During the refounding of the Anthroposophical Society as the
General Anthroposophical Society at Christmas 1923/24, Rudolf
Steiner also reconstituted, as the School of Spiritual Science, the
Esoteric School he had led in three classes from 1904 to 1914, at
the same time extending its scope by adding artistic and scientific
Sections. However, owing to his illness and later death in March
1925, he was only able to make a beginning by establishing the
First Class and the Sections. The actual step from the Esoteric
School to the School of Spiritual Science was nevertheless an
exceptional one. The Esoteric School from Helena Blavatsky's time
had been secret. Its existence was known only to those personally
invited to participate. In contrast, the existence of the School of
Spiritual Science was stated openly in the public statutes of the
General Anthroposophical Society. From the Christmas Conference
onwards, Rudolf Steiner worked within this publicly acknowledged
framework. The Class Lessons comprise a complete spiritual course
of nineteen fundamental lessons given between February and August
1924, several lessons given at other locations, and seven further
lessons from September 1924 which take up the themes of the first
part of the nineteen lessons in a modified form. This authentic,
accurate and high-quality bilingual edition - with English and
German texts printed side by side - is published in conjunction
with the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum. A compact
four-volume clothbound set, it features plates with Rudolf
Steiner's handwritten notes of the mantras and reproductions of his
original colour blackboard drawings. The translations of the
mantric verses have been reworked by a committed group of
translators, linguists and editors, expressing subtleties of
meaning, grammatical accuracy and poetic style whilst retaining the
original sound and metre of the German mantric forms. Three
versions of the existing English translations are also included.
At the end of his life, Rudolf Steiner took up the task that was
his special destiny: to bring to the West a knowledge of
reincarnation and karma. To do this, he gave over eighty lectures
in 1924 in which he explicitly and concretely revealed the
destinies of various individuals from one life to the next in order
to show how the general laws of karma operate in individual cases.
He also revealed many details of the karmic streams of the members
of the Anthroposophical Society. These volumes constitute an
immeasurable contribution to the understanding of reincarnation and
karma, and the tasks of the Anthroposophical Society in connection
with the Archangel Michael. This new edition also includes
Steiner's last address along with; the karmic groups of souls
connected to Aristotelianism and Platonism, the karma of the
anthroposophical movement, as well as the individual incarnations
of Ernst Haeckel, Vladimir Solovioff and others.
This volume contains Rudolf Steiner''s leadin g thoughts and
letters written for the Anthroposophical Soci ety. In brief
paragraphs they succinctly present Steiner''s s cience of the
