				APPROACHES TO ANTHROPOSOPHY





				ATLANTIS The Fate of a Lost Land and its Secret Knowledge The wisdom contained in this book is not derived via the usual methods of scholarly and historical research, and neither is it based on theory or speculation. Rudolf Steiner acquired his original contribution to human knowledge from metaphysical dimensions of reality which are hidden to most people - but visible to anybody who is prepared to develop spiritual means of perception.





				AWARENESS - LIFE - FORM Basic Principles of Spiritual-Scientific Cosmology As a planned follow-up to Theosophy Rudolf Steiner wrote a new text on the topic of cosmic evolution based on 'categories'. He spoke of this as the alphabet of the cosmic script to enable people to read the great 'book of nature'. It was, he said, was one of the most important impulses for the new Michael Age that began in 1879.

				COSMOSOPHY Volume Two These lectures comprise volume two of the Cosmosophy lecture course and the eighth volume in a series of lecture courses Rudolf Steiner gave under the general title 'Man and his Relationship to the Cosmos' for members of the Anthroposophical Society in 1920 and 1921.

				EARTHLY KNOWLEDGE AND HEAVENLY WISDOM Paperback





				EARTHLY KNOWLEDGE AND HEAVENLY WISDOM Hardback





				EFFECTS OF ESOTERIC DEVELOPMENT Beginning with questions regarding the body's experience of food and drink - meat, coffee, alcohol - Steiner lays out the progression of anthroposophic spiritual inner work, up to direct perception of 'Paradise' and the Holy Grail. He discusses the role of human beings in our evolution that takes place between the forces of Lucifer and Ahriman.





				AN ESOTERIC COSMOLOGY Evolution, Christ and Modern Spirituality “In the Paris lecture series, I presented the meaning of a spiritual perception that had gradually 'matured' over a long period of time within me. I explained the general relationship among the aspects of the human being - the physical and etheric organizations as the media for manifesting life; the astral body as the medium for manifesting feeling and volition; and the vehicle of the 'I'. Then I added that the ether body of a man is feminine and that a woman's ether body is masculine. Thus, Anthroposophy illuminated a fundamental question of existence that was often discussed at the time..."





				ESOTERIC LESSONS 1904 - 1909 VOL 1 Only recently has it become clear that on most occasions Rudolf Steiner would visit a city to give a lecture, either to members or to the general public, and also hold a meeting of the Esoteric Section where he also gave a talk. These talks were intended to provide his most advanced students with the esoteric background of his ongoing spiritual research.





				EVIL Selected Lectures Despite the fact that evil is an omnipresent theme of our age, it remains one of the most problematic. Public references to it are continually made, but to what extent has society truly begun to understand its riddle?





				FOUNDING A SCIENCE OF THE SPIRIT 14 lectures by Rudolf Steiner Previously published as At the Gates of Spiritual Science, these lectures offer a fine introduction to the whole of Rudolf Steiner's teaching, as well as including valuable material which is not to be found elsewhere. With great clarity and precision, Steiner speaks of the fundamental nature of the human being in relation to the cosmos, the evolution of the Earth, the journey of the soul after death, reincarnation and karma, good and evil, the modern path of meditative training, as well as giving answers to individual questions.

				HARMONY OF THE CREATIVE WORD The Human Being and the Elemental, Animal, Plant and Mineral Kingdoms In one of his most popular lecture courses - formerly published as Man as Symphony of the Creative Word - Rudolf Steiner presents an extraordinary panorama of spiritual knowledge centring on the human being. We are the harmony of creation - a microcosm - containing within us 'all the laws and secrets of the world'.





				THE HOLY GRAIL The Quest for the Renewal of the Mysteries From the Mysteries to Christianity; Death and Resurrection in Ancient Egypt - the Miracle of Initiation; The Mystery of Golgotha; The Mystery of the Higher Ego - the Holy Grail; The Grail and the Spiritual Evolution of Humanity; The Gnostic Crisis and the Loss of the Mysteries; Stages of Evolution - Archaic Clairvoyance; The Role of the Mysteries; The Secret of Evolution - the Holy Grail.





				INNER READING AND INNER HEARING Achieving Being in the World of Ideas These two lecture courses, given just after the beginning of World War I, stand as a kind of unexpected gift. A few months later, once the war became a reality, the possibilities for esoteric work would change and it would become more difficult to do spiritual research. But in the short interval before the true horror of the conflict unfolded, Rudolf Steiner - almost by the way - was able to give these lectures, which lay out in the clearest fashion the path of anthroposophic meditation, and its assumptions, language, and consequences.





				THE INTERIOR OF THE EARTH An Esoteric Study of the Subterranean Spheres 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?





