"Riddle upon riddle occupies space,
riddle upon riddle flows in time;
the solution comes only from the spirit
that grasps itself
beyond the limits of space
and beyond the flow of time."
--Rudolf Steiner, Vienna, Mar. 19, 1910

Rudolf Steiner shows how deeply and intimately human beings, the microcosm, are related to the macrocosm. But for Steiner the macrocosm is more than just the physical universe. It includes many hidden realms--including the world of elements and the world of archetypes--that lie behind outer manifestations such as our physical body. The macrocosm works within us continuously--in the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking and in the great cyclical interchange between incarnation on Earth and our time between death and rebirth.

Steiner discusses various paths of self-development that lead across the threshold to spiritual dimensions, transforming human soul forces into organs of higher perception. In the future, we will even have the capacity to evolve a form of thinking that is higher than the intellect--thinking of the heart.

In this classic series of lectures--now retranslated and featuring a previously unavailable public address--Rudolf Steiner discusses the planets and their connection with our sleeping and waking life; the inner path of the mystic; the "greater" and "lesser" guardians of the threshold; the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris and Isis; initiation in the Northern mysteries; the four spheres of the higher worlds; mirror images of the macrocosm in humankind; the strengthening powers of sleep; the symbol of the Rose Cross; reading the akashic record; four-dimensional space; the development of future human capacities, and much more.

Macrocosm and Microcosm is a translation from German of Makrokosmos und Mikrokosmos. Die große und die kleine Welt. Seelenfragen, Lebensfragen, Geistesfragen (GA 119).

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. Steiner termed his spiritual philosophy anthroposophy, meaning "wisdom of the human being." As an exceptionally developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern, universal "spiritual science" that is accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unbiased thinking. From his spiritual investigations, Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of numerous activities, including education (general and for special needs), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, Christianity, and the arts. There are currently thousands of schools, clinics, farms, and initiatives in other fields that involve practical work based on the principles Steiner developed. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of human beings, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods for personal development. He wrote some thirty books and delivered more than six thousand lectures throughout much of Europe. In 1924, Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches around the world.
