Modern science tells us that we are an insignificant accident in a
vast, indifferent universe. Rudolf Steiner maintains instead that
we are intimately enmeshed with the whole cosmos, right down to the
physical structure of our bodies. In these talks, he explores our
relationship as individuals to the spiritual cosmos, in which we
will all become cosmonauts, eventually. The key to being at home in
the universe is to understand the significance of our individual,
physical lives on earth and what happens when we leave our physical
bodies behind.
Steiner encapsulates his view of our journey after death and our
return to earth and a new life. He describes the "planetary"
spheres through which we each pass and their effects on our future.
He shows us how our character and actions on earth affect us after
we die and how those experiences shape our next physical life.
This is not merely information to be added to our already
over-abundant store of abstract concepts: Steiner gives us
imaginative exercises that help us explore our suprasensory, or
spiritual, human nature. We can begin now to act more consciously
by recognizing the concrete nature of morality and the real
consequences of our present lives.
The introduction and comprehensive afterword by Paul Margulies
explain and contextualize Steiner's text, revealing a message that
is more vital and relevant than ever in our frenzied, materialistic
times. This book can help us experience more meaning in life and
become more at home as spiritual citizens of the universe.
