  Novalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Novalis’ father, the estate owner and saline manager Heinrich Ulrich Erasmus Freiherr von Hardenberg (1738-1814), was a strictly pietistic man. Due to his experiences in the past, he had become a member of the Morovian (Herrnhuter) sect.
Novalis attended the Luther grammar school in Eisleben, where he acquired skills in rhetoric and ancient literature, which were common parts of the education of this time.
Novalis studied law from 1790 to 1794 at Jena (where he was attended by his former private teacher Christian Daniel Erhard Schmid), Leipzig, and Wittenberg.

 George MacDonald and Novalis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Novalis' Spiritual Songs were revelations of the new religion, of the deification of the universe and his yearning love for eternity.
Novalis exalted the poet as a priest and philosopher, believing that "poetry represents what cannot be represented." There was a relationship between this world and the next which the Enlightenment had missed.
Novalis argued that all the ills of the Enlightenment flowed from the Reformation, the destructive effect of rationalism culminating in "hatred for the Bible, for Christian belief, and finally for Religion itself.

 "He praised the night" - A note on Novalis
Novalis’ night does not have the meaning of forgetfulness, evil or despair, but, like in some passages of the Song of Songs, night denotes a spiritual watchfulness free from all wordly cares and open to the revelation and reception of God’s love.
Novalis' asceticism, ensured by his acceptance of the death of both his wives, is revealed in his work mainly as a careful and compassionate observation of the creation of God and as a faithful will to salvation.
Novalis may sometimes seem to want Him as a source of artistry, but this is not the case.

 What is Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Novalis is a state-of-the-art treatment device for patients undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic radiotherapy, or extremely precise IMRT.
With Novalis, the radiation beams are shaped to match the exact contour of the tumor or lesion so that even tiny, irregularly shaped tumors can be treated very precisely, protecting most of the surrounding, healthy tissue.
Novalis was first implemented for the treatment of brain tumors, where pinpoint precision is required to focus radiation treatment on tumors or lesions close to critical structures within the brain.

 Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery
Novalis uses a neuro-imaging system that pinpoints the precise location and dimensions of a patient's tumor and ensures that daily treatments are delivered accurately.
Novalis, however, "delivers a therapeutic dose of radiation that conforms precisely to the shape of the tumor, thus minimizing the risk to nearby tissues," notes Dr. McAllister.
McAllister believes that Novalis expands the treatment options for patients who could not previously be treated with radiotherapy because their tumors are too close to critical brain structures.

Novalis includes stereotactic instrumentation and 3D planning computer that is coupled with the linear accelerator (LINAC) for focused X-ray irradiation of abnormalities of the brain.
Unlike traditional surgical operations, Novalis is non-invasive and does not use a scalpel, but rather uses an "invisible blade" of radiation, making the procedure bloodless and reducing discomfort and complications of invasive surgery.
Novalis produces a sharp radiation dose gradient at the treatment field edges resulting in a highly effective treatment of the lesion target, while greatly reducing the dose of radiation to the surrounding healthy tissue.

 Novalis [www.progweed.net]
Novalis was, in my opinion, the best of the German symphonic groups, and one that tends to be overlooked from the perspective of contemporary progressive rock collectors.
Unlike countrymen like Eloy and Grobschnitt, Novalis sang in their own language, which is a huge plus as far as atmosphere, as well as eliminating the terrible accents that always sort of held me back from fully enjoying those groups.
Novalis named themselves after the pen name of the German romantic poet Karl Friedrich von Hardenberg and adapted many of his German language poems into their music throughout their career.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Novalis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Born into a family of nobility that could trace its lineage back to ancestors in the 12th century who named themselves de Novali, after their settlement Grossenrode, or magna Novalis, Hardenberg was to employ this designation of “clearer of new land” as his pseudonym and poetic goal.
But because he died so young and so few of his writings and reflections were completed during his lifetime or published in full after his death in 1801, for over a century he remained the stuff of literary legends, a writer whose pseudonym eclipsed the person behind it and skewed the reception of his works.
With the publication of the six-volume Historical-Critical Novalis edition, begun in 1960 and to be completed in 2005, we have come to better understand the man and his works - both in the context of their times and in their capacity to continue to stimulate new generations of readers.

 NOVALIS Novalis reviews and MP3
Novalis, unlike many bands, did not become professionals until 1978 (they had five albums done already) as they became really more and more popular with each new album but also as each one of those became increasingly commercial and less progressive - they say so themselves.
Acting very much as the pre-cursor to this masterpiece, their "second" album simply and yet strangely titled "Novalis" is another excellent album full of classic musicianship carrying a full accomplished sound throughout.
NOVALIS' music is based on long concepts tracks performed in grand lush style with heavy use of organs and mellotrons, strings and bass.

 Southeast introduces Novalis as new way to treat cancer
Novalis may be appropriate for patients with malignant or benign brain tumors, as well as other malignancies such as prostate cancer and cancers of the head and neck.
“The Novalis system is designed to treat small tumors with millimeter precision and accuracy, thus protecting surrounding healthy tissue from radiation and reducing potential damage to delicate structures such as the brain stem or spinal cord,” noted Joseph P. Miller, M.D., medical director of Radiation Oncology at Southeast Missouri Hospital’s Regional Cancer Center.
Southeast’s staff has received extensive training on the Novalis system, much of it under the guidance of Timothy Solberg, Ph.D., who was responsible for installation of the world's first Novalis system at UCLA in 1997.

For Novalis, Maria is a higher being connected to his own soul; she has an uplifting power, a power to transform his soul from above; she is an eternal feminine principle who leads him onward.
Of course the Novalis example is the exception that "proves" the rule - it is one of the few reincarnation cycles he spoke about explicitly already during the time of the mystery dramas, with the lecture cycles on karmic relationships, which marks an explosion in this subject, coming very late.
