These lectures have been published under the title: Education and Modern Spiritual Life. The spiritual values inherent in the education of children is the main thrust of these lectures. In addition to education, Steiner connects the results of a pedagogy based on spiritual insights and values with a mature, responsible, adult way of life. The negative results of not incorporating ethical, spiritual ideas and values in education is contrasted to the results of a positive, spiritual methodology. Steiner also points to the practice and realizations in daily life of a living proof of his ideas: the founding of the first Waldorf School in 1919. 232pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-262-4, Paperback, AP #95 ISBN 0-85440-261-6, Hardbound, AP #96 Title: A Road to Self-knowledge and The Threshold of The Spiritual World Rudolf Steiner (Written 1912 and 1913; GA 16 and 17) Translated by H. Collison, revised by M. Cotterell In this long-awaited reprint Steiner guides the reader's awakening soul forces through eight meditations.

In addition, clear and succinct summary chapters are interspersed in between the longer and more detailed sections, making this a very easily accessible book. In A Road to Self-Knowledge, Steiner guides the reader's awakening soul forces through eight meditations. Each meditation describes clairvoyance and its development and provides exercises to help the reader achieve it. In The Threshold of the Spiritual World, he describes various spiritual experiences, thus offering continually fresh points of view on the supersensible world. Here again, Steiner also presents clear suggestions for the reader's own practice of meditation. 174pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-291-8, Paperback, AP #1156 Title: A Spiritual Approach to Social Issues Meditative Thinking and the Threefold Social Order Rudolf Steiner (11 lectures: Dornach, January 5 - May 6 1920; GA 334) Translated by Joe Reuter Out of his passionate engagement with the social problems of the modern age, Steiner here discusses the political, economic, and social conflicts of our time as symptoms of faulty thinking. His analysis of economic crises, unemployment, and political uprisings unmasks their true nature as signs of the need for new thinking. An indictment of materialist politics and economics, these lectures show how anthroposophy and its thinking can lead to a renewal of society and true freedom for the individual. In view of the current economic and political difficulties in the world, Steiner's insights come as a fresh breeze of air, awakening us to responsibility and hope. His comments on the Russian communist state - seventy years before its decline - are especially poignant. In forceful, clear language Steiner passionately presents his vision of the threefold social order, an order based on free will and spiritual insight and therefore appropriate for free individuals in our time. In addition to these brilliant lectures, this volume also contains exciting discussions between Steiner and his audience. 120pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-358-2, Paperback, AP #809 ISBN 0-88010-359-0, Hardbound, AP #810 Title: An Esoteric Cosmology Rudolf Steiner and Edouard Schure (18 lectures: Paris, May - June 1906) This volume consists of notes by Schure of the 18 lectures Steiner gave in Paris in 1906.

