CASE OF VALENTIN TOMBERG
Anthroposophy or Jesuitism?

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

Born in 1900 in Russia, Valentin Tomberg was for many years an enthusiastic student of Anthroposophy. In 1945, however, he converted to Roman Catholicism and completely turned his back on the former phase of his life. By the time of his death in 1973 he had written two major works Meditations on the Tarot and Covenant of the Heart in which he presents much esoteric knowledge, but now under the spiritual authority of the Catholic Church.

CHALLENGE OF LAZARUS-JOHN, THE
An Esoteric Interpretation

• Richard Seddon

The Gospel of John, distinct from the "synoptic gospels", is the most esoteric and challenging account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. John, whose identity has been much debated, mysteriously refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved". But didn't Jesus love each of the twelve Apostles? Indeed, did he not love all human beings? However, the Gospel says only of Lazarus that Jesus "loved him".

CHILD OF THE COSMOS
Strengthening Our Intrinsic Being

• Karsten Massei

How awake are we to our inner being, our true nature? How much self-knowledge do we really have?

CHILDREN WHO COMMUNICATE BEFORE THEY ARE BORN
Conversations with unborn souls

• Dietrich Bauer • Max Hoffmeister • Hartmut Goerg

"When I had been expecting my daughter for five months, I had a dream. I saw the face of an embryo with large, wide-open eyes. It looked at me with an infinitely profound look, full of peace. It was almost smiling, and without moving its lips I felt it speaking to me. It gave me to understand that it was looking forward to coming to me, to being born and to lie in my arms. This unborn child looked at me for a long time, and its eyes were full of love... When my daughter had been born, she opened her eyes and looked at me, and it was the same look, the same eyes which had looked at me in my dream..." (From Chapter 1.)

CHRIST AND ANTICHRIST
Understanding the Events of Our Time and Recognizing Our Tasks

• Peter Tradowsky

Rudolf Steiner taught that, beginning in the twentieth century, Christ would reappear in the etheric (or 'life') realm of the Earth. And he made two further predictions in relation to that event: firstly that, before such a reappearance could take place, mankind 'must have passed through the encounter with the Beast, which will appear in 1933'; and secondly that, around the end of the twentieth century, 'Sorath' - the Sun Demon - would oppose people's personal vision of the etheric Christ.

CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS
A Path of Inner Development

• Danielle van Dijk

We live in a world characterized by intolerance, war, environmental degradation and economic collapse. In contrast, might it be possible to build a society in which tolerance, love and peace are the abiding principles? In this positive and inspiring book Danielle van Dijk shows how, beginning with our personal development, we can contribute to such a new, transformed world. She describes how we can develop a universal spiritual consciousness - what she refers to as 'Christ Consciousness'.

CLAIRVOYANCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The Tao Impulse in Evolution

• T.H. Meyer

"The Tao ... is something which was considered as a distant goal of the world and of humanity, the highest element which man carried as a germ within him, which would one day develop into a fully opened blossom from the innermost depths of human nature..." - Rudolf Steiner

COGNITIVE YOGA
Making Yourself a New Etheric Body and Individuality

• Yeshayahu (Jesaiah) Ben-Aharon

Are you ready to begin the process of making yourself a new etheric body and individuality?

COGNITIVE YOGA: HOW A BOOK IS BORN
Heavenly Jerusalem and the Mysteries of the Human Body

• Yeshayahu (Jesaiah) Ben-Aharon

‘This little book relates some experiences I had during the spiritual research which was eventually published in my book Cognitive Yoga. Usually I am concerned with communicating the objective results of my research and not what I experienced whilst doing it. But an objective description of what the individual soul undergoes during spiritual research can be valuable to the study of anthroposophy and to those who pursue the spiritual path themselves.’

COLLECTED ARTICLES, 1922-1938
Including Posthumous Publications

• Hermann Beckh

This newly-edited collection of 72 essays provides a unique overview of Hermann Beckh’s notable – and largely overlooked – writing career. Whether in the realm of theology, philosophy, the arts, astrology or esoterica, the articles gathered here, mostly previously unpublished in English, are rare signposts to a Christian initiation grounded in the Rosicrucian tradition and the path of St John’s Gospel. Presented in chronological sequence over a 16 year period – from 1922 to 1938 – and supplemented with biographical notes and introductory material by Neil Franklin and Alan Stott, this volume provides firm ground for a fuller appreciation of Beckh’s prolific output.

COLOUR
Seeing, Experiencing, Understanding

• Ueli Seiler-Hugova

• experimenting with the refraction of light through a prism
• setting out a colour circle with flowers
• building a rainbow instrument
• experiencing darkness with the senses

CONNECTING WITH NATURE
Earth and Humanity – What Unites Us?

• Karsten Massei

Earth and humanity are involved in a fragile interplay of physical and spiritual relationships, the full spectrum of which can only be discerned by higher, finer senses. Based on actual, living discernment rather than dogmatic ideas, Karsten Massei reveals how we can unite with nature, supporting our inner development and everyday lives. We ourselves comprise the path leading to the mysteries of the earth. Through delving into nature’s secrets, paradoxically we are brought back to our own being – our soul-gold, our luminosity, but also to our shadow, lower nature. Deep encounters with the earth are thus self-encounters.

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, THE
Anthroposophical Perspectives

• Judith von Halle

What lies at the root of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the worldwide pandemic it has caused, affecting the health and livelihoods of untold millions of people? What are the deeper, spiritual realities behind COVID-19 and the global turmoil it has left in its trail? In an effort to answer these queries and many others put to her at the start of the pandemic, Judith von Halle composed two letters in March 2020, based on her own spiritual-scientific research. Published in this book together with an additional essay, she addresses questions such as:
Which entities stand behind the virus?
How and why does it affect human beings?
What measures can be taken for prevention and therapy?
What does the crisis mean to individuals and what possibilities does it offer for personal development?

