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.

SCHOOL OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCE, THE
An Introduction, Second Edition

• C. Kaliks • C. Haid • et al

In a thoroughly revised and updated second edition, this important volume describes the character, intentions and working methods of the pioneering School of Spiritual Science, as established by Rudolf Steiner within the framework of the re-founded Anthroposophical Society in 1924. It explains the School’s prerequisites for membership and examines the role of the First Class and its representatives’ responsibilities.

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.

SEAT OF THE SOUL, THE
Rudolf Steiner’s Seven Planetary Seals
A Biological Perspective

• Yvan Rioux

‘There is one temple in the Universe and it is the body of Man.’ – Novalis

SECRETS OF ESOTERIC CHRISTIANITY
The Two Marys, the Two Families of Jesus, and the Incarnation of Christ

• Gilbert Childs

For many years theologians have agonized over the contradictory accounts of the birth of Jesus as given in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. How can they be reconciled, given their utterly different nature and contents? Demonstrating a remarkably erudite approach and authoritative knowledge of biblical sources and other primary texts, Gilbert Childs throws new light on arcane disputes by revealing some of the secrets of esoteric Christianity - in particular the mystery of the two Marys and the two families of Jesus. Such secrets, including the meaning of the 'virginal conception', have lain hidden and protected in Mystery Centres and by initiates over the ages, although in modern times they can be spoken of openly.

SECRETS OF THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS AND THE GRAIL BLOOD
The Mystery of Transformation

• Judith von Halle

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...

SEXUALITY, PARTNERSHIP AND MARRIAGE
from a Spiritual Perspective

• Wolfgang Gädeke

Sexuality, partnership and marriage present us with some of the most difficult challenges and questions of our time. With society's attitudes in constant flux, some of these questions appear to be almost unanswerable. What is a healthy relationship? What role should a partner - whether male or female - play? How should sexuality play into a relationship? Are marriage and monogamy still relevant in the twenty-first century?

SHAPING GLOBALIZATION
Civil Society, Cultural Power and Threefolding

• Nicanor Perlas

‘Nicanor Perlas has written a brilliant exposition of a new viewpoint in social theory and practice, one that applies to all of us in our everyday lives.’ — Paul H. Ray, author of The Cultural Creatives

SOPHIA MYSTERY IN OUR TIME, THE
The Birth of Imagination

• Mario Betti

"The confrontation with evil manifests as a battle taking place on many levels, the outcome of which lies in the hands of each one of us alive today. The most important requisite is the creating of a space within us in which a new consciousness, the Imagination, will gradually be able to arise. Much in the future depends on whether a sufficient number of people succeed in reaching this level of experience..." - Maria Betti

SOURCE OF SPEECH, THE
Word, Language and the Origin of Speech – From Indology to Anthroposophy

• Hermann Beckh

‘An abundance of books [by Beckh] came into existence whose significance perhaps will only be properly appreciated in the future.’ – Emil Bock (1959)
