Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 9 lectures, Dornach, January 19 - February 10, 1924 (CW 234)'The universe needs us because, through us, it 'fulfills' itself--fills itself again and again with its own content. The universe gives its cosmic thoughts to our etheric body and receives them back again in a humanized condition. It receives them back when we die. But it is something new that it receives, for we have experienced it all in a particular way.' -- Rudolf Steiner (Feb. 1, 1924)Although these nine lectures were given to members of the Anthroposophical Society--people who had been studying Anthroposophic spiritual science for many years--this lecture course was nevertheless described by Rudolf Steiner as 'introductory.'Given shortly after the Christmas Foundation Meeting, whereby Rudolf Steiner reestablished and renewed the Society, these lectures reformulate the content of Anthroposophy from a condensed, personal, experiential point of view. What Steiner presented in a descriptive and systematic way in his foundational work Theosophy is complemented here with great intensity. Steiner challenges us to cultivate a living experience of the spiritual nature of the world and ourselves. This volume is therefore an invaluable companion to Steiner's early written work, Theosophy.This volume is a translation from German of Anthroposophie. Eine Zusammenfassung nach einundzwanzig Jahren (volume 234 in the Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe, or Collected Works).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 6 lectures, Torquay, Aug. 12-21, 1924, and London, Aug. 24-27, 1924 (CW 240)During 1924, before his final address in September, Rudolf Steiner delivered more than eighty lectures on karma to members of the Anthroposophical Society. These profoundly esoteric lectures examine the underlying laws of reincarnation and karma, and explore in detail the incarnations of certain named historical figures. In Rudolf Steiner's words, the study of karma is 'a matter of penetrating into the most profound mysteries of existence, for within the sphere of karma and the course it takes lie those processes which are the basis of the other phenomena of world existence.' This eighth volume of the 'Karmic Relationships' series of lectures were delivered during Steiner's final visit to England. In them, he offers insights into subjects such as cosmic Christianity, the Michael impulse, the Arthur and the Grail streams of wisdom, as well as discussions of certain individualities, including Gregory VII, Haeckel, Swedenborg, Loyola, Haroun al Raschid, Byron, Voltaire, and others.This book is a translation from German of 6 lectures (of 15) in Esoterische Betrachtungen karmischer Zusammenhänge, in 6 Bdn., Bd.6 (GA 240).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 17 lectures, Berlin, February 6 - May 8, 1917 (CW 175)'If one is unable to conceive of the Christ mystery as a true reality, one also cannot develop any ideas and concepts relating to the rest of world existence that are imbued with reality, which really penetrate to the truth.' -- Rudolf SteinerIn these lectures, Rudolf Steiner shines fresh light on the historical background and esoteric meaning of what he calls 'the central event of human and earthly history'--the Christ mystery, or the Mystery of Golgotha. Basing his commentaries on personal spiritual research, he emphasizes the key nature of the Mystery of Golgotha, through which 'something was accomplished that has to do not with the moral order alone, but also with the whole world order in its entirety.' This relates to a transformation of the spiritual environment of the Earth and a potentially radical change in human consciousness.Building on the core themes of this course, Steiner presents a variety of fascinating topics, including original sin and the idea of resurrection; faith and knowledge; the nature of sleep and the mystery of fatigue; violation of the mysteries by Roman Emperors; teachings of Mani and Augustine; our relationship to the so-called dead through spiritualistic séances; and the correspondence among the Platonic year, a day in one's life, and a human lifetime.Delivered to audiences a century ago, these lectures have not lost their resonance--indeed, their essential message may be more relevant than ever. They are published here in a new translation and for the first time in a complete English edition.'So let us endeavor to make Spiritual Science our own, not merely as a teaching but as a language, and then wait until we find the questions in this language that we may address to Christ. He will answer--yes, he will answer!'This volume is a translation from German of Bausteine zu einer Erkenntnis des Mysteriums von Golgotha. Kosmische und menschliche Metamorphose (GA 175).…
