Veritas Ex Spiritu, meaning "Truth Through Spirit," is a compilation of spiritual writings composed over a period of nearly fifteen years. The title alludes to the fact that, even when in ignorance and/or denial, we're all spiritual beings by our very nature, and that all truth comes from this source, with the mind always playing translator. This compilation represents the desire of the author to share his spirituality through one condensed work. In the process it offers answers to the great moral, spiritual and philosophical quandaries of the ages. The fully-inclusive nature of God, or 'Spirit,' and its inseparability from every one of its manifestations is investigated through multiple genres, and theories and principles of the greatest possible value to life, and to the progression of the human race, are explored in detail.Attempting to control what constitutes divinity is the hubristic foolishness of religion. The roads to the truth are always endless, and everyone has a prophet inside of them; it's all a matter of centering oneself and learning how to listen. This is precisely what makes the 'spiritual but not religious' perspective, the fully inclusive viewpoint, superior to the religious perspective, the excluding viewpoint made of attempting to stuff the all-encompassing Spirit and its manifestations into a single box in which it shall not only never fit, but which leads to innumerable ills for humankind, including promoting the propensity for tribal thought and divisiveness.True spirituality, that which possesses the greatest power to unite all people, seeks no supremacy, listens to no labels, builds no boundaries, identifies with no idolatry, heeds no hierarchies and enforces no exclusions. Those are the man-made corruptions that created the religions by which the powerful have long controlled and oppressed the people as a whole. Ironically, the cure to religion is spirituality.This collection includes:- 2 short books, based upon the Tao Te Ching and the Gnostic Gospels, respectively- 1 excerpt on the nature of divinity, from the philosophical novel "Infinite of One"- 4 short spiritual papers on the 'spiritual but not religious' supersession of religion- 30 standard-length poems exploring various aspects of spirituality- 1 'epic poem' based upon Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet"- 1 novel reflection on the spiritual classic "Siddhartha"

Between death and a new birth on earth, the human being lives through a long cosmic existence in the higher worlds. This is mirrored in the earthly life. Rudolf Steiner described its division into seven-year periods and the connection with the pre-birth existence in the planetary spheres. Apart from this, there is another division including higher spheres of the fixed stars. Rudolf Steiner only gave us a hint. In line whith this and based on his own experiences on the path of spirit discipleship, the author of this book gives examples how these different stages of life between death and rebirth can express themselves in the course of earthly life. He also explains in which of the seven-year periods the conditions for learning something about one's own previous incarnation are particularly favourable. In addition, he describes the connection of the later seven-year periods of earthly life with the Life Spirit (Budhi), as well as the preparation of mankind for receiving it by a development which Rudolf Steiner called the gradual "getting-younger" of mankind, and which started at the times of the primeval Semites in ancient Atlantis.For everyone who follows or aspires to the path of spiritual discipleship or is interested in biography work, a highly recommended book.

Michaela Glöckler beschreibt, dass wir die Kulmination des Materialismus als einen Durchgangspunkt verstehen können. Wir lernen in der Apokalypse des Johannes das Reich Ahrimans, des Drachens, der untermenschlich-tierischen Entwicklungsmöglichkeit kennen und auf der anderen Seite die Michael-Christus-Offenbarung. Und wir sind gefragt, uns frei zu entscheiden, in welche Richtung unser eigener Weg gehen soll. Rudolf Steiner beschreibt das Wesen der Trinität so, dass er sagt: Ahriman steht heute vor dem Vatergott. Wir müssen den Materialismus überwinden als eine Krankheit, um wirklich zum Vater hinzukommen und zu verstehen, dass diese Welt nicht ein Zufallsprodukt des materiellen Daseins ist, sondern »aus Gott geboren«.