Steiner presents a survey of the evolution of the cosmos, earth and humanity in a comprehensive way that he later expanded into his book An Outline of Occult Science. 127pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-047-2, Hardbound, AP #1575 Title: An Introduction to Eurythmy Rudolf Steiner (16 introductions to Eurythmy performances: 1919 - 1924; GA 277a) "We are trying to show from intuitive perception the inclinations toward movement, the seeds of movement that are manifest in the human larynx and its neighboring organs when someone speaks ... or when he produces musical sounds. If one had some artificial device by which one could see at such a moment how the air mass is stirred to rhythmic vibration by the incipient movements of the larynx and its neighboring organs, he would realize ... how the entire man is revealed through it .... Eurythmy is intended to be speech that has become visible." 108pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-042-7, Paperback, AP #746 Title: An Introduction to Waldorf Education Rudolf Steiner (Written in 1919; GA 24) 10pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-137-7 Booklet, AP #1006 Title: An Outline of Occult Science Rudolf Steiner (Written 1910; GA 13) This masterwork of esotericism places humanity at the heart of the vast, invisible processes of cosmic evolution. Descriptions of the different members of the human being in themselves and in relation to sleep and death are followed by a profound investigation of cosmic evolution and the beings that direct it. There follows a detailed, practical guide to the methods, or exercises, by which such "initiation" knowledge may be attained. 388pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-91014-275-0, Paperback, AP #113 Title: Ancient Myths: Their Meaning and Connection with Evolution Rudolf Steiner (7 lectures: Dornach, Jan. 1918; GA 180) Starting with the myths of Osiris and Isis and the Greek gods, Steiner shows how humanity has been "deserted" by the Gods and made independent. But it is only in our thinking that the Gods have deserted us. They are still present and active in other realms; and we can have access to them through Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition. 121pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-91992-407, Paperback, AP #6 Title: Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts Rudolf Steiner (185 articles (short): 1924 - 1925; GA 26) This volume contains a collection of short essays by Steiner for the members of the Anthroposophical Society. They were written near the end of Steiner's life and in a way summarize, in highly concentrated form, the whole of anthroposophy. Each essay ends with a short summary of its contents and these are known as the "leading thoughts." The leading thoughts are mantras and can be used quite fruitfully for meditation. 220pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-268-3, Hardbound, AP #1227 Title: Anthroposophy and Christianity Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Norrkoeping, July 13, 1914) Following an excellent description of spiritual science as a training of consciousness (practical exercises are given), Steiner shows how, rather than establishing a "new" religion, spiritual science confirms Christianity as the universal, cosmic path of human evolution. 26pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #1024 Title: Anthroposophy and the Inner Life Rudolf Steiner (9 lectures: Dornach, Jan. - Feb. 1924; GA 234) Given shortly after the Christmas Foundation Meeting, these lectures reformulate the content of anthroposophy from a condensed, personal, experiential point of view. What Steiner presented in Theosophy, in a descriptive, systematic way, is complemented in these lectures with great intensity and profundity, challenging us to cultivate a living experience of the spiritual nature of ourselves and the world. Previously titled Anthroposophy: An Introduction 144pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-387-6, Paperback., AP #697 Title: Anthroposophy and the Social Question Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #575 Title: Approaches to Anthroposophy Rudolf Steiner (2 lectures: Basel, Jan. and Oct. 1916; GA 35) These lectures provide an excellent introduction to some of the leading themes of anthroposophy. Steiner carefully corrects certain misunderstandings or caricatures that had arisen regarding his spiritual-scientific research and demonstrates how anthroposophy has nothing whatever to do with nebulous mysticism or unhealthy spiritualism; nor is it simply a revival of ancient esoteric teachings. Rather, it is a genuinely modern spiritual teaching for western humanity that builds upon the achievements of science and develops its exact methodology further into the investigation of spiritual realities through the awakening of higher organs of perception. 66pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 1-85584-151-7, Paperback, AP #1646 Title: Art as Seen in the Light of Mystery Wisdom Rudolf Steiner (8 lectures: Dornach, Dec. 1914 - Jan. 1915; GA 275) Art is one of the healthiest, most direct ways to arm and strengthen ourselves against the harmful influences of modern life. Steiner depicts here the transforming power of art with chapters on technology and art, impulses of transformation in artistic evolution, the moral experience of color and tone, and working with sculptural architecture. 184pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-416-3, Paperback, AP #988 Title: Ascension and Pentecost (Festivals and Their Meaning III) Rudolf Steiner (6 lectures (selected): various sources) This volume is a tremendous help for participating in the deep spiritual realities behind the Ascension and Pentecost festivals. Throughout his life Steiner talked about a modern spiritually conscious approach to the festivals of the year. Here is a compilation of what he had to say at various times about Ascension and Pentecost. 87pp, Rudolf Steiner Press Title: Aspects of Human Evolution Rudolf Steiner (8 lectures: Berlin, May - July 1917; GA 176) This volume goes deeply into questions of the soul's evolving, changing needs for development. Steiner shows how the natural development of the soul stops at about the age of 27. After that we no longer inwardly grow unless we bring it about ourselves. Steiner also explains that a comprehension of how we arrive at aesthetic assessments is dependent on an understanding of the higher members of the human being and their relationships to the lower members. This volume along with Karma of Materialism completes the entire German volume GA 176. 190pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-252-17, Paperback, AP #1182 ISBN 0-88010-251-9, Hardbound, AP #1183 Title: At the Gates of Spiritual Science Rudolf Steiner (14 lectures: Stuttgart, Aug. - Sept. 1906; GA 95) These early lectures are a good introduction to the ideas and content of anthroposophy. Steiner covers a wide range of topics including the being of man, the three worlds, life after death, karma, the evolutionary epochs, and the path of inner development. This book is an excellent complement to the basic books. 158pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-135-0, Paperback, AP #1101 ISBN 0-88010-224-1, Hardbound, AP #1131 Title: Awakening to Community Rudolf Steiner (10 lectures: Dornach and Stuttgart, Jan. - Mar. 1923; GA 257) These lectures, given after the burning of the first Goetheanum and before the refounding of the Anthroposophical Society, form an important part of the history of the Anthroposophical Movement. Steiner calls for a "searching of conscience" and without reservation makes an assessment of the Movement "free from illusions." He explains that in anthroposophical communities we can experience our first awakening to the spirit in our encounters with others and describes how the "reversed cultus" forms the foundation for a new community life. 178pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-91014-261-0, Hardbound, AP #16 Title: Background to the Gospel of St. Mark Rudolf Steiner (13 lectures: Berlin, Munich, Hanover and Coblenz, 1910 - 1911; GA 124) These lectures constitute an important chapter in Steiner's commentary on Christianity. They stress the relationship of the Gospel of Mark to the "language of the macrocosm" and cover such topics as the two main streams of post-Atlantean civilization, the tasks of our epoch, the laws of rhythm in the domain of soul and spirit, and much more. 220pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-145-8, Paperback, AP #1018 Title: Balance In Teaching Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #598 Title: Beekeeping - Nine Lectures on Bees Rudolf Steiner (9 lectures: Dornach, 1923; GA 351) The unconscious wisdom contained in the beehive - the hive is in reality permeated by love - and how this relates to the human experiences of health, civilization, and the cosmos is amply described in this unique book. 104pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-246-7, Paperback, AP #102 Title: Brotherhood and the Struggle for Existence Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #26 Title: Building Stones for an Understanding of the Mystery of Golgotha Rudolf Steiner (10 lectures: Berlin, March - May 1917; GA 175) Steiner endeavors here to bring about an understanding and inner experience of the most decisive event in the history of humanity, the Mystery of Golgotha. He shows how all the different streams in history come together in the deed of Christ. As Steiner explains, whether a trend in the course of evolution is healthy or not can be determined by its relation to the Christ-Impulse. 240pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-263-2, Paperback, AP #1026 Title: Calendar of the Soul Rudolf Steiner Translated by Liselotte Mann and William Mann This translation is the fruit of many years' work by Liselotte and William Mann on Steiner's fifty-two meditative verses for following the course of the year. 112pp, HP ISBN 1-86989-025-6, Hardbound, AP #1635 Title: Chance, Providence, and Necessity Rudolf Steiner (8 lectures: Dornach, Aug. - Sept. 1915; GA 163) Chance, necessity, and providence are related to love, loyalty and grace. Into this central theme Steiner introduces a fascinating description of the nature spirits. He also relates his penetrating insights into the question of the death of children and the significant role this plays in earthly culture and the spiritual worlds. 147pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-262-4, Paperback, AP #1270 ISBN 0-88010-261-6, Hardbound, AP #1271 Title: Christ and the Human Soul Rudolf Steiner (4 lectures: Norrkoeping, July 12 - 16 1914; GA 155) In these lectures Steiner shows how the influence of Christ has been operative from the beginning of human existence, long before the inception of the Christian religion. The ancient mysteries brought about will and wisdom; Christ brings love and individuality. The lectures impress on us how vital it is for our time that we strive to imbue our feeling life with the Christ Spirit. 81pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-013-3, Paperback, AP #837 Title: Christ and the Spiritual World and the Search for the Holy Grail Rudolf Steiner (6 lectures: Leipzig, Dec. 1913 - Jan. 1914; GA 149) Steiner examines the historical pattern of humanity's thoughts and spiritual development in its search for the meaning of existence. He discusses the Sibyls, Zarathustra, astrology in Egypt, the poets and philosophers in Greece and Rome, and the Hebrew prophets. These lectures culminate in the esoteric background to the Parsival story and the Holy Grail, and a discussion of how to behold the picture of the Holy Grail by reading the stellar script in the sky at Easter. 144pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-425-2, Paperback, AP #838 Title: Christ in Relation to Lucifer and Ahriman Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Linz, May 18, 1915) In this lecture on the sculptured group of Christ between Lucifer and Ahriman, Steiner stresses the position of Christ as equipoised between polar forces, this being a symbol of the human role on earth. He then relates the group to the historical context of the First World War, seeing a parallel between Christ's central, equalizing role and Central Europe's mission in the conflict. According to Steiner, World War I was the earthly expression of a struggle between the Luciferic forces of the East and the Ahrimanic forces of the West. The rest of the lecture develops this potent theme. 40pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #31 Title: Christianity as Mystical Fact and the Mysteries of Antiquity Rudolf Steiner (Written 1902; GA 8) This early, fundamental work shows how Christianity arose out of what was prepared in the pre-Christian Mysteries. Christianity, however, was not merely a further development of what existed in these Mysteries but something unique and independent. From an examination of the ancient Mysteries, Steiner goes on to discuss the Gospels, the Lazarus miracle, the Apocalypse of St. John, Jesus and his historical background, and more. This book is a foundation for what Steiner later more fully develops concerning the nature of Christ and Christianity. 194pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-021-9, Paperback, AP #1149 Title: Christianity in Human Evolution Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Berlin, February 15, 1909) In this lecture Steiner describes how the incarnation of the greatest avatar being ever to live on earth, Christ, gave his etheric and astral bodies, and his I, to cosmic-human evolution. Knowing this allows us to understand the history of the universe and the history of Christianity in a new way. 24pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #35 Title: Christmas Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #648 Title: Christmas (Festivals and Their Meaning I) Rudolf Steiner (8 lectures (selected): various sources) This volume is a tremendous help for participating in the deep spiritual realities behind the Christmas festival.

