Having died, they stand before our feelings like those who, through life experiences, have traveled to distant lands, whither we can follow them only later. We have therefore nothing to fear but a time of separation. Spiritual science must help us learn to feel and experience this in the most living way we can.\" -- \u003cb\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Living and working with the concepts and exercises in these talks and meditations has changed my life. This is a most practical book. Do what it recommends and you will experience the presence of the dead in your lives. You will know that the community of human beings on both sides of the threshold is not theory, but reality.\" -- \u003cb\u003eChristopher Bamford\u003c\/b\u003e (from the introduction)\u003cp\u003eThe idea of \"working with the dead\"--maintaining, continuing, and enhancing one's relationships with those who have died--was fundamental to Steiner's work. This volume collects a rich harvest of his thoughts on the subject, gathered over many years. Steiner spoke directly from his own experience and formulated various meditation practices and verses that worked for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe learn the usefulness of reading to the dead; the use of verbs (rather than nouns) when we speak with them; the importance of the sacred moments when falling asleep and awakening for asking questions and receiving answers; how our memories of the dead are like \"art\" to them; and of key moods we must cultivate--community with the world, gratitude, confidence in the current of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe learn, too, of the many ways discarnate souls can help us in our earthly work, and of the many ways we can help them. Also included are many of the mantras Steiner gave to his students for connecting with those who have died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis important volume will help those who want to deepen their relationships to the living, to those who have died, or to the spiritual world itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758165328160,"sku":"9780880104623","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a1f5b9c6d6c00b737ae5f9c9dfa28ba2.webp?v=1780119689","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/staying-connected-how-to-continue-your-relationships-with-those-who-have-died-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
