Written throughout the Second World War and sent in secret to the
author's wife, these letters are the legacy of an aristocratic
German intelligence officer--and devout Christian and
pacifist--whose untiring struggle against the Third Reich
eventually cost him his life, but also made him one of the few
genuine heroes to arise inside Nazi Germany. Photos.
Containing a wealth of material on a variety of subjects, Light for
the New Millennium tells the story of the meeting of two great men
and their continuing relationship beyond the threshold of death:
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) - the seer, scientist of the spirit, and
cultural innovator - and Helmuth von Moltke (1848-1916) - a
renowned military man, Chief of the General Staff of the German
army during the outbreak of the First World War. In 1914, following
disagreements with the Kaiser, Moltke was dismissed from his post.
This led to a great inner crisis in the General, that in turn drew
him closer to Steiner. When Moltke died two years later, Steiner
maintained contact with his excarnated soul, receiving
communications that he passed on to Moltke's wife, Eliza. These
remarkable and unique messages are reproduced here in full,
together with relevant letters from the General to his wife. The
various additional commentaries, essays and documents give insights
to themes of continuing significance for our time, including the
workings of evil; karma and reincarnation; life after death; the
new millennium and the end of the last century; the hidden causes
of the First World War; the destiny of Europe, and the future of
Rudolf Steiner's science of the spirit. Also included are Moltke's
private reflections on the causes of the Great War ('the document
that could have changed world history'), a key interview with
Steiner for Le Matin, an introduction and notes by T. H. Meyer, and
studies by Jurgen von Grone, Jens Heisterkamp and Johannes Tautz.
