14 lectures, Munich, May 22- June 6, 1907 (CW 99) The work of
Rudolf Steiner is unique in the way it combines esoteric teaching
with practical suggestions for the development of social life.
Indeed, we know Steiner today mostly because of the various
applications of his ideas in such areas as education, medicine, and
agriculture. However, society could not have developed any of these
without the coherent and profound body of spiritual knowledge at
the core of Steiner's work. In Rosicrucian Wisdom--one of Rudolf
Steiner's most complete introductions to modern spirituality--he
speaks from the very stream of Rosicrucian teaching. Rather than
borrowing old ideas from historical tradition, however, he presents
a wholly new contribution that arises from the results of his own
experiential, spiritual research. Steiner discusses of the
Rosicrucian path as the one appropriate for modern spiritual
seekers in the West. He warns the reader that Rosicrucian teaching
should not be taken as abstract theory; rather than remaining in
the head, or even in the heart, spiritual ideas should reach into
daily action and transform all aspects of life. He goes on to
describe many facets of spiritual truth, including the law of
destiny, the fact of life after death, means of developing
spiritual vision, humanity's past and future evolution, and much
more. This volume contains one of the best lecture courses for
gaining a deeper understanding of the spiritual principles behind
Anthroposophy. Rosicrucian Wisdom is a translation from the German
Die Theosophie des Rosenkreuzers (GA 99). A previous translation
was titled The Theosophy of the Rosicrucians.
