Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 12 lectures, Dornach, May 5 - Sept. 23, 1923 (CW 225)What is truly real Rudolf Steiner illumines everyday reality through spiritual knowledge, repeatedly urging us to bring Anthroposophy into daily human existence. We might consciously experience the difference between consuming a potato as compared to cereals such as rye, for example, or perhaps grasp ordinary phenomena, such as sleepwalking, through an understanding of the threefold human being. Likewise, we might strive to comprehend how our head is the transformed organism of our previous life on Earth. Throughout these important lectures, Rudolf Steiner emphasizes the fact that we can achieve spirituality on Earth if we make anthroposophy real.These twelve lectures were delivered during the ominous year of 1923 in the context of increasing attacks from Steiner's opponents. His architectural masterpiece, the first Goetheanum, had been destroyed by fire, and he had yet to reestablish the Anthroposophical Society at the Christmas Conference at the end of the year. It is in such uncertain times that Rudolf Steiner discusses the decline of European culture and the development of materialism as a philosophy, leaving Anthroposophy without an exoteric foundation on which to build. Here, Steiner strikes a positive note and an exciting and constructive path forward, providing us with the tools to see the world through three key perspectives of Anthroposophy: the physical, the soul, and the spiritual dimensions of reality.This previously unpublished volume includes an introduction, notes and index.Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy is a translation from German of Drei Perspektiven der Anthroposophie. Kulturphänomene, geisteswissenschaftlich betrachtet (GA 225).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 11 lectures, Vienna, March 21-31, 1910;1 public lecture, March 19, 1910 (CW 119)'Riddle upon riddle occupies space, riddle upon riddle flows in time;the solution comes only from the spiritthat grasps itselfbeyond the limits of spaceand beyond the flow of time.'--Rudolf Steiner, Vienna, Mar. 19, 1910Rudolf 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 9 lectures, Dornach, Dec. 23, 1923 - Jan. 1, 1924 (CW 233)In this landmark series of lectures, Rudolf Steiner challenges the notion that human consciousness has in essence remained the same throughout history. On the contrary, we can only see the past in its true light when we study the differences in human souls during the various historical eras. Consciousness, he says, evolves constantly and we can only comprehend the present by understanding its origin in the past.Delivered in the evenings during the course of the 'mystery act' of The Christmas Foundation Meeting--when Rudolf Steiner reestablished the Anthroposophical Society and for the first time assumed a formal role within it--these lectures study world history in parallel with the ancient mysteries of initiation, showing how they are intimately linked. Steiner describes consciousness in the ancient East and follows the initiation principle from Babylonia to Greece and its influences on present-day spiritual life. He also discusses Gilgamesh and Eabani, the mysteries of Ephesus and Hibernia, and the occult relationship between the destruction by fire of the Temple of Artemis and the burning of the first Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.Published for the first time with color plates of Steiner's blackboard drawings, the freshly revised text is complemented with an introduction, notes, and appendices by Professor Frederick Amrine, plus an index.This volume is a translation from German of Die Weltgeschichte in anthroposophischer Beleuchtung und als Grundlage der Erkenntnis des Menschengeistes (GA 233). A prevous edition of these lectures was published as World History in the Light of Anthroposophy (1977).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 16 lectures in various places, 5 Jan. 5 - Dec. 26, 1911 (CW 127)'What would we be without love We would inevitably become isolated and gradually lose all connection with our fellow human beings and our fellow creatures in the natural world.' --Rudolf SteinerIn this rich, previously untranslated collection of lectures, Rudolf Steiner approaches and illumines the figure of Christ from manifold directions and perspectives. Christ--the being of love--is the 'heart' of our Earth.These lectures were given throughout 1911, the year before Rudolf Steiner separated from the Theosophical Society, citing fundamental disagreements over the true nature of Christianity. The lectures reflect Steiner's intensifying emphasis on the central act of the Christ being in Earth's evolution, while also illuminating the truths of reincarnation and karma. Here he reveals profound vistas of human development and paths of advancement over many lifetimes in which Christ is to be our steadfast companion and exemplar.The Mission of the New Spirit Revelation is a translation from German of Die Mission der neuen Geistesoffenbarung.
