Johannes Hohlenberg (May 21, 1881 - 1960) was a Danish painter, writer, anthroposophist and philosopher. He had studied with Zahrtmann and then ran his own academy in Paris from 1906 - 1911. After that he got more and more into esotericism, met Rudolf Steiner, traveled to Egypt and India - and wrote about all these things: Yoga, the secrets of the Cheops Pyramid, Nostradamus, etc.
In the 30s he went into political philosophy and proposed a minimal state with shared economy among people but total artistic and philosophical freedom. In the 40s he wrote two books about Søren Kierkegaard.

Here’s a little curiosity from my beautiful Nietzsche collection: It is a small book called “Nietzsche’s prophetic words about states and people”, edited by Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche - Friedrich’s evil sister. It therefore consists of passages that she believed would “please the man of the party when he finds remarks kindred to his heart”, as she puts it in her creepy preface. In fact, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche was utterly confused by her brother’s works and hired Rudolf Steiner to explain it to her. Steiner very quickly abandoned the attempt, finding it impossible to teach her anything about Philosophy

“Just as in the body, eye and ear develop as organs of perception, as senses for bodily processes, so does a man develop in himself soul and spiritual organs of perception through which the soul and spiritual worlds are opened to him. For those who do not have such higher senses, these worlds are dark and silent, just as the bodily world is dark and silent for a being without eyes and ears.”
― Rudolf Steiner
