A comprehensive owner's manual for the human body, discussing human physiology and the hidden life forces and processes that sustain life on Earth.

When students are given fixed and finalized abstractions from the beginning, they do not have to use their own inner forces to overcome the resistance of the world to arrive at truth or to create beauty. The result is that their inner pictures are devoid of life.To arrive at a truth or to create beauty that reflects the order and harmony of the Creator, we must always begin humbly, in ignorance and ugliness. By striving out of ignorance and ugliness toward the true and beautiful, both scientists and artists can bring new, creative forces into the world. Neither memorizing data nor copying a beautiful drawing engages the true imagination of students as it is by drawing a flower from life. It is precisely this lack of an active, striving inner creativity that can result in the frequently overwhelming feelings of anxiety and alienation experienced by so many people today. As a counterbalance, education must--in all areas of knowledge--increasingly focus on the personal creation of what, through its beauty, speaks truth and through its truth radiates beauty.Drawing from the Book of Nature is about both drawing and the natural world of plants and animals. It is a valuable resource for teachers, students, and anyone who wants to develop a capacity for artistic observation of natural phenomena.Dennis Klocek provides a refreshing combination of depth and clarity, offering a wealth of insight into the lives that constitute living nature. The text is supported by easy-to-follow lessons that help the reader bring the kingdoms of nature to life on paper. This book is a resource through which teachers, students, and others can find their own way toward reuniting with beauty and truth.

This meditative book by Dennis Klocek provides a new approach to developing the capacities of our souls. Based in anthroposophy, Klocek's thinking goes beyond what already exists to create a truly unique contribution that can heal the reader in profound ways. Working with the book, as Robert Sardello suggests in the foreword, will "lead to capacities of sustained concentration on and receptivity to the spiritual worlds."

The 1616 classic treasure of Western esoteric wisdom, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (traditionally attributed to Johann Valentinus Andreae) is one of three key manifestos of the Rosicrucians and alchemists in general. It narrates a story of Christian Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in the "chemical wedding" of the king and the queen--the husband and the bride.Filled with alchemical metaphors, coded words, and images, Dennis Klocek describes--in his inimitable style--much of the profound meaning behind the colorful and surprising events throughout the seven-day "initiation" of Christian Rosenkreutz.Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an overview, followed by fresh translations of the original text, and illumined by Klocek's comprehensive and unique commentaries--all of which providies an accessible introduction to the real meaning behind the Rosicrucian path of inner development."The Bridegroom is Christ, and the Bride is the human soul.... Right now, they might be engaged, but they will eventually become married; the universal issue is commitment. The Bridegroom is eager, but the Bride needs time to feel things out and commit to the union. If the true 'wedding' is to take place, the hopes and needs of both must first be balanced so that each is willing to commit to the other. A hesitant soul requires time to become willing to commit to anxiety-producing uncertainty, travail, and a whole lot of unknowing. Misunderstanding and the feeling of uncertainty that not knowing produces in the soul is exactly the challenge Christian Rosenkreutz faces again and again. This is the central motif in the book. Thus, the subtitle of The Alchemical Wedding: 'The Initiate of Misunderstanding.'" --Dennis Klocek
