Modern science can speak with authority regarding only a tiniest
fraction of the earth's interior. We have, quite literally, scratched
just the surface of our planet. Can we truly know what lies beneath
our feet, in the unimaginably deep depths of the earth? Can the
phenomenon of spiritual investigation add to this question?
In this comprehensive volume, with notes and an introduction, Rudolf
Steiner's utterances on this theme have been brought together for the
first time under one cover. His unique overview gives a picture of the
nine layers of the earth as they become visible via the research of
the spiritual scientist. The layers range from the familiar 'mineral'
on which we live, to the innermost core which Steiner connects to
human and animal powers of reproduction. In between are layers such as
the 'Mirror Earth', which represents qualities of extreme evil, and
the 'Fire Earth', which is connected to natural catastrophes.
The information Steiner conveys is never abstract or theoretical, but
intimately related to the human being. The Fire Earth, for example, is
acutely affected by people's will. When the human will is chaotic and
untutored, says Steiner, it acts magnetically on this layer and
disrupts it, leading to volcanic eruptions. He also describes other
natural catastrophes - such as extreme weather and earthquakes - in
connection to the interior of the earth and karma.