Includes nine lectures not in the previous edition. 191pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 1-85584-116-9, Paperback, AP #981 Title: Community Life, Inner Development, Sexuality and the Spiritual Teacher Rudolf Steiner Introduction by Christopher Schaefer (7 lectures: Dornach, September 10 - 16, 1915; GA 253) This collection of lectures contains Steiner's strongest statements on the issues of human relationships in a spiritual community such as the Anthroposophical Society. Occasioned by an unfortunate "scandal" involving people influenced by psycho-analysis, these lectures present Steiner's comprehensive assessment of Freud's work and of psychoanalysis as a whole. As Steiner shows, our physical life, including human sexuality, has spiritual roots; looking to sexuality for the explanation of human behavior is therefore looking in the wrong direction. Steiner makes clear that becoming part of a spiritual community, such as the Anthroposophical Society, entails special responsibilities, indeed, a new way of being. 192pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-354-X, Paperback, AP #145 ISBN 0-88010-355-8, Hardbound, AP #176 Title: The Constitution of the School of Spiritual Science Rudolf Steiner (7 articles (short): Jan. 18 and June 7, 1924; GA 260a) These essays are on the founding and development of the Anthroposophical Society and the School for Spiritual Science. 79pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Paperback, AP #38 Title: Correspondence and Documents 1901 - 1925 Rudolf Steiner (GA 262) This volume consists primarily of letters written by Rudolf Steiner to Marie Steiner between 1901 and 1925. They provide unique insight both into the development of the anthroposophical movement and the relationship between Rudolf and Marie Steiner. It is nearly impossible to give a review of the content of these letters as they cover everything from the esoteric view of evolution and human development to problem personalities in the groups and how to deal with them as well as many discussions of organizational details, such as how to get a brochure printed. In addition to Rudolf Steiner's letters, there are a few written by Marie Steiner along with some documents, such as the numerous wills Steiner wrote. 340pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-207-1, Paperback, AP #1294 ISBN 0-88010-208-4, Hardbound, AP #1289 Title: Cosmic Memory Rudolf Steiner (20 lectures: various cities, 1904 - 1908; GA 11) These early lectures reconstruct events between the origin of the earth and the beginning of recorded history and include a core investigation of the origins, achievements and fate of the Atlanteans and Lemurians. These remarkable "lost" root races developed the first concepts of "good" and "evil," manipulated the forces of nature, laid the groundwork of all human legal and ethical systems, and defined and nurtured the distinctive yet complementary powers of men and women that brought humankind, many centuries ago, to its highest artistic, intellectual, and spiritual attainments. 262pp, Garber or Harper & Row ISBN 0-89345-227-0, Paperback, AP #499 Title: Cosmosophy, Vol. I Rudolf Steiner (11 lectures: Dornach, Sept. 23 - Oct. 16, 1921; GA 207) ISBN None, Photocopy, AP #1550 Title: Creative Speech Rudolf Steiner and Marie Steiner-von Sivers (Essays and notes; GA 280) Aphoristic records of courses on the cultivation of speech as an art.