				THE KARMA OF ANTHROPOSOPHY Rudolf Steiner, the Anthroposophical Society and the tasks of its members 'If such authentic souls, such honest anthroposophists can be found ... then an upward movement and dynamic will arise. If such souls do not appear, then decadence will take its inexorable downward course... Today humanity stands before a great crisis: either it will see all civilization collapsing into the abyss, or else spirituality will raise civilization up by the power of the Michael impetus, through which the Christ impetus works, thus continuing, enriching and sustaining it.'





				THE KARMA OF MATERIALISM Paperback





				THE KARMA OF MATERIALISM Hardback





				THE KARMA OF VOCATION Steiner takes us behind the scenes of routine activities, showing how the combined vocational work of all humanity affects the higher suprasensory realms. This activity mobilizes forces that lead to future worlds, which is the 'karma of vocation'. No human work is insignificant; it all contributes to grand cosmic processes.





				LEARNING TO SEE INTO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD Lectures to the Workers at the Goetheanum In these lectures - also published in From Mammoths to Mediums - Steiner covers a wide range of topics, from the development of independent thinking and the ability to think backward, to the uses of what seems boring and the reversal of thinking between the physical and spiritual worlds.





				LOVE AND IT'S MEANING IN THE WORLD This collection brings together all of Steiner's main lectures and writings relating to love. It spans earthly love to the nature and function of spiritual love. Topics include: The Division of the Sexes; The Mission of Reverence; The Teaching of Compassion and Love; Wonder, Compassion, and Conscience; Faith, Love and Hope; as well as the title lecture.





				MAN AS A PICTURE OF THE LIVING SPIRIT





				MATERIALISM AND THE TASK OF ANTHROPOSOPHY In this history of human consciousness, Steiner explains that the world ended in A.D. 300, when it became impossible to find spirit in nature. Since then, we have been living in an increasingly spiritual world on a disintegrating, dying Earth. Although people have been asleep to the spiritual reality that surrounds us, Steiner shows a way out of today’s blind materialism that takes us toward a new spiritual perception and knowledge, which is the only way that we will find the Christ in our time.





				THE MEANING OF LIFE and other Lectures on Fundamental Issues What is the meaning of life? This most fundamental of all questions has challenged human beings for millennia. Rudolf Steiner addresses the eternal enigma with a refreshing directness, giving profound and enlightening answers.





				THE MISSION OF THE FOLK-SOULS in relation to Teutonic Mythology 'If we wish to understand the inner life of an individual we must study the soul as well as the body, and if we desire to gain real insight into national characteristics we must explore the psychic and spiritual element underlying them. This psychic and spiritual element, however, reflects not merely the activity of individual human souls working in concert, but has its origin in a higher order... Either one must seek a basis for the psychology of peoples in a spiritual reality or one must abandon such a psychology in total.' - Rudolf Steiner (from the Preface)





				THE MYSTERIES OF THE HOLY GRAIL From Arthur and Parzival to Modern Initiation From the ancient British tales of King Arthur and his knights through the medieval Central European sagas of Parzival, right up to modern-day blockbuster novels and films, the Grail has long maintained its enigmatic presence in western culture. It is said to be many things: a lost and priceless treasure, the chalice cup of the Last Supper, the cup that caught Jesus Christ's blood from the cross on Golgotha, or even a secret royal bloodline...





				MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSE The Human Being, Model of Creation The ancient mystery saying called on the human being to 'Know Yourself!' Rudolf Steiner explains that this maxim is not asking us to study subjectively our own personal character, but rather to come to a knowledge of our true, archetypal human nature - and with it the position we occupy in the universe.





				MYSTICS AFTER MODERNISM Discovering the Seeds of a New Science in the Renaissance Discovering the Seeds of a New Science in the Renaissance





				OCCULT MOVEMENTS IN THE 19TH CENTURY Steiner gives a detailed account of the activity of occult groups working behind the scenes in the 19th century.





				ORIGINAL IMPULSES FOR THE SCIENCE OF THE SPIRIT Christian Esotericism in the Light of New Spiritual Insights In this previously untranslated volume, Steiner covers a wide range of subjects, from health and education, volcanic eruptions (in response to an eruption of Vesuvius at the time), planetary evolution, the Rosicrucian way of initiation, the modern science of the spirit, the Lord's Prayer, the blood that flowed on Golgotha, and karmic law.





				THE PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUAL ECONOMY





				ROSICRUCIAN WISDOM An Introduction The work of Rudolf Steiner is unique in the way it combines esoteric teaching with practical suggestions for the development of social life. Indeed, Steiner is best known today for the application of his ideas in areas such as education, medicine and agriculture. But none of this could have developed without the coherent and profound body of spiritual knowledge which stands at the very core of Steiner's work.





