in Science, History, Philosophy & Art

EXPERIENCES FROM THE THRESHOLD AND BEYOND
Understood Through Anthroposophy

• Are Thoresen

‘‘There is a physical world, which we all accept as real, but there is also a spiritual world, which interpenetrates this material world and is its cause and foundation. Between these two worlds exists a threshold that can be felt, seen clairvoyantly, traversed and passed through by anyone with a real desire to do so... At this threshold there is a guardian, whose task is to stop humans from passing across it unprepared...’ – From the Introduction

FOUNDATION STONE

• Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven

During the Christmas Conference of 1923-24 when the Anthroposophical Society was refounded, Rudolf Steiner presented to its members for the first time the Foundation Stone Meditation. On consecutive days during that week he showed how elements of the Meditation could be rebuilt into new meditations - sometimes referred to as 'rhythms' - which could be inwardly practised. Zeylmans van Emmichoven was present at that formative meeting, and lived intensively with these 'rhythms' for more than 30 years. He started speaking about them publicly at a time when they were virtually forgotten. Initially in the Netherlands, and later during his extensive journeys around the world, Zeylmans began to make people aware of the germinating forces contained within the Meditation. This volume bears the fruit of his work on this theme. It remains a seminal book which has been an inspiration to generations of students of anthroposophy.

FOUNDATION STONE MEDITATION
A Key to the Christian Mysteries

• Sergei 0. Prokofieff

Meditative reflection - the strengthening of thinking and feeling through the will - is one of the main methods of experiencing Anthroposophy. "The best path to this goal", says Sergei Prokofieff, "is inner work with the Foundation Stone Meditation, because this meditation is the quintessence of the whole of Anthroposophy, given in meditatively inspired form by means of earthly words."

FREEDOM AS SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY

• Edward Warren

The conception of freedom today is increasingly connected to the realms of economics, politics, religion, and so on. But what really is freedom in its essence, and does it have a spiritual aspect?

FREEDOM THROUGH LOVE
The Search for Meaning in Life
Rudolf Steiner's Philosophy of Freedom

• Nick Thomas

What does it mean to be human? What is knowledge? What is freedom? Philosophy offers answers to these questions, but are its rarefied arguments relevant to people today, or just abstractions? Are we not more preoccupied with day-to-day survival and the unending problems surrounding human relationships?

FREEMASONRY AND RUDOLF STEINER
An Introduction to the Masonic Imagination

• N.V.P. Franklin

Today some six million Freemasons around the world continue to perform their rituals regularly – an enormous legacy of spiritual endeavour, kept largely in secret. In Britain alone there are over 7,000 Lodges, with a quarter of a million members. What is this wealth, this appeal, and how did the philosopher and spiritual scientist Rudolf Steiner reinterpret or reconstruct Freemasonry’s time-worn legacy?