Beginning with the general principles of curative education and the relationships of the four bodies of the human being, Steiner then discusses particular cases such as: epilepsy, hydrocephalus, infantilism, adenoids, kleptomania, the autistic child, and more. A great variety of remedies and treatments are discussed along with many details of their effects on the different organs. These lectures constitute one of Steiner's major contributions to the treatment of children "in need of special care." 224pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-244-6, Paperback, AP #600 Title: Curative Eurythmy Rudolf Steiner (8 lectures: Dornach and Stuttgart, 1921 - 1922; GA 315) These lectures "present the first seeds of a curative eurythmy." Though primarily intended for eurythmists concerned with therapy, they will also interest anyone concerned with the rhythmic interplay between physiology, the formative forces, and language. 132pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-398-1, Paperback, AP #871 Title: Deeper Insights into Education: The Waldorf School Approach Rudolf Steiner (3 lectures: Oct. 1923; GA 302a) Speaking to the teachers at the first Waldorf school in Stuttgart, Steiner addresses three issues: a living synthesis of gymnast, rhetorician, and professor as a necessity for successful teaching. 62pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-067-2, Paperback, AP #703 Title: Deeper Secrets of Human History in the Light of the Gospel of St. Matthew Rudolf Steiner (3 lectures: Berlin, Nov. 1909; GA 117) These lectures examine the four aspects of Christ as portrayed in the four Gospels with special emphasis on the Gospel of Matthew. The topics discussed include the mission of the ancient Hebrews and the preparations for the understanding of the Christ Mystery. 78pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-132-6, Paperback, AP #1019 Title: Destinies of Individuals and of Nations Rudolf Steiner (14 lectures: Berlin, 1914 - 1915; GA 157) Steiner started each of these lectures, given during the war years, with a verse for those who had died. He begins this volume with a consideration of the destinies of nations from a spiritual point of view. He goes on to consider the Christ-Impulse and the Michaelic Spirits that serve Him. Also included are lectures on the three stages of imaginative knowledge, the rhythm of sleeping and waking, the relation between our physical and etheric bodies, and the prophetic nature of dreams. The last lecture takes up the question of the cosmic meaning of our sense impressions and of our thinking, feeling, and willing. 258pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-205-5, Paperback, AP #1176 ISBN 0-88010-206-3, Hardbound, AP #1177 Title: Discussions with Teachers Rudolf Steiner (15 discussions: Stuttgart, Aug. - Sept. 1919; GA 295) This book contains a wealth of advice given by Rudolf Steiner to the teachers of the first Waldorf school in connection with their specific classroom situations. It is filled with many practical suggestions, based on Steiner's extraordinary insight into child development, on how to approach history, geography, botany, zoology, mathematics, religion, and more. Included are practical suggestions on how to work with the temperaments. Together with Study of Man and Practical Advice to Teachers, these discussions form the basic training material given by Steiner to the teachers of the first Waldorf school. 176pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-404-X, Paperback, AP #696 Title: Earthly Death and Cosmic Life Rudolf Steiner (7 lectures: Berlin, 1918; GA 181) Here Steiner presents the results of spiritual research into the metamorphoses of the human physical body in the course of successive incarnations. 69pp, GC ISBN 0-83342-020-8, Paperback, AP #1331 Title: Earthly Knowledge and Heavenly Wisdom Rudolf Steiner (9 lectures: Dornach, February, 1923; GA 221) Great differences exist between the "Know yourself" of the ancient mystery centers and that injunction today. Steiner makes very clear the differences of consciousness that exist between then and now. What used to be achieved after death is now achieved in life. To reach higher stages of development after death we must become fully human in earthly life. This was not always so; there has been a change. For in the center of human evolution is the Christ event: in our time we must experience the Christ in ourselves as light, life, and love. For this, the I must be brought into pure thinking, it must work properly out of the etheric body - or else something pathological arises. Adopting the appropriate cognitive path, we become citizens of the universe, rather than hermits of the earth. 190pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-294-2, Paperback, AP #1463 ISBN 0-88010-295-0, Hardbound, AP #1464 Title: Earthly and Cosmic Man Rudolf Steiner (9 lectures: Berlin, Oct. 1911 - June 1912; GA 133) These lectures concentrate on laws of human destiny and reincarnation in the development of the free, self-conscious, independent human personality. 176pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-055-3, Hardbound, AP #1148 Title: Easter (Festivals and Their Meaning II) Rudolf Steiner (8 lectures (selected): various sources) This volume is a tremendous help for participating in the deep spiritual realities behind the Easter festival.

