Beginning in January 1913, five days after the Anthroposophical
Society was founded, this rich volume traces the esoteric work (and
lack thereof) in the decade leading up to the reestablishment of
the General Anthroposophical Society at the "Christmas Conference"
(1923/1924) and the subsequent creation of the First Class, which
replaced the Esoteric Section. Part One, the largest section (Jan.
2, 1913-July 14, 1914), containing thirty-nine lessons in nineteen
months, allows us to sense the subtle, though seismic, shift as
Anthroposophy gradually became an autonomous earthly, spiritual
reality outside the context of Theosophy, with the initial focus to
deepen the Rosicrucian path. The emphasis is more practical than
theoretical. The task is meditation, without which the new,
freestanding spiritual movement could not fulfill its mission. As a
consequence, instructions and advice are given. Then, with the
outbreak of World War I, the esoteric lessons cease. Part Two is
much shorter and covers the period from 1918 to 1923, with only six
lessons. Clearly, the time demanded a different approach to the
spiritual world, and esoteric students were less prepared to work.
Nevertheless, important meditations were given that indicated a new
direction. Part Three contains the two esoteric lessons given to
the esoteric youth circle-members of the Youth Movement who were
serious about esoteric work and would become public exponents of
Anthroposophy. Here is something quite new and future-oriented: a
new way of undertaking spiritual work in the service of the
Archangel Michael. Never before made public, the meditations and
instructions are powerful and relevant. This section is preceded by
a moving account of the history and development of the esoteric
Youth Movement, in which Rudolf Steiner placed such hopes. The
volume closes with the Threefold Mantra that foreshadowed a new
approach for the First Class and was used by those in the Esoteric
Section between 1920 and 1923. This volume is the English
translation of Aus den Inhalten der esoterischen Stunden,
Gedachtnisaufzeichnungen von Teilnehmern. Band.3, 1913 und 1914;
1920-1923 (GA 266)
