During summer 1924, Rudolf Steiner began his lectures on karmic relationships by tackling the question of karmic predispositions that lead people into the Anthroposophical Society and movement. Ever since, when discussing the karmic groups connected to modern spiritual science, the focus has been predominantly on two streams-- "Aristotelian" and "Platonist." However, it is far less understood that, to Rudolf Steiner, his lectures on karma in 1924 were incomplete. In the final presentation of the series, he offered clear hints on the intended direction of future elaborations.this book presents for the first time the various karmic groups in the Anthroposophical Society and movement, as laid out in Steiner's lectures and written works. This approach takes us beyond the duality of Aristotelians and Platonists toward a fourfold picture, adding the two streams of the "Novalis-souls" and "Rosicrucians," equal to the other two. Aristotelians and Platonists represent, foremost, the dimension of insight in Anthroposophy, whereas the Novalis-souls and Rosicrucians represent the dimension of life--the moral, social, and world-changing side of Anthroposophy. By considering all four groups, we gain a full picture of the anthroposophic "circle of mystery streams"--karmic groups that are truly capable of forming a spiritual home for everyone connected with Anthroposophy.

Most people are familiar with an image of St. Michael and the Dragon. Through Christoph-Andreas Lindenberg's words and David Newbatt's images, this book explores other attributes of St. Michael, in such a way that they reveal a twelvefold balance of key noble qualities that the human being can strive for.In addition to these virtues, the book also describes, in contrast, the all-too-recognizable failings of human nature, which have to be recognized and understood before they can be overcome.Twelve Aspects of Michael originated with Christoph-Andreas Lindenberg giving a lecture in a Camphill Community in 1962 on images of Michael, and with further encouragement from the founder of the Camphill Movement, Dr. Karl König, he explored the counter-images. Lindenberg's research led to the talk reproduced in this book. In 1991, David Newbatt was commissioned by the Camphill Community in Botton Village to illustrate this theme as part of their work on the subject.Both the lecture by Lindenberg and the illustrations by Newbatt can be an invaluable source of inspiration for those who wish to research further the questions of human nature while looking for ways to live, work and, inwardly develop in relationship to one another.

In the days leading up to Christmas, Mary and Joseph's path to Bethlehem is fraught with difficulties, but, as the stories in this book reveal, a small miracle happens each day. The story of each miracle brings us a little closer to Christmas, until we finally reach the stable in Bethlehem, where the light in the lantern awaits in anticipation of the Christ Child's birth. With twenty-eight stories, this book may be used as an "Advent calendar," with the first week's stories relating to the mineral world, the second to the plant world, followed by the animal kingdom, and finally human beings.

This new publication is a continuation of the book written by Sergei O. Prokofieff, The Mystery of the Resurrection in the Light of Anthroposophy (2008). In studying Rudolf Steiners work, many questions arise that warrant further research, whereas Steiner only suggests a direction in which the subject may be carried forward. This can be seen especially in the field of anthroposophic Christology. When researching this subject, the many questions that arise can lead to being confronted by conundrums. However, studying the work again later, such seemingly impossible questions may suddenly become clear, resulting in completely new and surprising perspectives. Some of these new perspectives will be found in this volume.

This charming book teaches children to knit in clear, easy steps, with accompanying colour photographs.