This edition includes the discussions held after some of the lectures where Steiner goes into more detail and answers questions from the participants. Steiner shows here a new way of thinking that is necessary to grasp the living organism of the world economy. He also discusses such themes as the three kinds of money; the factors of price formation; the creation, production, and consumption of values; and the economics of cultural work. 245pp, NEP ISBN 0-94822-916-0, Paperback, AP #1720 Title: Education and Modern Spiritual Life Rudolf Steiner (14 lectures: Ilkley, England, Aug. 1923; GA 307) These lectures form one of the most comprehensive introductions to the philosophy of Waldorf education. These lectures have been published under the title: A Modern Art of Education. The spiritual values inherent in the education of children is the main thrust of these lectures. In addition to education, Steiner connects the results of a pedagogy based on spiritual insights and values with a mature, responsible, adult way of life. The negative results of not incorporating ethical, spiritual ideas and values in education is contrasted to the results of a positive, spiritual methodology. Steiner also points to the practice and realizations in daily life of a living proof of his ideas: the founding of the first Waldorf School in 1919. 232pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-262-9, Paperback, AP #1569 Title: Education as a Social Problem Rudolf Steiner (6 lectures: Dornach, Aug. 1919; GA 296) These lectures were given one month before the opening of the first Waldorf school in the context of post-war Germany. 113pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-084-2, Paperback, AP #273 Title: Education as an Art Rudolf Steiner and other writers A totally new approach to education was begun by Steiner in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1920, known as the Waldorf School Method. His method stems from a strong belief that the human being is in essence a spiritual being, and that education should seek to develop the total child. Education is an art when the teacher understands what capacities are present in the child at each stage of development and knows how to channel them in the right way. The true aim of education is not the mastery of a particular body of knowledge, but to develop free human beings who, of themselves, are able to give purpose and direction to their lives. 128pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-024-3, Paperback, AP #43 ISBN 0-83340-707-4, Hardbound, AP #656 Title: Egyptian Myths and Mysteries Rudolf Steiner (12 lectures: Leipzig, Sept. 1908; GA 106) Steiner reveals here the deep spiritual connection of our modern epoch with Egypt and why it is important to study its civilization with its profound wisdom, its extraordinary knowledge of cosmic laws, and its myths, which are meaningful for us now. He goes into the experiences of the Egyptian initiations, facts of occult anatomy and physiology, the stages of evolution of the human form, and more, culminating with a lecture on Christ as the conqueror of matter. 151pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-198-9, Paperback, AP #48 ISBN 0-88010-198-9, Hardbound, AP #47 Title: Esoteric Christianity and the Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz Rudolf Steiner (13 lectures: 1911 - 1912; GA 130) These lectures, delivered in several European cities, cover many details of the tasks and deeds of Christian Rosenkreutz and Rosicrucian Christianity, such as his influence on G.E. Lessing and Madame Blavatsky.

This not only sharpens and makes more flexible our own powers of thinking, but also overcomes a narrow-minded one-sidedness and promotes tolerance and understanding of other people and their opinions. 172pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 1-85584-140-1, Paperback, AP #381 Title: Hygiene as a Social Issue Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #572 Title: Ideas for a New Europe: Crisis and Opportunity for the West Rudolf Steiner (7 lectures: Dornach, Dec. 1919 - Feb. 1920; GA 194 and 196) Amidst the ruins of western civilization after the First World War, Steiner pointed to the urgency for renewal of the spiritual life as Europe struggled to return to normality. He challenged his listeners to understand the deeper causes, the spiritual roots of the modern predicament. Such a reexamination is now more pressing than ever as Europe stands on the threshold of a new destiny. These lectures contain some of Steiner's most important statements on what he saw as the role of the English-speaking peoples from the standpoint of spiritual history. 83pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 1-85584-121-5, Paperback, AP #1619 Title: Individualism in Philosophy Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Paperback, AP #1426 Title: Initiation, Eternity, and the Passing Moment Rudolf Steiner (7 lectures: Munich, Aug. 1912 GA 138) These lectures delineate the difference between ordinary and initiate consciousness.

New light is also shed on the fate of the Knights Templar, and Henry VIII, and Sir Thomas Moore.

How far must one go on the path of natural science before one finds higher worlds? Do the forces of the cosmos influence the whole of humanity? What connection do plants have with the human being and the human body? To answer these questions Steiner covers a wide range of topics including the development of independent thinking and the ability to think backwards; the uses of what seems boring; the reversal of thinking between the physical and spiritual worlds; the "physiology" of dreams as well as living into nature and the spiritual aspect of different foods. As always in his lectures to the workers, Steiner's style is simple, direct, and clear. This series of lectures has also been called: How Do We See Into the Spiritual World? 85pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-281-0, Paperback, AP #1439 Title: Life Between Death and Rebirth Rudolf Steiner (16 lectures: various European cities, 1912 - 1913; GA 140) In these lectures Rudolf Steiner deals with the experience of the human soul during and after death. He describes the states of consciousness experienced by our deceased loved ones and how we, taking into account their new consciousness, can communicate with them and even help them. Reading these descriptions, it becomes clear that excarnated souls need the spiritual support of those presently incarnated, and that those still on earth in turn derive enlightenment and support from their former earth companions. 308pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-91014-262-9, Paperback, AP #82 Title: Love and Its Meaning in the World Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Zurich, December 17, 1912) Love is the "moral" sun of the world. Deeds of love are not deeds that look for compensation in the next life. By everything we do out of love, we pay off debts. Interest in the earth's evolution is the foundation of love, while love founds everything else. Without sense-born love nothing material comes into the world; without spiritual love, nothing spiritual. 27pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #1025 Title: Macrocosm and Microcosm Rudolf Steiner (11 lectures: Vienna, March 1910; GA 119) The human being's life alternates between the great outer macrocosm and the hidden inner microcosm.