CREATIVE CHOIR, THE
A Holistic Approach to Working with Singers

• James Neilson Graham

Choral singing is enjoying a renaissance, and this timely book contributes to our understanding of what choir work can and should be about. Starting from the idea that education underpins the rehearsal process, James Neilson Graham delves into the theory and practice of working with singers, drawing on the insights of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze in relation to movement and Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström in relation to the voice.

CREATIVE SPIRITUAL RESEARCH
Awakening the Individual Human Spirit

• Coenraad van Houten

'This book... will appeal to those who are in touch with their inner creative impulses, or are motivated but do not know how to begin. The aim is to make this spiritual path possible for every person. It can change the way one relates to life and work - at first simply by an attitude shift, as a questioning, caring human being, taking seriously the spiritual forces that manifest in all outer phenomena.'

CRISIS IN THE ANTHROPOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
and Pathways to the Future

• Sergei O. Prokofieff • Peter Selg

Why is it so difficult actually to understand and implement the "intentions of the Christmas Conference (in Rudolf Steiner's words), which represent a very concrete answer to the Anthroposophical Society's identity crisis"? - Peter Selg

CROSSING THE THRESHOLD
Practical and Spiritual Guidance on Death and Dying
Based on the Work of Rudolf Steiner

• Nicholas Wijnberg • Philip Martyn

When faced with the prospect of death - one's own or someone else's - there is often little time to prepare. This compact booklet is written for anyone who has to deal with death and needs information quickly. It is also for those who wish to be ready in advance.

CYCLE OF THE SEASONS AND THE SEVEN LIBERAL ARTS

• Sergei 0. Prokofieff

Prokofieff provides ideas for establishing a connection between the various arts, the cycle of the seasons and the festivals.

CYCLE OF THE YEAR AS A PATH OF INITIATION, THE
LEADING TO AN EXPERIENCE OF THE CHRIST BEING
An Esoteric Study

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

In ancient times humanity possessed an innate knowledge of the spiritual foundations of existence. Such knowledge could be acquired through inwardly accompanying the cycle of the year and its connected great seasonal festivals. But this instinctive knowledge had to be lost in order for human beings to discover individual freedom. In our time, as Sergei O. Prokofieff demonstrates in this comprehensive work, "... this knowledge must be found anew through the free, light-filled consciousness of the fully developed human personality".

D. N. DUNLOP
A Man of Our Time

• A Biography by T. H. Meyer

D.N. Dunlop (1868-1935) combined remarkable practical and organizational abilities in industry and commerce with gifted spiritual and esoteric capacities. A personal friend of W.B. Yeats and Rudolf Steiner, Dunlop was responsible for founding the World Power Conference (today the World Energy Council), and played leading roles in the Theosophical Society and later the Anthroposophical Society. In his business life he pioneered a cooperative approach towards the emerging global economy.

DEMENTIA
Anthroposophical Perspectives

• Judith von Halle • Translated by Frank Thomas Smith

‘Those involved with this illness professionally or as a relative can learn much from this study, which motivates them to a deepening of anthroposophy. They will also be inspired by how the author brings the illness into the realm of the living impulse of Christ.’ – Michaela Glöckler

DEMETER COOKBOOK
Recipes based on biodynamic ingredients from the kitchen of the Lukas Klinik.

• Hermann Spindler

"The aims of biodynamics are to produce food which nourishes the whole human being and to practise an agriculture which enhances the earth's future..."
"The specific qualities and characteristics of Demeter produce contribute to a form of nutrition which enhances vitality and promotes inner life." - Nikolai Fuchs, Agriculture Section, Goetheanum, Switzerland.

DEMONS AND HEALING
The Reality of the Demonic Threat and the Doppelgänger in the Light of Anthroposophy
Demonology, Christology and Medicine

• Are Thoresen

Genius is a rare commodity that few of us attain. I see the colour-magic painted by Van Gogh, hear the music-magic of Beethoven, imagine touching the exquisite bronze of Rodin’s Thinker. I revere their work but know that I can never create such beauty. So it is with Are’s psychic skills.’ – Phil Rogers, MRCVS, Dublin

DEPARTURE OF THE PERFECTED ONE
The Story of the Buddha’s Transition from Earth to Nirvana
The Mahāparinibbānasutta

• Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Hermann Beckh

Presenting vivid pictures of Gautama Buddha’s life, teaching, suffering, death and subsequent nirvāṇa, the Mahāparinibbānasutta is one of the principal Buddhist texts. In Hermann Beckh’s words, it describes ‘…one of the greatest human beings that ever lived, who stood at the threshold of the super-human – a teacher and leader of humanity.’

DESCENT INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH
on the Anthroposophic Path of Schooling

• Judith von Halle • translated by Matthew Barton

'The contents of this volume have arisen from my own spiritual experience, and do not represent any kind of hypothesis or speculation, except where I expressly say that I am unable to make any definitive statement about a particular event or set of circumstances...' - Judith von Halle

DEVELOPING BIODYNAMIC AGRICULTURE
Reflections on Early Research

• Adalbert Count Keyserlingk

Genetic manipulation, industrial methods of agricultural production and disregard for natural laws have all led in recent times to growing public concern about the safety of food. As a result, there is a corresponding growth of interest in organic methods of farming. Biodynamic agriculture, founded by Rudolf Steiner in the 1920s, is a further development of the organic approach, using special preparations - which work in harmony with cosmic and earthly forces - to enrich the soil and enliven food.
