According to the initiate-research of Rudolf Steiner, humanity is in a
continual process of transformation and evolution. Modern-day
consciousness, based as it is on sense perception and abstract logic,
differs considerably from the consciousness of ancient humanity. At
that time, says Steiner, the human being was seen to be a microcosm, a
concentration of the laws and activities of the cosmos. The loss of
such knowledge today has led to the existential quest for meaning, and
even the cul-de-sac of atheism.
In these comprehensive lectures, delivered to an English audience,
Rudolf Steiner indicates how it is possible for people to rediscover
their connection to the cosmos. He describes how one develops higher
faculties of consciousness - what he calls Imagination, Inspiration
and Intuition - and gives a vivid description of life after death and
the individual's progress through the planetary spheres. It is in
these spheres, he explains, where tasks and goals for future
incarnations are prepared in cooperation with the spiritual beings of
the heavenly hierarchies.
The lectures culminate in a call for mankind to take its own destiny
in hand through conscious and free development of spiritual
capacities.
The edition of this fundamental work features a revised translation as
well as previously-unavailable addresses and question-and-answer
sessions.
