Inner Nature of Music and the Experience of Tone, The

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $37.95

Publisher: Adonis Press:

Seller ID: 12322

ISBN: 0880100745

"A tone is at the foundation of everything in the physical world." This is one of many astonishing statements made by Rudolf Steiner in this collection of seven lectures on the inner realities of music. These lectures are an unusual treasure as they are the only two groups of lectures that Steiner gave primarily on music, other than the lecture cycle for the tone eurythmy course, Eurythmy as Visible Music.

In the first group of three lectures, given in 1906, Steiner explains why music affects the human soul so powerfully. Music has always held a special position among the arts...

Cosmic Memory

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $55.00

Publisher: Great Barrington, MA, SteinerBooks:

Seller ID: 10108

ISBN: 0893452270

"Rudolf Steiner shows that the insoluble link between humanity and cosmos is the fundamental basis of evolution. As human beings have participated in the development of the world we know today, so their achievements are directly connected with the ultimate destiny of the universe. In human hands rests the freedom to shape the future course of creation. Knowledge of our exalted origins and of the path we have followed is indispensable if we are to evolve a future worthy of responsible human beings.... Through a study of Steiner’s writings, one can come to a clear, reasonable, comprehe...

Occult Science An Outline

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $34.00

Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press:

Seller ID: 12899

ISBN: 1855843854

An authorised translation of this classic work, re-edited, beautifully typeset and designed, from a professional publisher dedicated to high-quality editions of Rudolf Steiner’s books and lectures.
The anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is not a theoretical system, but the results of research based on direct observation. As Steiner’s research was so vast and conducted over such a long period of time, no single book can be said to contain the whole of his spiritual teaching. However, of all his books Occult Science comes closest. Steiner even referred to it as ‘an epitome of ...

Life of the Human Soul and its Relation to World Evolution

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $59.99

Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press:

Seller ID: 14429

ISBN: 1855845296

9 lectures, Dornach, Apr - Jun 1922, CW 212
How are we connected to the world around us? This question, says Rudolf Steiner, is one that lives subliminally, drawing us into the depths of the psyche. There, our candle of consciousness tends to flicker and go out. But spiritual schooling can relight it, so that we learn to perceive realms of our being beyond the restricted self.

Whilst Steiner was undertaking major lecture tours of Germany and England, he took time to address his followers at the world centre of anthroposophy in Dornach, Switzerland. He speaks here on three major ...

Death as Metamorphosis of Life

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $44.99

Publisher: United States, Anthroposophic Press Inc: 2008

Seller ID: 1197

ISBN: 0880106077

Binding: Paperback

This jewel of a book — consisting of seven lectures given in various cities, mostly in 1918 — movingly and with great spiritual maturity and rare emotional intensity expresses Rudolf Steiner’s wisdom, insight, and compassion. Several lectures deal primarily with aspects of life after death. The first describes the three realms after earthly life: that of intense, surging sensation (sympathy and antipathy); that of the ebb and flow of will impulses that stream into the human sphere, affecting in increasingly wider circles human life on earth (karmic relatio...

9 lectures in various cities, April 1915-June 1920 (CW 288)
Illustrations: 120 Color and b/w
The planning, construction, and execution of the functional work of art that was the First Goetheanum was an endeavor that occupied Rudolf Steiner for the better part of seven years. Every detail, from the seemingly smallâ€”such as the shape and feel of the door handlesâ€”to the grand motifs of the paintings on the ceilings of the cupolas and the buildingâ€™s intended sculptural centerpiece, was lovingly designed to meet and inspire the indi...

Influence of the Dead on Destiny (CW179)

Binding: Paperback

“Naturally, the dead do not know the physical, mineral world. Theirs is, above all, a world filled with feeling. For them, the lowest world is the ‘animal’ world—the world of feeling, of joy and pain, of interpenetrating relationships, sympathy and antipathy, and compassion. For this reason, the dead play directly into the animal world of Earth, which for earthly humans is mostly destructive. But purifying themselves of destructive animal impulses, the dead transform this world and learn, above all, reverence for life—for all life. They learn t...

Binding: Paperback

Selected from material given by Rudolf Steiner to members of his Esoteric School (1904-14), this volume features exercises, meditations and practices for spiritual self-development.

What must be rescued within humanity is knowledge itself;
knowledge must be led back to the suprasensory.

In these exciting lectures, Rudolf Steiner explores the practical consequences of Christian theological spiritual facts as they unfold in human consciousness.

Publisher: SteinerBooks:

ISBN: 088010628X

".... Facing the human soul stands the whole world: dark unknown like the blue of the sky. But what is unknown comes. The human soul must feel this coming like the extinguishing of itself. Sensing this self-extinguishing is followed by the right to recreate oneself anew from the outer world that has been absorbed.

I am I."

