In this landmark series of lectures, Rudolf Steiner challenges the
notion that human consciousness has in essence remained the same
throughout history. On the contrary, we can only see the past in
its true light when we study the differences in human souls during
the various historical eras. Consciousness, he says, evolves
constantly and we can only comprehend the present by understanding
its origin in the past. Delivered in the evenings during the course
of the 'mystery act' of the Christmas Foundation Meeting - when
Rudolf Steiner not only re-founded the Anthroposophical Society but
for the first time took a formal role within it - these lectures
study world history in parallel with the ancient mysteries of
initiation, showing how they are intimately linked. Steiner
describes consciousness in the ancient East and follows the
initiation principle from Babylonia to Greece, up to its influences
in present-day spiritual life. He also discusses Gilgamesh and
Eabani, the mysteries of Ephesus and Hibernia, and the occult
relationship between the destruction by fire of the Temple of
Artemis and the burning of the first Goetheanum in Dornach,
Switzerland. Published for the first time with colour plates of
Steiner's blackboard drawings, the freshly-revised text is
complemented with an introduction, notes and appendices by
Professor Frederick Amrine and an index.
