Radical, thought-provoking, and indeed mind-boggling, it leads to a completely new way of looking at what it means to be human--a spiritual being in a universe that itself is not just physical, but psychic and spiritual as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese three previously untranslated lectures are a masterly introduction to what Rudolf Steiner means by \"Anthroposophy.\" They explain why Steiner describes this path--which means literally \"the wisdom of the human being\"--as one that \"unites what is spiritual in the human being with what is spiritual in the universe.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner begins by describing what happens when we die. He shows the relationship between our physical life on Earth and the etheric, astral, and spiritual life of the cosmos. He also explains how physical lives are completely interwoven with cosmic existence, and how the \"miss-ing links\" in evolution are spiritual in nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner then demonstrates what he calls the \"dilettantism\" and \"soullessness\" of mainstream psychology. He points out that, since the second half of the nineteenth century, the idea of the soul has been lost and that, consequently, understanding of our inner lives is without a sure foundation. A very different view emerges, however, from a truly spiritual perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the third lec-ture, Steiner takes as his guide our three states of being--waking, dreaming, and sleeping. He describes in detail what happens in these three states and how each is bound up with our lives as physical, psychic, and spiritual beings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the profound insights in this book, the world becomes a much larger, richer, and more exciting place to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8 x 5.03 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 25, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758167720224,"sku":"9780880105064","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/774f8f849e497d559f1d147656a01936.webp?v=1780119752","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/what-is-anthroposophy-three-spiritual-perspectives-on-self-knowledge-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