Steiner reveals that the concepts of spiritual science serve as our eyes in the spiritual world after death. He shows that we change the world when we communicate with it out of our spiritual nature, which is the true spiritual communion of humanity. 189pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-008-7, Paperback, AP #581 Title: Man as Symphony of the Creative Word Rudolf Steiner (12 lectures: Dornach, Oct. 19 - Nov. 11, 1923 GA 230) Translated by Judy Compton-Burnett, revised by Karla Kiriger In this important series of lectures, given near the end of his life, Rudolf Steiner brought together many aspects of his research into man and nature. The first three lectures show us man's inner relationship to the ancient and sacred animal representatives - eagle, lion and bull - and to the forces of the cosmos that form them. This insight is deepened in the second group of lectures by approaching the plant and animal worlds in the context of spiritual evolution. The third group gives a unique and intimate description of the elemental nature spirits - the purely spiritual beings the complement plants and animals - and the cooperation these beings offer to mankind. In the fourth series man himself is placed in this harmony of nature - in the symphony of the Creative Word. 222pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 1-85584-125-8, Paperback, AP #89 Title: Man as a Being of Sense and Perception Rudolf Steiner (3 lectures: Dornach, July 1921; GA 206) While natural science maintains that we have only five senses Steiner shows that in reality we have twelve. There are the four outer senses related to thinking: the ego sense, the thought sense, the word sense, and the sense of hearing. Then follow the middle four senses related to feeling: warmth, sight, taste, and smell. Finally there are the four inner senses related to will: the sense of balance, the sense of movement, the sense of life, and the sense of touch. 53pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-91992-411-5 Booklet, AP #570 Title: Man as a Picture of the Living Spirit Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: London, September 2, 1923) This lecture was given on the day of the foundation of the Anthroposophical Society of Great Britain. It is therefore especially important for English-speaking people. It contains the following verse: I gaze into the Darkness. In it arises Light - Living Light! Who is this Light in the darkness It is I myself in my reality. This reality of the 'I' Does not enter into my earthly life. I am but a picture of it. But I shall find it again When with good will for the Spirit I shall have passed through the Gate of Death. 32pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #88 Title: Man in the Light of Occultism, Theosophy, and Philosophy Rudolf Steiner (10 lectures: Oslo, June 1912; GA 137) Steiner reveals historical developments from the esoteric schools of the earliest antiquity, through personalities such as Plato, Aristotle, or Francis of Assisi, and other spiritual figures, to the modern pressing moral problems. 212pp, GC ISBN 0-89345-057-X, Hardbound, AP #1571 Title: Man in the Past, Present, and Future The Sun-Initiation of the Druid Priest and His Moon-Science Rudolf Steiner (4 lectures: Stuttgart and Dornach, Sept. 1923; GA 228) These lectures were given shortly after Steiner returned from a trip to England where he visited many of the stone circles of the Druids. Because of this trip he could give a lively description of the clairvoyant consciousness of the people who erected these ancient monuments. He describes how they discerned the changing seasons and stellar influences from the quality of the shadows cast by the stones. From this they directed agricultural practices and acquired a deep knowledge of the elemental beings in nature.

Through this, Steiner shows the significance of scientific research and the mode of thinking that goes with it. As we look at what technology has brought us, we can have a feeling akin to the one of pain over the death of a person. This feeling, Steiner says, will become the most important impetus to seek the spirit. 147pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-140-7, Paperback, AP #1020 ISBN 0-88010-140-5, Hardbound, AP #1031 Title: Overcoming Nervousness Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Munich, Jan 11, 1912; GA 143) Practical advice and exercises for strengthening the influence of the ego over the astral body, the astral body over the etheric, and the etheric body over the physical.

"Looking at the world today we should really consider the most striking characteristic of social life in the civilized world to be that the smaller communities of past times have given way to quite large human communities.... The civic communities of towns formed a relative whole." He makes visible the forces of decline active in modern civilization and how these forces are trying to wrest human destiny from the active participation of human beings. He presents with profound poignancy how Christ is pouring a new spirit into human evolution. 183pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-556-9, Paperback, AP #1174 ISBN 0-88010-206-3, Hardbound, AP #1175 Title: Portal of Initiation and The Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily Rudolf Steiner and J.

Above all, brotherliness, freedom of thought, and pneumatology must prevail. Three cardinal characteristics must be developed: compassion - so that we feel another's suffering as our own; religious belief as individual, free determination; the primacy of the spiritual in all areas of life. This is the same as to say: "Community above us; Christ in us." 22pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #123 Title: Problem of Left-handedness Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #1123 Title: Psychoanalysis and Spiritual Psychology Rudolf Steiner Introduction by Robert Sardello (5 lectures: Dornach, Nov. 11 and 12, 1917; Munich, Feb. 25 and 27, 1912; Dornach, July 2, 1921;) In these five lectures, previously published under the title Psychoanalysis in the Light of Anthroposophy and long out of print, Steiner lays the foundations for a truly spiritual psychology. The first two lectures constitute a critical examination of the principles of Freud and Jung. The last three lectures begin with a description of the threefold structure of human consciousness (reflective or mirror consciousness, supra-consciousness, and sub-consciousness) and go on to outline a psychology that takes into account both the soul's hidden powers and the complex connections between psychological and organic, bodily processes. Robert Sardello, co-director of the Dallas Institute for Humanities and Culture has contributed an important introduction from the perspective of a practicing psychotherapist. 142pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-290-X, Paperback, AP #1466 ISBN 0-88010-351-5, Hardbound, AP #1520 Title: Reading the Pictures of the Apocalypse Rudolf Steiner (16 lectures (notes): Munich, 1907; Oslo, 1909; GA 104a) Preface by Virginia Sease We are daily overwhelmed by pictures of the world situation which reflect mighty spiritual events in our time. Our task is to learn to rightly read these pictures and make judgments about them. This book offers rich opportunities for such practice, or inner schooling, so that we can meet the world situation in full wakefulness. These lectures, consisting of listener's notes, present Steiner's account of the meaning of the most esoteric book in the Bible. Themes include: the nature of the third millennium; Sorat and the significance of the number 666; the War of All against All; the Second Coming of Christ; and the true nature of the I and the possible futures open to it - futures that depend upon our actions now. The illustration on the cover is drawn from these lectures. It represents the occult sign for the Intelligence of the Sun, the Christ, the adversary of Sorat, the Demon of the Sun. 128pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-370-1, Paperback, AP #1633 Title: Reincarnation and Immortality Rudolf Steiner The themes of the six articles included here, are in direct connection with the Western Esoteric Tradition.

