ANGEL THINKING
Consciousness, Meditation and Human Destiny

• Steffen Hartmann

Over the course of the last decades, there has been an increasing demand by people for spiritual experience – whether it involves elemental beings, past incarnations or encounters with angels. But how should we distinguish between reality and illusion in such perceptions, particularly when efforts are often focused on instantaneous experience? Is it really possible to build a scientific foundation for metaphysics today? And what role might thinking play in such a truly contemporary spirituality?

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.

FROM THE HISTORY OF THE DORNACH HILL...
Marie Steiner-von Sivers and the Development of the Arts at the Goetheanum
Reminiscences, Biography, Documentation –1902-1948

• Angela Locher

Focusing on Marie Steiner-von Sivers’ distinctive collaboration with Rudolf Steiner, From the History of the Dornach Hill... offers an engaging, lively narrative of the early decades of the anthroposophical movement. Utilizing eye-witness accounts and primary sources, Angela Locher creates vivid images of the developing arts at the Goetheanum – in particular eurythmy, speech formation and the dramatic arts – but also describes many fascinating aspects of general anthroposophical history. The latter include the period of cooperation with the Theosophical Society; the design and building of the first and second Goetheanums; travels, tours and visits overseas with Rudolf Steiner; the pivotal Christmas Conference of 1923/4; stage performances including the Mystery Dramas; and Rudolf Steiner’s unexpected death and its aftermath. Locher structures her absorbing study around the life of Marie Steiner – from her birth in 1867 and childhood in Russia to her eventual passing in Switzerland in 1948.

Deriving from the Indian Atharvaveda, one of the oldest books of mankind, Hymn to the Earth forms part of the extensive Vedic scriptures of Hinduism.

‘The twenty-first century is the second, middle century of the three centuries of the present age of Michael, and it is the most decisive one.
