great importance. His discoveries are often based entirely on observation and experience. Carl Huter's options were limited because he had created his life's work all by himself, with no financial backing and no scientific assistants. He was aware that he had only little proven, studied and described his discovery. - Further information in section 2 below.
- Carl Huter has trained several talented people in courses lasting several weeks so that they can then practice their craft for the practical application of Huter's psycho-physiognomics and / or for the practical application of sensory energy.
2. The teachings of Carl Huter
Further details in chapters 3 to 10
Huter's teachings are easier to understand if they are divided into four parts:
2.1 Discoveries and findings about the inanimate and the animate world
Huter has created a theory of development about the inanimate and the animate world:
- It is based on the assumption that the sensory element is a basic element of our world and Carl Huter has thus arrived at new explanations.
(1) Huter is convinced that this assumption is correct.
(2) The previous scientific findings about the origin of living beings and their higher development - chance, adaptation, selection - remain valid, but must be supplemented with the effects that emanate from the sensory element.
In a few sentences
- In inorganic matter, the sensory element is present in a "bound form", i.e. strongly bound to matter. Huter says that the sensory element is in a "dormant state".
- The sensory element is somewhat less strongly bound in protein molecules.
- When the living cell, which consists largely of proteins, was created, the sensory element built its own organ, the centrosome. From here, the sensory element in the living cell is active in an organizing and creative way!
a. This explains the ability of the cell and the organism to adapt to the surrounding conditions. Higher development is also based to a large extent on the effects that have been initiated by the sensory element and accompanied in an organizing and creative way.
b. Helioda radiation is created in the centrosome. In certain situations, it can be perceived by the human eye as a very weak light.
c. The sensory element is bound to a fine material carrier material. This carrier material can be described as the "soul". It cannot be proven using scientific methods, or can only be proven with great difficulty. - The sensory element has accumulated and concentrated in the cells of plants, animals and humans over the course of evolution. In humans, the sensory element is significantly stronger than in other intelligent creatures.
- The sensory element creates the consciousness of creatures, as well as conscience. In humans, these properties are far more pronounced than in other intelligent creatures.
- When a single living cell dies, or when a plant, animal or human dies, the fine material substance splits off from the chemical substance. A dissolution process often then begins. In humans, this fine material substance is so concentrated that it is almost indissoluble. This explains the possibility of survival in the subtle world beyond.
Helioda: additional information
- The discovery of Helioda is considered the greatest discovery of the 19th century - by Huter himself and by people who know this discovery better and are able to give an assessment of it due to their education.
- Helioda contributes significantly to the formation of the periphery, especially in humans - and in every human being according to the same principles. This explains why reliable conclusions about body, soul, mind and health can be drawn from the face and the rest of the head.
2.2 Huter's psycho-physiognomy -
a practical, scientific psychology
Discoveries and findings
about how the Helioda radiation discovered by him, as well as forces and substances, some of which were discovered by him, have a characteristic form-forming effect, in such a way that conclusions can be drawn about the characteristics of humans or living beings:
a. in particular from the face, the rest of the head, the neck and the body structure
b. in relation to body, soul, mind and health.
for the way an individual lives based on their individual disposition, e.g. body type, temperament, gender, health disposition.
The nature types ("Naturell-Typen") -
an important discovery by Carl Huter for practical knowledge of human nature
- People can be classified according to their body type.
- Examples: Sensitive nature, movement nature or sensation-movement nature.
- The existence of body types can be explained by the three germ layers, which were discovered around 1830 and have since been thoroughly researched.
a. In the embryonic phase of humans, in the 4th to 8th week of life, the fertilized egg consists of three germ layers.
b. The three most important body systems emerge from this: the nutritional system, the movement system and the sensory system.
c. In humans, the development of these body systems varies from individual to individual. - Therefore, every person's body type is different.
- The body type has a corresponding effect on the basic character of the person, in such a way that it should always be taken into account in the life of the person: in education, in the choice of lifestyle, in the choice of partner, in professional situations, in the treatment of illnesses, etc.
2.3 The Huter healing method
called by Huter "the new healing method" and "kallisophical healing method".
It is based
- on Huter's discoveries and findings about the biological cell, Helioda radiation and the life force.
Huter's psycho-physiognomy is an important tool in this:
a. to make the diagnosis;
b. to determine progress and success;
c. to choose the optimal therapy based on the individual disposition and current state of the person in question.
With his knowledge and skills, Huter was able to achieve a significant improvement or even a cure even in seriously and terminally ill people. He documented and published around 10 cases with pictures.
2.4 Orientation points for the individual and for people living together
Recommendations and findings on
- Health and medicine;
- Upbringing, school and education;
- Marriage and family;
- Equality between men and women. Women should have the same rights and opportunities as men in all areas of life, namely in school, at work and in state matters.
- Social security;
- Economic freedom and its limits; Relationship between labor and capital; Economic ethics;
- Political rights of citizens, state organization;
- Customs, ethics, worldview and religion.
2.5 Note
1. The term Huterian science refers to the scientific part of Huterian teachings: Huterian psycho-physiognomy and Huterian teachings about the animate and inanimate world. See the above points 2.1 to 2.3.
2. The term Huterian teachings refers to all of Huter's teachings, including Huterian science. See the above points 2.1 to 2.4.
3. What is the fundamental idea in Huterian science, the science about our world and us humans? - Carl Huter gives the following answer in the brochure "Catechism of Huterian Science", 1909, point 43:
- "The knowledge that all things have an animate nature,
- and that this animate nature is revealed in the outside of things."
3. Spreading the teachings in word and writing
- Carl Huter goes on lecture tours that take him to many German cities, including
a. in the south and west to Würzburg, Munich, Stuttgart, Konstanz, Freiburg, Strasbourg, Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Wiesbaden, Cologne and Düsseldorf, and
b. in the north and east to Bremen, Hamburg, Hanover, Kiel, Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz and Breslau. - The lectures and the practical application of his professional skills lead to more than 300 lecture reports in German daily newspapers and to more than 100 letters of recognition, some from respected people.
- Thousands of men and women listen to him with interest. He proves the correctness of his teachings through subsequent experiments and through assessments by people present who are unknown to him. This always evokes gratitude, amazement and admiration.
- Carl Huter wrote over 30 books and brochures, many of which he published. The total circulation of his works was several tens of thousands.
- Carl Huter published the magazine "Hochwart". It appeared from October 1899 until the end of 1910.
- Carl Huter heads the Huter Association, founded in 1901 and extisting until his death. By 1906 there were around 20 local associations with around 700 members.
- Carl Huter runs
1. a publishing company (in Detmold, from 1909 in Leipzig) and
2. three scientific institutes (from 1909, in Leipzig):
a. Free German University;
b. Psychological Museum, called the "Carl Huter Museum";
c. Psychological Research Institute. - Carl Huter trains male and female people who spread his teachings as their main job as lecturers and apply them as consultants, a total of around 10 people. The training takes place in monthly and private courses and with final examinations.
- Carl Huter is supported in his activities by male and female employees.
- Together with his wife Henny Huter-Pieper, Huter runs a spa in Detmold. Carl Huter makes the diagnosis, gives treatment instructions and trains the employees.
