Rudolf Steiner

An accomplished theosophist, Rudolf Steiner draws on the k shic Records - described as a kind of cosmic library encoded on a mental plane - to tell us about events between the origin of the earth and the beginning of recorded history. Steiner briefly describes man's early milestones and then centres on the history and evolution of Earth's third and fourth 'Root-Races, ' the Lemurians and the Atlanteans, portraying their homelands as more than mere Platonic allegories. These "lost" continents actually existed, and their human inhabitants "developed the first concepts of "good" and "evil," manipulated the forces of nature, laid the groundwork of all human legal and ethical systems, and ... brought humankind ... to its highest artistic, intellectual, and spiritual attainments." The current period we are in, the ryan, is that of the fifth Root-Race, with two more to follow. Only then will mankind's odyssey on Earth be completed. Cosmic Memory has powerful appeal, not only as an alternative history of humanity's early development, but as a spur for us to investigate the k shic Records ourselves and so progress our God-given potential.

8 lectures, Oslo and Dornach, May 18 - June 9, 1923 (CW 276)"Having remained stationary, we can no longer see the spiritual in the physical; we consider only the physical as such. This is materialism. A current has entered human evolution that is, if I may use the expression, hostile to development. Humanity shuns the coining of new concepts; it prefers to continue on with the old. We must overcome this hostility toward development. When we instead become friends of development, then we will acquire a quite natural relationship to anthroposophical spiritual development and pass over from antiquated needs to the truly modern need of humanity--namely, to raise ourselves to the spiritual." -- Rudolf Steiner (May 27, 1923)In these inspired lectures from 1923, Rudolf Steiner weaves the different art forms--including painting, architecture, and music--into a grand tapestry of human experience and expression. In the process, he reveals how each artistic medium contains its own mysteries: how architecture arises out of the soul's need to transition from the spatial to the spiritual world after death; how the art of costuming arises out of the soul's pre-earthly experiences in the world of spirit and is thus an expression, in color and form, of the soul's original nature; how sculpture emerges from an inner sense for the creative, formative forces of the etheric body; how painting can overcome spatial perspective through a new relationship to the world of colors, through color perspective; how music can receive a new direction from the depth-dimension of the single tone, which expands into melody and harmony; how poetry can be deepened through an inner grasp of the qualities inherent in recitation and declamation, through creative speech; and how the new art of eurythmy, arising out of the movement activity of the human archetype, stands midway between mime (indicative gesture) and dance (ecstatic gesture) as an art of expressive gesture. Thus, Steiner outlines a path toward the reunion of that ancient trinity: science (truth), art (beauty), and religion (goodness). It was in the womb of the ancient mysteries--where knowledge was not only a matter for the mind but was carried over into religious rites--that the arts had their origin. Today, we learn facts and figures and believe we have understood reality. To an ancient humanity, this intellectual mode of understanding would have seemed lifeless and sterile. In the ancient world, knowledge became lived artistic experience and religious deed. Modern humanity must once again give wings to knowledge, must seek a deepening of the cognitive life through transformative artistic feeling, if we are to find our way out of our world crisis, which is, at its core, a crisis of the soul. This remarkable volume, packed with profound and far-reaching insights, bears within it the seeds for the renewal of the arts in our time. Includes four color plates of Rudolf Steiner's blackboard drawings. This book is a translation of Das K nstlerische in seiner Weltmission, 4th ed. (Rudolf Steiner Verlag, 2002), GA 276.

Written 1912 (CW 40)"You will find meditative verses for the individual weeks of the year. You should take these meditations quite particularly into your hearts, for they contain what can make the soul alive and what really corresponds to a living relationship of the soul forces to the forces of the macrocosm." -- Rudolf SteinerRudolf Steiner's collection of fifty-two meditative verses--presented here in both English and German--were first published in 1925, shortly after Steiner's death. These verses, representing the fifty-two weeks of the year, begin with Easter week and offer thoughts that help one find a deeper relationship with the spiritual forces at work throughout the year. Each verse in this volume appears alongside the corresponding verse for the week that represents a kind of opposite, or "compensating," force during the year. This durable, pocket-size hardcover volume includes a short introduction by Hans Pusch, describing a unique and useful way to approach and use The Calendar of the Soul. The Calendar of the Soul is a translation from German of "Anthroposophischer Seelenkalender," in Wahrspruchworte (GA 40).

10 Lectures in Copenhagen and Norrk ping, May 23-30, 1912, July 12-16, 1914 (CW 155)"Spiritual science does not want to replace Christianity; rather, it aims to be the instrument through which the meaning of Christianity can be grasped. And one thing that will become particularly clear through spiritual science is that the being whom we call Christ must be recognized as the center of life on earth, and that what we call the Christian faith is the ultimate religion, the eternal religion for the future of the earth." -- Rudolf Steiner (July 13, 1914)This collection of lectures from 1912 and 1914 offers a deepened understanding of the being of Christ, the divine Logos, in his connection with individual human souls. From religious figures such as John the Baptist and Saint Francis to the twentieth-century poet Christian Morgenstern, these lectures reveal how Christ works with and through all who seek him. The Pauline statement, "Not I, but Christ in me," becomes an inner guide by which each human soul can find a way to intimate union with the Christ being. It is he who has the power to make our ideals and goals in life--if they are worthy--into true seeds of future reality. The time of faith has come and gone. Christ needs our conscious striving, our effort to understand, within the heart's deep core, his ongoing presence and activity in the further evolution of our spiritual Earth and in our journey toward humanness. These lectures are a comfort and a signpost for the soul to walk the inner path of communion with Christ for the healing and redemption of the earth. We may be able, in the end, to redeem the karma accrued by our own individual souls, but for our spiritual work to be fruitful for all humanity it must be brought into connection with Christ. "What we take into ourselves in such a way that it is done from the perspective of 'Not I'-- this is what Christ makes into a common possession for all humanity" (July 14, 1914)." To know Christ means to undergo the school of selflessness.... Under the influence of materialism, the selflessness of humanity was lost in a way, as will be understood in future ages of humanity. However, through absorption in the Mystery of Golgotha, the penetration of the knowledge of the Mystery of Golgotha with our whole feeling and soul being, we can once again acquire a culture of selflessness. We can come to understand that what Christ did for the development of the Earth is contained in the fundamental impulse of selflessness, and that what he can become for the conscious development of the human soul is the school of selflessness " -- Rudolf Steiner (June 1, 1914)To read these lectures is to strike out on the heart's path of fellowship with the living Christ.