				ROSICRUCIAN WISDOM AUDIO BOOK An Introduction Audio Book, complete and unabridged version (7 CD set) read by Peter Bridgmont The work of Rudolf Steiner is unique in the way it combines esoteric teaching with practical suggestions for the development of social life. Indeed, Steiner is best known today for the application of his ideas in areas such as education, medicine and agriculture. But none of this could have developed without the coherent and profound body of spiritual knowledge which stands at the very core of Steiner's work.





				ROSICRUCIANISM RENEWED The Unity of Art, Science & Religion. The Theosophical Congress of Whitsun 1907 The Congress of the Federation of the European Sections of the Theosophical Society was held in Munich at Whitsun 1907 and marked the emergence of Anthroposophy from Theosophy. Rudolf Steiner surprised some participants and dismayed others when he introduced the Rosicrucian path - a path of thinking and the unification of art, science, and religion into the greater theosophical tradition.





				RUDOLF STEINER SPEAKS TO THE BRITISH Lectures and Addresses in England and Wales As demonstrated by the contents of this book, Rudolf Steiner was able to speak to the British in a very direct and lively way. He did not need to give a long introductory build-up to his main theme, as was expected of him in Germany for instance, but could refer immediately to esoteric ideas.





				SECRET BROTHERHOODS and the Mystery of the Human Double In the age of the internet and the proliferation of 'conspiracy theories', the idea that secret groups are seeking to gain control over humanity is no longer uncommon. This was not the case in 1917, however, when Rudolf Steiner spoke on this theme in these extraordinary lectures. His unique contribution to this controversial topic is no abstract theory, but arose from his specific research methodology involving the use of advanced forms of perception and cognition.





				THE SECRET STREAM Christian Rosenkreutz and Rosicrucianism Edited & introduced by C. Bamford. During the early seventeenth century, Europe was suddenly embroiled in controversy with the publication of the first Rosicrucian texts. Ever since then, Rosicrucianism has stood at the center of Western Christian esotericism. Forced underground by the Thirty Years War, it was passed down secretly by alchemists, hermeticists, and Masons into the nineteenth century, when it inspired new spiritual movements, including Theosophy, the Order of Golden Dawn, and Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science.





				SECRETS OF THE THRESHOLD Contains the first reference to eurythmy and deals with the fourth mystery play 'The Soul's Awakening'.





				THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SPIRITUAL RESEARCH FOR MORAL ACTION





				SLEEP AND DREAMS A Bridge to the Spirit Introduction by Michael Lipson, Ph.D. What are dreams? Every age, every culture, perhaps every person, have different answers. We can at least agree on one thing, however: dreams are other. Their presence in our lives demonstrate that we are not limited to a single mode of consciousness. The world of sleep is largely a blank for us, an abyss of non-consciousness, yawning between one day and the next, but the very fact that we can dream announces our potential for awareness within that abyss.





				THE SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS OF MORALITY In this small, much-loved cycle of three lectures Rudolf Steiner indicates the sources for the recovery of a living morality for our time. He takes the example of St. Francis of Assisi. The spiritual world was connected with his coming. We see a warrior nature transformed into the expression of mercy, compassion, and love.





				SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY In these lectures, one of the few series which Steiner later edited for publication as a book, he describes the second, wiser self which guides us through life and which makes us truly human.





				STAYING CONNECTED How to Continue your Relationship with Those who have Died The idea of "working with the dead" - of maintaining and enhancing our relationships with those who have died - was a fundamental part of Rudolf Steiner's work. This volume reaps a rich harvest of his thoughts on this subject. Steiner speaks directly out of his own experience, formulating meditation practises and verses that really work.





				THE SUN MYSTERY AND THE MYSTERY OF DEATH AND RESURRECTION Exoteric and Esoteric Christianity These lectures were given in 1922, midway between World War I and Steiner's death in 1925. They will be of particular interest to anyone wanting to comprehend Rudolf Steiner's mature understanding of his mission: 'enchristing' the world.





				SUPERSENSIBLE KNOWLEDGE Hardback





				THE TEMPLE LEGEND Freemasonry and Related Occult Movements from the Contents of the Esoteric School In these unique lectures, given to members of his Esoteric School (1904-14), Rudolf Steiner's main intention is to throw light on the hidden content of the picture-language of myths, sagas and legends. Pictures, he explains, are the real origin of all things - the primeval spiritual causes. In order to work in a healthy way with pictures or symbols today, however, it is necessary that one should first become acquainted with their esoteric content - to understand them.





				TOWARDS IMAGINATION Culture and the Individual Paperback Starting with a new look at the Christian festival of Pentecost, Steiner shows how the chaos of his time - and ours - can be transcended by the development of Imagination.





