Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the Spiritual in the human being to the Spiritual in the universe.' (From the first 'Leading Thought'.) This key volume contains Rudolf Steiner's so-called 'Leading thoughts' and 'Letters' written for members of the Anthroposophical Society. In brief paragraphs, they succinctly present Rudolf Steiner's science of the spirit, Anthroposophy, as a modern path of knowledge. Invaluable as clear summaries of Rudolf Steiner's fundamental lines of thought, they are intended not as doctrine, but as a stimulus and focus for study and discussion. Their intention, as Rudolf Steiner states, is to contribute to a 'unity and organic wholeness of the work of the Society without there being any question of constraint'
Download or read book Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leading thoughts" and letters for members of the Anthroposophical Society (CW 26) "The leading thoughts here given are meant to open up subjects for study and discussion. Points of contact with them will be found in countless places in the anthroposophic books and lecture courses, so that the subjects thus opened up can be enlarged upon and the discussions in the groups centered around them." -- Rudolf Steiner This key volume contains Rudolf Steiner's "leading thoughts," or guiding principles, and related letters to members of the Anthroposophical Society. Using brief, aphoristic statements, Steiner succinctly presents his spiritual science as a modern path of knowledge, accompanied by "letters" that expand and contextualize the guiding thought. These 185 thoughts constitute invaluable, clear summaries of Steiner's fundamental ideas--indeed, they contain the whole of Anthroposophy. They are intended not as doctrine, but to stimulate and focus one's study and discussion of spiritual science. "Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge to guide the Spiritual in the human being to the Spiritual in the universe.... Anthroposophy communicates knowledge that is gained in a spiritual way.... There are those who believe that with the limits of knowledge derived from sense perception the limits of all insight are given. Yet if they would carefully observe howthey become conscious of these limits, they would find in the very consciousness of the limits the faculties to transcend them." -- Rudolf Steiner This volume is a translation of Anthroposophische Leitsätze, Der Erkenntnisweg der Anthroposophie--Das Michael-Mysterium (GA 26).

Download or read book The Essential Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts written by Rudolf Steiner and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudolf Steiner intended the Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts to serve as a renewal of anthroposophy in light of the Christmas Conference, but also as a condensed recapitulation of what he had earlier given in books and cycles of lectures. In this sense he hoped to focus and unify the work of the society. The Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts are perhaps the single most important text in all of anthroposophy. An austere clarity of style is born of brevity.That brevity is greatest in the 185 numbered aphorisms in which he sought to make an even more condensed recapitulation of anthroposophy. This volume contains the complete sequence. Together, they form a powerful occasion for meditation. Readers should be sure to consult the appendix containing the incomplete, but very fine, mediations on the sequence by Carl Unger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We're trying to get to the castle of the Wise Enchanter,' Michael said. 'It's very difficult." "But you have found your way to the Enchanted Islands," said the hermit. "That is the first step, and that is good. I can't tell you which way to go, since I have no idea. You see, very few people have ever reached the castle itself, and no one has been there since I have been here, but I can tell you one thing...if you keep going straight through the forest, it will end. At the end, there are two paths. One path is the Right Way. The other is the Left Way. One of these paths is the true way, and will take you where you need to go; but you can only know which is which once you have gone along the way of your choice for some time." "What if the Right way is the wrong way, or the Left way is the right way?" Lauren asked. "It sounds confusing." "Yes, yes, of course it does. But once you've done it, everything will be perfectly clear." Words are disappearing from the world. Something is lurking in the deepest waters, devouring all the words that are no longer used. No one has noticed, but the world is slowly growing darker. For many years no children have come to the Enchanted Islands in search of Wisdom, and the Wise Enchanter is growing old. Four children from the corners of the earth have been sent on a quest to rediscover each letter, unlock the treasure of language, and thereby grow wise. Time is running out; if the children do not reach the castle of the Wise Enchanter in time, Wisdom and light may vanish from the world altogether.
Download or read book Occult Science written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1909 (CW 13) An authorized translation of this classic work, re-edited, beautifully typeset and designed, from a professional publisher dedicated to high-quality editions of Rudolf Steiner's books and lectures. The Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is not a theoretical system, but the results of research based on direct observation. As Steiner's research was so vast and conducted over such a long period of time, no single book can be said to contain the whole of his spiritual teaching. However, of all his books Occult Science comes closest. Steiner even referred to it as "an epitome of anthroposophic Spiritual Science." The book systematically presents the fundamental facts concerning the nature and constitution of the human being and, chronologically, the history of the universe and humankind. Whereas the findings of natural science are derived from observations made through the senses, the findings of Spiritual Science, or Anthroposophy, are "occult" inasmuch as they arise from direct observation of realities hidden to ordinary perception. And yet these elements of humanity and the universe form the foundation of the sense world. A substantial part of Occult Science is taken up with a description of the preliminary training needed to make such spiritual observations. Given his energetic involvement in practical initiatives and extensive lecturing, Steiner had little time to write books. Of those he did write, four titles form an indispensable introduction to his later teaching: The Philosophy of Freedom (CW 4); Theosophy (CW 9); Knowledge of the Higher Worlds (CW 10); and Occult Science: An Outline (CW 13). Occult Science: An Outline is a translation from German of Die Geheimwissenschaft im Umriss (GA 13).

