Rudolf Steiner | Die geistige Führung des Menschen und der Menschheit | In dieser 1911 erschienenen Arbeit lässt Steiner uns an seinen Betrachtungen der zwei Jesusknaben und des Verhältnisses von Jesus von Nazareth zu Christus teilhaben.
Rudolf Steiner's fundamental handbook for spiritual and personal development continues to grow more modern each day. His methods nevertheless remain clearly distinguishable from the many others that are generally available today. First, Steiner's path of spiritual growth is based on the clarity of thought normally associated with scientific research. Rather than denying clear thinking, his aim is to extend it beyond its present limitations. Second, Steiner recognizes as all genuine disciplines always have that the path to spiritual experience is arduous and dangerous, calling for tremendous self-control in thinking, speech, and action. The human being is a unity, and we cannot develop real knowledge without a corresponding development of feeling and volition

The mystics Steiner writes about in this book were early giants in the modern art of illumined self-knowledge. Their ways of seeing the world, God, and themselves foreshadowed all that we practice now in the best of meditation, both East and West. Here, you can read about their essential passion for unity, their practice of intensification of perception, and their ever-fresh insights into the process of knowing itself. Contents: Foreword by Christopher Bamford Preface to the 1923 Edition Introduction: Mystics, Natural Science, and the Modern World (by Rudolf Steiner) Meister Eckhart The Friendship with God: Johannes Tauler Cardinal Nicolas of Cusa Agrippa of Nettesheim & Theophrastus Paracelsus Valentin Weigel & Jacob Boehme Giordano Bruno & Angelus Silesius Epilogue Afterword: About the Author, the People, and the Background of This Book (by Paul M. Allen) Preface to First Edition 1901 Steiner immerses us in the evolving stream of these eleven mystics who appeared in central Europe between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries. They managed to resolve the conflict between inner perceptions and the new seeds of modern science and human individuality. Based on the lives of those mystics and on his own spiritual insight, Steiner shows how their ideas can illuminate and preserve our true human nature today. Rudolf Steiner ends his book with a quotation from the Cherubinic Wanderer, a collection of sayings gathered by Angelus Silesius: "Dear Friend, this is enough for now. If you wish to read more, go and become the writing and the essence yourself." A previous edition was titled Mysticism at the dawn of the Modern Age.
The Philosophy of Freedom
A Modern Philosophy of Life Developed by Scientific Methods

Exploring the nature of human freedom, Rudolf Steiner's work delves into the philosophical question of whether individuals possess free will. The text is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the prerequisites for freedom of thought, discussing knowledge and perception, while the second addresses the conditions necessary for freedom of action. Originally published in German in 1894, this English edition is a facsimile of the 1916 version and remains a significant contribution to philosophical discourse on autonomy and spiritual activity.
Ob es der Tod ist, das Leben der Seele in der Zeit oder die Bewusstseinsschwelle zwischen Wachen und Träumen, Träumen und Schlafen – in dreifacher Hinsicht fühlt sich der Mensch vor Grenzen gestellt, deren Überwindung ihn erst aufklären kann über sein eigentliches Wesen. Als Antwort auf die angesichts dieser Grenzen bestehende Krise unter den Menschen umreißt Rudolf Steiner im Juli 1923 drei fundamentale Perspektiven der Anthroposophie: die physische, die seelische und die geistige. Sie lassen die Grenzen durchsichtig werden für das Geschehen nach dem Tod, für das Bedeutungsvolle in der Zeit, für das Wirkliche im Bewusstsein des Menschen. Was Rudolf Steiner an methodischen Ansätzen und inhaltlichen Aussagen über die physische, seelische und geistige Existenz des Menschen entwickelt, weist weit über das 20. Jahrhundert hinaus ins dritte Jahrtausend. Seine Erörterungen helfen, die Grenzen des menschlichen Lebens und Bewusstseins zu überwinden. Die drei Vorträge Rudolf Steiners vom 20., 21. und 22. Juli 1923 sind dem Band der im Rudolf Steiner Verlag, Dornach erscheinenden Gesamtausgabe entnommen.
Rudolf Steiner's superb thesis provides deep insight into spiritual science, and the history of mankind as viewed through the philosophy of the anthroposophy movement he founded. An Outline of Esoteric Science attempts to reconcile mankind's spiritual being with the scientific exactitude which had emerged among scholars in the 19th century. Steiner lays out the spiritual realms which are invisible to us, attempting to use a defined precision similar to that which had emerged in science. In the final section, this book refers to the spiritual development and contemplation necessary for individuals to see the spiritual realms and planes which comprise existence and the universe. The means by which individuals may train themselves introspectively to see are detailed by Steiner, whose theosophical philosophy was, by the time of this book's publication in 1909, well-developed.

The book presents a comprehensive exploration of spiritual science, detailing esoteric realities and the milestones of human development. It invites readers to engage in thoughtful study, offering insights into the higher worlds that can be revisited for deeper understanding.
