From 2009 to 2010, Sergei Prokofiev and Peter Selg-two leading
authorities and spiritual researchers into the life and work of
Rudolf Steiner-gave a series of conferences on the Christological
foundations of Anthroposophy. Their aim was to show the power of
anthroposophic Christology. Consequently, they focused on key
turning points in Rudolf Steiner's exposition: his major work, An
Outline of Esoteric Science; the first Goetheanum; the Reappearance
of Christ in the etheric realm and the relationship of this event
to Rudolf Steiner's lectures on the Fifth Gospel; and the Christmas
Conference (1923-24) and the founding of the New Mysteries. The
lectures from the conferences (published as four booklets in
German) are collected here in a single volume. The Creative Power
of Anthroposophical Christology is essential reading for all those
who are interested in the true meaning and depth of Rudolf
Steiner's experience and understanding of Christ's deed on Golgotha
and his continuing presence among us and within Anthroposophy.
This thought-, feeling-, and will-provoking book of reflections by
Peter Selg and Sergei Prokofieff on the soul-spiritual, ethical,
and medicaltherapeutic issues surrounding physician-assisted
suicide (and suicide as such) takes its inspiration from both
Rudolf Steiner and the ancient Greek Hippocratic Oath. Peter Selg
begins by showing how, for Rudolf Steiner, the principle of life-as
immanent spirit and the living medium of the "I" or
individuality-is inviolable and wise beyond our reckoning. It is
the sacred task of healing always to attend to, honor, and serve
life in this sense: to affirm, enhance, and strengthen the
life-forces of the sick. As Rudolf Steiner puts it: "The will to
heal must always function as therapeutically as possible... even
when one thinks the sick person is incurable." Though these words
were spoken before the full consummation of materialist,
technologically-enhanced medicine, Rudolf Steiner, as Peter Selg
demonstrates, was well aware of the dangers of where medicine was
heading. Sergei Prokofieff links the initiatory origins of
Hippocratic medicine in the Mysteries with the return of the
Mystery origin of medicine and healing in Anthroposophical
medicine. Turning to Rudolf Steiner's spiritual research, he
considers suicide as an "illness" of our time and examines the
spiritual consequences of suicide for the after-death experiences
of those who have taken their own life: namely, that suicide
results in the soul's profound disorientation. He then goes on to
show how suicide makes the after-death experience of Christ
infinitely more difficult, as it does the "resurrection of the
spirit" and the relation to the spiritual world. Far from being a
"free" act, he concludes, suicide is quite the opposite. Anyone
seeking insight into suicide will find here a profound and esoteric
introduction to the problem.
‘In Odd as F*ck, Anne Walsh Donnelly recounts one woman’s
journey through pain and growth. The poems are poignant, stark, and
beautiful, heavy with unanswered questions, but buoyed up by
levity. This is potent work.’ - Nuala O’Connor, author of The
Juno Charm
