Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Triorganic Social Organism: An Exposition of the Embryonal Points of the Social Question in the Life-Necessities of the Present and Future The social life of the present day propounds grave and far - reaching problems. We are faced with de mands for new forms of social Structure. Con fronted by these demands, we become aware that the solution of these problems must be sought along paths that have hitherto not been thought of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOREWORD AS TO THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK The social life of the present day propounds grave and far-reaching problems. We are faced with demands for new forms of social structure. Confronted by these demands, we become aware that the solution of these problems must be sought along paths that have hitherto not been thought of. On the strength of existing facts, perhaps there may today be a chance for him to obtain a hearing, whose experience of life convinces him that the present chaos is due to lack of thought - is due to this very failure to think out roads that have become necessary. The arguments of the following work are based upon such a conviction. Their object is to indicate what must be done in order to turn the demands that are today, put forward by a great portion of mankind toward the direction of a social purpose that is resolute and conscious of its goal. Whether these demands are agreeable to this person or that ought to have but little influence in form- ing such a resolve. These demands exist, and they have to be reckoned with as facts of social life. This must be remembered by those who, because of their personal position in life, may be inclined to be displeased with the way in which the writer speaks when dealing with the demands of the working class; because, from their point of view, he lays too exclusive an emphasis on these demands as something to be taken into account in forming a social purpose. But the writer is talking of the life around us today in all its actuality, in so far as his experience of it enables him to speak. He sees clearly the terrible consequences that must ensue if people persist in ignoring those undeniable facts which have actually arisen out of the life of modern humanity, and if they accordingly will have nothing to do with a social purpose which recognizes these facts. Those persons who regard themselves as experts in practical life - or what, under the influence of fond habit, has come to be considered as practical life, will also, at first reading, be dissatisfied with the author's remarks. They will opine that these pages are not written by a practical person. These are just the people who, in the author's opinion, will radically have to change their ideas. For it seems to him that their practice of life is the very thing which has been shown to be a mistake by the facts which mankind has been forced to experience in our time. Their co-called practice is proven by the facts of life to be the very mistake which has led to such boundlessly disastrous consequences. They will have to recognize that many things must be accepted as practical which to them seem impossible idealism. They may think that the basis of this book is wrong because a good deal is said in its first pages about spiritual and mental life of modern mankind, and not so much about the economic life. The author's experience, however, forces him to hold that the old blunders will only be succeeded by endless new ones unless people make up their minds to pay proper attention to what is going on in the minds and spirits of the men of today. Neither will what the writer says in this book find much favor with those who, under various forms, keep on reiterating the old phrases, that men must rise above their devotion to merely material interests, and turn to ideals and to the things of the spirit. For the author does not attach much value to mere talk about the spirit, to speeches about a vague spiritual world. The only kind of spirituality which he is able to recognize is that which forms the content of the actual life of men, and which shows itself no less active in mastering the practical tasks of life than in constructing a philosophy of the universe and of existence capable of satisfying the needs of the soul....

Download or read book Cosmic Memory written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1987-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written 1904-1908 (CW 11) "Rudolf Steiner shows that the insoluble link between humanity and cosmos is the fundamental basis of evolution. As human beings have participated in the development of the world we know today, so their achievements are directly connected with the ultimate destiny of the universe. In human hands rests the freedom to shape the future course of creation. Knowledge of our exalted origins and of the path we have followed is indispensable if we are to evolve a future worthy of responsible human beings.... Through a study of Steiner's writings, one can come to a clear, reasonable, comprehensive understanding of human beings and their place in the universe." --Paul Marshall Allen In the best tradition of ancient wisdom literature, Cosmic Memory reconstructs, from the akashic record, events that span the time between the origin of the Earth and the beginning of recorded history. This spiritual research includes a profound investigation of the origins, achievements, and fate of the Atlanteans and Lemurians --the remarkable "lost" root races that developed the first concepts of "good" and "evil," manipulated natural forces, laid the foundation for human legal and ethical systems, and defined and nurtured the distinctive yet complementary powers of men and women that brought humankind, many centuries ago, to its highest artistic, intellectual, and spiritual attainments. Through this discussion of our true origins, Cosmic Memory offers a genuine foundation for our lives, allowing us to realize our real value, dignity, and essence. The reader is shown our human connection with the world around us as well as our highest goals and true destiny. This is a key volume for understanding Rudolf Steiner's early development as a Theosophist and how his ideas, terminology, and formulations during that time fit into the development of his anthroposophic epistemology and Christology. This volume is a translation of Aus der Akasha-Chronik (Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe 11), Rudolf Steiner Verlag, 1986.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected from material given by Rudolf Steiner to members of his Esoteric School (1904-14), this volume features exercises, meditations and practices for spiritual self-development. In contrast to oriental methods of spiritual training, they derive from the western, Rosicrucian stream and are fully adapted to modern consciousness.Various exercises are given - for morning and evening, for the days of the week and the months of the year. In addition, there is much explanatory material to deepen and enhance meditative work, including several articles on the path of inner development and the obstacles to be faced on the way to attaining true consciousness of the self.This enlarged edition contains further clarification of the exercises, descriptions of the future evolution of the world and humanity, plus later advice given by Steiner on the nature of breathing exercises and ancient and modern methods of initiation.
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 226 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 An Outline of Occult Science written by Rudolf Steiner and published by [Chicago] : Anthroposophical Literature Concern. This book was released on 1922 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Outline of Occult Science is Rudolf Steiner's thesis discussing the unknown, the nature of mankind, and his belief that science may be used to explain the unusual phenomena known as the occult. First published in 1910, this book strives to define, categorize and explain various manifestations of the occult. The author concedes at the opening of the book that many otherwise open-minded and receptive individuals immediately recoil from the concept of the the unknown, especially in relation to attempts to investigate it scientifically. After introducing the occult, Steiner delves into explaining the two worlds he thought comprised the reality we live in. The natural world, that which is visible and readily perceivable around us, and the spiritual world, where the unexplained phenomena arise. The nature of man as a bodily being, and how his physical self bridges the gap between these two worlds, is much detailed. Famous as a literary critic, Rudolf Steiner's interest in the occult phenomena meant that much of his later life was characterized by research into spiritual texts. He passionately believed that much of the strange, paranormal or occult phenomena human beings have observed have a spiritual yet scientific explanation: it is with this essential belief in mind that Steiner attempts to persuade the reader. Although unusual in subject matter, An Outline of Occult Science is written in an accessible style. What would otherwise be dry and inscrutable is made interesting and exotic by Steiner, who was used to writing for a popular audience in his career as a literary critic. This edition of his book contains all of his original notes, which are appended at the conclusion for ease of reference.
