Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 7 lectures, various cities, April 17 - May 26, 1914 (CW 154)'To perceive the etheric world, we must become much more active, work much harder than we do in ordinary life. After death, too, the soul must be filled with much more active strength than in ordinary life to relate to its environment. Otherwise, we do not perceive the etheric world, just as we wouldn't perceive anything if we lacked all senses in the physical world. Thus, we need a more active strength of soul to find our way after death and not to be deaf and blind, figuratively speaking, to the world we enter then.' -- Rudolf Steiner (Apr. 18, 1914)What is the relationship between those who have died and those who remain alive on Earth Can we help those now in the spiritual world Can they help us In these talks, Rudolf Steiner deals with the spiritual relationships that the living can have with those who have crossed over the threshold between life and death. In a realistic, practical way, he shows how an understanding of our spiritual nature reveals ways of knowing a world undreamed of by materialists.The tone of these talks is warm and moving, clearly drawn from Steiner's own experience and the lives of those who had died and who were personally known to him--Robert Hamerling, Christian Morgenstern, and others. This important work is for those who are coming to terms with the death of a love one.This book is a translation from German of Wie erwirbt man sich Verständnis für die geistige Welt Das Einfließen geistiger Impulse aus der Welt der Verstorbenen (GA 154).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 7 lectures in Berlin, June 6 - July 18, 1916 (CW 169)Given in 1916, when Europe was in the throes of World War I, these seven lectures present Rudolf Steiner's trenchant analysis of the malaise of our time. With wit and compassion, he vividly confronts us with the dead end to which materialism has brought modern civilization.Starting with a new look at the festival of Pentecost, Steiner shows how the chaos of his time--and our own--can be transcended through a shift or transformation of our consciousness. Ranging over a wide range of topics, Steiner moves from a description of balance in life to a discussion of the twelve senses and their relationship to the cosmos, psychology, and art. In the process, he reveals the central importance of the development of Imagination. This volume is a translation from German of Weltwesen und Ichheit (GA 169).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 9 lectures, Dornach, February 1923 (CW 221)There is a great difference between the meaning of 'know yourself' in the ancient mystery centers and its meaning today. In ancient times, one tried to achieve after death what one can now attain during earthly life. In order to reach higher stages of development after we die, we must become fully human during life on Earth. Such matters have changed over millennia of human and earthly evolution.At the center of the evolution human consciousness is the Christ event. Today, we must experience the Christ within ourselves as light, life, and love. By adopting the appropriate path of knowledge, we can become citizens of the universe rather than 'hermits' on the Earth.These lectures are crucial reading for a deeper understanding of the anthroposophic view of our place as human beings in the cosmos.This volume is a translation of Erdenwissen und Himmelserkenntnis (GA 221).…
