At the heart of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual philosophy is the esoteric path of inner development that can lead to self-transformation. In these lectures, Steiner shows how - by developing certain qualities such as clear thinking, inner tranquillity and positivity, as well as through meditative exercises - it is possible to break out of the shadowy, brain-bound world of everyday consciousness, and to develop a new consciousness in touch with the divine. In contrast to many of the New Age paths available today, Steiner's methods are based on the western mystery tradition, as opposed to older, Eastern teachings. This modern path is, he suggests, a metamorphosis of the Eastern paths, and is best suited to modern consciousness. 246pp, 138mm x 216mm, softback, 2003
A Book of the Dead by Gerhard Reisch, translated by Jehanne Mehta, is a collection of verses and paintings about how to develop contact with deceased loved ones.
By meditating on these verses for times of day and seasons of the year, you will learn to delve into the rhythms of nature and their relation to human beings.
By meditating on these verses we can learn to know ourselves by looking outwards to the substances and processes at work in the cosmos, and to know the world by looking inwards to the microcosmic depths of the human self.
