Replete with fresh immediacy, rich spiritual content, innovation
and occasional humour, these talks were given at a time when Rudolf
Steiner was preparing for independence from the Theosophical
Society. Alongside the much-loved lectures ‘Nervousness and Ego
Development’ – in which Steiner shares practical exercises for
coping with contemporary life’s challenges – and ‘Love and
Its Significance in the World’, the collection finds a focal
point in descriptions of the ‘Three Soul Paths to Christ’. The
first of these is via the Gospels, the second through ‘Inner
Experience’ and the third ‘Initiation’, which Steiner
characterizes as a path transcending religion. He further
elaborates these themes in a lecture entitled, ‘Mysteries of the
Kingdoms of Heaven in Parables and in Real Form’. Elijah, John
the Baptist, Raphael and Novalis form a golden thread throughout,
appearing as a fourfold herald of a true Christianity of the
future. A moving yet astringent tribute to the founder of
Theosophy, H.P. Blavatsky, on the tenth anniversary of her death,
adds the Christian verities not embraced by Blavatsky during her
lifetime, and two stirring talks that set the mood for
Christmastide – via St Matthew, Eudocia and St Luke – round off
the volume with paeans to Novalis. The lectures are complemented
with an introduction by Margaret Jonas, detailed notes and an
index.