				TRUE AND FALSE PATHS IN SPIRITUAL INVESTIGATION





				THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN The Evolution of Individuality Steiner describes the evolutionary task facing contemporary humanity as it prepares to enter the sixth epoch. In the past, human souls felt a strong connection with the group soul to which they belonged. Today, all 'group soul' characteristics - such as race and nation - must be discarded.





				YOUTH AND THE ETHERIC HEART Rudolf Steiner Speaks to the Younger Generation “All knowledge, even purely scholarly knowledge, must merge into pure artistry.” - Rudolf Steiner, February 14, 1923

				CITIZENS OF THE COSMOS Life's Unfolding from Conception through Death to Rebirth Beredene Jocelyn In this sequel to the bestselling 'Meditations on the Signs of the Zodiac', Beredene Jocelyn sheds valuable new light on the cosmic meaning of existence by charting life's passages in concert with planetary laws. With compassion, authority and a deep knowledge of spiritual science, the author explores in clear detail such subjects as life's year-by-year unfolding through the stages of child development and adult life, as well as thanatology (the science of death and dying) and the process of passing through the journey from death to rebirth.





				THE IMAGINATION OF PENTECOST Richard Leviton This controversial but stimulating work offers a comprehensive overview of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy and the many layers of the New Age movement.





				INNER DEVELOPMENT Valentin Tomberg





				THE INNER LIFE OF THE EARTH Exploring the Mysteries of Nature, Subnature, and Supranature Various Authors Throughout human history, ancient wisdom and traditional myths have placed human beings between the heavens and the underworld, describing the heavens as the light-filled realm of the gods and the source of goodness, and characterizing the underworld as a demon-filled realm of darkness and the source of evil. Modern science, however, denies the heavens and knows little of the Earth's interior - even physically - beyond the first few miles, after which it simply resorts to conjecture based on the extrapolation of existing sensory data. In other words, natural science fails to take into account that the Earth is a living, spiritual being and ignores the presence of its soul-spiritual qualities and influences.





				LIGHT FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM Rudolf Steiner's Association with Helmuth and Eliza von Moltke Letters, Documents and After-Death Communications Edited by T. H. Meyer This collection of previously unpublished letters and documents deals with themes which are of tremendous significance for our time, including: the end of the century and the new millennium; the future of Rudolf Steiner's science of the spirit; karma and reincarnation; life after death; the workings of evil; the destiny of Europe; and the hidden causes of the First World War.





				MEDITATIONS ON THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC John Jocelyn This esoteric classic contains meditations on each of the twelve signs of the zodiac. John Jocelyn uses traditional astrological symbolism to envision a Christ-centered zodiac - one in which each of the signs relate to an aspect of the New Testament. This is not a book about astrology, but about the deeper meaning of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The author relates the Zodiac signs to the development of inner Christ consciousness and encourages readers to meet their individual destinies more consciously and courageously and even with gratitude.





				MYSTERY STREAMS IN EUROPE AND THE NEW MYSTERIES B. C. J. Lievegoed





				RUDOLF STEINER'S VISION OF LOVE Spiritual Science and the Logic of the Heart Bernard Nesfield-Cookson Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, is a pivotal figure in contemporary esoteric thought. Through his books and lectures he provided an impetus for the spiritual renewal of many human activities, including education (Steiner Waldorf schools), agriculture, medicine, economics, the arts and religion.





				STAR WISDOM AND RUDOLF STEINER A Life Seen through the Oracle of the Solar Cross David Tresemer Robert Schiappacasse From the book: "We are each meant to discover the connection from our individual soul to spiritual realities not encompassed by the normal senses, requiring supersensible perception. Images can offer powerful assistance.... However, we have forgotten about our own imagination, the creation of our own images. What was meant to be a balance between self-created imaginations and the enjoyment of others' imaginations has become seriously lopsided.... We have become gluttons, even if unwilling gluttons, of images. The energetic body becomes fat while the soul starves. We are meant to feed the soul with our own realizations of its gifts. The personality and the soul feed each other, constantly."





				A STUDY COMPANION TO AN OUTLINE OF ESOTERIC SCIENCE Clopper Almon The author takes the reader step by step through one of Rudolf Steiner's most difficult texts. Almon's commentary is keyed by paragraph number to the text of An Outline of Esoteric Science. This study companion has four elements: themes or brief summaries of the main points of the text; review questions; discussion questions; and Almon's observations on the text.





				THREEFOLD MARY Emil Bock The Mary-Sophia mystery in human history, and the meaning of the feminine element in the evolution of consciousness.





				THE TIME IS AT HAND! The Rosicrucian Nature of Goethe's Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily and the Mystery Dramas of Rudolf Steiner Paul M. Allen Joan deRis Allen The authors begin by placing the fairytale against the background of Goethe's life and cultural setting. They then discuss its importance in the development of Steiner's spiritual science. Finally, they describe its visual language, profound mystical insights, and relevance for us today.