Rudolf Steiner made it his task to teach nothing that he had not experienced himself and always encouraged others to make individual spiritual-meditative research the basis of their spiritual lives. Therefore he gave many spiritual exercises to his...

Cosmosophy Volume Two

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $9.90

Publisher: Completion Press:

Seller ID: 13090

ISBN: 0646337483

In Cosmosophy Volume 2, Rudolf Steiner continues his exploration of the relationships between what the human being is as a totality between birth and death, and what he is between death and rebirth. It becomes clear from his exposition that this is not just a schematically elegant arrangement but a functional interrelationship in which one phase is an involution for the other's evolution. What we contain within us now as components of our physical make-up and overall identity, were outward environmental experiences in the period between death and rebirth, which then condensed into form as we e...

Price: $79.99

Publisher: United States, Anthroposophic Press Inc: 2008

Seller ID: 1172

ISBN: 0880105798

illustrations
Steiner produced about 1500 forms for speech and tone eurythmy to be performed in Dornach and other locations. Many of his forms for tone eurythmy arose spontaneously in response to requests for forms from eurythmists. Steiner's spontaneity is readily apparent in the sketches themselves, with some drawn at rehearsals as he listened to the music. Steiner sketched others in the evening after hearing the music once, making them available for rehearsal the next day. When he was confined to bed during his final illness, he drew forms simply by looking at the sheet music

"The Foundation Stone Meditation" holds a central place in the inner life of many students of Rudolf Steiner's work.

The Mysteries A Poem for Christmas and Easter by W. J. v. Goethe

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $19.99

Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press:

Seller ID: 13710

ISBN: 1621480801

In this lecture, given on Christmas day, Rudolf Steiner reflects on the deep mysteries of the events surrounding Christ's incarnation, death, and resurrection on Earth. The foundation of his message was the three magi from the East and Goethe's poem “The Mysteries,” told from the perspective of a kind of archetypal pilgrim of esoteric Christianity:
“Here, in Goethe’s poem, we have a wonderful phenomenon. We encounter a person who, in the simplest childlike words, not spoken out of his intellect and formed ideas, imparts to us the highest wisdom, the fruits, of his p...

New editon with 15 colour plates, index
Essentially we do not really have the right to talk about normality or abnormality in a child’s inner life, nor indeed in the inner life of human beings altogether... One does not gain much from such labelling, and the first thing to happen should be that the physician or the teacher rejects such an assessment, and goes further than saying that something is clever or sensible according to the way people are habitually thinking.’ – Rudolf Steiner

Six Steps in Self-development The 'Supplementary Exercises'

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $27.99

Publisher: United Kingdom, Rudolf Steiner Press: 2010

Seller ID: 4011

ISBN: 1855842378

Supplementary Exercises
The so-called 'supplementary exercises' - to be carried out alongside the 'review exercises' and meditation - are integral to the path of personal development presented by Rudolf Steiner. Together they form a means of experiencing the spiritual realm in full consciousness. Meditation enlivens thinking, the review exercises cultivate the will, whilst the supplementary exercises educate and balance feeling. Conscientiously practised, this path of self-knowledge and development has the effect of opening a source of inner strength and psychological health that soon make...

Riddles of Philosophy Presented in an Outline of Its History

Seller ID: 11886

ISBN: 0880107111

Binding: Paperback

CW18
"Rudolf Steiner's Riddles of Philosophy: Presented in an Outline of Its History is not a history of philosophy in the usual sense of the word. It does not give a history of the philosophical systems, nor does it present a number of philosophical problems historically. Its real concern touches on something deeper than this, on riddles rather than problems. Philosophical concepts, systems and problems are, to be sure, to be dealt with in this book. But it is not their history that is to be described here. Where they are discussed they become symptoms rather than the objects of the...

Conscious Society Anthroposophy and the Social Question

Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press:

Seller ID: 15138

ISBN: 1855845431

8 lectures, Dornach, Feb.-Mar. 1919, CW 189
Delivered in the context of post-war cultural and social chaos, these lectures form part of Rudolf Steiner’s energetic efforts to cultivate social understanding and renew culture through his innovative ideas based on ‘threefolding’. Steiner develops a subtle and discerning perception of how social dynamics could change and heal if they were founded on real insight into our threefold nature as individuals, social beings and economic participants in the world. He doesn’t offer a programmatic agenda for change, but a real f...

Mindfulness and Reverence Steps in Perception

By: STEINER, RUDOLF

Price: $34.00

Seller ID: 14813

ISBN: 1855845369

Contemporary interest in the meditative schooling of mindfulness is usually associated with Eastern traditions. Rudolf Steiner spoke of the same phenomenon, although he used the terms ‘attentiveness’ and ‘dedication’ – or, combining these two, ‘pure perception’. This way of mindfulness and reverence is not in conflict with spiritual paths founded on thinking or pure thought. However, as the texts in this anthology indicate, methods based exclusively on thinking cannot be successful if they are not supported by perception, feeling and will.