In contrast to most teachings on this subject, he gave concrete descriptions of the metamorphoses undergone by individuals in the course of successive incarnations. He also gave specific examples of the working of karma, as well as practical exercises for experiencing the reality of incarnation. In this set of lectures, which contains some of Steiner's most important teachings on the subject, Rudolf Steiner describes the development of "feeling memory" and gives many other exercises that lead to real knowledge of karma and reincarnation. Examples are also given of how karmic effects pass between incarnations and the impact of the idea of reincarnation on our moral lives is clearly shown. These lectures are also published under the title: Reincarnation and Karma: Their Significance in Modern Culture 126pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-366-3, Paperback, AP #126 Title: Reincarnation and Karma: Their Significance in Modern Culture Rudolf Steiner (5 lectures: Berlin and Stuttgart, Jan. - Mar. 1912; GA 135) Steiner gives here numerous exercises to develop a direct experience of reincarnation and karma.

ISBN 0-91992-406-9, Paperback, AP #126 Title: Renewal of the Social Organism Rudolf Steiner (26 essays: Written 1919 - 1920; GA 24) Culture, politics, economics - these are the three core activities of society. Social health depends on the harmonious interworking of these three activities which, Steiner says, is possible only if they are sufficiently autonomous so each can find its own essential character. In his foreword, Joseph Weizenbaum observes that the framers of the U.S. Constitution understood this, at least in part, when they developed the constitutional doctrine of separation of church and state. These essays cover a range of issues with special attention to money, the division of labor, human motivation, and education. They offer refreshing insights into the nature of modern society as well as guidance for solving today's pressing social problems. 151pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-125-3, Paperback, AP #1009 ISBN 0-88010-126-1, Hardbound, AP #1010 Title: Roots of Education Rudolf Steiner (5 lectures: Bern, April 1924; GA 309) This course of lectures is a companion volume to Essentials of Education, given just two days later.

It is through the recognition of our life in the spiritual world that we can become truly social beings and bring transforming, creative forces into the world. 96pp, Rudolf Steiner Press ISBN 0-85440-198-9, Paperback, AP #666 Title: Rosicrucian Christianity Rudolf Steiner ISBN None, Booklet, AP #131 Title: Rosicrucian Esotericism Rudolf Steiner (10 lectures: Budapest, June 1909; GA 109) These lectures present an overview of the western Rosicrucian esoteric knowledge elaborating on the nature of the human being; the physical world as an expression of spiritual forces and Beings; the stages of earth evolution in Lemuria, Atlantis, and after Atlantis; and the human being's experience after death.

Steiner says that humanity now stands at this threshold and the keys to crossing are self-knowledge, self-control and a clear recognition of the working of Lucifer and Ahriman. These lectures contain some of Steiner's most significant insights into the path to higher knowledge. 168pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-196-2, Paperback, AP #1212 ISBN 0-88010-195-4, Hardbound, AP #1213 Title: Self-Knowledge and the Christ Experience Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Dornach, February 2, 1923) "One should be able to say to himself: I live in this or that epoch. I am not human in the full sense of the word if I give myself over to chance. Chance has deposited me in earthly life through birth. But to give myself up to chance as far as my consciousness is concerned would simply be to abandon myself to karma. I am only human, in the full sense of being human, if I take account of what the historical development of humanity asks from my soul life, belonging as I do to this particular epoch." 17pp, Rudolf Steiner Press/Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #1295 Title: Social Issues Rudolf Steiner (5 lectures: Dornach, January 5 - May 6, 1920; GA 334) Out of his passionate engagement with the social problems of the modern age, Steiner here discusses the political, economic, and social conflicts of our time as symptoms of faulty thinking, His analysis of economic crises, unemployment, and political uprisings unmasks their true nature as signs of the need for new thinking. In forceful, clear language Steiner presents his vision of the threefold social order, an order based on free will and spiritual insight and therefore appropriate for free individuals in our time, Steiner's insights come as a fresh breeze of air, awakening us to responsibility and hope. 152pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-358-2, Paperback, AP #809 ISBN 0-88010-359-0, Hardbound, AP #810 Title: Social Understanding Through Spiritual-Scientific Knowledge Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Dornach, October 4, 1919) "Human beings can only become social if they really meet one another in life, and something passes between them." For this to happen, we need true knowledge of what a human being is. This lecture makes very clear the continuity and interwovenness of body, soul, and spirit in all human life. "You only see the world aright if you see it as being neither materialistic nor idealistic, but are capable of following up the ideal aspect of what is presented in a material way and following up the material aspect of what is presented as an idea."

In this classic, unparalleled work of angelology (one of only two lecture cycles he gave on the subject), Steiner leads the reader from sense experiences to the experience of the spiritual beings active in nature, in the elements and forces of the earth, and to the dynamic, cosmic working of the angelic hierarchies. He unfolds in an inspiring and magnificent vision the cosmic collaboration of the hierarchical beings in cosmic and human evolution, and shows how human beings, as angelic beings, participate in this process as the Tenth Hierarchy. 188pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-367-1, Paperback, AP #141 Title: Spiritual Ground of Education Rudolf Steiner (9 lectures given at Manchester College: Oxford, England, August 16 - 25, 1922) 144pp, Garber ISBN 0-89345-058-8, Paperback, AP #1365 Title: Spiritual Relations in the Human Organism Rudolf Steiner (3 lectures: Dornach, October 20 - 23, 1922) 64pp, Mercury Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #144 Title: Spiritual Research: Methods and Results Rudolf Steiner Edited by Paul M.