Download or read book Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts 7 written by The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seventh and final installment of the Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts, Rudolf Steiner begins by asserting that our sensations are actually part of the world, and that with our thinking, we can grow into the world of the stars. Moreover, we are actually organized by our previous incarnations, and intimations of this arise in the soul as the voice of conscience. The scientific worldview of the present is a continuation of medieval Nominalism; it denies real experience of the spirit in ideas. Finally, technology threatens to drag us down into sub-nature. We must develop supra-natural intuitions that raise us as far above nature as technology threatens to drag us beneath it.

This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fifth installment of Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts, we are given the grandest possible narrative of the gradual and arduous birth of freedom as the fruit of an immensely long evolutionary process. We learn how our own view this process changes, from "heavenly history" to "mythological history" and finally to "earthly history." We learn how the calculable is slowly wrested from the vast, incalculable cosmos as the initially restricted sphere of human freedom. We learn how the foundations of this possibility were laid in the distant past through the activity of numerous Hierarchies. And finally, we learn how Lucifer and Ahriman seek to distort this process. It is a vision that is breathtaking in its scope and profundity.

Download or read book The Sophia Teachings written by Robert A. Powell and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Powell uncovers a secret stream of wisdom that flows through the heart of Christianity --the feminine principle, known in Greek as "Sophia," the being of Holy Wisdom herself. This sacred embodiment, named in the Old Testament as the first living being made by God, has comforted and guided seekers of truth in every age and in every human culture. Powell surveys the wonders and teachings associated with this unacknowledged treasure of Christianity's mystical past --a stream running from the Greek philosophers and King Solomon through the cosmic visions of Hildegard von Bingen, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the relation of Sophia to Mary the mother of Christ. The Sophia Teachings provides accessible and informative insights into the being of Sophia --generally overlooked by modern, patriarchal Christianity and misinterpreted by new age and and other movements that often trivialize the meaning and purpose of this significant cosmic entity.
Download or read book Anthroposophy in Everyday Life written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1995 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four of Rudolf Steiner's best-loved lectures are collected in this book. They are some of the most accessible presentations of the anthroposophic approach to life available in English. Included are: Practical Training in Thought Overcoming Nervousness Facing Karma The Four Temperaments The first lecture concerns the fundamental human activity of thinking. Everything we do, we do through thinking. The first task, then, is to realize the reality of thinking. To help us do this, Steiner gives exercises that will allow us to experience the cognitive, even clairvoyant, power of thinking. In "Overcoming Nervousness," Steiner shows us how exercises in thinking also give us the calm centered sense needed to lead purposeful, healthy lives. "Facing Karma" takes us to the heart of life, where we experience suffering and happiness. The law of karma that determines life's experiences and encounters also helps us develop the self-knowledge required for self-transformation. Finally, "The Four Temperaments" show us how the union of hereditary factors and our own inner spiritual nature shape our psychology. The guide here is the ancient classifications of sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic. Renewed understanding of these allows us to develop a truly modern spiritual psychology, which is the basis of all real inner development. With its many practical exercises, mantras, and meditations, this book is a fundamental introduction for anyone beginning or needing encouragement along the path of inner development.

Download or read book The Spiritual Guidance of the Individual and Humanity written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1992-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirit is very near. Only turn, ask, and listen. When her first book of guidance, Turning, was published anonymously in 1994, many readers responded gratefully to its message. It quickly became one of those "secret" books of consolation that is passed from heart to heart. In Becoming, a treasury of meditations "received in the soul," Claire Blatchford leads us more deeply into a way of spiritual trust and confidence and will be a further source of growth and renewal for many in times of need. Becoming is a wonderful gift for yourself or for a friend in need of inspiration and courage in life.
