`No true understanding of the world is possible without an
understanding of the elementary kingdoms.' - Oskar Kurten A hidden
gem for students of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual-scientific research,
Symphonies of Creation offers a breathtaking overview of the
physical and metaphysical development of the world and humanity. In
describing the elementary kingdoms, Kurten elucidates the exalted
spiritual realms out of which all creation has arisen. These are
the formative forces that provide successive life-waves of being
with the subtle and physical forms through which their evolution
becomes possible. He traces the beginnings of creation - an
unformed `thought seed' in the elementary kingdoms that is
elaborated by hierarchical beings at all levels, through the planes
of the spiritual, soul and physical worlds - to the manifold and
evolving aspects of the human being. What emerges is a picture of
astonishing complexity and beauty in which all spiritual beings
connected with the earth, from the highest to the lowest, work
together in symphonic harmony. Rudolf Steiner spoke on many
occasions and in different places of these elementary kingdoms and
the multiple processes that take place within them. Kurten has
sought out these references, meditated on their content and
re-presents it here in an inwardly coherent synthesis. Even for
those who have been studying anthroposophy for decades, this book
can offer startlingly fresh insights. Symphonies of Creation is the
life's work of a man who, due to severe deafness, led a retiring
existence. His inner work, however, was full of life - the results
of which are presented in this inspiring study.