Among the themes he considers are spiritual science as a knowledge of action; the twelve senses of the human being in their relation to Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition; the science of initiation and the impulse for freedom; and viewpoints on the forming of healthy social judgments.

These beings have access to almost every part of the human being. For example, the luciferic beings can enter the etheric body with our breath. Only in the center of the heart is there a space that cannot be reached by either Lucifer or Ahriman, and it is from this tiny spot that the human being must maintain his balance and thus his true humanity in the face of these cosmic opponents. 45pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #18 Title: The Being of Man and His Future Evolution Rudolf Steiner (9 lectures: Berlin, 1908 - 1909; GA 107) Throughout our life, we have to struggle with questions that cannot be answered on the basis of our experience or with our ordinary thinking.

Here he surveys the meaning of Christmas in past, present, and future. Contrasting the contemporary focus on gift giving with the deeply spiritual mood connected with advent and Christmas in earlier times, Steiner goes on to outline the history and meaning of the traditional Christmas Plays.

In these lectures, given just after the end of the First World War and in the midst of trying to effect the social-political life of his times with the movement for a threefold social order, Rudolf Steiner focuses on the vital task of developing a right orientation toward the spirit: a free spiritual life. With great compassion and understanding he shows, in telling examples, how humanity must walk a conscious middle path between the two "tempting" powers of Lucifer and Ahriman. He tells of the incarnation of Lucifer, in the third millennium BCE, from which flowed not only the wisdom of paganism but also the intellectual consciousness we enjoy today. Ahriman is shown to be approaching humanity through phenomena such as materialism, nationalism, and literalism in preparation for his incarnation in the millennium now opening. It must not be thought, however, that these two powers work apart: on the contrary, they work more and more together, Our task is to hold them in balance, continually permeating the one with the other. Doing this requires a new form of conscious spirituality. 96pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-375-2, Paperback, AP #979 Title: The Inner Development of Man Rudolf Steiner (1 lecture: Berlin, Dec. 15, 1904; GA 53) An introductory lecture on the nature of esoteric thinking. 22pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN None, Booklet, AP #72 Title: The Inner Nature of Music and the Experience of Tone Rudolf Steiner (7 lectures: 1906, 1922, and 1923; GA 283) This spiritual scientific study is full of insights into the nature of musical experience, the connection between speech and song, the religious experience of music in ancient times, the cosmic sources of musical inspiration, and the occult experience of major and minor modes. 103pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-055-9, Paperback, AP #712 Title: The Karma of Untruthfulness, Vol. I Rudolf Steiner (13 lectures: Dornach, Dec. 4 - 31, 1916; GA 173) In the midst of the turmoil and upheavals of the First World War, before a steadfast circle of members of the Anthroposophical Society, Steiner speaks out against the frenzy and hatred in the propaganda of the time. Out of his insights into the spiritual impulses of human evolution, he gradually leads his audience to an understanding of the new world and new social structure that is struggling to be born. He unmasks the stream of accusations and counteraccusations, of attacks and counterattacks, as an illusion veiling the true spiritual struggle taking place behind the outer events. Shining with the clear light of the speaker's courage, these lectures have much to teach us about a spiritual understanding of the political world conflicts we are confronted with in our time. 306pp, Rudolf Steiner Press/Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-302-7, Paperback, AP #1359 Title: The Karma of Untruthfulness, Vol. II Rudolf Steiner (12 lectures: Dornach, Jan. 1 - 17, 1917; GA 174) Out of his research into the spiritual impulses of human evolution, Steiner reveals the dominant role secret brotherhoods played in the events culminating in World War One, and warns that the retarding forces of nationalism must be overcome if Europe is to find its new destiny. He emphasizes the urgent need for a new social structure to emerge out of the insight of spiritual science if humanity is to progress into the future with confidence.

Starting with the early Christian "gnostic" understanding of the Christ event from within, Steiner shows how medieval theology came to an "outer" view of the spiritual world that, coupled with the rise of abstract intellectuality, led to the separation of faith and knowledge. Using examples from Dionysius the Areopagite, Scotus Eriugena, Paracelsus, and Goethe, Steiner places the evolution of consciousness and the task of the Michael age in a Christian context. The last four lectures, given in Oxford (and London) against the background of the Manchester College conference on "spiritual values in education and social life," demonstrate the presence of theology in the anthroposophical world view. 128pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-352-3, Paperback, AP #13 ISBN 0-88010-353-1, Hardbound, AP #103 Title: The New Spirituality and the Christ Experience of the Twentieth Century Rudolf Steiner (7 lectures: Dornach, October 1920; GA 200) The constitution of the human soul has undergone a tremendous evolution since the 15th century. "I" consciousness and individuality have emerged as central to the life of soul along with intellectualism and the possibility of free will. At the same time the intensity with which the human being experiences knowledge has declined along with the old clairvoyance. The time is now ripe for the awakening of new forces of spiritual perception with which humanity will perceive the working of Christ in the etheric world. 127pp, Anthroposophic Press ISBN 0-88010-213-6, Paperback, AP #1279 ISBN 0-88010-212-8, Hardbound, AP #1280 Title: The Nine Training Sketches For the Painter (Nature's Moods) Rudolf Steiner Text by Hilde Boos-Hamburger This book offers an introduction explaining the purpose of the training sketches and a detailed description and interpretation of each sketch.
