Condition: Very Good / boards have minor bumps / DJ is in acceptable condition
A set of 11 lectures highly cherished by students of Anthroposophy, Steiner begs the question, why study the spiritual world at all? And proceeds to lay the hammer down on why we need to as a collective. Discussing topics such as Ahrimanic elemental beings, Solar/Lunar influences on the Initiate, ancient states of consciousness, and the importance of metals and their relation to things such as organ function, meditation, and reproductive forces. A very intriguing title from one of the greatest.
“So when we enter into a mystical understanding of life, of which I spoke in a concrete manner yesterday, we see, not only a coming to birth of the physical and etheric, but also a commencing of death in the astral body and ego. We see death weaving itself into life, a decaying mingling itself with a quickening. And further, when the initiate-consciousness observes the gradual decaying of the body after the thirty-fifth year, he sees at the same time the beginning of a renewal of life in the astral and the ego. Only it is disturbed by the surrounding decadence of the physical and etheric being. Nevertheless, a real renewal does take place. And so, by means of spiritual investigation we can really learn of the presence of death in life, and of life in death. It is by this means that we can prepare ourselves to follow the progress of that which begins to die at the time of birth, follow it backwards into its pre-earthly existence where we find it in all its true significance and greatness. Again, in that we learn to see the gradual revival of the astral and ego within the dying etheric and physical, we can prepare ourselves to follow it into the spiritual world when, passing through the gates of death it leaves the human physical and etheric bodies behind. Thus death and birth draw it together, though to ordinary consciousness they lie far apart. All this, which is revealed by investigation into the spiritual world, can nevertheless, as I explained just now, be grasped by means of the ordinary consciousness of the present day.”
