'Let us be courageous and not draw back in fear when realities of
the world of spirit that play into human life are unveiled. You
see, the future of humanity depends on us learning to live with the
world of spirit in the same way that we live with the physical
world here on earth.' - Rudolf Steiner In a wide-ranging series of
lectures, Rudolf Steiner demonstrates the integral nature of spirit
and matter and their manifold connections. Speaking to audiences in
London, Holland, Germany and Switzerland, Steiner explains how,
through a process of evolving consciousness, humanity lost its
knowledge and direct experience of the spiritual sources of
existence, but now needs to reconnect with them. Spirit is the
essence and power of life which, in Steiner's vivid image, 'strikes
a match in our whole being' when we allow it to inform us fully.
Our world cannot be understood only in physical terms but is
inseparable from the divine realities continually creating and
sustaining it. Reconnecting with the spirit calls upon us to heal
the fractures between everyday consciousness and the metaphysical
realms in which we are already embedded. In Steiner's descriptions,
there is no end to the numerous reconnections possible: between our
past, present and future; between the active, individualizing
principle of the 'I' and the physical human body it works upon and
shapes; between our physical actions and limb movements in one life
and the forming or sculpting of our head in a future one; and above
all, between the moral actions and insights we develop whilst alive
on earth and our developing 'eye' for spiritual reality in the life
after death, with all that this can mean for the future of human
evolution. Taking a truly holistic approach, Rudolf Steiner tackles
an eclectic series of subjects throughout these sixteen lectures -
all united by the common theme of rediscovering how spirit pervades
life. Apart from a focus on education in several lectures, he
discusses: experiences during sleep; the human spirit and soul
between death and a new birth; how spirit 'sculpts' the human
organism; Christ from the perspective of anthroposophy; the battle
for human nature between luciferic and ahrimanic beings; karma and
the creation of conditions for our return to a new life on earth;
human experience of the etheric cosmos; and the human being's
faculties of hearing, speaking, singing, walking, and thinking.
Together, these lectures offer a cornucopia of spiritual insights
and wisdom for the present day. 16 lectures, various cities, 1922,
