COSMIC NEW YEAR Thoughts for the New Year 1920 Today, the I is empty of atavistic, clairvoyant visions, and when we look back at the I, it is, so to speak, more or less only a point in our soul life. The content of this I is a firm point of support for everyone, but still only a point. But we are living in a time when the point should once again become a circle in which the I should once again received content.... Just as the I was filled for the human being of the past with atavistic, clairvoyant content, so in our time our I should fill itself with a new spiritual content, received in full consciousness, which once again provides the tie that binds our soul to the soul being of the divine. Now, a start must be made. - Rudolf Steiner |

THE FOUR SEASONS AND THE ARCHANGELS Experience of the Course of the Year in Four Cosmic Imaginations These profound studies of the cosmic forces behind the four great festivals of the year provide a wealth of material for fruitful meditation.
