There, our candle of consciousness tends to flicker and go out. But spiritual schooling can relight it, so that we learn to perceive realms of our being beyond the restricted self.

This series of lectures on the science of spiritual knowledge begins by addressing an audience in Dornach, Switzerland, where only months earlier his architectural masterpiece, the first Goetheanum, had been destroyed by fire.

Spirits of the Moon live in seclusion, preserving "original wisdom" and reflecting powers connected to sexuality, whereas the Sun creates harmony. Jupiter is "the thinker," whereas spirits on Saturn act as "living memory." Speaking in London,...

He also revealed many details of the karmic streams of the members of the Anthroposophical Society. These volumes constitute an immeasurable contribution to the understanding of reincarnation and karma, and the tasks of the...
