RIDDLE OF DMITRI, THE
Considered from historical, psychological and spiritual-scientific viewpoints

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

In a private conversation on his deathbed, Rudolf Steiner informed his friend Count Polzer-Hoditz of three spiritual problems that would need to be resolved in the coming years: ‘Firstly, the question of the two Johns [John the Baptist and John the Evangelist]. Secondly: Who was Dmitri? Thirdly: Where did Caspar Hauser come from?’ Tackling these issues, said Steiner, would be of critical importance for humanity’s future. He added: ‘In all three problems it is important that one’s gaze is directed not towards death but towards birth. Where did they come from and with what tasks?’ In Dmitri’s case, Steiner emphasized that the most important thing was to discover what was to have been achieved through him.

RIDDLE OF THE HUMAN ‘I’
An Anthroposophical Study

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

‘Anyone who embarks upon the study of anthroposophy will soon recognise that the mystery of the human ego lies at its very heart. This mystery is one of the central questions of anthroposophical Christology and at the same time forms one of the most difficult cognitive challenges presented by anthroposophy.’ – Sergei O. Prokofieff

RUDOLF STEINER
An Introduction to his Spiritual World View

• Roy Wilkinson

In many ways, Rudolf Steiner is the forgotten genius of recent times. A powerful thinker, who developed an intricate spiritual philosophy based on his ability to research and perceive spiritual dimensions, Steiner is perhaps best known today for his legacy to education, medicine and agriculture. But behind these practical manifestations of his ideas lies a profound teaching, which he called a 'science of the spirit' or 'anthroposophy'. In these wonderfully succinct summaries of Steiner's thought, Roy Wilkinson introduces us to aspects of this spiritual philosophy.

RUDOLF STEINER AND THE FOUNDING OF THE NEW MYSTERIES

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

In this revised and expanded edition of his classic debut, Sergei O. Prokofieff investigates the deepest mysteries of Rudolf Steiner’s life and individuality, from ‘the years of apprenticeship’ and ‘the great Sun period’ to ‘the path of the Teacher of Humanity’ and ‘the birth of the New Mysteries’. He discusses the earthly and supersensible aspects of the first Goetheanum, the implications of the Christmas Conference of 1923-24, and the Foundation Stone meditation that Steiner left as a legacy to members of the Anthroposophical Society.

RUDOLF STEINER IN BRITAIN
A Documentation of his Ten Visits
Volume I, 1902-1921 / Volume II, 1922-1925

• Crispian Villeneuve

Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, spent some five months of his life in Britain, visiting it ten times between the years 1902 and 1924. With the exception of German-speaking countries, the longest time Steiner spent abroad was in Britain, a place he clearly considered as central to his work.

RUDOLF STEINER'S CORE MISSION
The Birth and Development of Spiritual-Scientific Karma Research

• T.H. Meyer

Rudolf Steiner's core mission, repeatedly delayed due to the incapacity of colleagues, was to pursue contemporary spiritual-scientific research into the phenomena of reincarnation and karma. This stimulating book describes the winding biographical path this mission took, and in particular focuses on the mystery of Rudolf Steiner's connection with the influential medieval philosopher and theologian, Thomas Aquinas. Utilizing numerous archival sources and publications, Thomas Meyer reveals many facts relating to Steiner's core mission, and shows the critical roles played by Wilhelm Anton Neumann and Karl Julius Schröer in its genesis and development.

RUDOLF STEINER'S ENDOWMENT
Centenary Reflections on his Attempt for a Theosophical Art and Way of Life, 15 December 1911

• Virginia Sease

Among Rudolf Steiner's many initiatives that evoked visible, sustained impulses, there was one that did not develop as planned - his so-called "endowment" of 1911. This was his attempt to create a "Society for a Theosophical Art and Way of Life", that would work "under the protectorate of Christian Rosenkreutz". Rudolf Steiner envisaged a grouping of individuals who were "...deeply moved by a spiritual power like the one that lived earlier in Christianity". Through the forming of such a Society, he sought to enable a true spiritual culture to arise on earth - a culture that would "engender artists in every domain of life".

RUDOLF STEINER'S FOUNDATION STONE MEDITATION
and the Destruction of the Twentieth Century

• Peter Selg

"People who practise esoteric exercises grow spiritually into the future; they experience in themselves what will one day come about, and what they experience in this way is what we know as the higher worlds. These represent future conditions of humankind." (Rudolf Steiner, Munich 1907)

RUDOLF STEINER'S PATH OF INITIATION AND THE MYSTERY OF THE EGO
and The Foundations of Anthroposophical Methodology

• Sergei O. Prokofieff • Rudolf Steiner

Two lectures in Bologna: on 31st March 2011 at the International Conference to Mark the Centenary of Rudolf Steiner's Lecture in Bologna, and on 8th April 1911 at the Fourth International Philosophy Congress.

RUDOLF STEINER'S RESEARCH INTO KARMA
and the Mission of the Anthroposophical Society

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

'Research into the sphere of karma ... forms the basis of the modern spiritual science of anthroposophy. For only by learning to understand these laws can the human being realize how spiritual forces work simultaneously in man and the cosmos, and link the two into a higher unity.'

RUDOLF STEINER'S SCULPTURAL GROUP
A Revelation of the Spiritual Purpose of Humanity and the Earth

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

"After Rudolf Steiner's experience of the Christ mystery, which he describes in his autobiography as 'having stood in spirit before the Mystery of Golgotha', the revealing of this mystery to all people of good will - not only in the form of knowledge but also through art, which makes it accessible to direct perception - was one of the most important aims of his life." - Sergei O. Prokofieff

RUDOLF STEINER, FRAGMENT OF A SPIRITUAL BIOGRAPHY

• Sergei O. Prokofieff

Underlying Sergei O. Prokofieff’s life’s work was a fundamental research-theme to which he returned to repeatedly: the individuality of Rudolf Steiner as manifested through his past incarnations on Earth. Beginning in 1982, inspired by a visit to an exhibition on The Epic of Gilgamesh, Prokofieff planned a full-scale spiritual biography with the intention of finding an answer to the question: Who is Rudolf Steiner?

RUDOLF STEINER: THE BRITISH CONNECTION
Elements from his Early Life and Cultural Development

• Crispian Villeneuve

Following his major work on Rudolf Steiner's ten visits to Britain, Crispian Villeneuve studies Steiner's relationship to the British Isles in the 40 or so years before those visits took place. The theme of Steiner's early connection to British culture leads inevitably to the broader topic of his relationship to modern science. This in turn highlights the polarity and tension between the Goethean philosophic view that arises from Middle Europe, and the 'Baconian' perspective emanating from Western Europe.

SCHOOL OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCE, THE
An Orientation and Introduction

• Johannes Kühl, Bodo von Plato, et al.

In 1924 Rudolf Steiner established the School of Spiritual Science within the framework of the newly refounded Anthroposophical Society. This volume represents a first attempt at describing the character, intentions and working methods of this pioneering School, and its place within modern cultural life. It describes the School's three prerequisites for membership and studies its connection with the Anthroposophical Society and movement. It also examines the role of its 'First Class' in relation to Rudolf Steiner's original intentions, and the responsibilities of its representatives.

SCIENCE BETWEEN SPACE AND COUNTERSPACE
Exploring the Significance of Negative Space

• Nick Thomas

The scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner discovered that besides 'ordinary' space there is 'negative' space, or 'counterspace', which relates to a holistic conception of the world. Steiner suggested that it was important to understand counterspace as a necessary supplement to the conventional approach. His colleague George Adams found a way of describing counterspace through mathematics.
